Welcome to EGamersWorld.
As we look ahead to the new season's Long Season, we continue to keep an eye on what's happening at local tournaments. One of them is Demacia Cup 2023, where essentially all the big names from the Chinese region are taking part.
Demacia Cup 2023, in case you don't know, features both professional teams and amateur teams. The former are Oh My God and the latter are obviously RST.
It is this pairing that will open up the Group B clashes at Demacia Cup 2023. The match, to be fair, is not the top match in terms of The International erez. Still, we will be looking at who will be stronger and get the first victory in Demacia Cup 2023, and who is destined to start the battles at the tournament with the first loss.
Let's go.
Oh My God Form
Let's open the match with an analysis of Oh My God's form. In this match they play as clear favourites, with odds to win at around 1.
OMG are not known for their performance, but they have been somewhere in the middle throughout their history. That was also the case in 2022, when OMG finished in the top 10 of LPL Summer 2022.
OMG looked much more formidable after the restarts before the start of the 2023 season. Their first big result was a top-4 finish at LPL Spring 2023, and that's quite an accomplishment.
- Oh My God line-up: Cube, xiaofang, Angel, Able, ppgod.
At the end of LPL Summer 2023, Oh My God finished in the top 8. They advanced to the play-offs, the second round of the main stage where they played against EDward Gaming. They failed to beat the title club, as a result 2-3.
In addition to participating in the regional championships of the LPL series, OMG played at the local event NEST 2023. There, by the way, Oh My God showed a really high level of play. Despite their sluggish play in the group stage, having reached the play-offs from the second place of their basket, Oh My God defeated Bilibili and FunPlus Phoenix in turn, but couldn't match Royal Never Give Up when they reached the finals.
Oh My God's most popular champions
In OMG peaks, KSante (6 matches, 50% wins), Sion (2 matches, 50% wins) appeared on the top line.
Foresters were picked by Sejuani (4 matches, 50% wins), Wukong (3 matches, 33% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), Maokai (2 matches, 50% wins). Poppy was also winning.
On the centre line, the most piked were the contact killers. Sylas and Yone were picked three times each, both won 2 matches each.
Lucian was the most frequent shooter. The champion was picked 5 times, and he won 2 matches. Zeri (3 games, 100% wins), Varus (2 matches, 50% wins) were also picked.
The pool of players is quite familiar. Karma (2 games, 50% wins), Yuumi (2 matches, 100% wins), Nami (2 games, 50% wins).
RST Form
We continue the match review with the analysis of RST's form. They play as a clear outsider, and the odds of winning are so exorbitant that there is nothing to talk about.
In general, RST is not even a team. It's mostly a mix and that's a compliment.
RST is a typical representative of Demacia Cup from the category of "amateurs". However, in their case amateur sounds a bit loud, because they are announced for the tournament as a team of "streamer". Exactly streamer and it seems - he's AmazingJ.
The only thing we can rely on when analysing RST is their lineup. So let's do just that.
- The shape of the RST: AmazingJ, Ruo, Wuming, Zz1tai, Mint, Wednesday.
One of the most famous and notable players in the RST lineup is AmazingJ. The top of the lineup has played for several big clubs: EDG, Bilibili and Royal Never Give Up. He has an appearance at Worlds by the way, and there was even a top 6.
Another "famous" performer in the roster is Steel, who plays here under the nickname Wuming. In his time mid laner managed to play for Rogue Warriors and, by the way, OMG. In the composition of the latter was listed just recently - in 2021.
The second topper Zz1tai also has something to boast about. In 2018 he was the champion of the LPL Summer Playoffs, which is not given to every representative of China.
RST's most popular champions
On the top line the team picks KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Renekton (3 games, 33% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 66% wins).
In the forest all the same, more or less standard: VI (7 games, 57% wins), Maokai (3 games, 66% wins), Poppy and Sejuani 2 matches and 0 wins each.
On the centre line with no deviations. There are Azir (4 matches, 50% wins), Ryze (4 games, 50% wins), Syndra (2 games, 50% wins), Cassiopeia (2 matches, 50% wins).
The championship among shooters is held by Lucian. Champion appeared 5 times, but won only 2 matches. Tried to Zeri, but failed: 0-3 in three appearances.
Among the supporting champions, Nami was a success. She was picked up 5 times, and her winrate was 40%. Yummi (3 games, 0% wins) and Ashe (3 games, 66% wins) were also picked.
History of head-to-head meetings RST - Oh My God
Previously, the teams have not played each other in head-to-head meetings, nor could they play each other. This will be their debut match.
Predicted result of Oh My God vs RST at Demacia Cup 2023
As with most matches of this calibre, there is no special The International riga here. Oh My God, unlike RST, is a team. Not a top team, not catching stars from the sky, but a team that consistently performs on the LPL and demonstrates any kind of results there. It won't be difficult to outplay RST, and then we need to prepare for battles with more serious opponents.
Bottom line: Oh My God.
