Matchförutsägelse: Top Esports - Ultra Prime | LoL
Demacia Cup 2023 Group StageWelcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue our preparations for the Long Segment of the regular season in China with the matches of the Demacia Cup tournament. This is an intermediate event with all the top teams in the region, which serves as a sort of preparation for the start of LPL Spring 2024 in January 2024.
Ultra Prime and TOP Esports are among the participants. Both teams are LPL residents, so their face-to-face match promises to be quite The International heresy, even though the teams are not in the S-Class.
Let's try to see which side will be stronger and will win the first match in Group D.
Let's go.
TES Form
Let's open our match analysis with an analysis of TOP Esports' form. In this match, the once World No. 1 team will play as clear favourites with odds of 1.1.
In 2022, Top Esports finished top-2 in the domestic league twice before making a top-10 appearance at Worlds 2022. In the new season, the situation is slightly worse: they finished top-7 in the LPL Spring 2023, managing to qualify for the play-offs but failing to win a single game there.
- Tes Esports roster: 369, Tian, Creme, JackeyLove, Meiko.
The group stage for TOP Esports was pleasant, but far from perfect. TES shared the top 4 of the regular season with LNG, winning 12-4 in the series.
In their first play-offs match, TES faced serious resistance from EDG. TES defeated their counterparts by a score of 3-2.
TES fell to the bottom seed after a clash with Bilibili Gaming. That match ended in a 3-1 victory for the latter. Further bad luck continued in the lower grid of LPL Summer 2023. In the match for life at the tournament TES met LNG Esports, tried to impose a fight, but were powerless, lost with a score of 1-3 and left the tournament on the 4th line.
TES later played at the LPL Regional Finals 2023, where they tried to make it to the Worlds. Again they came up just short, as TES Ledge beat WBG 2-3, thus losing their chances to qualify for Worlds 2023.
TES also had NEST 2023, where TES failed to make it out of the group, finishing 2-1.
Most Popular Top Esports Champions
KSante (7 games, 85% wins) and Renekton (5 games, 80% wins) remain the most popular top line picks. Sion (3 matches, 66% wins) and Darius (2 matches, 100% wins) are next.
In the forest, Sejuani (9 matches, 77% wins), Vi (4 matches, 75% wins), Maokai (4 games, 100% wins) are ubiquitous.
Jayce (6 games, 100% wins) appears in the mid (6 games, 100% wins). Next are Azir (4 games, 75% wins), Akali (3 games, 66% wins), Sylas (3 games, 33% wins).
TES has a standard set of shooters: Lucian (6 games, 66% wins), Varus (4 games, 100% wins), Sivir (3 games, 33% wins). Draven (3 games, 66% wins) and Jhin (3 matches, 66% wins).
Pool players: Nami (6 games, 66% wins), Yuumi (4 games, 75% wins), Nautilus (4 games, 75% wins), Heimerdinger (4 games, 100% wins).
Ultra Prime uniforms
The team has been on the professional scene since 2021. Since that time, Ultra Prime have never made it to the championship play-offs.
The maximum achievement remains a top-12 finish in 2022. This happened at LPL Spring 2022.
Ultra Prime's last achievement, however, was a top-17 finish at LPL Spring 2023. Next up was LPL Summer 2023
- Ultra Prime's lineup: Decade, H4cker, Yuekai, Jwei.
UP tried to somehow improve their standing on the global Chinese scene by playing at LPL Summer 2023, but it turned out to be pretty mediocre. Ultra Prime finished their appearance at LPL Summer 2023 in the group stage, playing it with a score of 5-11. Nominally, the result improved from LPL Spring 2023, but in fact, it did not.
Prior to the Long Soccer Demacia Cup 2023, the team played at NEST 2023. There was no performance there either: 1-2 in the group and an early exit to the Top 16.
The most popular Ultra Prime champions
On the top line the most frequent picks are KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 100% wins).
Foresters picks are Wukong (4 matches, 50% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), Nocturne (2 matches, 50% wins), Viego (2 matches, 0% wins).
On the centre line Gragas (4 matches, 50% wins), Annie (4 matches, 50% wins).
Aphelios (6 matches, 33% wins), Jinx (3 matches, 66% wins), Zeri (2 matches, 100% wins).
The same is also stable on the Suprorts: Lulu (3 matches, 66% wins), Rakan (3 games, 0% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings between UP and TES
The teams have played each other twice in the 2023 season. Both times TES won without a single chance for UP.
Predicted result of the match Ultra Prime - TOP Esports at Demacia Cup 2023
I don't see any chances for Ultra Prime in this match. Especially, TES are going to play seriously at Demacia Cup 2023, considering the roster they have put up so far.
Bottom line: TOP Esports wins.
