Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The Demacia Cup 2023 regional tournament doesn't seem to be coming to an end. We are still talking about the group stage of the intermediate tournament and already 4 matches in Group D.
The match between Team WE and Ultra Prime. If we met such a match during the LPL, we would not pay much attention to it, but in Demacia Cup 2023 such a match is definitely worth a candle.
We will try to find out which team will be stronger in this match and get one step closer to the play-offs of this tournament. There, by the way, we will have a chance to face JDG, Bilibili, WBG and LNG, which is worth a lot.
Let's go.
Team WE uniforms
Let's start the match analysis by analysing Team WE's form. In this match, they play the number one, with odds to win at around 1.3.
Last season Team WE frankly failed. The team finished 15th place at LPL Spring 2022 and 17th at LPL Summer 2022. However, the team managed to improve a bit during LPL Spring 2023.
Getting into the play-offs of LPL Spring 2023 is already an indicator. Team WE won 8 matches out of 16 played to advance to the main stage. However, they failed to move further into the top 10.
After a very poor performance on the home stage, Team WE continued to play in the LPL, namely at the summer split - LPL Summer 2023. In the course of the tournament, WE managed to finish in the top 9 of the group stage, thus guaranteeing themselves a play-offs appearance. However, everything ended in the first round of the main stage: WE lost to EDG with a score of 1-3 and left the championship, having finished LPL Summer 2023 in the top 10.
Prior to playing at Demacia Cup 2023, Team WE also played at NEST 2023. It was another hybrid Asian championship where professionals and amateurs play in one place. There WE played very confidently in the group, took the 2nd place and went to the play-offs, but were immediately outplayed by JD Gaming. As a result - TOP-6.
- The composition of Team WE: Wayward, Heng, FoFo, Prince, Iwandy .
At Demacia Cup they are approaching with an experimental lineup. Prince is NOT the core, but otherwise it's pretty serious.
In the first match WE will play against WSQ and that match should end with an easy win for WE.
Team WE's most popular champions
On the top line, Team WE has no revelations. 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.
Ultra Prime Form.
We continue the match breakdown with an analysis of Ultra Prime's match form. In this match they are playing as an outsider with win odds around 3.2.
The team has been on the professional scene since 2021. Since that time, Ultra Prime has 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. The results were not there either: 1-2 in the group and an early exit to the TOP-16.
In the first match of Demacia Cup 2023 Ultra Prime will have to play against Top Esports. TES are the main contenders to get out of Group D and one of the favourites of the tournament as a whole (considering the squad they brought), so it will be extremely difficult for UP to do anything against them. Apart from the match against TES, Ultra Prime will play against WSQ, where they should win without any chances.
Ultra Prime's most popular 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 other stable players are Lulu (3 matches, 66% wins), Rakan (3 games, 0% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 50% wins).

Predicted result of Ultra Prime vs Team WE at Demacia Cup 2023
In this match we should expect at least a bright game with the presence of beautiful game moments. If we talk about the winner, I see Team WE. In my opinion, they will fight with TES to get out of the group.
Bottom line: victory for Team WE.
