The first match in the quarterfinals of LPL Spring 2020 brings us face to face on Top Esports and Team WE.
The match will be played on Friday starting at 12:00, and at the end of this preview you can find a bet on the number of maps.
This is the ninth edition of the Chinese Professional League of Legends. Of the 17 teams that played in the regular season, the first 8 went to the knockout stages.
The first 2 ranked went directly to the semifinals, 3-4 places in the quarterfinals, and 5-8 places in the eighth. From now on, the BO5 single elimination system is played (the best of 5 maps), which means that the loser goes home.
Top Esports: Team shape, news and statistics
Top Esports finished the regular season on the 4th position with 11 victories and 5 defeats, which allowed it to go straight to the quarterfinals, without playing eighths.
The team had not started the season too well, ticking only 3 victories in the first 6 matches. However, another 8 victories followed in the next 10 matches, including the last 3 games of the season (all three won at zero).
The most impressive of these was the last stage with FunPlus Phoenix, a team that due to this result missed direct access to the semifinals.
On the other hand, among the two recent defeats is one even with today’s opponent, score 1: 2.
It should also be mentioned that TES recently transferred JackeyLove from Invictus Gaming, who took his place in the last 3 matches to Photic as ADC.
Also, in the last matches Qiuqiu was replaced by yuyanjia on the support post, which is somewhat surprising because he had very good evolutions (better than his replacement had at the moment).
Team WE: Team shape, news and statistics
Team WE grabbed the last place of the play-off after beating Oh My God 2: 1 in the last round, which in case of a victory would have taken its place in the eighth.
There WE met eStar, and many did not give her much chance.
Not even the bookmakers, who gave him a 3.05 odds to win. But Team WE turned the paper calculations upside down, winning 3: 1.
Jiumeng, the ADC of the team, was without a doubt the man of the match, who managed an impressive score of 25: 6.
If you had bet on over 2.5 maps in WE’s matches in the regular season you would have made a lot of money, and that’s because the team has reached the decisive map in nine of the last ten games (and this given that statistically more many matches end in 2 maps than in 3). We no longer calculate the match with eStar in the playoffs, it being played in BO5 format.
⚽️Statistics of direct matches Top Esports vs Team WE
▪️As I said above, Top Esports has lost only two of the last ten matches, one of the defeats being in the company of today’s opponent.
▪️The match took place on April 8 and ended 2: 1 for WE.
▪️However, TES will approach today’s match with two players changed from last match.
LOL Prediction of the Day Top Esports vs Team WE
To make this bet, it is enough that none of the teams beat 3.0.
It would take a real miracle for WE to achieve this score, so we take this scenario out of the equation.
There is a risk that she will lose 0: 3, but we doubt that this will happen. First of all, Team WE is a real specialist of over matches, only one game out of the last 11 played by it ending from the minimum of maps.
And beware, ten of them played BO3, not BO5 like this!
Plus TES lost in the regular season with WE, so I don’t think it can win today at zero. It is true that he is better in the ADC position after the transfer of JackeyLove from Invictus Gaming, but he will have as direct opponent Jiumeng, who is in a very good shape.
Plus TES lost on the other hand by replacing Qiuqiu with yuyanjia as support.
Bet Tips: Over 3.5 maps
Odds: 1.50
