After the long offseason, the 2022 League of Legends LPL Pro League Spring Tournament will finally kick off on January 10. On January 10, Beijing time, the LPL will usher in two wonderful BO3 matches, starting with OMG vs. TT, followed by the rebuilt FFP against RNG. On the first matchday after the start of the LPL, these two games can be described as a lot of attention, especially the competition between FPX and RNG.
At 17:00 on January 10, the LPL's new season opener was played by OMG against TT. Although neither team is a popular team, they have achieved squad reinforcement through this transfer period. The addition of Shanji on OMG has made the team achieve qualitative changes, and also showed the impact of OMG's new lineup on the German Cup stage, and Creme believes that OMG's strength is still enough to impact the playoffs after returning to the team.
TT won the downside duo of Puff and Southwind during this transfer period, and the lower limit of the team was guaranteed. This opener is crucial for the new lineup of TT, and if it can win the opening, I believe that the morale of the entire team and the confidence of the players can bring a great improvement. Although TT's downside is not inferior to OMG, it is still inferior to its opponent in terms of UE NAKANO configuration.
In terms of the strength of the Ueno position, the combination of Shanji, Aki and Creme in the entire LPL is also enough to rank in the middle and upper reaches of the level, TT is still inferior to OMG in comparison, from the Tokukumi can be seen that although Shanji has just stepped on the LPL stage, his ability to match the line and the hero pool is extremely strong, coupled with the personal ability of the talented teenager Creme in the middle of the road, TT may be very difficult to win. According to the data given by the pre-game professional e-sports prediction platform, this opener is indeed more optimistic about OMG with 1.24, which shows that the lineup is still the stronger OMG paper strength.
After the opening match, there will be a strong dialogue between FPX and RNG at around 19:00 on the same day. Both teams have more or less some personnel changes, RNG's single Cryin left the team, and A Bin joined as the upper single tiger to turn back to the middle road, making the strength of this RNG difficult to judge. The FPX is completely rebuilt, retaining only Lwx to stay with four new players, but the FPX of this lineup is still competitive in terms of German Cup performance.
FPX left only Lwx alone as the cornerstone of the new squad during this year's transfer period, and the Little Tigers sat on the starting lineup and the introduction of the auxiliary Hang played a very good chemical reaction. In particular, Hang's personal ability is extremely strong, and the down-road combination with Lwx has played an advantage many times against TES, which shows how strong their down-road line strength is. However, this time they also faced the top LPL team RNG in the first game of the spring tournament, and the team's paper strength was better than the FPX.
In the pre-game list of the two teams announced by the LPL official blog before the game, the starting lineup of the RNG side did not surprise the audience, and Bin, who has just joined the RNG, will start the game, which will test his good qualities and the current run-in with his teammates. What is surprising about the FPX side is that the signed Korean aid Didn't play in The Lone, and Kitagawa's debut made FPX fans have some concerns about Nakano's communication. However, Clid may still be in isolation and cannot play, and can only let Kitagawa play first, which may also be his chance to fight for playing time.
Through this transfer period, although RNG lost the outstanding team type single Cring, but the addition of bin allowed RNG to have a more reliable Carry point on the road, Xiaohu returned to his familiar middle road, with the previous experience of playing singles, I believe that it will be a big improvement for RNG. From this point of view, the RNG lineup for the new season is more impactful, as long as Bin can integrate into the RNG system.
For Bin's level of listing, if it can really be fully integrated into the tactical system of RNG, it will undoubtedly be a huge increase for him. After all, last year's RNG protection style of play is obvious to all, even the tiger who has just transformed on the road can also achieve a very good play, if Bin and Wei can have a good chemical reaction, with Xiaoming, Xiaohu's travel support ability, RNG's road is likely to become a difficult point for other teams in the new season.
The key point of the two teams is the strength and weakness of Ue nakano, because the down road of RNG is actually a very stable way of playing, and Xiaoming often swims to the upper road to help his teammates open up the situation. If RNG can build an edge in Ue nakano, their offense will be unstoppable, as Bin's Carry ability has been demonstrated over the past few seasons. It is not difficult to see from the data given by the pre-game professional e-sports prediction platform that although the FPX showed a new look in the German Cup not long ago, it still fell behind with 2.76 in the face of reinforcement.
