The 2023 League of Legends LPL Spring Season regular season has ended the first six weeks of competition, and the top of the current standings is 7-1 LNG, followed by four teams JDG, TES, EDG and WBG. With the new week of competitions on the horizon, February 28 ushered in the second matchday of the seventh week of the LPL regular season, with two exciting BO3 matches, RNG vs AL at 17:00 and TES at 19:00 at WE Xi'an.
The opening game on the second day of the seventh week of the LPL regular season will be played at 5 p.m., with RNG, who have recently been in hot form, against AL, who finished last in the standings. Although the AL lineup has only changed in the middle this season, the team's performance has dropped significantly compared with last season, mainly because Zdz and Xiaohao, two newcomers, are difficult to continue the excellent performance of last season after being gradually studied, coupled with the team's auxiliary SwordArt as a veteran reaction and operation have declined, making the overall strength of the team not as good as before.
For AL, who have played more than half of the regular season, their current 1-8 record and -10 win goal difference make them largely out of the playoffs, and there is only a theoretical possibility of promotion. The personnel changes of the middle singles and auxiliary this season have not yet shown a positive effect, and they may need to continue to run-in, or perhaps the lineup will have to continue to adjust. However, for the current AL, what they can do at this stage is to find out the team's problems as much as possible in the subsequent games and improve them, and strive to win a few more games.
On the other hand, the trend of RNG can be described as opening low and going high, with the change of coach and Xiaoming's renewal of his return to the team, RNG has recently regained its form and started a wave of four consecutive wins. What is even more terrifying is that RNG has won eight consecutive games, which means that in this wave of four consecutive wins, RNG has not lost even a small game. And the reason why the changes before and after are so huge may be the same as Gala said in the live broadcast, because they have discovered that this version is the version of the road-controlled dragon. Coupled with the 13.3 version of the online race suit, the teams are on the same line in terms of version understanding, so RNG's operational ability and team battle execution as a veteran strong team help them quickly return to the ranks of strong teams.
Compared with AL, the advantages of RNG are undoubtedly all-round, and the individual abilities of players in each position are stronger than each other. Therefore, it is very difficult for AL to get up, and while Betty has to stand up on the next road, it is very critical whether Zdz and Xiaohao can take the initiative on the road. According to the data given by the professional esports prediction platform before the game, RNG, which has been on a recent winning streak, has a steady upper hand with 1.11, and as long as they can maintain their competitive state in the recent period, it is not difficult to win the bottom AL.
The second match of the day was played around 19:00, with WE, which had improved slightly this season, against Team TES, which had recently lost to JDG. Due to the embarrassing record of 0-16 last season, WE is determined to strengthen this season and bring in Hope and Iwandy, plus Shanks' personal form this season, so WE won the first win early in this spring, avoiding the embarrassment of extending the losing streak.
However, although WE's results this season are much better than last season, the 4-5 record is still far from the top teams in the LPL. And because the gap between LPL mid-table teams is too close this season, it is also difficult for WE to compete for a place in the playoffs, and they still face great challenges in the subsequent schedule. This match against TES is a difficult opponent for the current WE team, and the team's paper strength TES is far stronger than WE.
The strength of TES this season comes from Rookie's seamless integration into the team, and the double C formed by Jackeylove is reminiscent of the S8 season, when the two were still in iG, and the two partnered again after several seasons. After taking Wayward as the starter on the road, his hero pool shortboard did not appear for a while, and when it came to heroes such as Quisanti, Noshou and Crocodile, he was even able to play Carry.
And Xiaotian this season can be said to dream back to S9, regaining his peak state, in the game won by TES, Xiaotian's early rhythm can be said to be impeccable, even if TES loses the game Xiaotian is mostly "best effort". For WE, it is very feasible to rely on newcomer Heng to fight against the S9 World FMVP Xiaotian, and how to establish an advantage in the early stage has become a problem for WE. According to the data of the professional e-sports prediction platform before the game, this game TES is without suspense with 1.16 steady upper hand, as long as Xiaotian and Rookie's Nakano combination can roll a snowball in the first and middle stages, with the operation of strong teams and TES's stronger team fighting and fighting ability, this game TES should be able to easily pocket the victory.
