WBG Ueno ushered in its debut!BLG all-main force against RNG, who is the strongest all-Chinese class?
On December 31, 2023, Beijing time, the quarterfinals of the 2023 Demacia Cup will usher in two matches on this day: WBG vs. NIP and BLG vs. RNG. So, what are the highlights of this day's competition? Let's find out!
WBG VS NIP
Judging from the on-site debugging of the Demacia Cup players released by WBG, Xiaohu did not appear, which means that Xiaohu said in the live broadcast that he would not participate in the German Cup and got a real hammer. In fact, without TheShy in WBG, Xiaohu can be said to be the most critical player in WBG. Therefore, Xiaohu's absence will undoubtedly reduce the overall strength of the WBG team a lot. Of course, although WBG did not send their own main lineup, it does not mean that they cannot beat NIP. At least the duo of Light and Crisp is still very strong. If WBG can play an advantage from the two-way lane, there is still a chance to beat NIP. In addition, Ueno players Zdz and Xiaohao of the new WBG season are also about to make their WBG debuts in this match. And whether this pair of Ueno can stand up is believed to be one of the very interesting highlights of this game.
NIP had a pretty good run in the group stage of the German Cup, and the combination of Shanji and Aki in Ueno has been quite impressive, at least for now. Rookie, on the other hand, is still in his prime, especially in that game against TT, where his clockwork was a textbook performance. In addition, Photic and Zhuo's two-man lane was also quite good because of the help of players in other positions. At least judging from the performance in the group stage, this NIP has some of the feeling of the big V Tianlong in the 2022 season. Of course, part of the reason why NIP was able to perform so well in the group stage was that the opponents in the group stage were not particularly strong. Therefore, this quarterfinals match with WBG may be the best way to test the strength of NIP's new lineup.
BLG VS RNG
Judging from the BLG German Cup on-site investigation attempt, the appearance of knight and the official blog saying that Xun just had a cold and did not come to debug, seems to mean that BLG is very likely to send a full main lineup in this game. And because of the addition of knight, there are four national team players in the BLG lineup in the new season. Therefore, BLG is also called the ultimate Chinese class by many people. Even before the Demacia Cup began, many people felt that BLG could successfully defend the German Cup championship, and this time BLG is very likely to send a full main lineup, which actually shows BLG's determination to defend the title. And in this game, BLG will face the veteran all-Chinese team RNG. And judging from the overall strength of RNG's new lineup, it may be perfect as the "touchstone" of the BLG team. So, what big changes have happened to BLG with knight's joining? Let's wait and see!
The new lineup of RNG played a winning posture in the group stage of the German Cup, although such a result is related to the strength of the opponent in the group stage, but it can still be clearly felt that the joining of LWX and the return of Xiao Ming have brought very big changes to RNG's double road, and RNG is likely to return to the ranks of strong teams. In this game, RNG will probably face one of the strongest opponents of the new season, BLG. And where exactly is the RNG cap of the new lineup? Perhaps this game will provide us with some answers.
Finally, friends, which two teams do you think will be able to make the cut?
