Prediction for the match between Royal Never Give Up and Edward Gaming
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the Chinese LPL 2022 championship. We are waiting for a match between equal teams Royal Never Give Up and Edward Gaming. The group stage went well for both teams, according to the results of the group stage, the teams placed in neighboring places in the standings. Therefore, an intriguing battle is expected. I won’t say that everything is so obvious here with the favorite, since we are considering the current champions against an equally successful club.
Royal Never Give Up Form
For Royal Never Give Up, the season went on as usual. The team finished the group stage in 4th place in the tournament line, with a score of 13-3. Thanks to this, she made it to the third round of the playoff stage. It's hard to say if they'll be able to get past Edward Gaming, the reigning champion team, albeit in the doldrums. Given the state of their opponent, RNG have much more chances, so bookmakers put them forward as the favorite of the competition.

Edward Gaming Uniform
More than once we discussed the state of the club and the situation around does not change at all. Although the final result of the group stage allowed the team to play in the playoffs, this result is not worthy of the title of current world champion. I would like to see some progress from Edward Gaming, since it is important for them to score Championship Points to get through to World 2022. Maybe they saved their strength for the next stage and now they will start showing what the champions are really capable of, I would like to believe it. Therefore, I will make my choice in their favor, I don’t think that a team of such a high level will give this victory to RNG so easily.

Exodus
To be honest, a rather ambiguous confrontation awaits us. It is very difficult to predict the outcome of the battle between Edward Gaming and Royal Never Give Up. Since both squads are quite formidable opponents and have a long history of achievements and victories behind them. Still, I would venture to suggest that Edward Gaming will not miss the chance to get higher in the bracket in order to achieve the desired goal - the next performance at the World 2022 tournament. Therefore, I am counting on their victory. Since the team is capable of this and we all watched their skill very well last year.
Outcome: The winner of this confrontation will be the Edward Gaming team.
