Forutsigelse av kamp: LGD Gaming - Ninjas in Pyjamas | LoL

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The long-running LPL Summer 2024 tournament is reaching its climax. The LPL Summer 2024 play-offs will not only determine the best team of the semester in China, but also the Worlds 2024 participant from the most "populated" region of the competitive League of Legends.

Ninjas in Pyjamas and LGD Gaming will open the play-offs. The match will be played in bo5 format, and the winner will advance to the next round where they will play against JD Gaming.

We are trying to figure out who of the pair NiP - LGD Gaming will be stronger and will go to the next round, and who will have to leave the championship, having just started playing at LPL Summer 2024.

Let's go.

NiP Form

Let's open the NiP vs LGD match with an analysis of the Ninjas in Pyjamas uniforms. In this match NiP play the first number one with odds to win at around 1.4.

The first tournament for the Ninjas was the LPL Spring 2023. NiP finished in the top 13, which is not a terrible result for their debut.

• NiP roster: Shanji, AKi, Rookie, Photic, Zhuo.

After the Top 13 at LPL Spring 2023, Ninjas in Pyjamas resorted to stand-ins. They affected both the management and the playing staff. The changes were clearly beneficial, because in the summer split NiP looked fresh and deservedly passed in the play-offs LPL Summer 2023. In the group stage, NiP finished in the top 10 and made it to the play-offs, where they even managed to get through the first round and ended up in the top 8.

In between LPL Summer 2023 and Demacia Cup 2023, NiP visited NEST 2023. They didn't play seriously there and made it to the top 8.

At Demacia Cup 2023 NiP look quite good. They confidently passed the group stage, winning all their matches.

NiP continued to show class in the play-offs. The first match of the main stage was against the vice-champions of Worlds 2023 Weibo Gaming. And not just played, but won - in a serious fight (3-2). As a result of Demacia Cup 2023 NiP managed to get into the top 4, where "Ninjas" met with Bilibili and lost.

In the group stage of LPL Spring 2024, NiP, I would say, played better than what was expected of them. They finished in the top 5, which allowed them to go straight into the second round of play-offs.

LPL Spring 2024 started the main stage with a pretty tough win over Team WE. NiP won with a score of 3-2. Then another win and this time against FPX and again 3-2. And with Bilibili Gaming NiP did not cope, but managed to take the map - 1-3. As a result, the top 4, which was a very good result for the club.

At the LPL Summer 2024 NiP Long Competed from Group D, where they took TOP-2. Rumble Stage LPL Summer 2024 was quite tough and NiP took the last line, playing it with a score of 0-8. They qualified for the play-offs after defeating Rare Atom in the so-called Decider round.

NiP's top line includes Jax (3 matches, 33% wins), Gwen (2 matches, 50% wins), Gangplank (2 matches, 50% wins), Jayce (2 games, 50% wins).

In the woods, Maokai (7 matches, 42% wins), Sejuani (4 games, 25% wins), Vi (3 games, 66% wins) were permanent.

LGD Gaming uniforms

We continue the analysis of the opening match of LPL Summer 2024 play-offs with the analysis of LGD Gaming form. In this match, they play as the number two with the odds of winning at around 2.5.

Since 2015, the team has not been able to boast of any performance. The last season is no exception.

LGD Gaming failed miserably in the 2022 season when they finished top-14 and top-16 at LPL Spring and LPL Summer respectively. In 2023 I wanted to believe in progress, but it turned out to be TOP-14 at LPL Spring 2023.

• LGD Gaming lineup: Burdol, Meteor, haichao, Shaoye, Jinjiao.

After a full-blown failure at LPL Spring 2023, the team resorted to point changes, but little progress is evident. Xiaoxu left the LGD camp at the Long Split, while Fearness and Envy were the new arrivals. Unfortunately for LGD and their fans, the changes in the squad did not lead to anything and the top Chinese club in the League of Legends is still in the last ranks: LPL Summer 2023 took the last, 17th place, which can not be called a result.

A string of defeats led to another change in the squad. We tested a new roster at NEST 2023, but even there we didn't advance further than the group stage - TOP-17.

It was not much better at Demacia Cup 2023. Although LGD Gaming played in the group 3-1, they still could not make it to the play-offs. LPL Spring 2024 finished in their repertoire, namely on TOP-12.

At the LPL Summer 2024 Long Sogpeg from Group B, where they finished top-2. This allowed them to advance to the Rumble Stage, where, however, LGD Gaming failed to cope with the onslaught. The team played with the score 1-7, and entered the play-offs after winning the Decider-match against Invictus Gaming.

LGD Gaming's most popular champions

KSante (4 matches, 25% winrate), Malphite (3 matches, 0% wins), Gragas (3 matches, 66% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 0% wins) are the most frequently sent to the top line.

In the forest they play with Graves (4 matches, 25% wins), Wukong (4 matches, 25% wins), Kindred (3 matches, 66% wins).

The centre line by measure is Annie (6 matches, 16% wins), Neeko (5 matches, 20% wins), Ahri (4 matches, 50% wins).

Aphelios (6 matches, 16% wins) is the most frequently chosen shooter. There are also Jinx (2 matches, 50% wins) and Xayah (2 matches, 0% wins).

The pool is pretty standard: Lulu (5 matches, 40% wins), Braum (3 matches, 33% wins), Nautilus (3 matches, 0% wins), Rakan (3 matches, 0% wins).

History of head-to-head meetings Ninjas in Pyjamas - LGD Gaming

Previously, the teams played each other twice: once in the group stage and the second game was held in the Rumble Stage. First NiP won, and then - LGD Gaming.

Predicted result of the match NiP - LGD Gaming at LPL Summer 2024 Playoffs

In this match we should expect an equal fight. Both teams showed a very cheerful Long Corner in the group stage, but then in the Rumble Stage fell to pieces. Both teams are equal in the history of head-to-head meetings, so we should expect something like 3-2 in the end. As for the winner, I will choose NiP.

Bottom line: NiP win.
