Hello and welcome to EGamersWorld.
LPL Summer 2023 continues, along with the group stage matches of the biggest regional league championship. Next up is the final match of game day 4.
Oh My God and Team WE will be playing. I can't say the match is top notch, but The International erse.
The International game is interesting at least because Oh My God is playing, and they showed a serious Long Corner last season. On the other hand, playing Team WE, who made a very serious debut at Long Corner LPL Summer 2023.
Both teams are in the top ten and nominally qualify for the play-offs. Obviously, it's too early to draw conclusions, but Long Corner is given and it's a pretty good one.
Let's try to see which team will be stronger in this clash and earn the necessary points at the Long Corner in the group stage, thus increasing their chances of qualifying for the play-offs of the tournament.
Form Oh My God
We'll open the showdown with an analysis of Oh My God's form. In this game, the team will play as favourites.
The bookmakers confirm the pre-match status. The odds on OMG to win this match are settled at around 1.5.
Such a figure does not come from anywhere. We already noted OMG's success at LPL Spring 2023 and nothing seems to have changed since then.
OMG are not known for their iconic performance, but have in fact been somewhere in the middle their entire history. This was also the case in 2022 when OMG were in the top 10 of the LPL Summer 2022.
The OMGs were much more formidable after the restarts before the start of the 2023 season. Their first big result was Top 4 in LPL Spring 2023 and what a display it is.
- Oh My God line-up: shanji, AKi, Creme, Able, ppgod.
Smelling the scent of big scores, OMG Long Sogpega took LPL Summer 2023 on a major note. Prior to the Long Sogpeg match, the team is in 8th place with a score of 4-2 on mapm.

OMG's top picks have been KSante (6 matches, 50% wins), Sion (2 matches, 50% wins).
From the Foresters, Sejuani (4 matches, 50% wins), Wukong (3 matches, 33% wins), Vi (2 matches, 50% wins), and Maokai (2 matches, 50% wins) were chosen. Poppy was also winning.
On the centre line, the contact killers were the most pickable. Sylas and Yone were picked three times each, both winning 2 matches.

The pool of players is quite usual. Karma (2 games, 50% wins), Yuumi (2 games, 100% wins), Nami (2 games, 50% wins).
Team WE's form
We continue our analysis of the Team WE review match. In this match the team will play in the status of the outsider.
The bookmakers are unanimous in their evaluations. The odds on Team WE's success are estimated at around 2.4.
Perhaps this is one of the closest duels after the game Bilibili Gaming - LNG, which we have seen so far in LPL Summer 2023. All because of the closeness of the teams in terms of performance.
Last season Team WE frankly failed. The team took 15th place in LPL Spring 2022 and 17th in LPL Summer 2022.
Their reaching the play-offs of LPL Spring 2023 is already an indicator. Then to qualify for the main stage Team WE won 8 of the 16 matches played. However, they didn't manage to get any further than Top10, it was too far to reach OMG's position in Top4.
- Team WE squad: Cube, Heng, Shanks, Hope, lwandy.
In the new season, i.e. at LPL Summer 2023, Team WE have made a serious debut. The team takes 6th place, having won 4 matches out of 4. Moreover, the team has not given away a single game in the course of these 4 series.
Team WE's most popular champions
At the top line, Team WE have no revelations. Collective picks KSante (4 games, 50% wins), Renekton (3 games, 33% wins), Gnar (3 games, 66% wins).
In the woods everything is also more or less standard: VI (7 games, 57% wins), Maokai (3 games, 66% wins), Poppy and Sejuani 2 games and 0 wins each.
On the centre line, there are no deviations. Azir (4 games, 50% wins), Ryze (4 games, 50% wins), Syndra (2 games, 50% wins), Cassiopeia (2 games, 50% wins).
Championship among shooters for Lucian. Champion appeared 5 times, but won only 2 matches. Tried Zeri, failed: 0-3 in three appearances.
Among the supporting champions Nami was a success. She was taken 5 times, and her win rate was 40%. Yummi (3 games, 0% wins) and Ashe (3 games, 66% win rate) were also picked.
History of head-to-head encounters
The most recent result is the head-to-head encounter in LPL Spring 2023. OMG won then, 2-0.
Match outcome
In this encounter, I expect a battle and good play from both sides. While both teams have shown the highest level of play and while Team WE look better having won all their matches by a scoreless draw, OMG remain a formidable opponent and will not let WE down.
I'll assume WE will take the map, but I wouldn't rule out a clean sweep for OMG.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Team WE.
