Team WE picked up two massive wins last week when they stomped Ultra Prime (2-0) and swept Invictus Gaming (2-0), improving their record to 6-7. WE looked like an entirely different beast in Week 8, and their win against IG suggests they might’ve finally found some traction following a somewhat unconvincing start to this LoL split.
LGD Gaming are 5-8 and enter this match following a shock victory against Top Esports (2-0) on Saturday. It marked only their second victory from their last four games, but over that stretch LGD had to face Weibo Gaming (0-2), Bilibili Gaming (2-1), EDward Gaming (1-2), and Top Esports (0-2), so a 50% win rate isn’t that bad.
This is a crucial match for the teams and their quest to reach the playoffs, and they’ve both shown improvement over the last two weeks. Still, Team WE look stronger on paper, and LGD might have overperformed a bit, but we don’t expect this to be one-sided.
Over 2.5 maps looks like the right play, but we’ll take a correct score prediction on Team WE winning 2-1.

Royal Never Give Up scored a big victory over Weibo Gaming (2-1) last week, proving that they can go toe-to-toe with the top teams in the LPL. But that win doesn’t change the fact that RNG are 1-3 over the last two weeks, which includes two concerning losses against Bilibili Gaming (1-2) and Anyone’s Legend (1-2).
Ultra Prime enter this match on a five-game slide, having not won a game since they upset OMG in Week 6. UP haven’t produced much over the last couple of weeks, but it’s not like we’ve seen them perform well once this split.
They still look better than Anyone’s Legend and are arguably a bit better than FunPlus Phoenix, but that’s about everything positive we can say about Ultra Prime. The only thing going for them in this match is that Royal Never Give Up can be a bit inconsistent, but with the talent on RNG’s roster, we don’t expect to see any surprises on Thursday.
