Prediction
Despite suffering a slow start to League of Legends Worlds 2023, Bilibili Gaming have ramped up as the tournament has progressed. While the team had some solid performances in the Swiss Stage, they barely made it to the playoffs bracket with a 3-2 record. From thereon, they faced tournament favorites Gen.G and defeated them in a thriller best-of-five, which brought the best out of the Chinese roster that fans have been used to seeing post-MSI 2023.
Jungler Peng "XUN" Li-Xun was the star of the show and had an incredible performance against the LCK champions, putting his lackluster performances behind him. Top laner Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin continued to be a fantastic and imposing presence on the map. Bilibili Gaming looks to be at their peak, with the team thriving in both individual mechanics and macro gameplay.
Weibo Gaming are one of the surprise entries at League of Legends Worlds 2023. While fans viewed them as a strong LPL roster with incredible peaks, their inconsistency and lack of cohesion suggested a swift exit in the Swiss Stage. However, the team now stands one series away from the Grand Finals.
Incredible performances from legendary top laner Kang "TheShy" Seung-lok and superstar ADC Wang "Light" Guang-Yu have powered Weibo Gaming to a guaranteed top-four finish. However, they have yet to defeat an Asian lineup and have only managed to secure victory against their Western counterparts, who are often branded as significantly easier opponents.
Ultimately, Bilibili Gaming should emerge as the winners and book their second consecutive international League of Legends Grand Finals. The odds are stacked against Weibo Gaming, and the LPL's 4th seed must pull out all the stops to score a major upset and continue their astonishing run.
