CTBC Flying Oyster vs. Team Whales League of Legends Worlds 2023 Play-Ins: Who is expected to win?

Prediction

In Group B of the League of Legends Worlds 2023, CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) has an impressive victory in the series opener. The team completely dominated Japan's DetonatioN FocusMe, showcasing stunning mastery throughout the two games, resulting in a clean 2-0 win.

In both games, Hsu "Rest" Shih-chieh, the CFO's top laner, proved to be the key player. The enemy top lane was unable to keep up with his successful laning phase on Rumble. This enabled the team to gain momentum as they snowballed to victory in the latter stages with impressive team fights and objective control.

Initially considered the underdog against BDS from Europe, Team Whales shocked everyone by winning the whole series after losing the first match. They came back strong and won back-to-back games, leaving BDS stunned and defeated.

Trần "Artemis" Quốc Hưng was the backbone of Team Whales, with his prowess as ADC being the key to their victory. Throughout games 2 and 3, the 22-year-old masterfully maneuvered both Xayah and Kai'Sa, ravaging their opponents with a Lethality Kai'Sa build.

The League of Legends matchup between CFO and Team Whales will be quite competitive. As for the prediction, the latter is expected to win the series 2-1.
