Predictions
G2 Esports enjoyed a phenomenal start to their League of Legends Worlds 2023 campaign. However, the team's success was short-lived, as back-to-back losses against Gen.G and NRG have sent them to the last chance saloon, where they will have a final opportunity to reach the playoffs bracket.
The loss against the former was quite expected, but it was their defeat to the latter that shocked many due to the roster's uncharacteristically poor performance.
The LEC champions were utterly demolished, with players such as support Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle and mid laner Rasmus "Caps" Winther massively underperforming. It will be interesting to see how G2 Esports bounce back against an opponent capable of a much higher ceiling than NRG with less than 24 hours to prepare.
Bilibili Gaming are probably the strongest 2-2 team in the League of Legends Worlds 2023 Swiss stage. While their record might allude to poor performances, the teams they have lost to are arguably in the top five, such as JD Gaming and T1.
This is a reassuring sign for Bilibili Gaming as they have looked extremely impressive in their two victories. Their opening win against KT Rolster, another strong opponent, was a noteworthy achievement.
Bilibli Gaming have heaps of talent and mechanically gifted players across all roles, each having the potential to take over the game. Their strong teamfighting paired with unbridled aggression and ferocity, make them a terrifying opponent.
Bilibili Gaming are the expected favorites to close out this best-of-three series and advance to the playoffs bracket. The Chinese roster has shown substantially cleaner gameplay against teams below their level, which has been proven against G2 Esports at MSI 2023.
