Prediction
Gen.G are one of the early favorites to clinch League of Legends Worlds 2023. The LCK champions cemented their claim with some extremely clean and dominant victories on the Swiss stage. The Korean roster did not lose a single match and remains the only team yet to drop a map. The roster has been spearheaded by veterans such as jungler Han "Peanut" Wang-ho and mid laner Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon, who have been exceptional.
Coupled with that, the young talents of the botlane duo, Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan and Yoo "Delight" Hwan-joong, have performed admirably so far, with the latter standing out for his incredible Rakan and Alistar gameplay. With the general consensus being Gen.G falling on the easier side of the playoffs bracket, expectations are high for the LCK's number one seed.
Bilibili Gaming, on the other hand, had a tumultuous road to the playoffs stage. The team scraped through the Swiss stage with a 3-2 record and had some pretty close games, largely due to their inconsistency. However, top lane Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin has been stellar at the event, delivering hard-carry performances on champions like Jax and Renekton.
Their weakness stems from a poor early game due to jungler Peng "XUN" Li-Xun and mid laner Zeng "Yagao" Qi failing to deliver on expectations. Additionally, ADC Zhao "Elk" Jia-Hao's tendency to overextend in teamfights has cost them dearly in certain scenarios.
Gen.G are highly expected to win this best-of-five series and enter the semifinals to face LPL's fourth seed, Weibo Gaming. The former has significantly improved since League of Legends MSI 2023, while Bilibili Gaming have notably regressed. The meta is also tailored perfectly for Gen.G at this event, further boosting their claim to victory.
