MAD Lions vs Weibo Gaming League of Legends Worlds 2023: Who is expected to win?

Prediction

MAD Lions have quickly turned into one of EMEA's most disliked League of Legends teams by fans from that region itself. This organization has historically failed to meet the expectations put on a team from such a major region.

Things have not gotten any better for the squad at the League of Legends Worlds 2023, either, as this roster has faced further humiliation by losing to two North American teams. It's worth noting that North America is a direct rival to EMEA. Due to this, a lot of European fans are actively rooting against the team, which is quite sad to see because they showed admirable gameplay in domestic competitions.

It is not all over for the MAD Lions, however, as they have a chance to correct their mistakes. The squad's jungler, Javier "Elyoya" Prades Batalla, and ADC, Matyáš "Carzzy" Orság, will be absolutely pivotal to their success in their upcoming game.

Weibo Gaming has also been quite disappointing at League of Legends Worlds 2023. However, viewers who paid close attention to the LPL know that there aren't a lot of expectations of this roster despite the talented players on it. This lineup's erratic and highly inconsistent gameplay has presented itself on the international stage, as seen in their defeats against G2 Esports and KT Rolster.

The game against the former saw Weibo Gaming fumble a massive lead, which resulted in them seeming mentally checked out against KT Rolster, who proceeded to run over them.

This matchup against MAD Lions will serve as the perfect opportunity to showcase their mechanical brilliance and get back on the right track.

Weibo Gaming is expected to win this best-of-three series against MAD Lions. The former has insane firepower that their foes can simply not match up to. Paired with better individual laners and mechanics, they should comfortably close out this series with a 2-0 scoreline.
