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

Prediction

By defeating the Golden Guardian of North America, European powerhouse Team BDS saw an impressive start to their League of Legends Worlds 2023 run by securing their spot in the Play-In Stage.

Next on their plate was a series against Team Whales from Vietnam. They clinched first the game but eventually were defeated in the two that followed in a gut-wrenching fashion. The contest ended with a 1-2 series defeat.

BDS came back strong in their last match against DetonatioN FocusMe. With ease, they dominated the Summoner's Rift and took the series 2-0. A noteworthy performance by Crownshot, the team's ADC, played an essential role in securing this victory for them. Xayah was also instrumental in this series, resulting in a Penta-kill for Crownshot.

On the other hand, CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) performed admirably against DetonatioN FocusMe in their first matchup at League of Legends Worlds 2023. Individual brilliance was evident among this squad's players, along with well-executed team fights.

In their previous series against Team Whales, CFO's performance was not good enough to secure a win. Although they put up a good fight in the first game, Team Whales dominated in the next two games and showed a level of skill that their foes could not match.

As both CFO and Team BDS are eager to secure their spot in the second round of the Play-In Stage, there is a palpable sense of competition between them. Considering both squads' recent performances, the latter is expected to come out of this series with a 2-1 victory.
