Team BDS vs. DetonatioN FocusMe League of Legends Worlds 2023 Play-Ins: Who is expected to win?

Prediction

Following a great start to their League of Legends Worlds 2023 run, Team BDS secured their spot in the Play-In Stage by defeating the Golden Guardian of North America. Their first match saw them pitted against Team Whales from Vietnam. While they clinched the initial game in the series, the next two matches ended in heartbreaking losses. As a result, they suffered a 1-2 series defeat.

Adam "Adam" Maanane, BDS' top laner, has consistently been instrumental in the team's success. Whenever he gets off to a strong start, BDS seamlessly builds on his momentum. This is a clear testament to the East's growing dominance.

Meanwhile, Japan's best team, DetonatioN FocusMe (DFM), has been struggling. Their first game was a loss against Taiwan's second-seeded CTBC Flying Oyster. Completely outclassed by the opponent, DFM suffered a 0-2 series loss.

Taking on BDS will require a significant overhaul in tactics. They appeared quite lost during the initial matchup and were defeated in every clash.

As for the prediction, Team BDS should be able to grab an easy 2-0 victory. However, despite the East being perceived as a home for weaker League of Legends teams, even their smaller regions have garnered wins against the West's best.
