Group APredictions: G2 Esports, Suning
G2 Esports has always shown up during Worlds. They might drop a game or two during the Group Stage, but they will still make it out considering how strong their individual skills are. No mid laner in Group A can stand up against Rasmus “Caps” Borregaard Winther!
Suning showed how deadly a good jungler-support-mid trio can be when they played out their games against LGD Gaming during the LPL Summer Playoffs and Regional Finals which resulted in a total 6-0.
Lê “SofM” Quang Duyis an aggressive jungler. Paired with Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh, who roams so much, other teams better watch out.
Group BPredictions: DAMWON Gaming, JD Gaming
DAMWON Gaming, champions of LCK Summer 2020, possess a team full of mechanically talented players who love to pick strong laning champions. They have excellent team fighting skills and shotcalling too.
JD Gaming‘s aggressive playstyle will definitely bring them out of this group. They will invade their opponent’s jungle, they will dive them out, they will take any fights there are, and they aren’t going to stop until they win the game.
Group CPredictions: Gen.G, Fnatic
Group C should be the tightest group. Anyone could make it out, but I’m leaning towards Gen.G and Fnatic. LGD Gaming didn’t not put on a very good Play-Ins performance, and whileTeam SoloMidmay have had a good run this split, Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng hasn’t been playing at his best.
Group DPredictions: TOP Esports, DRX
Having one of the best — if not the best — mid-jungler duo in the world, no doubt TOP Esports is one of the strongest team coming into Worlds.Hung “Karsa” Hao-Hsuanand Zhuo “knight” Ding will destroy anything that stands in front of them.
DRXis another team who has a bunch of mechanically talented players. Their mid laner, Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon, always shows up with insane, clutch mechanical plays and they’re definitely one of the strongest teams coming into Worlds too.
