(Country) – The LPL region is ready with the strongest teams to compete in the World Finals – the most anticipated League of Legends tournament of the year.
If you follow the League of Legends LPL summer 2022 tournament, you will see that the competition for the championship as well as the tickets to the World Finals is extremely harsh. After many intense match 5 (Bo5) matches that often led to game 5, Jindong Gaming was officially crowned the champion and won the 1st seed. Next, Top Esports, Edward Gaming and Royal Never Give Up won the remaining 3 tickets to the World Finals. And this year, what these 4 teams own, let’s come to the introduction of LPL Official under the pen of Caster LPL Thoai 247.
1. Defending LPL Champion Jindong Gaming
This year really belongs to Jindong Gaming. This team itself is not overestimated in competing for the LPL summer championship when it comes to the balance with Top Esports or RNG. However, with the brilliant performance of all the members, especially the outstanding performance of top laner 369, Jindong Gaming made the audience go from one surprise to another.
JDG this year played successfully beyond imagination.
In addition, both Kanavi and Yagao themselves performed excellently this summer, young AD carry Hope and Missing also flourished in the bot lane, JDG won the championship that couldn’t be more deserving. This year, JDG will share a group with G2 Esports Damwon KIA and a WildCard team, which is considered a pretty good table for the representative from China. JDG’s biggest obstacle is Damwon KIA, but Damwon KIA is now not overrated because of his fluctuating performance, Damwon’s bottom lane is not stable, and the squad is still in turmoil.
One more thing in favor of JDG: Tactics (Meta). This year’s meta focuses on junglers and AD carry, so JDG is very happy because they have the best jungler in the world right now: Kanavi. The focus will be on Jindong Gaming as they are able to win the World Championship tournament.
2. LPL Top Esports Runner Up
In contrast to JDG, Top Esports has not left much of an impression in decisive matches, they often lose in intense Bo5 matches even though their strength is not inferior to their opponents. The gameplay of Top Esports is quite emotional, but we also have to see that TES owns many players with excellent personal skills, such as Knight. In addition, Wayward’s personal skills are also extremely good, with a certain understanding of the game. The Top Esports bot lane also has awesome individual skills, but the gameplay is still a bit wild.
Basically, Top Esports is not bored with any team in the world when compared to hand skills. However, bravery is what TES lacks in intense matches. This year, TES was placed in Group C along with Rogue, GAM Esports and a WildCard team. Basically, this table is too easy for Top Esports, so the top goal of the table will definitely be from the Chinese representative. The strength of Top Esports is always in the group stage, when playing in Bo1, individual skills will greatly affect the situation of the match. Top Esports has always been highly appreciated but disappointed in many different seasons, from domestic to international.
Knight is still the brightest star of Top Esports
3. Former World Championship Champion Edward Gaming
Edward Gaming had a tough time in the 2022 Summer LPL tournament, it seemed like they were going to fall behind. However, towards the end of the tournament, Edward Gaming came back strong, winning a 3rd ticket to the World Finals.
The biggest reason why Edward Gaming can rise up so strongly can only lie in the fact that Viper is on the field, Scout plays better. However, members like Junjia or Flandre have not yet created peace of mind for fans because they play quite erratic, often dealing with errors, uncertainty or lack of mutation. Therefore, it is not exaggerated to say that Viper carried the team, this guy gradually brought EDG all the way to the finals of the losing bracket.
This year EDG shares a group with T1, Cloud9 and a WildCard team. The opportunity is still there for Edward Gaming but it will be much more difficult than JDG, TES. EDG’s strength is not as strong as these two teams while they have to face T1 – a team full of international experience and the number 1 seed in North America Cloud9.
4. Royal Never Give Up
Royal Never Give Up’s performance in the summer LPL was quite disappointing. They had a lot of discretion to go far in the Play-offs but lost that advantage, then were eliminated at a time when there was no draw. From there, they were eliminated despite being judged as title contenders. Entering the regional qualifiers, they lost the 3rd seed again and continued to be in danger of being eliminated if they lost to Lining Esports but fate still smiled on them.
RNG is really strong except that the top laner is more of a stable player. Therefore, playing the warm-up round will only be to warm up the hands, they are not too difficult to destroy the warm-up round when their strength is superior to the rest. Entering the group stage, this team will be promoted to Group D, the same group as Chovy’s Gen.G, Ruler. Obviously, both teams CTBC Flying Oyster and 100 Thieves didn’t have enough to stop Gen.G and RNG so the door to the inner ring of RNG was very bright. The question now is: “Are they strong enough to aim for the championship or not”?
