JD Gaming vs LNG Esports Preview

JD Gaming

JD Gaming is one of, if not the most dominant team in the world right now. 369 and his teammates have a chance to complete the “Golden Road”, meaning they won all of their domestic titles, the Mid-Season Invitational and Worlds as well. So far, no team has been able to complete this monumental task, but the LPL 1^st seed has a chance.

JDG has won both their matches in the last two days with incredible dominance. Their average game duration is less than 26 minutes, and they were didn’t falter against Team BDS or Bilibili Gaming. They also seem to be ramping up, as BDS gave them some trouble in the early game, but BLG couldn’t really affect the outcome of the match.

LNG Esports

LNG Esports had a great showing so far as well. Scout and his teammates have defeated the 2^nd seeds of the LEC and the LCS, Fnatic and Cloud9 with ease. Against both teams the Korean star midlaner played Azir to almost perfection, while the rest of his team supported him immensely.

They had a bit of a tougher time against Cloud9, but ultimately crushed the historically best team of North America, showing that even the 3^rd seed of the LPL is a force to be reckoned with.

JD Gaming vs LNG Esports Predictions

Even though LNG Esports has a 2-0 record, they haven’t beat the best of the best. Make no mistake, C9 and FNC are some of the best teams in the world, but overall, the LCK and LPL teams have better performances so far. Even though JD Gaming also faced an LEC team, they demolished Bilibili Gaming – and have beaten LNG every time they met in the LPL. If JDG bans Scout’s Azir, they shouldn’t bump into too many roadblocks.
