JDG have Lost Only 1 Series
Winning 12 out of 13 series in one of the best leagues in the world isn’t something easy to achieve, but JDG has done it. They took down both Top Esports and Victory 5 in a convincing manner, which should give them a lot of confidence coming into this match. But if their next match is against RNG and they have already played against TES and V5, which team is capable of taking down the current LPL leaders?>
During week 4 of the regular season, FunPlus Phoenix showed their best form and beat JDG in a 2-1 manner. Personally, I don’t think much of that loss just because of how dominating JDG has been throughout the split. Who would’ve thought that a team that had a poor spring playoffs run would be able to roll over the summer regular season. >JDG lost both of their series against RNG and V5 in the playoffs, so if they win this match, we could say that they’ve turned things around.>
For me, JDG’s jungler is the player to watch. Seo “>Kanavi” Jin-hyeok is having a great split and if we are being completely honest, he looks 1 step ahead of the rest of the competition. >He boasts the highest KDA (5.4) and highest CSM (6.3) out of all the starting junglers. While some junglers prefer to focus on either ganking or farming, Kanavi has found the right way to play the game and excels in both aspects.>
If Gala Plays Well, RNG are Unstoppable
That’s the narrative. In every single game that Chen “>GALA” Wei pops off, the 2022 MSI Champions become the absolute best team in the league. While they have already lost a couple of series against Victory 5 and Top Esports, >RNG have already secured a spot in playoffs and they have been looking better and better as the split progresses. And it’s not like those defeats were one-sided, not at all. Even in their losses, RNG still managed to find small windows to put their opponents in very uncomfortable positions.>
This meta should suit RNG perfectly because it’s based on playing around your ADC, and fortunately for them, they have one of the best in the world. >Amongst ALL of the starting ADCs of the top leagues in the world, Gala ranks 5th in KDA (5.9). In the LPL he is one of the most dominant players, scoring 9.6 CSM and 611 DPM, which is impressive considering that he isn’t the main damage dealer for RNG.>
Achieving what Gala has achieved would be basically impossible if it wasn’t for his teammates acting as enablers. Li “>Xiaohu” Yuan-Ha is having a great split, even if he is not the main protagonist in this RNG lineup. >His 7-1 Lissandra and 6-1 Taliyah reflect that he is feeling very comfortable playing a style that allows him to help his teammates (especially Gala) in order to pick up wins. On the other hand, his Azir 1-4 record might indicate that we won’t be seeing him play in a carry-oriented way any time soon.>
After their 2022 MSI Run, it’s pretty clear that RNG are strong contenders for the title. This isn’t something that, for example, G2 could say as they are constantly struggling in the European league, and it could be due to their “MSI hangover”. >RNG already faced 2 of the top-3 teams, and JDG is going to be their last challenge of the split.

JDG vs RNG Predictions
This LPL week has been so exciting for all the >league of legends betting> fans out there. First we had JDG going up against V5, the top teams that were leading the standings, and against the >lol odds>, JDG picked up a 2-0 win. >Now, the 2022 MSI Champions are facing their biggest challenge of the split so far, and their hopes rely on Gala.
RNG comes into this game as the favorite team. I think that RNG can gain an early advantage thanks to Xiaohu and his champion pool. If RNG’s mid laner finds a gap in JDG’s early game, it’s going to be extremely easy for them to take over the game as they know exactly how to put Gala in a comfortable position. While the JDG players are some of the best in the league, I think that RNG is ramping up quickly and they will show their supremacy in this game.>
PICK: RNG to win at -110
