TT, whose playoff hopes are faltering after a loss to FPX-AL, faces a formidable opponent.
NIP-AL, TT-TES, and BLG-UP will face off on Day 5 of LPL Summer 2023 Week 2 in Shanghai-Shenzhen, China, starting at 4 p.m. on Aug. 8.
The matchup to watch is TES-TT in game two, as the two parties to the “Tears of Yukal” that shook the continent last season reunite early in the LPL.
The key lineup is undoubtedly the mid lane. Yukal and Rookie face off once again.
Yukal was one of the top mid laners in the league last season, securing the team’s playoffs alongside the reliable Beichuan and the surprising Hoya.
This season, however, Beichuan, the team’s main gun, has yet to regain his form. With the team stuck at the bottom of the standings, Beichuan will have to watch the Rold Cup as a spectator or guest commentator instead of a player. Just as his teammates helped him out of a tough spot last season, it’s time for Yukal to help Beichuan “find their memory” in this match.
The rookie had an MVP-worthy performance in the previous game, helping his team win. For the rookie, it’s important to keep the momentum going.
TES’s Rookie, who proved to be the embodiment of the phrase “How to play Jace well? Do it like me” in an interview during the regular season, has also performed perfectly as a laner and AD carry for JackieLove (Jace), especially in the second set of the previous game.
In a meta that may favor Rookie over Yukal, will Rookie give Yukal another tear? Game 2 will be one to watch.
Game 1, NIP-AL, is a matchup of teams that are expected to be on the outside of the playoffs.
NIP is on a two-game winning streak and will be looking for a win against AL to resume their winning streak that was broken by TES. AL, on the other hand, will be looking to snap out of their losing streak by eating TT and avoid falling into another losing streak.
The key lineup is the jungler. AL’s XiaoHao, who has been attempting to build up with an upper body focus so far. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see which line NIP Shadow, who hasn’t had much variance in his lane, will choose as his ‘base of growth’. In addition to the quality of the junglers, the game will be decided by the quality of the mid laners on both sides to help.
