Weibo Gaming enter this match as clear favourites, and there is no questioning that. Even though they’ve emerged as one of the more volatile teams in Group Ascend, Weibo Gaming have been playing against tougher opponents and have shown much higher highs than LGD.
LGD have proven themselves as a mid-table team in Group Nirvana, which automatically places them a couple of tiers below Weibo Gaming. This significant quality gap should be very noticeable on Sunday.
- Weibo Gaming can be volatile
- LGD Gaming were serviceable in Group Nirvana
- There is a sizeable quality gap between the two teams

Weibo Gaming Are Volatile, But Strong
Weibo Gaming placed sixth in Group Ascend with a 6-8 record. They’ve had their moments during the group stage and played a few competitive games against the league’s elite teams. Notably, WBG defeated JD Gaming in the final week of play and had previously picked up wins against Ninjas in Pyjamas, Team WE, and Top Esports.
Consistency hasn’t been their strong suit, though. WBG have been one of the more volatile teams in the LPL, producing both excellent performances and a few less-than-inspiring games.
They struggled against Team WE, which is not inspiring. But then they defeated JD Gaming. Admittedly, that game should’ve ended in JDG’s favour, but they bungled it. WBG picked up the pieces on the first map and won the third, which was a 50/50.
Overall, Weibo Gaming have proven they’re capable of great things. But they’re just as likely to slip and fall.

LGD Gaming Have a Lot to Prove
LGD Gaming ended Group Nirvana in third place with a 3-2 record. This is not too inspiring, but about where you would expect LGD to finish the regular season.
While considered one of the better teams in the lower division, LGD Gaming are still a tier below EDward Gaming and LNG Esports. And by default, well below any Group Ascend team but Team WE, who’ve been struggling a lot this split.
As a middle-of-the-pack team in Group Nirvana, LGD Gaming’s expectations for Knights Rivals are very low – especially considering they got swept by LNG Esports and barely made it past TT Gaming in the final two games of the group stage.

Verdict
LGD Gaming have a pulse, and they even took a map off LNG Esports earlier this season. However, they looked mediocre at best and were in a lower-division group, so it is hard to feel optimistic about LGD and their chances of doing serious damage to Weibo Gaming.
Weibo Gaming are not the most consistent team, and it would not be shocking to see them slip. But the quality difference here is too big to ignore.
