TOP Esports vs JD Gaming, 2020/08/27 - LPL Finals Review

TOP Esports

TODAY, the top two teams from last season, TOP Esports vs JD Gaming, will meet again in the final round of the season.

TOP Esports

TOP Esports, the Spring Season runners-up, are doing everything they can this season to finally win the title of league champions. After triumphing in the regular season, TOP Esports made up for their loss to JDG in last season's finals with a convincing 2:0 victory. The LPL Spring Season Finals were immediately followed by the Rift Rivals tournament, featuring the best of the LPL and LCK regional teams. In the final, TOP Esports defeated JDG 3:0. It can be said that TOP was already in better shape than JDG, and now they should prove it in the most important stage of the LPL league.

The team's main strength is its high individual skill and incredible team coordination, which allows it to win games that at first glance would seem to have virtually no chance of winning. One of the team's most experienced players and a former world champion, JackeyLove, is a great organiser, and the team's much-improved mid-lane player, Knight, has even been named the league's player of the season. Going into this final, TOP Esports is the clear favourite to win it.

JD Gaming

JD Gaming

JD Gaming players, who made an impressive comeback in the spring season against TOP Esports and won the final, will try to repeat their success in this season's final. However, it can be seen that TOP Esports is not a favourable opponent, because apart from the final series, it was TOP Esports that dominated all the matches. JD Gaming, who finished second in the regular season, played the improved LGD team in the semi-final series and won that series 3:1. However, the team's play was not as confident as it should be against a significantly weaker opponent, so the current form and strength of the team is questionable.

JD Gaming's core strengths are similar to those of TOP Esports, but unlike TOP's shining early game players, JD Gaming often focuses on the later stages of the game and takes control from the mid-game. In order to stay ahead of TOP Esports, they will have to be much more aggressive in the early stages of the game. Otherwise, unlike with weaker teams, it may be too difficult to get back into the match once TOP Esports is ahead.

TOP Esports vs JD Gaming prediction

These teams have dominated the 2020 LPL seasons and have already secured their place in the premier League of Legends tournament, Worlds 2020. Both teams have their advantages, but as of today, based on their play in the playoffs and the regular season, TOP Esports looks more capable. Moreover, the sporting anger should be on TOP Esports' side if they want to make up for their loss in last season's finals.
