TES vs AL – LPL Summer Playoffs Preview
AL has emerged as a pleasant surprise in the LPL summer split, thanks to the influence of former BLG head coach Tabe. Despite not having a star-studded roster, they managed to improve significantly from the previous split, with a convincing victory over FPX in their last match. Now, they face TES to prove their championship contention.
On the other hand, Top Esports is striving to secure their spot at Worlds 2024. Despite some bumps along the way, they have showcased a strong performance throughout the split, boasting one of the highest potentials in the LPL when at their best. Let’s delve into the key elements of this upcoming series.
Series Breakdown
Jungler Croco has been pivotal to AL’s success, adapting well to the meta and taking on a carry role effectively. Ale’s inclusion in the lineup has also bolstered the team’s potential, offering versatility in playstyle. However, facing off against Tian, the top all-pro jungler, poses a formidable challenge for Croco.
While AL may struggle in the jungle matchup, TES appears stronger in the mid and bottom lanes. JackeyLove and Creme are expected to outperform their counterparts from AL. The only area where AL could potentially excel is in the top lane, but 369 is unlikely to allow Ale to gain a significant advantage. Overall, TES holds the upper hand in this matchup.
Expect a dominant performance from TES, as they have consistently been one of the top teams throughout the season. A victory for AL would be a major upset akin to NIP’s win against JDG. Speaking of JDG, their hopes now hinge on TES as they strive to keep their Worlds aspirations alive.
