LCS Spring Preview – FLY vs TL on Day 1
FlyQuest had been the largest winners of the offseason, choosing up the 2 Korean imports VicLa and Prince as their beginning mid laner and ADC. Each of them come from a extremely sturdy 2022 season, particularly Prince who was thought-about a prime 4 ADC final yr and virtually carried Liiv SANDBOX to Worlds.
Along with veterans prime laner Affect and jungler Spica, in addition to youthful skills like Eyla and Winsome, FLY have gotten a formidable roster on their palms. So long as they handle to discover a appropriate id, they’ll be capable to ship.
Contemplating the gamers’ particular person expertise, it’s extra doubtless that FLY will wish to mess around their mid and bot lane, leaving Affect on weak facet. Spica could be each a carry and or a bridge so he must be the one adapting essentially the most relying on the draft. That stated, with the present meta, there’s additionally a slim likelihood that we don’t see this taking place, particularly if Spica needs to be a main carry for the workforce.
However, Group Liquid have put collectively a workforce filled with gamers with Korean origins, and on prime of that, they employed former T1 prime lane legend Marin. Summit, Pyosik, Haeri, Yeon, and CoreJJ is a extremely stable roster with insane potential, particularly if the 2 rookie mid and ADC can step up this yr.
That stated, to see that full potential we’d have to attend some extra time since it is going to be more durable in comparison with FLY to determine how the workforce ought to play. Theoretically, Summit prefers enjoying extra damage-oriented stuff so we’d see TL initially attempt to play with top-jungle as principal carries so it would come all the way down to which workforce can exploit their sturdy facet of the map extra.
Total, we expect FLY is initially in a greater place as a result of enjoying for bot facet is far simpler to execute in comparison with prime lane. Additionally, Affect is understood for taking part in weak facet so he ought to make certain he doesn’t get punished as onerous. Having stated that, what we must be taking note of is how the 2 groups play and whether or not they can pull off their very own concepts: within the double round-robin, that’s what is going to make the distinction in the long term.
Predicition: FLY 55% | TL 45%
