This game is a display of contrasts: on one side are Solary, who could well be out of contention for the playoffs if they lose to Team BDS Academy before they come into this one, or could be hanging on by the skins of their teeth. They do not have too much room to muck about or experiment at this stage – every result is a giant step towards what their final outcome will be.
Solary vs LDLC OL Match Prediction
On the other hand are LDLC OL, who are likely to retain their 100% win rate when they come into this game after facing the worst team of the season so far, Mirage Elyandra, before they take on Solary. Their position is a lot more fortified – there are no existential issues in terms of whether they’ll still be in the tournament later on. Their results so far have put that beyond doubt. They also have little to lose in that regard, because they’ve won so much that even three losses added to their results won’t shake them too much. It’s an enviable place to be in and one that allows three paths – experiment a Plan B, take it down a notch to preserve their energies, or go all out as the best team in the tournament so far.
Solary have a lot of climbing to do
This will arguably be Solary’s most important week as we head towards the business end of the tournament. They will be clashing against Team BDS Academy, which will be the last opportunity they get to directly affect BDSA on the table, where the two teams are currently neck and neck.
They will need something of a miracle against LDLC in this fixture though. Given that they have the second worst deaths/game rate in the season so far – 15.5 – and also the worst gold per minute metrics at 1648, all signs point to the fact that they simply haven’t been a well-rounded outfit. They will need to summon more than just team cohesion at this point. It’s gotten to the point where they will need stand-out performances, even if individually, in almost every game from here on.
LDLC OL have little to worry about
They’ve always been a good team, and LDLC OL haven’t let anyone forget that so far. Perhaps the one metric they’ll be a little concerned about will be theri first blood rating, which currently sits at 54.5% and signifies that they’re not too fussed about absolutely rattling their opponents at the start. A first tower rate of 63.6% backs this up as well; but those metrics in isolation can be misleading. On every other possible count – most importantly, on the wins count – LDLC OL have created their own little bubble on top of the table. We don’t see any teams giving them grief until the round robin stage is done.
Solary vs LDLC OL Betting Prediction
LDLC OL might have to be vigilant occasionally against a cornered team like Solary, but have enough heft to walk this one home.
