How Will Massive Dhokes Match Up To A Comfortable Bwipo?

Two LCS behemoths will go toe-to-toe on Sunday as Niship “Dhokla” Doshi takes on Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau.

As Joshua “Jatt” Leesman talked about in his JLXP podcast, Bwipo is… comfortable. And a cheerful Bwipo is a dominant Bwipo. FlyQuests setup has allowed Bwipo to play champions he enjoys enjoying. Bwipo has by no means shied away from new tech within the high lane and was among the many first folks spamming Udyr in Champions Queue. Bwipo additionally pulled out Olaf in sport two towards Immortals, stating in an interview whereas it is not a strong counter to Aatrox, it’s a champion that scales effectively within the late-game and permits him to group struggle.

After an underwhelming exhibiting towards Cloud9, Dhokla dusted himself off and had a a lot better sport towards Dignitas. Proving North American high laners may play Jayce, Dhokla put Wealthy to the sword with a number of solo kills to display he’s nonetheless one of many high performers within the league.

Udyr for the time being is such a neusence to play towards in lane, nobody has been capable of counter it to this point. Dhokla struggled when Fudge picked up Udyr of their opening sport.

Jungle Matchup Dominates NRG vs FlyQuest

Though seeing each groups sq. off might be thrilling, seeing peak Contractz towards a returning Impressed is likely one of the greatest items the LCS may obtain to this point. Regardless of being away from the aggressive scene for a big period of time, Impressed has not missed a beat. It has been evident from the primary two video games that this FlyQuest roster will mess around Impressed. Jensen seems to be a lot better and may be capable to, at worst, maintain his personal in lane, however at greatest, constantly be up 20/30 CS on his lane opponent, permitting for Impressed to have free reign to do as he pleases, which is as a rule dominating his opponent.

Contractz continues to be the win situation for NRG. If Contractz is firing on all cylinders, there’s a good probability that NRG will win.

Marn Predicts Who Will Win: NRG or FlyQuest?

“It will be a very shut sport and may dwell as much as the match-of-the-week hype we’re promoting. I believe FlyQuest goes to edge this one, however it will be actually shut. Proper now, I’ve extra religion within the veteran trio of FlyQuest. Jensen ought to be capable to get onto a consolation choose, and an in-form Jensen should not have any drawback taking good care of Palafox in lane. Then, it involves the highest lane. I believe Bwipo may have a solution for every little thing Dhokla needs to play. This could open the map up for FlyQuest to do some actual injury. I believe additionally NRG goes to take a while to ramp up. The introduction of Huhi shouldn’t be a easy one. Huhi has been the primary shot-caller of his group for some time now, and as Palafox talked about in his interview with Travis Gafford, it’ll take a while for his model to match with the remainder of the group and mix. I believe FlyQuest wins this.”
