Vici Gaming (2.09) vs Royal Never Give Up (1.66) (5:00 am ET)
In the very early going of the Summer 2020 season, these two teams are near the top of the table. Royal Never Give Up has dominated this rivalry, winning seven of the eight meetings between the two teams all time. However, Vici Gaming won the last meeting, prevailing 2-0 in group play in the LPL Spring 2020 league.
Recently, Vici Gaming has won two in a row and three of five. They opened Summer 2020 group play with a sweep of Bilibili Gaming; before that, they had closed out Victory Five with a 2-0 win in Spring 2020 group play.
Royal Never Give Up also opened Summer 2020 group play strong, sweeping Oh My God. They had qualified for the LPL Spring 2020 playoffs but lost to EDward Gaming in the first round, 3-1. Given that superior record during the spring campaign and their historical dominance of Vici Gaming, I’m taking the favorites here.
- Vici Gaming vs Royal Never Give Up Final Prediction: Royal Never Give Up wins
Invictus Gaming opens their Summer 2020 group play against a Team WE side that is two matches in, splitting them both. These teams will play for the fifth time overall; both sides have won two of the prior engagements. Invictus Gaming won their last clash, in group play of LPL Spring 2020, and the last time Team WE won in this rivalry came in group play at LPL Summer 2019, last July.
Team WE opened Summer 2020 group play with a win over EDward Gaming but then fell to Suning Gaming. They had an impressive 3-1 win over eStar in the LPL Spring 2020 playoffs. Invictus Gaming moved on to the Mid-Season Cup after the Spring 2020 LPL playoffs, but they went 0-3 there, falling to DragonX, JD Gaming and Gen.G. They will be hungry for some redemption, but I’m going to go with the underdogs here, given the close record in their rivalry.
