Victory Five vs Team WE: V5 can only count on a miracle

On Wednesday, June 16, the next LPL Summer 2021 group stage match will take place between Victory Five and Team WE. Will the V5 surprise us?

LPL Summer 2021 is a professional Chinese cybersports league for League of Legends. Held for the ninth time in its history, the summer part of the tournament included competitions among The top 10 teams that will advance to the playoffs, where the prize money ($656,383) and the right to represent the region at the World Championship 2021 will be awarded.

VF appeared in the elite division of the Chinese LoL scene in 2019. The team did not show high results and floundered somewhere at the bottom of the standings for three seasons in a row, not even qualifying for the majors.

But that all changed in the summer of 2020, when suddenly the Victory Five guys were in fifth place in the standings of the latest Chinese championship. From last place in the spring of 2020, when the team lost all 16 games, in the summer of 2020, the V5 were already shooting up and were among the five strongest teams in their region.

The spring of 2021 was a failure for the V5 squad. They got off to a strong start, but as time went on, their position in the top five changed to a position well outside the playoffs. From last summer's 5th place finish, the Spring 2021 team finished in 12th place.

The bosses of the organization were very disappointed with the players and conducted a mass purge in May. LANGX left the team and moved to TT, midfielder Mole moved to Team WE, Uniboy joined LGD Gaming, Weiwei and ppgod moved to Bilibili Gaming.

Right now, the team has young players who can only count on a miracle this summer season.

Team WE were once one of the strongest teams in China. Winning the LPL Spring 2017, bronze at the Mid-Season Invitational 2017 and World Championship 2017, but as often happens, after big victories, if an organization doesn't have a lot of money, the best players leave the team and the team's results plummet. That's what happened to Team WE, but it looks like it's time to regain some of that lost glory.

The spring of 2021 did not end as planned for the team. Yes, the guys made the playoffs, but they lost without a chance in the first round to Suning (0-3), which was a big surprise.

The only change in the squad is the arrival of midfielder Mole, just from the V5 team. So far the start of the summer tournament is going well for the guys, they have two wins in two meetings held. Suning (2-1) and ThunderTalk Gaming (2-0) were defeated.

• On the first map, we can expect a smash on kills from Victory Five with a handicap of -9.5 at odds of 2.00.
• That said, we believe that the winner of the match will be Victory Five at odds of 8.50.
• We can say that Total Maps Played will be over 2.5 with odds of 3.50.
