After a dominant performance in the first few games of the World Championship, the Gen.G players are the favorites for the tournament. During the Swiss, many have noticed one player in particular: Chovy. The 22-year-old phenom became the first player in world history to qualify for the playoffs five times in a row, beating out other iconic world competitors such as T1's Faker, JD Gaming's Ruler, and LNG Esports' Scout.
At Worlds 2023, Chovy has the third-highest kill count of any midgame player despite only having played four maps, almost half as many as any of the players at the top of the leaderboard in this metric. However, if Gen.G is to kick off the playoffs with a win over Bilibili Gaming on Friday, they will need to continue to be at the top of their game in the midgame.
Bilibili Gaming
While Bilibili Gaming certainly had the potential to finish higher than third in the LPL playoffs, they had their best showing in the Chinese league this summer, losing just one game in the regular season to JDG. It was the same team that prevented them from winning the MSI 2023 trophy.
Bilibili is a slow team, but their players have struggled to cope with opponents who often play a quicker style. Despite playoff defeats to JDG and LNG, Bilibili remains within striking distance of a top-four finish at this year's World Cup, but their draw is unfortunate as they face the strongest team in the Korean league in the quarter-finals. That said, this team has many talented players and is always capable of surprising.
Expert Betting Tips
The Korean team will be one of the favorites to win, but it is Bilibili Gaming who has the experience of beating Gen.G. However, the current form of the Chinese makes their prospects of reaching this quarter-final doubtful.
