Oh My God vs. Royal Never Give Up Prediction on December 27, 2023

Match info

The League of Legends (LoL) Demacia Cup 2023 group stage is ready to begin. The regional competition, in which Chinese professional clubs and amateur teams are competing, is picking up steam. Teams compete in this offline event in Shanghai more for status than for cash. However, that doesn’t change the fact that some of the best teams in the region, such as Oh My God and Royal Never Give Up, are present. Their match-up is set for Wednesday, December 27, at 2 p.m. local time.

Meeting statistics

Both teams are placed in Group B, where they’ll go face-to-face to determine who’s the stronger team. Because of this, one of Group B’s main confrontations can be referred to as the OMG vs. RNG game.

Our goal is to determine which side will be more dominant and score enough points to go to the playoffs. Let us emphasize that only one team—the group winner—will advance to the main round and that no other team in the group can equal the strength of these two sides.

The current form of Oh My God

Oh My God will be playing as the underdogs in this match according to LoL betting sites.

OMG has been regarded as a squad that has never finished at the top or bottom of the region for almost their whole existence. Their placement in the LPL Summer 2022 proves the point: they were in the top 10.

At the beginning of the 2023 season, Oh My God had a far more “intimidating“ appearance. Their first noteworthy achievement was a top-4 finish in the LPL Spring 2023. At the conclusion of the 2023 LPL Summer, OMG secured a top 8 finish. They proceeded to the second round of the main stage, the playoffs, where they were defeated 2-3 by the title club, EDward Gaming.

Oh My God not only performed at the local event NEST 2023 but also in the LPL series regional championships. In the former, they advanced to the playoffs from second place in their group despite their lackluster performance in the group round. They made it to the finals, but they were unable to defeat Royal Never Give Up.

This will be OMG’s second Demacia Cup 2023 match. They’ll take on RST, a group of streamers and retired players, basically an amateur squad, in the opening match that day.

The current form of Royal Never Give Up

Royal Never Give will start this match as a favorite. RNG captured the LPL Spring 2022 title, won the MSI 2022 championship, and advanced to the Worlds 2022, where they placed in the top 8. Yet, they got off to a bad start in the new season. Royal Never Give Up placed in the top eight of the LPL’s first regional round, the LPL Spring 2023. RNG are currently headed toward a reenactment of the past six months. In order to avoid placing in the top 8, they must take action and enhance their rankings performance.

During the group stage of the LPL Summer 2023, Royal Never Give Up placed seventh. They now need to play extra matches because they were one spot away from making it to the main stage’s second round. RNG was the favorite versus NiP in the first round of the LPL Summer 2023 play-offs, however they were defeated 1-3. Consequently, the top 10 was their ranking in the competition.

It seems that the utter failure of the previous season had an impact on Royal Never Give Up’s attitude in the current one. They took the participation at NEST 2023 very seriously and went 3-0 in the group stage. RNG carried on their victorious march into the playoffs, which ultimately led to them winning this regional tournament.

Head-to-head encounters

The teams have faced off against one another in the past. They played each other at NEST 2023 after meeting twice in the 2023 LPL. OMG won just once, in the LPL Summer 2023.

Match analytics

In this Bo1 match, anything may happen. The teams are nearly equal in strength, so we don’t doubt that they’ll play hard in a face-to-face encounter. Regarding the victor, Royal Never Give Up will earn this recognition at the end of the match, in our opinion. Due to the presence of three players who’ll compete in the upcoming LPL season, the lineup of the “Kings“ appears more serious.

Bottom line: RNG will win the duel, the market for which Bet365 set odds of 1.57.
