Our Predictions For LPL Spring 2024
Need some help making your LPL Spring 2024 outright winner bets? Here is our analysis of the top three teams competing for the League of Legends Spring regional title.
Important: These predictions reflect the perceived strength of teams based on historical trends and should not be interpreted as betting advice. Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Always gamble responsibly.
1. Bilibili Gaming
Bilibili Gaming (BLG) is the frontrunner for the LPL Spring 2024 title, and the team was strengthened by the acquisition of Knight in the mid-lane. Knight’s stats, which include a 5.4 KDA and 28.2% KS (vs. ex-BLG mid Yagao’s 4.2 KDA and 19.8% KS), give credence to him boosting BLG’s performance this year.
This move is complemented by high-caliber players like Bin, whose remarkable team play and solo proficiency were proven by his 48% KPAR and 3.1 KDA in 2023. Similarly, Xun and Elk’s hard carry potential, combined with ON’s adaptability and wide champion pool, further strengthens BLG’s roster.
While BLG will enter the 2024 season without the strategic guidance of head coach Tabe, the team’s recent triumph in the Demacia Cup 2023 is already clear evidence of their exceptional synergy. This victory, coupled with their new roster, makes BLG an undisputed powerhouse in the LPL.
Bilibili Gaming roster:
- Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin
- Peng “Xun” Li-Xun
- Zhuo “Knight” Ding
- Zhao “Elk” Jia-Hao
- Luo “ON” Wen-Jun
2. LNG Esports
LNG is another top contender for the LPL Spring 2024 title, riding high on a stellar 25-7 record despite being eliminated by T1 in the Worlds quarterfinals in 2023. But the acquisition of ex-RNG star GALA (5.1 KDA, 34.1% KS) massively strengthens LNG’s lineup and tips the odds in their favor against tough competition.
The key to LNG’s success in the 2024 Spring Split primarily centers on GALA maintaining his high-level play. This is particularly relevant when you consider the criticized decision to replace Tarzan with ex-WBG jungler Weiwei.
Nonetheless, the flex-potential for Hang and Mark in bot inspires confidence in enabling GALA to be in peak form. Beyond GALA’s role in LNG’s potential upswing at LPL 2024 Spring, Zika’s strong topside and Worlds 2021 champ Scout’s solid mid remain critical factors, especially against a formidable team like BLG.
LNG Esports roster:
- Tang “Zika” Hua-Yu
- Wei “Weiwei” Bo-Han
- Lee “Scout” Ye-chan
- Chen “GALA” Wei
- Fu “Hang” Ming-Hang
- Ling “Mark” Xu
3. JD Gaming
Hailed as a superteam in 2023, JD Gaming’s roster has been hotly debated, replacing solo laners Knight and 369 with ex-BLG mid Yagao and Sheer/Flandre, respectively. This overhaul introduces some caution for the team in the 2024 LPL Spring Split, with Flandre’s return viewed as a bold bet following a year-long hiatus and Sheer being fresh to the pro scene.
Nevertheless, JD’s lineup remains strong, with Kanavi (5.1 KDA) in the jungle and world-class ADC Ruler (6.9 KDA) in the bot lane. Beyond this, Yagao’s role as a facilitator for Kanavi’s aggressive playstyle could be a decisive factor should he have the freedom to execute game-changing plays successfully.
Under the leadership of head coach Mafa, who boasts a solid track record in the LCK and LPL, JD’s renewed lineup shows exceptional promise. However, the team’s success still hinges on the synergy of these new dynamics, positioning them as strong contenders in the China domestic league.
JD Gaming roster:
- Xu “Sheer” Wenjie
- Li “Flandre” Xuan-Jun
- Seo “Kanavi” Jin-hyeok
- Zeng “Yagao” Qi
- Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk
- Lou “MISSING” Yun-Feng
