FPX vs. Rogue at League of Legends Worlds 2021: All you need to know

Predictions

FPX is the second seed from League of Legends Pro League (LPL) and has only lost to Edward Gaming during the summer split. They have an aggressive and dominating playstyle that is very hard to play against.

The partnership between DoinB and Tian is extremely fine-tuned and only a handful of teams in the world have the quality to match that. Rogue, on the other hand, had horrible playoffs at the LEC summer split even after finishing the regular season in first place.

Rogue lost to both MAD Lions and Fnatic and barely eked out a win against Misfits. Based on their recent track record, Rogue lacks the quality to match against FPX.

Rogue seems to struggle in games where they are behind in gold and FPX as a team will aim to tighten that stranglehold. Therefore, FPX is favored to win this match without facing many issues unless Rogue pulls off an incredible upset.


Head-to-head matchup

Rogue and FPX have not faced each other in a professional League of Legends tournament yet.
