Preview of MAD Lions vs Team Vitality at League of Legends LEC 2023 Spring Split Group Stage

Predictions

MAD Lions has been struggling in the League of Legends LEC 2023 Spring Split and has had a difficult time so far. Despite this, they managed to qualify for the group stage.

The main issue with MAD Lions is their limited champion pool and lack of innovation. This is particularly evident with players like Nisqy and Carzzy, who have not been able to offer enough variety in their playstyles,

Chasy in the toplane has also been good at using only one or two picks, which makes it very easy for enemy teams to target ban certain units and cripple MAD Lions.

Team Vitality, on the other hand, has had a pretty average season so far at the LEC 2023 Spring Split. Obviously, this roster is widely regarded as the best in the league on paper.

However, the team has consistently struggled to meet these expectations, leading to a lot of fans asking for more. Perkz, who is widely regarded as the greatest Western player of all time, is having trouble maintaining peak performance.

Bo, who was supposed to be the jungler that would bring the energy from the LPL to the LEC, has also failed to do so. The only consistent players on Team Vitality are Upset and Photon, who have helped the team secure multiple victories.

Despite some weaknesses, Team Vitality has proven to be a more consistent team than MAD Lions. Hence, Team Vitality is expected to grab an easy 2-0 victory in the opening game of League of Legends LEC 2023 Spring Split group stage.
