On April 14, 2025, at 13:00 CET, as part of the Ascend stage of the LPL Split 2 2025 group stage, teams JD Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix will face off. The match will be held in a Bo3 format on the LAN stage. Below is an analysis of the current form of the teams and a prediction for the upcoming match.
Current Form of the Teams
JD Gaming
JD Gaming confidently finished the group stage, securing second place in Group D with a 4-2 record. In the Ascend stage, the team is showing stable and high-quality gameplay, achieving three convincing victories with a score of 2:0. JD appears well-coordinated, with well-thought-out drafts and confidently capitalizes on their advantages on the map.
FunPlus Phoenix
FunPlus Phoenix advanced to Ascend through the play-ins, finishing third in their group. The start in the main phase was very unsuccessful—four consecutive losses. However, in the last match, FPX unexpectedly defeated Weibo Gaming with a score of 2:0, which was a pleasant surprise for their fans. Nevertheless, considering Weibo's instability, drawing far-reaching conclusions from this victory is premature.
Match Prediction
JD Gaming approaches the match in excellent form—their winning streak in Ascend indicates serious ambitions and excellent preparation. Although FPX showed signs of life in the last match, their overall momentum remains weak, and a victory over the unstable Weibo Gaming does not guarantee repeated success against JD.
Prediction: JD Gaming wins 2:0
