On April 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM CET, ThunderTalk Gaming will face Team WE as part of the group stage of LPL Split 2 2025. The match will be in a Bo3 format at the LAN stage Ascend. Below is our prediction for the upcoming series.
Current Team Form
ThunderTalk Gaming
ThunderTalk Gaming finished the group stage in second place in Group B, winning 3 out of 6 matches. Despite inconsistent play, the team has shown the ability to adapt during the series and challenge even stronger opponents. In the Ascend stage, TT Gaming secured 2 wins but suffered 5 losses, reflecting their instability and the need to improve team chemistry. However, it's worth noting that even in lost matches, ThunderTalk occasionally displayed quality laning and good early-stage plays.
Team WE
Team WE started in third place in Group A and had to fight through the play-ins to reach Ascend. Despite successfully qualifying, the main stage has been extremely unfortunate for the team—they lost all 5 matches in a row. The main issues for Team WE lie in a lack of stability in drafts and insufficient synergy between lanes. In recent games, they often lose initiative from the start and cannot recover during the match, even when holding a gold advantage or map control.
Match Prediction
Considering the current performance, ThunderTalk Gaming appears to be the favorite in this matchup. Although their results in Ascend are far from perfect, they show a much more cohesive and structured game compared to Team WE. TT has the potential to set the pace right from the start and capitalize on the opponent's mistakes in the mid-game.
On the other hand, Team WE, judging by recent matches, seems to be searching for their game and have yet to find effective combinations and comfortable drafts. Breaking their losing streak will be extremely challenging, especially against a team capable of punishing the slightest errors.
Prediction: ThunderTalk Gaming wins 2:0
