On April 8, 2025, at 12:00 EET, Top Esports will face FunPlus Phoenix in the group stage of Ascend LPL Split 2 2025. The match will be played in a Bo3 format, and below is our prediction for this match.

Current Team Form

Top Esports

Top Esports confidently advanced to the Ascend group by winning all 6 matches in the Bo1 format during the main group stage. Already in Ascend, they continued to show a high level by defeating Anyone’s Legend with a score of 2:1. The current form and synergy of the duo JackeyLove and Creme are particularly impressive—both players regularly prove to be decisive factors in the team's victories. TES exhibits strong macro play, confident drafts, and smart execution of map advantages.

FunPlus Phoenix

FunPlus Phoenix finished the group stage in third place and reached Ascend through the play-in stage, where they managed to defeat LGD Gaming and Ultra Prime. However, in the main part of the tournament, the team faces serious challenges—already two consecutive losses to Invictus Gaming and ThunderTalk Gaming, both with a score of 2:1, indicate instability. Despite good individual potential, FPX lacks team cohesion and confidence in critical moments.

Head-to-Head Matches

In the past month, Top Esports and FunPlus Phoenix met twice in the group stage. In both cases, TES emerged victorious, confidently winning the Bo1 matches with a score of 1:0. These encounters demonstrated a significant advantage for Top Esports in both drafts and strategy execution on the map.

Match Prediction

Considering the current form of the teams, head-to-head matches, and performance at the start of Ascend, Top Esports appear to be the clear favorite for the upcoming match. They display stable and confident gameplay, while FPX is still searching for their optimal form and struggling with inconsistency. If TES maintains their current level of performance, their victory seems the most likely outcome.

Prediction: Top Esports wins 2:0.
