Current form of the teams

Despite these figures, the team is on a losing streak, having lost their last five matches. Their recent encounters include losses to Top Esports, JD Gaming, ThunderTalk Gaming, Anyone’s Legend, and Ninjas in Pyjamas. This string of defeats places them in a precarious position as they head into their next match against FunPlus Phoenix.

FunPlus Phoenix, on the other hand, has been experiencing a mixed bag of results. Their recent month win rate stands at 40%, slightly edging out their half-year performance of 36%. They have managed to secure victories against Anyone’s Legend and ThunderTalk Gaming, but have also faced setbacks against JD Gaming, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Team WE. Despite these ups and downs, their head-to-head record against Weibo Gaming is favorable, which could provide a psychological edge.

Their last encounter on April 12, 2025, resulted in a convincing 2-0 victory for FunPlus Phoenix, continuing their trend of strong performances.
