Bilibili Gaming vs Oh My God Prediction: Expect Bilibili win in a three-map encounter

On Friday, November 18, the playoff stage of the traditional Chinese LoL preseason tournament NEST 2022 will begin, with a prize pool of $92,000. Bilibili Gaming and Oh My God will face each other in the third quarterfinal matchup. The game is scheduled to start at 14:00. 

Bilibili Gaming is a strong mid-tier team of the Chinese LoL scene. The highest place that this team took in the national championship is 4th. That was in the summer of 2019 and it was expected that the team will continue to progress, but the pandemic year of 2020 made its adjustments.

Staffing losses, the most promising players were spotted by richer and better-known LPL organizations, and accordingly, the results deteriorated significantly from 2020. Looking back to last season, Bilibili Gaming players made the playoffs in every LPL split in 2022, but left the Chinese championship extremely early. At NEST 2022 this team is seen as a contender for at least the semifinals, but judging by their play in the group it will not be easy to reach the next stage. The only team they beat was Invictus Gaming and they drew twice with Anyone's Legend and JD Gaming.

About 10 years ago OMG showed a completely different result, even participated in the world championship. In the last few years they have been relegated to the bottom of the pecking order in China, with only occasional glimmers of success in the LPL playoffs like the last LPL 2022 Summer Split.

In the 2022 Summer Split, Oh My God finished 8th in the group stage with an 8-8 statistic (8 wins - 8 losses). This Chinese team has not reached the second round of the playoffs since 2017, so the team's progress is on display. At NEST 2022, Oh My God won their group, defeating their opponents from LNG Esports and Ultra Prime. But there was also a loss from Team WE, which shows and some weakness of this team that should not go to the semifinals.

Bilibili Gaming and Oh My God should have a real battle for a place in the semifinals, but we would still give preference to Bilibili Gaming, not without giving up a map.
