FunPlus Phoenix showed some signs of life last week when they defeated EDward Gaming, but they still have a long way to go. FPX are a very good team, as already displayed during LPL 2024 Spring, and while potential doesn’t matter until we see something, they head into the main stage of the season as a squad with huge upside.
ThunderTalk Gaming swept EDward Gaming on Monday, but the final result doesn’t paint a full picture, as EDG should’ve won the first map. The second map was much more one-sided, but ThunderTalk didn’t show much throughout the whole series.
FunPlus Phoenix are still a bit shaky and they’ve produced a few sloppy maps across the five series played. But they defeated ThunderTalk in the first week, and if FPX can show the same level of performance they did against JD Gaming on Monday, a 2-0 sweep is possible.

As one of the league’s strongest teams, JD Gaming should be expected to take care of business on Friday and sweep EDward Gaming. But that doesn’t mean they’re a good bet.
EDward Gaming are not as weak as they seem. Their performance numbers are very solid, and they know how to navigate the mid-late game. But EDG also tend to coin-flip important fights, which introduces some unnecessary variance and explains their recent results.
JD Gaming are the superior squad by all metrics; however, they don’t need the win, so it’s possible we will see them try out some new things. Whether that’ll be enough for EDward Gaming to take a bite out of JDG remains to be seen, but we like the underdogs to keep their map pick close.
