Gone are the days when the team was dismissed as underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bilibili Gaming has one of the <strong>best top laners in the world,<\/strong> so fans expect to see good results.

In fact, we would not be surprised if these two regions met in the Grand Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worlds 2025 Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming that the 4 Chinese teams mentioned earlier qualify for Worlds, we expect <strong>JD Gaming to perform the best<\/strong>.
