Recently, the first match of the Quarterfinals at the World Championship (Worlds) 2023 officially kicked off. Accordingly, Weibo Gaming had no trouble finishing the match against NRG, effectively wiping out all Western teams from the Worlds 2023. This was something that could have been predicted beforehand, as WBG could even challenge the top championship contender, JD Gaming, let alone NRG, which is clearly at a significant skill disadvantage.
Of course, being only in the Quarterfinals makes it difficult to determine which team could take the championship. Even the powerful T1 could lose in the most crucial deciding match against DRX. However, many fans have their own opinions. Recently, a netizen drew attention by publishing AI’s prediction results for Worlds 2023, causing the audience to LoL fans to “burst out laughing” at the humor of the AI and how outdated its information was.
Specifically, the 5 teams chosen by the AI for the championship included T1, Dplus KIA, G2 Esports, LNG Esports, and Fnatic. Notably, the AI first mistakenly identified DK’s region as LPL. Furthermore, 3 out of the 5 names selected by the AI have already been eliminated, including DK, FNC, and G2. This indicates that the AI’s data is indeed significantly outdated, as fans started using AI on November 2 – several days after the final match of the Swiss round concluded.
Moreover, the AI also suggested that T1 – LNG could be the championship-deciding match. This isn’t necessarily incorrect if one of those two teams can reach the finals and lift the trophy. However, regardless of which name it is, JD Gaming/KT Rolster, two other formidable representatives in this year’s Worlds, are waiting in the Semifinals.
Clearly, in certain fields, artificial intelligence hasn’t proven to be particularly useful, if not providing misleading information. In a volatile game like LoL, all statistics are almost only for reference, and the match will ultimately be determined by a moment of genius from the players.
