Top Esports and JD Gaming rematch in week 6 of the LPL Split 2 2026. With only four to five matches left to play and the top half looking more competitive than ever, this match is crucial to secure a playoff spot. Will JDG claim their revenge, or will TES consolidate their second place?
Betting tips: The odds are dead tied, but JDG has the momentum behind them. JDG’s last five games were all against bottom half teams, but TES actually dropped a match to Weibo Gaming in the meantime.

The last match between these two teams took place four weeks ago already. Since then, the power levels in the LPL have strongly shifted.
Top Esports made a case for themselves as the best team in the league, before suddenly losing 2-0 against seventh-place WBG. Afterwards, they got their revenge, but also lost to a surging Anyone’s Legend.
As for JDG, their current level is uncertain. JD Gaming won against AL, before losing to Bilibili Gaming, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Top Esports. Since then, they’ve gone 5-0 against bottom 4 teams. This means that they’re still only 1-2 against the top 4.
In their recent games, TES was caught off guard in their lanes and early jungle pathing. JDG’s laning has historically not been their strong side, aside from Tsai “HongQ” Min-Hong’s ability to get solo kills. With TES’ latest form, this would help them get a pass.
JDG also fared well in lane in their recent matches, but that might not stand the test against the better teams. However, if TES is faltering on that side, this gives JDG room to play around their strengths.
JD Gaming is still the best LPL team when it comes to teamfighting. Additionally, Yu “JunJia” Chun-Chia is also a strong component in the roster. The less they have to fear for their laning phase, the greater their chances.
Two weeks ago, JDG also adopted a puppy as the team’s happiness manager. Unexpectedly, this is a move that might actually succeed in enhancing the roster’s morale. As it turns out, JDG was 2-3 before picking her up, and have gone 4-0 since.

JDG’s current strength really has yet to be tested. However, that of Top Esports is all over the place. Against a team like JDG who will always buy themselves more occasions back into the game should they fall behind, this isn’t a promising look. While a close match-up, JD Gaming should come out on top.
