G2 vs. MAD

We are finally back with the LEC and the first game is a treat. MAD Lions beat G2 in the first round of the Spring Split playoffs, but then got stomped later on. G2 is a team that likes to make a statement against the better teams and troll around the inferior teams, and thankfully this matchup against MAD should bring out their best. G2 is a top-3 team in the world and this is going to be a very bloody game.

Prediction: G2 Win

G2 Players to target: Everyone

VIT vs. S04

FC Schalke 04 looked real good at the end of the split as soon as Forgiven left the team while Vitality did next to nothing in the offseason. Losing Skeanz and keeping Jactroll is definitely a downgrade for this team. S04 will start Lurox in the jungle position as he was more proactive than Gillius, as well as Innex. S04 overall has the better players and better teamwork to beat Vitality.

Prediction: S04 Win

S04 Players to target: Innaxe $7,600, Lurox $6,600 

OG vs. SK

OG looked real good in the playoffs and we saw a different side from them. If they keep that same playstyle they can compete for the title. SK Gaming lost most of their players and are a last-place team in this league after a brutal offseason. This is a stay-away game from me unless you are playing cash as OG tend to play too slow to really be operable in DFS.

Prediction: OG Win

OG Players to target: Upset $8,000, Nukeduck $7,600

xL vs. Rogue

This is a close game as Excel Esports brought on Kryze and Special who have the champion pool for this meta. Rogue kept the same roster. but the problem is that Hansama has the worst champion pool for this game patch. Larssen and Hansama are real good carries but it seem like they have no sense of direction on who to play through. One game they play through mid and the next bot. xL is really good at finding a specific lane to push because of how aggressive Caedral is and this is going to force Rogue to decide what lane they want to carry through. 

Prediction: xL Win

xL Players to target: Patrik $6,400, Caedral $5,400, Tore $4,000

MSF vs. FNC

Fnatic is keeping the same roster together despite the fact they can't seem to get over a gigantic G2-sized hump. Misfits lost Bvoy, but upgraded to Kobbe. I say this is an upgrade because Team SoloMid utilized Kobbe horribly and he was never able to showcase his talent. The difference here is that Bwipo is the best top laner in this league by far. He is good at pushing the wave in, roaming to other lanes and winning teamfights for his team. If Misfits can stop bwipo they do have a chance to win, but the fact that he learned to lane better and stop throwing his life away made him a dangerous player who has the upside of some of the carries to takeover the game.

Prediction: FNC Win
