GAMES (EDT)
- 5:00 a.m: Royal Never Give Up v. LNG Esports
- 7:00 a.m: FunPlus Phoenix v. Bilibili Gaming
RNG vs. LNG
LNG looked good against FPX, but they definitely got real lucky. Khan wasn't good, DoinB didn't help the team at all by pinging and missing pings from his teammates. RNG is looking really good as this meta suits XLB very well with graves, nidalee, olaf and in a meta where the jungle position matters a lot RNG should take this game with ease. Ming has been playing out of his mind as well and as much as I doubted the bottom lane they came out by baiting VG bot lane to hand over kills. RNG are firing on all cylinders and LNG isn't a team to change RNG playstyle.
Prediction: RNG 2-0
RNG players to Target: XLB ($6,800), Betty ($7,600), Ming ($6,000)
FPX vs. BLG
This is going to be a reoccurring thing until a BLG roster change, but if they aren't starting Meteor then I will never pick them to win. They are benching their best player, and Wing didn't show anything spectacular. In a role that ADC players need to farm and try to carry late game, he seems too passive in a league where team fighting is important. FPX are coming off their worst game, as Khan didn't look good, DoinB was missing pings and LWX wasn't involved in any team fights. I have to believe it was because of the team they played and the

FPX are coming off their worst game, as Khan didn't look good, DoinB was missing pings and LWX wasn't involved in any team fights. I have to believe it was because of the team they played and the LNG comp looked superior compared to FPX. This is a good bounce-back spot after getting embarrassed, and they should handle BLG.
Prediction: FPX 2-0
FPX Players to Target: Everyone
