After Friday Night League, the NA LCS moves into it's regularly scheduled Saturday time slot that we're all accustomed to. This split, however, marks the dual stream format with two series going on at one time.Looking at Saturday's NA LCS slate, Immortals, Echo Fox, and Team Liquid go into the day as heavy favorites while Apex look to be the closest underdog in their match against NRG. Cloud 9 present contrarian upside as I doubt many people will play them vs. Immortals, while nV has a tough hill to climb against Team Liquid but could shock the NA LCS again after last nights victory against NRG.

Top Lane: Huni (IMT vs. C9, $7,800):

Huni is always the top dog in the top lane when he's on the slate. Cloud 9 should present a good challenge for Immortals on Saturday, but there's no other top laner with Huni's upside. I also like KFO at $7,600 in what should be an easy matchup against Phoenix1.

Jungle: Shrimp (APX vs. NRG, $6,900)

If you aren't paying up for Reignover then I'd suggest looking for a cheap option in the jungle today. Shrimp has shown an aggressive style at times and Apex could be in line to upset NRG today. Reignover is the best jungler on the board, but I don't feel comfortable using Hard, Moon, or Santorin, making Shrimp a high upside punt play.

Middle Lane: Fenix (TL vs. nV, $8,000):

Fenix has a decent matchup against Ninja, but if Team Liquid win this game it's through their bot lane and Fenix. Froggen is a nice play at the top in an easier matchup, but Fenix has the higher ceiling at a cheaper price.

ADC: Piglet (TL vs. nV, $8,100)

Again I think Keith and WildTurtle are good plays here, but Piglet also possesses a high ceiling. Team Liquid's biggest advantage comes in the bottom lane against nV and I'd look for them to play through Piglet in order to win. He's coming off of a great split as the main carry for TL and should be primed for a big series.

Support: Matt (TL vs. nV, $7,300)
Like I said above, I expect Team Liquid to win through their bot lane advantage today. Matt and Piglet finished the Spring split on fire and I see no reason why that shouldn't continue today. AlphaDraft's pricing allows you to pay up a bit for a support and not feel too bad about it.

Team: Echo Fox vs. Phoenix1 ($3,900)

This is the best matchup of the day despite what the odds suggest. I'd be a shock if Echo Fox don't take an easy 2-0 sweep in this series.
