Team SoloMid are the team in the best situation today, but are they worth paying up for? Part of me says yes because they should be worth their salaries on today's slate, but using cheaper players from Immortals and Cloud9 could also payoff well for a lesser price. Immortals should sweep Apex, and Cloud9 could go three games before pulling out the win against nV. Counter Logic Gaming are probably my favorite bargain team to use today in what should be a close series against Team Liquid.
Top Lane: Huni (IMT vs. APX, $7,700)
Huni's the most expensive top laner today, but with his price under $8,000 it's not too hard to construct your lineup around him. Immortals are really clicking right now and Huni is a big reason why, as always. His carry upside is the best in the LCS and he's worth using today at his reduced price.
Jungle: Meteos (C9 vs. nV, $7,500)
Reignover is often seen as the best jungler in the NA LCS, and for good reason, but Meteos has been a poor man's version of Reignover this split. He's often involved early in his lanes, looking to get his laners ahead, and he sets up kills throughout the game for C9 in teamfights. He's assists driven, just like Reignover, and while the lofty assist total isn't the same, for $500 less he is a good bargain to keep pace with Reignover today.
Middle Lane: Jensen (C9 vs. nV, $7,800)
Bjergsen has the easier matchup, but Jensen is cheaper and could easily put up a similar stat line today. Jensen leads the LCS in kills from the mid lane and in what could be a close and bloody series, Jensen has an excellent chance to add a big number to his total today.
ADC: Sneaky (C9 vs. nV, $8,000)
Sneaky is the final part of my C9 stack today as I want exposure to their matchup against nV. Sneaky is enjoying a pretty great split for C9 as he's third in the LCS in kills and assists from the AD Carry role. In a series that should go to three game's, Sneaky is a good bet to be the top scoring AD Carry on the day. I'm also using Doublelift in my flex spot, whose price is quite high, but he should be able to pay it off against P1.
Support: Aphromoo (CLG vs. TL, $6,800)
Aphromoo is cheap today and although it's not the best matchup, he has a chance to greatly outproduce this salary. CLG are hard to trust right now, but a player of Aphro's quality can't be ignored at this cheap price. Using him allows us to pay up for some players in great situations as well.
Team: CLG vs. TL ($3,500)
Likewise, CLG as a team are also priced cheaply for use today. This series isn't the easiest, but I think at worst CLG will take this to three games while having a chance to take the series. Using CLG at this cheap price allows us to get a bunch of great carries into our lineup, while not taking on a total bust of a team.
