As we head towards playoffs, there is plenty to play for in the EU LCS. A lot of teams remain in contention for a playoff spot and that makes for an exciting final two weeks. G2 and S04 are my favorites to sweep their series on the day, with the rest of the slate looking likely to be filled with draws.
Top Lane: Steve (S04 vs. ROC, $7,500)
While Steve isn't the same sort of carry top laner as others on the slate, he's too cheap in what should be an easy matchup. Steve offers more "assists-upside" than "kill-upside", but it's certainly possible he ends with double digit assists in both games.
Jungle: Trick (G2 vs. UoL, $8,200)
Trick is expensive, but offers the highest upside on the day. I'd expect G2 to sweep this series and Trick is always heavily involved in his team's kills. If you don't want to pay all the way up, Spirit and Gilius are also in good situations, but Gilius is somewhat hard to trust.
Middle Lane: Fox (S04 vs. ROC, $7,700)
Fox is also pretty cheap in what figures to be an easy matchup. He's proved over the last two splits that he's fully capable of picking up kills and ROCCAT are a team who love to die often. Perkz and Night are also in good matchups, but Fox represents the best intersection of upside and safety between the other two options.
ADC: Zven (G2 vs. UoL, $8,600)
Zven is really expensive today, but he should be worth it. He's the safest option and the best AD Carry in the EU LCS. It's hard to fit him in, but I'm not too excited about any of the other options. The next best choices are Rekkles and Kobbe, but in a series that looks likely to draw, I'm not sure who to lean towards exactly.
Support: kaSing (VIT vs. H2K, $7,000)
kaSing is pretty cheap and while I think it's risky to start players against H2K due to a potential lack of action, kaSing is worth the risk at this cheap price. Both teams play long games and that presents us with an opportunity to get kaSing to 10+ assists in both games.
Team: VIT vs. H2K ($3,500)
I think this series will be a draw, but if you know H2K, you know that there will be plenty of objectives taken by both teams. Vitality are more likely to win the series than H2K, but even in a draw they should be worth their cheap price.
