2/12 LEC League of Legends Breakdown
Welcome to my 2/12 LEC League of Legends Breakdown where I will be diving in to give you the best possible plays on today’s slate to hit some green. Last week we got crushed by an 0-2 weekend for G2. Today we are back with another 5 games including FCS/AST, VIT/XL, G2/MSF, ML/RGE, FNC/SK. Now let’s dive into our 2/12 LEC League of Legends Breakdown.
Schalke 04 (-375) vs Astralis (+250)
Our first match today and I believe it will be the safest on the slate as these two teams have been moving in opposite directions and giving the distinct advantage over to FCS. They have been playing out of their mind recently with wins coming over G2 and Rogue, two teams that are considered the best in the league. Astralis just picked up a new mid laner in Magifelix and I am personally excited to watch him play today as I believe he has deserved a spot in this league for a while now. Too bad that it has to come against FCS and Abbedage.
Diving into the stats FCS has a notable advantage all over the board as they are flat out one of the best teams in the league which they keep on showing week in and week out. I also like their upside today as Astralis likes to fight even when they are down, which they usually are. My favorite plays today on the side of FCS are Gilius, Abbedage, Neon, and Limit. I would consider taking them as my 4 stack today but definitely want some pieces from them especially over on FD.
XL (-140) vs VIT (+100)
Vitality has made a recent pickup in grabbing Crownshot to replace Comp in their lineup which is a noticeable upgrade. They do have to face a team on their own upswing though with XL picking up some wins recently playing through their main carry in Patrik who I expect to be able to carry this match for the side of XL. I don’t know how much I can support Vitality with their lack of continuity with a new ADC playing today.
This is another match for XL where they are severely beat in the early game being 1400 gold down from Vitality but as with most other teams their late game is miles ahead as they reach the late game. Drakes and Barons go over to XL as they own the late game and if they are able to get some early gold onto Patrik I expect this match to be over quickly.
G2 (-450) vs MSF (+290)
This is one of the highest upside matches on the slate as it is between two hyper-aggressive teams in G2 and Misfits. G2 loves to fight at all parts of the match while Misfits will fight even if they are down in the game, something that tends to lead to a lot of kills for G2. Coming off an 0-2 week there is a chance that G2 ownership may be depressed but it is something I would doubt as they are always the most popular team in the LEC due to their name recognition.
G2 leads here in most categories and I believe G2 is also notably ahead in all positions on the map with the only close spot being supported but Rekkles over Kobbe widens the gap and then some by a wide margin. G2 is very much in play today as one of the best options on the slate and I would take Jankos, Caps, Rekkles, Mikyx.
Rogue (-220) vs Mad Lions (+155)
This will be one of the best matches on the slate for upside as I believe Rogue will be one of the highest-scoring teams on the slate in a win as Mad Lions likes to feed in a loss and not stop fighting. Rogue is also one of the best teams in the LEC with their only loss coming at the hands of FCS. Mad Lions have looked off this year and a team not near what they were like last year with Santorin. Rogue has looked the same as always with Hans Sama looking even better as their carry.
Rogue as I expected control in this match in both the early and late games, they have the better macro and team fighting, I can see Mad having a chance here if they are able to go for fights early and win those but overall it is in favor of Rogue. My favorite plays today are Larrsen, Inspires, Hans Sama, and Trymbi.
Fnatic (-265) vs SK (+185)
Our last match of this 2/12 LEC League of Legends Breakdown and whenever Fnatic plays it is going to be a pace up spot as they are the highest paced team in the LEC. SK on the other hand is a much slower paced team and I believe they will use this to counteract Fnatic and force them to play their style of match, which I believe is the best way to combat these teams that always want to fight. I believe SK has a slight chance here but it ultimately goes over to the side of FNC.
This match is one where Fnatic is the other team and the only things that are able to bite them in the but are their over aggression and them not being able to play their main style of LOL. I am taking FNC here but I am not too fond of them in a win. Favorite plays are Bwipo and SelfMade.
Summary
Welcome to the summary of our 2/12 LEC League of Legends Breakdown and I believe the matches today will go in favor of FCS, XL, G2, RGE, and FNC. Favorite matches to target are RGE, FCS, XL.
