2/25 LCK/LPL League of Legends Breakdown
Welcome to my 2/25 LCK/LPL League of Legends Breakdown where we finally are getting back to having 4 game slates and I will be looking to give you the edge on today’s slate. Last night we should have once again hit as everything was super chalky with easy wins coming from RA and WE. Tonight on our 4 game slate we have T1/NS, DWG/LSB, OMG/V5, and RNG/RW. Let’s look to dig into these matches for you tonight!!!
T1 (-285) vs NS (+205)
Our first match of the night and thank god it is so we will have the starting lineups tonight for T1. If they stick with who I believe, Zeus, Oner, Clozer, Teddy, and Keria. I would still recommend staying up to peep the starting lineups though. NS has been a faltering team recently though that does not mean they have necessarily been scoring poorly, outscoring their opponent in a recent loss. The matchup here is distinctly in favor of T1 as they are the more talented team all around the board and if they do decide to keep with their starting lineup I can only see them winning today. Stats are all in favor of T1 as they tend to roll in the early game and have problems closing out their games. I am taking a 2-0 here for T1 though would only recommend them as your small stack as the kill upside is not here in this matchup. STAY UP FOR LINEUPS IF USING THEM!!!
DWG (-1400) vs LSB (+700)
Another match that is looking like a stomp today with a 2-0 being very much in the cards here. The last time these two teams matched up it was a dominant 2-0 for DWG and I expect them to do it again with ease, the new ADC for LSB shouldn’t make too much of a difference in this matchup. I will say once again I do not like this match for upside, due to it being the LCK and DWG being paced down this split. Stats are once again all in favor of our favorite here giving a distinct advantage over to DWG and the main play I can recommend is taking DWG team as they should put up another dominant performance.
V5 (-250) vs OMG (+185)
Our first LPL matchup of the night and where I am looking to take some stacks tonight as V5 is priced way down tonight compared to where they have been recently. V5 is starting Trigger tonight which is honestly a bit worrisome as if they do drop a game I believe he will be subbed out for the second game. I am looking for V5 to take a win here playing through their jungle in Weiwei and mid-lane with Mole. I will not completely overlook OMG tonight as I believe Eric may be able to carry again along with Aki as they were able to get them ahead early in a win over BLG. Looking into stats, V5 expectedly lead in the early game except for first blood while V5 retakes the lead in most other categories except for Drake takes. I am taking V5 to win here in a 2-1 and do expect this to be a bloodier match.
RNG (-1200) vs RW (+650)
Our last match of the night and where I am looking to take my full stacks from as this will be the bloodiest matchup on the slate. I will say that you can’t really look too deep into the stats with Betty returning for RW and him looking to return to carry this squad especially with his revenge narrative against his old team in RNG. Though that revenge narrative takes a big hit as RNG has been one of the best teams in the LPL and with their new ADC Gala have been consistently carrying through the bot lane. Though if we are going to peak the stats here RNG leads in every category and has a massive early game advantage which they should be able to use to bury RW early and cause them to run it down giving the heavy kill advantage over to RNG. My favorite RNG plays are Gala, Cryin, Ming, and Xiahou. I love this match tonight and even though RW is finally getting their new ADC I do not expect that to change much and give the easy win over towards RNG 2-0.
Summary
T1 2-0, DWG 2-0, V5 2-1, and RNG 2-0. My favorite 4 stacks will be coming way of RNG and for upsets, I am looking towards taking OMG.
