2/5 League of Legends LEC Breakdown
Welcome to my 2/5 League of Legends LEC Breakdown, last week we had the slate upended by upsets and even having G2 take their first loss of the year. Today we have another heavy favorite slate and I will be looking to possibly snag an upset today for you guys so we can come out on top.
Rogue (-260) vs Schalke 04 (+185)
Our first match of the day starts off with our last undefeated team in the LEC facing off against the first team to pull off a major upset this split against G2 last week although I do not expect them to pull it off again this week as Rogue are the more dominant team in terms of overall map control being up on average 3k gold at 15 minutes. The only thing that may scare me off Rogue today is their upside as Schalke tends not to die much in losses this split. I do not think Rogue will be upset here as their play style is methodical compared to what G2 does in run and gun. Favorite plays are Hans sama, Larrsen, Inspired and Trymbi.
MSF (-170) vs XL (+125)
Misfits was one of those teams last week that were killer with the upsets as they fell hard to vitality, they have an easier matchup this week with XL who really only have one win con. XL is a team who doesn’t fight much and plays to scale up their ADC Patrik who will be their way to win today. Misfits plays a more scrappy style though they have multiple win cons as we have seen in their past matches with Razork, HiRit, and Kobbe all being able to carry games thus far. This will be a closer match than most may expect and I believe there is a strong chance XL pull off the upset and if they do they will be one of the highest scorers on the slate. I would play both sides in multiple lines but if only running one and want an upset would go with XL, they have the upside tonight. Favorite plays are Xryze, Czekload, Patrik, and Tore.
G2 Esports (-650) vs Vitality (+375)
Nice, a G2 match. I once again see everyone trying to full jam in G2 today as they should with it being G2 and their scrappy style leading them to wins. Vitality is a team I would say is the antithesis of their style as they tend to be more objective focused trying to scale through their ADC in Comp. Recently though they have shown the propensity to fight and that plays into G2’s plans as they are the best scrapping team in the LEC. I will give a slight chance to Vitality for the upset here but I do not see it happening today as G2 should overpower them on the rift. Favorite G2 plays are Wunder, Jankos, Caps, Rekkles, and Mikyx.
Mad Lions (-250) vs SK (+180)
This is another match with a favorite everyone expects to win, though today I am looking away from Mad Lions all together as this will be a spot to fade the favorite and only play the dog if you are looking to touch this match. Mad Lions is another one of those teams that thrives into a team that wants to fight as they are always willing to and win a majority of their games through being able to fight. We saw it last week with Fnatic though with the style of this SK team I do expect them to struggle mightily and I can see SK taking the win here in a bloody win to as Mad Lions tend to int in losses and throw themselves into their opponent. Favorite plays are Jezu, Blue, Tynx, and Jenax.
Fnatic (-500) vs Astralis (+325)
Welcome to the last match of our 2/5 League of Legends LEC Breakdown and the one with the largest gap here. This will be the safest match on the slate today as Astralis is the worst team in the LEC and I believe Fnatic will also be the highest-scoring team on the slate today and where my gpp and cash 4 stacks will come from Fnatic and my favorite plays from them are the whole roster Today.
Summary
Welcome to the summary of our 2/5 League of Legends LEC Breakdown where I believe SK, XL, Rogue, G2, and Fnatic to win with Fnatic being the highest scorer on the slate in a win today.
