2/6 League of Legends LCS Breakdown
Welcome to my 2/6 League of Legends LCS Breakdown where I will be looking forward to this slate after the green we hit yesterday with a stack of 100T, C9, and DIG along with the upset pick of FlyQuest. A good day of picks yesterday and let’s look to continue it today with these matches FLY/EG, DIG/TL, 100T/CLG, C9/TSM, and IMT/GG. Let’s get into it!!!
Evil Geniuses (-160) vs FLY (+115)
Our first match of the day, FlyQuest is coming off an upset win over TSM while EG is on a disappointing loss against 100T where they got out-scaled in a long match. Between the tournament and this first day of the split EG holds advantages in Early and late games while I believe they will be able to play through their mid and bot lane carries in Jizuke and Deftly. I cannot rule out FlyQuest as they were able to fight their way into a win yesterday even when they fell behind in map pressure and Johnsun on his Seraphine ADC pick.
Looking into stats EG leads FlyQuest in almost every statistic in the early and late games other than First Turret rates for each squad, I expect Sverksen and Jizuke to look to snowball this matchup with a gold advantage early as FlyQuest is one of the worst early game teams in the LCS. I am taking EG in a snowballed win with Jizuke, Sverksen, Deftly, and Ignar being my favorite plays.
TL (-800) vs DIG (+425)
Team Liquid was very disappointing yesterday in their loss to Immortals losing the mid-late game and not capitalizing on their early game wins. Team Liquid has one of the best early games in the LCS while DIG falters far behind them, though they are still positive at 15. Late game is also owned by Team Liquid. Dignitas was in a very close match with CLG who are a team who tends to feed in losses this split. Dignitas was able to pull out a win playing through their carries though I don’t think they will even be able to get the gold needed on to their carries in this match.
Team Liquid own the early and late games leading in almost every category once again and after a disappointment yesterday by them, though today I do not expect them to be a disappointment and actually like them for kills on today’s slate, My favorite plays are Santorin, Alphari, Tactical, and CoreJJ.
100T (-315) vs CLG (+220)
I will start out by saying this will be my favorite matchup today as 100T is one of the bloodiest teams in the LCS while CLG tends to also feed in their losses as seen yesterday against Dignitas, these teams have also met before and CLG won in a 28 kill match. 100T is the better team here so I expect them to take the match relatively easily here and it to be the Bloodiest match on the slate.
Every single stat goes in favor of 100T today as they are a by far superior early and late game team with better carries like Clozer and FBI. This meta favors strong Junglers and ADC’s, which is exactly where 100T thrives and they should stomp today in an Absolute smash spot on this slate. Favorite plays are FBI, Clozer, Damonte, and Huhi.
C9 (-200) vs TSM (+145)
These two have played before and it was a win for TSM, this was an upset pick on that day and it will not be again today. TSM had another draft throw yesterday vs FLY and I see it happening again. Bjergsen has been struggling with the drafting for his team and C9 has had great drafts and will win here through their jungle difference aswell with Blabber being better than Spica. C9 has the ability to play through Blabber and Zven which are the two most important carry positions.
C9 controls the early game while it tends to lead towards TSM late game having the advantage with better Baron numbers. TSM will have a shot today if they are able to execute their team comps. I believe C9 wins as they also have their most priced asset in the mid lane, I hope he is actually able to live up to the contract given to him and is able to start carrying these matches. Favorite plays are Blabber, Perkz, Zven, and Vulcan.
Immortals (-135) vs GG (+100)
Immortals was able to pull off the massive upset yesterday against TL while GG fell against C9 in a slower paced match. Both of these teams are near the lower tier of the LCS and will be subject to their slower play styles causing this to be a lower kill matchup that I am not too fond of tonight. I believe this upset yesterday will cause many to play IMT though I will be full fading them and shooting for GG an my upset pick here.
GG has lead Immortals in almost every stat in the early game while these teams are even in late game with the Baron #’s being similar. GG’s had a lot of offseason change with most of their roster going over to 100T. I believe this new team will be able to capitalize on the deficiencies of IMT and take this upset victory today, mostly like this as my small stack though to fill with 100T as my main stack.
Summary
Here is the summary of our 2/6 League of Legends LCS Breakdown where I will be taking EG, TL, 100T, C9, and GG. My favorite 4 stacks today will be coming from 100T as they are the highest upside spot on the slate while I like to have GG to be able to help with Value.
