3/31 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown
Welcome back to my 3/31 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown. We are now in playoffs for both leagues so expect tough matches in the coming days. Tonight we have a 2 day, 3 game slate between T1/DRX, HLE/NS, and IG/RA. Let’s dig into this slate
T1 (-750) vs DRX (+450)
Our first match of the playoffs and the first best of 5 series we have and I am looking to full send T1 here as they have been consistently playing their OG lineup with Canna, Cuzz, Faker, Teddy, and Keria. That is the best lineup they have and I am happy they are sticking with it consistently now. DRX is a middling team this split after losing their 3 main players in Chovy, Deft, and Keria. I expect them to put up a fight and possibly even take a game here but just as the last match between these two teams went I would take T1 to sweep here tonight. Faker is going to crush Solka tonight and it won’t be close. I like T1 for cash/gpp.
HLE (-550) vs NS (+325)
The second LCK match of the slate and one that has the ability to put out the kills in a win for HLE with the tendencies of NS in losses to feed the enemy team and int hard. Last time these two teams faced off HLE won 2-0 with a 32 kill series. Stats here give the advantages over the HLE and I expect them to continue with the key matchup that might be able to turn this series is Peanut vs YoHan. If Yohan doesn’t let Peanut get far ahead then it will be a set series and an easy 3-1 for HLE. I like HLE for cash games tonight but I do not like using them for GPP as their upside might be capped. HLE to win 3-1.
IG (-140) vs RA (+110)
Our last match over the two days and I expect this to be the highest scoring game on the slate. Big problem here is that we have absolutely no idea who is going to start at ADC for IG as they went back to Wink last match they had leaving it up to use to try to decide if that is going to be the switch come playoffs or it is going to be Puff to come back into the fray. Last time these teams faced off RA was able to pull of a 2-0 and it led to them putting up 32 kills for the win. I expect this to be a very close match and to possibly go all 5 games. I expect this to be a hedge spot tonight.
