3/2 LPL League of Legends Breakdown
Welcome to my 3/2 LPL League of Legends Breakdown. Last night if you were able to hedge the JDG/FPX match then you had a good night. Tonight we have two matches in SN/TT and IG/BLG, I believe both of these matches are going to be very close and 2-1 series. Now let’s dig into these matches and see if we can find something to give us the edge.
Suning (-600) vs TT (+400)
Our first match of the night is going to be a close one. We have a Suning team coming off a 2-0 of our favorite IG team where it was hard to tell if they looked dominant or were fed the win by a throwing IG team. TT has been better recently, taking games off of recent opponents such as JDG and RA. Suning have been off so far this split and I expect that has a chance to continue today. Let’s dig into the stats to see if anything is telling.
Looking into stats we see SN having the slightly better early game with a first blood and gold difference at 15. Statistics like Drakes and Baron go in favor of TT surprisingly, giving insight to how truly bad SN has been so far this split. I believe the main thing setting this apart is the talent gap that SN has over the map. Bin is a better top laner, SofM is even in the jungle with Xiaopeng, Mid goes the way of SN with Angel and ADC goes heavily towards SN with Huenfeng over SamD. Support evens it back out with Teen and ON being on the same level. I am taking SN to win this but low kills and 2-1 win for SN, not against TT but can not see this being the optimal 4 stack tonight.
IG (-360) vs BLG (+255)
IG came out and laid an egg against SN last time out after sweeping EDG 2-0 while BLG has had a week off after losing to EDG 0-2. I really like this match for my 4 stacks tonight and expect it to have the highest upside on the slate as both teams average over 19 deaths per loss. IG has the chart going where they pull off a massive upset then lose an easy match. The flow chart says they should win today as it is a close one. BLG is a team that counters IG’s style of play and mainly their jungler as XUN has struggled with pressure junglers while BLG’s Meteor is the pressure jungler above them all.
Diving into stats IG and BLG are very close in the early game being within 150 gold at 15 minutes while as the game goes on IG holds the advantages in the main objectives in Drakes and Baron takes. If looking through the position matchups it is even top lane if TheShy decides not to int the matches away. Jungle goes the way of BLG as Meteor is one of the best in the LPL and is one of the carries for this squad. Mid lane goes to IG as it is Rookie. Bot lane is to IG as Puff is back and has been playing very well recently. I am taking a 2-1 win here for IG in a very bloody matchup but there is absolutely nothing wrong with playing both sides here as I WILL BE HEDGING.
Summary
SN 2-1, IG 2-1. I can see all four teams winning here tonight as I believe it is a GPP only night, I will say take your 4 stacks from the second match no matter what as it will be the bloodier one no matter the result. If there was a team that I would cross out from my pool it would be TT but just barely.
