League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/13 LOL LCS Breakdown

Today we will be looking into the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/13/2020 @ 4:00 pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets for the day, correlation plays, as well as projected lineups for my top targes to make your building of a line a lot easier. Any questions about the article or tips feel free to hit me up on discord.

LoL LCS Tournament Format:

• 10 teams participate
• Double Round Robin
• Matches are best of one
• Top eight teams qualify for playoffs

LOL LCS Slate Breakdown:

Evil Geniuses (EG) (-300) vs Counter Logic Gaming (CLG)(+210).

LOL Starting Rosters: (Primary captain options will be in capital lettering)

Evil Geniuses (EG)(-300):

• (TOP) Kumo
• (JNG) Svenskeren
• (MID) JIIZUKE
• (ADC) BANG
• (SUP) Zeyzal

Counter Logic Gaming (CLG)(+210):

• (TOP) Ruin
• (JNG) Wiggily
• (MID) POBELTER
• (ADC) STIXXAY
• (SUP) Smoothie

Evil Geniuses, a very solid team overall. EG will be going against one of the LOL worst in the LCS bracket. Counter Logic Gaming finished a 3-15 overall record in the LCS standings setting their place as the worst team in the league. There is no sign of them making any change so I just don’t see Evil Geniuses losing this game. CLG possesses an overall K/D ratio of .69, the lowest of all teams in about 18 total games. Paired with that, they also have the highest deaths per game at 14.3 deaths, about 2-3 more deaths than the next max up. Evil Geniuses will be a staple to my cash games, as well as my GPP lines as I could see them destroying CLG. Very much in comparison to the game against 100Thieves. 

LOL LCS Pick to win: Evil Geniuses

FlyQuest (FLY)(-220) vs Immortals (IMT)(+160).

LOL Starting Rosters: (Primary captain options will be in capital lettering)

FlyQuest (FLY)(-220):

• (TOP) Solo
• (JNG) SANTORIN
• (MID) POWEROFEVIL
• (ADC) WILDTURTLE
• (SUP) IgNar

Immortals (IMT)(+160):

• (TOP) sOAZ
• (JNG) PotLuck
• (MID)  EIKA
• (ADC) APOLLO
• (SUP) Gate

FlyQuest is a very underrated team in my opinion who is actually very good. Obviously not to be compared to the LCS juggernaut in C9. FlyQuest can hang with the best teams in this league. Because of that, I like them against Immortals who are an average team at best. They have also made some questionable changes to their lineups sending Xmithie, who everyone thought was their golden child to the academy. Horrible move in my opinion. But I’m suspecting that the move was to actually move into a more aggressive playstyle with their current new roster. Gate also made his way from the academy roster, and overall I don’t like the moves. And personally think there is more of an internal issue.

With that said I will side with FlyQuest, who actually climbed his way to the finals last spring slate against all odds but ultimately being finished off by C9. This win will for sure be led by the bottom lane.

LoL LCS Pick to win: FlyQuest

Team SoloMid(TSM)(-110) vs Team Liquid (TL)(-125).

LoL Starting Rosters: (Primary captain options will be in capital lettering)

Team SoloMid (TSM)(-110):

• (TOP) BROKEN BLADE
• (JNG) Spica
• (MID) BJERGSEN
• (ADC) DOUBLELIFT
• (SUP) Biofrost

Team Liquid (TL)(-125):

• (TOP) Impact
• (JNG) Broxah
• (MID)  JENSEN
• (ADC) TACTICAL
• (SUP) CoreJJ

In a game which I believe is pretty even, I will go to the fact that the team pretty much built on top of what made this team successful before by bringing in Doublelift again along with Bjergsen. The entire team in my opinion looks very solid and is well experienced and should do well throughout the regular season. Besides Spica, that actually came in from the academy roster and contributed greatly to the team. This entire team is very much experienced and has worked together before.

Nothing to take away from Team Liquid that’s for sure. But they did end with a regular spring season split of 7-11. Giving them the second to last spot only ahead of Counter Logic Gaming for the season. Very much still the same team overall, and while they have a case of having good synergy as a team. I just do not think they can pull the game here in what could be a close game. Being as it is a close game anything can happen, but my pick here will be TSM for the win.

LoL LCS Slate Review: 

This is day two of the LCS and some teams showed they are still on top form, while others showed the opposite. These are the three teams I will be making my lineups around. If I did not list a game it is for the sole reason that I think the game is tough to predict or the matchup does not set up for a high upside game between the two teams. With that said each and every team picked does have a high kill total for the slate, and should be in a good position to win their games if everything goes accordingly. So far, TSM allows me to build comfortably with pretty much any team. 

There is a risk with having TSM as the game should be very close, but I’m taking a shot here with them hoping it pays off. This will allow me to go double ADC with FlyQuest/TSM stack, yes with a team the same as captain but it still allows you to build a very strong 3-3 stack.

If you want to build EG/FlyQuest there is no doubt that you will have to pay down at captain with a weaker position and that is alright too if you are going more into cash game territory.

You can always find me in the Win Daily Sports discord or on twitter @champagnravens and ask me any question about the slate, and I will 100% be there to help out. Thanks for reading Naldo’s 6/13 targets.
