2/2 League of Legends LPL Breakdown
Welcome to my 2/2 League of Legends LPL Breakdown as last night was an absolute train wreck as RNG fell 2-1 to BLG, losing to a poke team comp and being too scared to go in even when they had the team fighting comp. Xiahou didn’t play tanky top lane champs and biubiu made him pay the price for it, Suning also took a full 2-0 sweep against LGD in a roll. Looking ahead to tonight’s matchups we have WE/RA and EDG/V5, let’s dig into the slate and shoot for some green tonight
WE (-305) vs. Rare Atom (+215)
Last time out Team WE ended up losing a disappointing series 2-0 to RNG as they were beat all throughout the map. While RA is coming of a quick 2-0 over RW where Leyan went off and took control of the matchup through his jungle presence which was a huge surprise to me as I expected him to succumb to the jungle pressure from Haro. Tonight though, they have a different beast in WE and Beishang to take on as they are one of the best teams in the LPL. We do have a bit of a surprise tonight from the team WE lineup as they have decided to go with Yimeng over Shanks, this may be to garner a more roaming comp overall as he is well versed in champs like twisted fate and gallio.
In this matchup first turret goes over to RA while the teams are even on Herald rate while WE then takes leads in first three turrets, first drake, and overall drake percentage, they also hold the advantage in Baron rate. Looking into team throughout I like WE to win the top lane matchup with breathe over cube in the top lane with breathe being one of the better top laners in the LPL. Jungle matchup I am going to have to give it over to Beishang as he has been one of the best junglers in the LPL, I see him putting constant pressure on Leyan and he will be one of their win conditions. I am taking WE to win this matchup though I can see them giving up a game and going 2-1.
EDG (-475) vs. V5 (+300)
Our second match on the night and I believe that EDG will be a clear winner here as they are the last undefeated team in the LPL and they are going against V5 who keep on changing their top laner seemingly every match. EDG has been playing through JieJie and Viper who both have been playing incredibly well with Viper conforming well to the LPL style. This seems to be the more so set in stone match of the day with V5 coming off a bad loss to TT and I also believe it is the higher upside match of the day with V5 dying a lot in losses this split.
Looking into the stats V5 once again is able to take the early game as that is how they have been playing all year, though if their early game advantages aren’t enough they will get rolled by the map dominance of EDG along with their jungle pressure, if there was a hedge spot tonight it would not be this game I believe in a 2-0 for the last undefeated team in the LPL. Look for top plays like Viper, JieJie, Meiko, and Scout to carry this matchup.
Summary
To summarize our 2/2 League of Legends LPL Breakdown I am going to have to say WE 2-1 and EDG 2-0. for roster construction tonight I would be looking for a 4-3 with 4 EDG or a 4-2-1 with 4 EDG 2 WE and RA team spot. Both look like good options for tonight and would go with the 4-3 for Cash and 4-2-1 for GPP builds tonight.
