League of Legends: Naldo’s Legendary LOL LCS Picks
Today we will be looking into a two-game slate of the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/26/2020 @ 9:00 pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets for the day, correlation plays, as well as projected lineups 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 Teams to Target
FlyQuest (FQ)(-240) vs Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) (+170).
FlyQuest is arguably the second-best team of the LCS right behind Cloud 9. They are going up against Counter Logic who is considered to be a very questionable team as far talent goes but here they are with a solid record of 3-1. I will say I cannot give these guys all the credit for this record as their only decent win has been against Golden Guardians. We have two teams that are equals in the standings but FlyQuest has the much advantage skill talent being led by PowerofEvil and the newly added Mash who has been a shot of fresh air to a lineup that was even strong with WildTurtle. I like the idea of Fly developing new talent in LOL.
FlyQuest carries a 75% rate of first blood in matches suggesting they are very aggressive since the start compared to CLG’s 25% first blood rate. FlyQuest stats on paper and in-game are just superior, more importantly, averaging about 17.3 KPG with a team K/D average of 2.3 and a 70% kill participation being their lowest percentage average of all the players. With that said I will be having most of my exposure riding on this team. (70% FLY/ 30% CLG)
FQ Starting Lineup: (TOP) Solo (JNG) Santorin (MID) PowerofEvil (ADC) Mash (SUP) Ignar
CLG Starting Lineup:(TOP) Ruin (JNG) Wiggily (MID) Poberter (ADC) Stixxray (SUP) Smoothie
LOL LCS Favorite Captains:
- (TOP) Solo (Cheap option)
- (JNG) Santorin (Cheap option)
- (MID) PowerofEvil (Top Optimal option)
- (ADC) Mash (Top Gpp option)
- (SUP) Ignar (Cheap option)
LOL LCS Pick to win: FlyQuest Gaming (CLG as deep gpp shot)
Cloud 9 (C9)(-360) vs Team Liquid (TL)(+250).
There is no doubt that C9 is a very talented team and that they are the top team of this LOL league. So much that they make the opponents look like casuals with their team fighting and objective control. I mean Vulcan their support has an incredible KDA of 46.0. It’s safe to say these guys are on another level. And their confidence, outside of the game is unmatched. This is a very fun team to watch in and outside of the game.
Team Liquid is good, but not near as good as Cloud9 and it’s not even close. I just do not picture this team winning. They just got off a horrible loss against EG that I thought they should have won. Given that these games are all best of one, I would not be mad if you wanted to go against the grain here and take a shot at the ultimate gpp option today in TL. Go in expecting to lose any money you put up betting on them so you are not disappointed.
Cloud 9 Starting Lineup: (TOP) Licorice (JNG) Blaber (MID) Nisqy (ADC) Zven (SUP) Vulcan
Team Liquid Starting Lineup:(TOP) Impact (JNG) Broxah (MID) Jensen (ADC) Tactical (SUP) CoreJJ
LOL LCS Favorite Captains:
- (TOP) Licorice (Cheap option)
- (JNG) Blaber (Top Cheap option)
- (MID) Nisqy (Top Optimal option)
- (ADC) Zven (Optimal option)
- (SUP) Vulcan (Top cheap option)
LOL LCS Pick to win: Cloud 9

- Counter Logic Gaming [30% exposure]
