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

Today we will be looking into the LOL LEC 2020 Summer Split on 6/13/2020 @ 11:00 am 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 LEC Tournament Format:

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

LOL LEC Slate Breakdown:

G2 Esports (G2) (-235) vs Origen (OG)(+175).

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

G2 Esports (G2)(-235):

• (TOP) WUNDER
• (JNG) JANKOS
• (MID) CAPS
• (ADC) PERKZ
• (SUP) MIKYX

Origen (OG)(+175):

• (TOP) Alphari
• (JNG) Xerxe
• (MID) NUKEDUCK
• (ADC) UPSET
• (SUP) Destiny

Yesterday was certainly a treat, with some teams that were expected to be rather dysfunctional actually coming out on top over some top teams, and yes I am looking at you Origen.  They gave us one of their most disappointing losses up to date in the hands of SK who actually looked really solid even behind some questionable champion decisions. Regardless they beat one of the teams considered to be in top three in the standings. After that loss, I just don’t see Origen come out on top against the arguably best team of the LEC, and even the world.

This should be a bloodbath, and I believe Origen will be doing the bleeding. Overall, Origen is still a very decent team, maybe they just dropped the ball, or maybe SK really improved that much in a short amount of time. Origen will be looking for a comeback win, but I think this is a win that will be almost impossible to get. 

LOL LEC Pick to win: G2

Fnatic (FNC)(-425) vs Team Vitality (VIT)(+280).

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

Fnatic (FNC)(-425):

• (TOP) BWIPO
• (JNG) Selfmade
• (MID) NEMESIS
• (ADC) REKKLES
• (SUP) Hylissang

Team Vitality (VIT)(+280):

• (TOP) Cabochard
• (JNG) Nji
• (MID)  MILICA
• (ADC) COMP
• (SUP) Jactroll

A very straight forward matchup here. I am expecting Fnatics to deliver easily against a bottom of the barrel team in Team Vitality who actually won their first game of the split. The difference here is that they played another bottom of the barrel team, and now they will be going up against a top-three team in Fnatic. Fnatics also won their first game of the split against Misfits but it did not come easy after trailing through most of the game they ditched their whole strategy and actually played to pick out their opponents one by one until they managed a lead and ultimately finishing the game.

This is the type of team Fnatic is and the caliber they bring to the table.  Team Vitality still has a lot to go before they can beat a team like Fnatic, let alone be a top team in the standings. Look for them to control, and attack at will at what will seem an easy win.

LoL LEC Pick to win: Fnatic

MAD Lions (MAD)(-265) vs Excel Esports (XL)(+185).

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

MAD Lions (MAD)(-265):

• (TOP) Orome
• (JNG) SHADOW
• (MID) HUMANOID
• (ADC) CARZZY
• (SUP) Kaiser

Excel Esports (XL)(+185):

• (TOP) Kryze
• (JNG) Caedrel
• (MID)  Swiffer
• (ADC) PATRIK
• (SUP) Tore

Probably my favorite pick tonight after G2 Esports. MAD Lions are a young team full of talent in the LOL and I have them being a top team sooner than later in the LEC. They are not quite at the level of G2 as we could see on opening day where they took a beating by them, but have shown flashes in the last split and even took a series from G2 with a major upset.

Today they will be going up against Excel Esports who lost to Rogue which was not a surprise to me, at least. They looked horrible and got completely manhandled in the lanes. Being completely out farmed by Rogue, and when the team fights happened they were forced to withdraw after getting picked. MAD Lions dropped their first game of the LOL summer split but it was no other than the juggernaut of G2. So nothing to really take away aside from the fact they actually had no chance. I am expecting a huge game from MAD Lions here, and take their frustrations out on Excel. Averaging a high 16.9 kills per game I am expecting them to capitalize on the weak matchups and get ahead early.

LoL LEC Pick to win: MAD Lions

Honorable Mentions:

Misfits Gaming(MSF)(-120): 

It is safe to say Misfits Gaming is night and day compared to the last split of LoL. Misfits took a loss to FNC but forced their hand plenty of times throughout the game. They looked very solid with Kobbe in their lineup and I believe this is the start of a decent early push and show what they have.

They go up against a team that finished third in the spring split and just handed a loss to excel esports. I think Misfits are very aggressive and will force the team fights which in my opinion they should win. Objective control was not a problem either, I am expecting for Misfits to play at their pace. If Rogue sets the pace I believe Misfits will have a hard time. But they showed just enough for me to believe in them against a team that often tends to be inconsistent in LoL. 

LoL LEC Slate Review: 

Above we have my three favorites stacks to build around. I am looking to have as many players from either of those teams that salary allows me to have. Meaning my builds will most likely be 4-2, and if it allows me to have an expensive position at captain I will go to 3-3 builds which are very much effective as well. Misfits should allow you to fit many decent stacks with either of those three teams, including double ADC, double MID, and so on as your strongest stacks.

Any stacks of the top three teams will most likely require to lower down to using TOP/JNG and even SUP at captain which I actually do not think its a bad idea as long as you get the most upside from both teams. This is a very good slate for cash games, and GPP games if you pick the right under-owned teams that are playing i.e SK/Misfits who are my favorites to win and cheap stacks.

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.
