League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/19 LOL LCS Breakdown
Today we will be looking into a two-game slate of the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/19/2020 @ 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
Golden Guardians (GG) (-145):
We got two teams that are struggling to look impressive to start the LOL LCS season. Golden Guardians are believed to be the better team overall and should have a decent season in the long run. The loss against Team Liquid was unexpected, but so has a lot of other wins by huge underdogs in week one. On paper, this game should not be as close as it is in the books. Golden Guardians are a much-balanced team in my opinion.
They work together and have a CS differential of +40 around the 15-minute mark so they are clearing pretty well. The problem lies in closing out the game. They control the map, capturing the first tower at 100%, and wards at a 61% rate within the first two games. I am thinking they play a more clean game against CLG on the road to win the game after learning from previous mistakes. CLG is not the greatest of teams, if anything they are a bottom of the standings team and this is a great spot for GG to bounce back. Don’t be afraid to go 50/50 on exposure if you are making multiple lineups.
LOL LCS Starting Lineup: (TOP) Hauntzer (JNG) Closer (MID) Damonte (ADC) FBI (SUP) Huni
LOL LCS Favorite Captains:
- (JNG) Closer ($6,600) (Cheap option)
- (MID) DAMONTE ($7,200) (Optimal option)
- (ADC) FBI ($7,600) (Optimal option)
LOL LCS Pick to win: Golden Guardians. (CLG as deep gpp shot)
Team SoloMid (TSM) (-280):
This is a game that I very much dislike much more than the slate itself. I believe TSM are big favorites largely because of the names on this current roster. Broken Blade, Bjergsen, and Doublelift had their success before and still carry a lot of hype behind them. Problem is, they have not played how everyone thought they would and often look very sloppy. Giving the assumptions for a lot of leaguers that the stars of this team are somewhat washed up and no longer performing how they once did.
Another reason they are heavy favorites is that they are going up against one of, if not the worst team in the LCS at this very moment and going back to LoL LCS Spring split. I think TSM will slowly start to pick things up as the season progresses but I do not expect them to reach the playoffs, and if they did, they will most likely fall short of the first round.
I have TSM to win this game, given the talent that they have on the roster. Even if they do not play at their best, they might just be able to pull off with the win against a pretty bad Immortals team. For large-field tournaments, I will have a small exposure to IMT in hopes that TSM actually plays their worst.
LOL LCS Starting Lineup: (TOP) Broken Blade (JNG) Spica (MID) Bjergsen (ADC) DoubleLift (SUP) Biofrost
LOL LCS Favorite Captains:
- (TOP) Broken Blade ($6,600) (Cheap option)
- (MID) Bjergsen ($7,400) (Top Optimal option)
- (ADC) Doublelift ($7,400) (Optimal option)
LOL LCS Pick to win: Team SoloMid
Notes: Very even matchup, liking Team SoloMid here but will have small shares of Immortals for sure.
LCS teams to consider in large-field tournaments:
- Counter Logic Gaming
- Immortals
