League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/19 LOL LEC Breakdown

Today we will be looking into the LOL LEC 2020 Summer Split on 6/19/2020 @ 12:00 pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets for the day, as well as projected lineups to make your lineup building a lot easier. Any questions about the article or the need for 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 Top Targets:

Rogue (RGE) (-245) vs Team Vitality (VIT)(+175).

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

Rogue (RGE)(-245):

• (TOP) Finn
• (JNG) Inspired
• (MID) LARSSEN
• (ADC) HANS SAMA
• (SUP) Vander

Team Vitality (VIT)(+175):

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

I will start things off with one of my favorite plays of the LEC slate, and a pretty much near-lock option for cash games. Rogue is one of the two teams that are still undefeated in this LoL LEC summer split along with Fnatic. They have yet to face a true contender, but it is easy to see this team is in really good form. 

It all starts with their ADC, Hans Sama who in the past three games have only died twice. Currently also averaging a sick 16.0 KDA average and a 72% kill participation in those three contests. They are going up against Team Vitality who has not looked good at all in their past three, even though their record says otherwise.

I am expecting this game to be a replica of the FNC vs Vitality game where FNC controlled from start to finish, showing why Rogue is a contender and Team Vitality is not.

LOL LEC pick to win: ROGUE

Team Fnatic (FNC)(-220) vs MAD Lions (MAD)(+160)

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

Fnatic (FNC)(-425):

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

MAD Lions (MAD)(+160):

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

A match that I am always excited to see. On one side we have Fnatics, which are 3-0 since the start of the summer split. They have looked very solid, even in a very shaky start against their second opponents but managed to pull through with the win after strategically focusing on building their own champions individually.

 I believe the matchup we should be watching is the one between the two JNG. Selfmade so far between three games has accumulated a stat line of 11/1/18 giving him an average KDA of 29! He is going to be matching up against Shadow who in my opinion is one of the best JNG in the LEC.

I will be splitting ownership here 50/50 as I think there will be a lot of kills in this game. But I will be targeting Mad Lions in large-field tournaments for their highly aggressive upside. This will be a bloodbath and in my opinion, you need one of these teams to win in GPP this slate.

LoL LEC Pick to win: MAD Lions (GPP FLYER)

Origen (OG)(-360) vs Excel Esports (XL)(+245).

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

Origen (OG)(-360):

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

Excel Esports (XL)(+245):

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

Not much to go with here, we have Origen who has looked rough week one of the LOL LEC summer split. I will say that Origen is still a very solid team, while Excel is showing signs of being bottom three in the league so far with their sloppy play. Price is not over the top which allows you to at least get a double 

Origen is looking to capitalize on the plus matchup of Excel. And they should do just that hopefully with ease. Their prices are not bad at all given the upside of this matchup. So I will be using them quite a bit, in hoping to grab them at lower ownership because of their recent bad performance. I will be looking to go JNG captain to fit in my Rogue stacks in cash.

LoL LEC Pick to win: Origen

LOL LEC Honorable Mentions:

SK Gaming(SK)(+135): 

Very torn on this game but ultimately sided with SK here as a GPP DART throw against Misfits who have looked good, but not convincingly good. SK looked terrible against a pretty decent team in the Mad Lions so it was understandable, but actually pulled two straight wins before that. One of them being against one of the considered top teams in terms of talent from the last split in Origen.

I am expecting SK to continue to show glimpses of what’s to come in the future with a win over Misfit. This is strictly a gpp dart throw in large-field tournaments. It should carry ownership under 10% all around and I like those odds for these types of tournaments in a game that could be very close.

G2 Esports(G2)(-700):

I will not think about this too much, I will for sure have some G2 in tournaments and actually do not mind them in cash but carry some risk due to their previous performances. I think G2 is in a smash spot position here, and should not go overlooked because of their past struggles. The bottom lane here looks to be the most interesting, Jankos is definitely still in play but has struggled lately to get in going for his team.

Look for G2 to make an example of Schalke 04 and prove they are still the top team.
