League of Legends: Naldo’s Legendary LOL LEC Picks
Today we will be looking into a healthy five-game slate of the LOL LEC 2020 Summer Split on 6/26/2020 @ 12:00 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 LEC Teams to Target
G2 Esports (G2)(-575) vs SK Gaming (SK) (+345).
G2 should be your cash team one hundred percent today. There is just a bad mixture of mediocre teams facing up against each other while the other half has extremely good teams facing off. This makes picking the winners much harder than normal. G2 is the only one that someone could be confident in rostering in this slate which makes it the clear cut cash play even with their outrageous pricing.
SK is a team that is definitely improving their game, but it is no match for G2. They can for sure keep up with the bottom teams quite easily. I don’t expect this game to be close once the mid-game begins. G2 will try to finish this within the 29-minute mark. In a world where G2 completely struggles and SK actually plays decent with minimal error, they can win. In the best of one anything could happen but it’s unlikely.
G2 Esports Starting Lineup: (TOP) Wunder (JNG) Jankos (MID) Caps (ADC) Perkz (SUP) Mikyx
SK Gaming Starting Lineup:(TOP) Jenax (JNG) Trick (MID) Zazee (ADC) Crownshot (SUP) Limit
LOL LEC Favorite Captains:
- (TOP) Wunder (Top cheap option)
- (JNG) Jankos (Top Gpp option)
- (MID) Caps (Top optimal option)
- (ADC) Perkz (Top optimal option)
- (SUP) Mikyx (Top optimal option)
LOL LEC Pick to win: G2 Esports
MAD Lions (MAD)(-110) vs Origen Gaming (OG)(-130).
Two great teams going up against each other today. WE have MAD Lions who have been on a tear lately after losing to G2 early in the split. Then we have Origen who has been playing really well lately as well. I will say this matchup can very well go either side. Both teams are considered in the top 5 and are playing really good league at the moment. The difference here for me is that MAD Lions have done a much better job at map control, doing very well in most categories except CS differential at the 15-minute mark.
These two teams are very even, and Vegas odds thinks so as well. Given Origen’s struggle controlling the map, I will go with MAD Lions here. Given the close game we have before us I am expecting both teams to be lower owned. I will have some shares of Origen within my lineups to cover many bases in case MAD Lions does not come through.
MAD Lions Starting Lineup: (TOP) Orome (JNG) Shadow (MID) Humanoid (ADC) Carzzy (SUP) Kaiser
Origen Starting Lineup:(TOP) Alphari (JNG) Xerxe (MID) Nukeduck (ADC) Upset (SUP) Destiny
LOL LEC Favorite Captains:
- (TOP) Orome (Cheap option)
- (JNG) Shadow (Top Cheap option)
- (MID) Humanoid (Top Optimal option)
- (ADC) Carzzy (Top gpp option)
LOL LEC Pick to win: MAD Lions
LEC teams to consider in large-field tournaments:
- Origen (Coin flip matchups, gpp option)
- Rogue (High risk, high reward gpp option)
- Vitality (Cheap dart)
- Schalke 04 (Cheap deep gpp option)
- SK Gaming (Contrarian stack| High Risk)
