League of Legends: Naldo’s Legendary 6/27 LOL LCS Picks

Today we will be looking into a two-game slate of the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/27/2020 @ 4:00 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

Team Liquid (TL)(-385) vs Team Dignitas (DIG) (+260). 

First off we have Team Liquid coming in hot with a solid record in the standings of 3-1. Possessing a solid gold differential of +316 at the 15-minute mark. Compared to Dignitas -1045. This is a game where Team Liquid will try to capitalize more on the early game as they are the aggressors here in this game with a 100% first blood success rate the past 4 games.

Team Liquid is the clear aggressor here and I am expecting this game to get active quick. There are rumors that Lourol is being promoted to the pro roster so we might see him here since V1per got demoted to the academy league. I am picking Team Liquid here, as a near-lock for cash games today.

TL Projected Starting Lineup: (TOP) Impact (JNG) Broxah (MID) Jensen (ADC) Tactical (SUP) CoreJJ
DIG Projected Starting Lineup: (TOP) Luroul (JNG) Aakaadian (MID) Froggen (ADC) Jhonsunn (SUP) Aphroomo

 LOL LCS Favorite Captains:

• (JNG) Broxah (Cheap option)
• (MID) Jensen(Top Optimal option)
• (ADC) Tactical (Top Optimal option)

LOL LCS Pick to win: Team Liquid

Evil Geniuses (EG)(-210) vs Team SoloMid (TSM)(+150)

These two teams are pretty decent, but there is no doubt that Evil Geniuses are close to the top 5 of the leaderboards if not top 3. WE have Evil Geniuses that struggle in the early game when it comes to farming but nothing really significant. Evil Geniuses in comparison lead the gold differential by about +1086 by the 15-minute mark. This suggests  EG normally starts becoming more live towards the mid, and late game.

 I am expecting Evil Geniuses to take stabs early in the game at an attempt to gain control of the game. But I am fully expecting EG to clean up the mid-game and get more aggressive. I am not expecting this game to have a lot of upsides, but will for sure provide a decent floor for your cash game needs.

EG Projected Starting Lineup: (TOP) Kumo (JNG) Svenskeren (MID) Jizuke (ADC) Bang  (SUP) Zeyzal
TSM Starting Lineup:(TOP) Broken Blade (JNG) Spica (MID) Bjergsen (ADC) Doublelift  (SUP) Biofrost

 LOL LCS Favorite Captains:

• (MID)  Jizuke (Top Optimal option)
• (ADC) Bang (Top Optimal option)

 LOL LCS Pick to win: Evil Geniuses

Counter Logic Gaming (CLG)(+115) vs 100 Thieves (100)(-160).

We got a game here that might not be the sexiest of matchups as both teams do have a tendency to play slow and control the map. It’s going to get to a point where both teams won’t be able to keep their distance and attempt to change the pace of the game by getting an early pick. I believe CLG has been the perfect example of that, they never settle, always finding ways to get ahead in the game even when they are behind. I am expecting CLG to push the pace to take control. 

100T has been everything but impressive this split, compared to CLG who are actually starting off with a hot 3-1 record. Given the statistics, I will side with CLG here to control the game early on forcing 100T to fight more than their typical playstyle taking them out of their comfort zone. I will take the underdog here, hoping for near minimum ownership in deep gpp. 

CLG Projected Starting Lineup: (TOP) Ruin (JNG) Wiggily (MID) Poberter (ADC) Stixxray  (SUP) Smoothie

100T Projected Starting Lineup: (TOP) ssumday (JNG) Meteos (MID) Ryoma (ADC) Cody Sun  (SUP) Stunt

 LOL LCS Favorite Captains:

• (JNG)  Wiggily (Cheap option)
• (MID)  Poberter (Top Optimal option)
• (ADC) Stixxray (Top Optimal option)

LOL LCS Pick to win: Counter Logic Gaming
