League of Legends: Naldo’s Legendary LOL LCS Picks 7/3
Today we will be looking into a two-game slate of the LCS 2020 Summer Split on 7/3/2020 @ 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
Cloud 9 (C9) (-1000):
There is not really much to say here or dive into. Cloud 9 is the most dominant team in the LCS at the moment. Expect Cloud 9 to be 70%+ owned across the board. Your stacks and everyone’s stack should focus on C9 and there is no debating it. I know some of you will be crazy enough to play some Counter Logic Gaming, and you are just that…crazy. But as crazy as that sounds, anything can happen in a Bo1 game. With that said I will take a stand and have 100% exposure to C9.
LCS C9 PROJ Starting Lineup: (TOP) Licorice (JNG) Blaber (MID) Nisqy (ADC) Zven (SUP) Vulcan
LCS CLG PROJ Starting Lineup: (TOP) Ruin (JNG) Wiggily (MID) Pobelter (ADC) Stixxay (SUP) Smoothie
LOL LCS Favorite Captains:
- (JNG) Blaber (Top optimal/cheap option)
- (MID) Nisqy (Optimal option)
- (ADC) Zven (Optimal option)
- (SUP) Vulcan (Cheap option)
LOL LCS Pick to win: Cloud 9
100Thieves (100T) (-110) vs Golden Guardians (GG)(-125):
One of those games where I will just say to have both sides if you are playing the slate. While the first game was pretty straight forward, this game that we have in our hands is a “pickems” Naturally I would side with Golden Guardians here, but they do not convince me at all. They have been pretty inconsistent, and while 100Thieves are too, they are at least making changes in their roster to help improve it.
100Thieves brought forward from their academy roster both Contractzz at JNG and Poome at SUP. It is not a noticeable move, but a move in the right direction in my opinion. Because we have two inconsistent teams, I will side with the one that is making moves in hopes to actually improve their gameplay.
LCS 100T PROJ Starting Lineup: (TOP) Summday (JNG) Contractzz (MID) Ryoma (ADC) Cody Sun (SUP) Poome
LCS GG PROJ Starting Lineup: (TOP) Hauntzer (JNG) Clozer (MID) Damonte (ADC) FBI (SUP) Huni
LOL LCS Favorite Captains:
- (MID) Ryoma (Top Optimal option)
- (ADC) Cody Sun (Optimal option)
LOL LCS Pick to win: 100Thieves
Notes: Very even matchup, liking 100Thieves here but will have even shares of Golden Guardians for sure.
LCS teams to consider in large-field tournaments:
- Golden Guardians [Should be the popular option here in cash games]
- Counter Logic Gaming [SUPER HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD]
