What’s up everyone! Last night was filled with upsets, but I think tonight we’ll see the favorites come out on top. I have to keep this article somewhat short and to the point because of time, but I’ll make sure to cover all the points. Let’s get into it.
CASH
TES (-600) vs EDG
Hope isn’t playing for EDG tonight with a health problem, so they have to face the best team in the league, and perhaps the world, with their backup ADC. I still expect them to put up a fight and it won’t be something like a DMO vs TES situation where they have no chance, but TES should find their advantage in the bot lane and just attack it every chance they get. JackeyLove and Yuyanjia should abuse EDG down there and I expect TES to use this to steamroll their way to a 2-0 victory over EDG. Should EDG take a game from TES, it will be through Scout- who in his own right will have an extremely tough time vs Knight. EDG will need to play an almost flawless game and hope that BBD shows up tonight in place of Hope.
ENTIRE TEAM IN PLAY here. LOCK AND LOAD for CASH games.
WE (-400) vs RW
WE has looked really strong to start off the split, and I think this is a perfect game for them to keep it going. RW have the highest deaths per loss on the slate at 20.2, and WE have the highest implied kill total tonight at 33.0. On top of that, WE average 19.0 kills per win, to go along with their improved objective control. WE should make this a bloody game, RW love to team fight and try to outclass their opponent and thus leads to bloody ARAM style type games where its just a 5v5 blood bath. WE have the highest upside and floor to me today, and I want to have exposure to them in all formats.
GPP
DYN (-150) vs HLE
HLE has changed their style of play and have adapted an unorthodox approach to the LCK play. They are like a mix of an LPL/LCS team that loves to try new things out. Meanwhile DYN has only 5 players on that squad, so their chemistry and approach is constant and I love for them to be a team to pair with either TES or WE in some GPPS. I will be prioritizing WE/TES in most lineups but DYN definitely can match the upside. They have won some scrappy games and I personally think they’ll be the 3rd highest owned team tonight.
Sorry for the short article! I ran into some poison oak the other day so staying still etc. is tough. I’ll be back with a longer article tomorrow! DM me on twitter @srirachadfs for more info.
