Mad Lions (8-6) vs. SK (2-12)

We are finally back with the LEC after a week off due to the Coronavirus. To start off, LEC is a best-of-one series instead of best-of-three, so hitting the players and teams are very important. Lineup construction is way more variant in a bo1 than a bo3 because don't get a GNP bonus. Whatever the score is on DK is basically the final score unless they missed some kills or assists. The first game is very simple: SK are the worst team in the LEC and Mad Lions are really good. I love to target this game because SK likes to give up a lot of kills; hopefully they decide to play an up-tempo game, which will cause a slow team like MAD to get a lot of kills since they have the third-highest kill total.

Prediction: MAD Lions

Bets: None

FC Shalke (3-11) vs. Misfits (9-5)

S04 had a lot of hype coming into this season and has under-performed those expectations. Misfits, on the other hand, have over-performed and are looking good. S04 has been better of late after switching their ADC. I don't think its good enough to beat Misfits, who are a team with a good Top laner in dan dan and leadership from Febiven in the

Prediction: Misfits

Bets: None

exceL eSports (7-7) vs. Fnatic (10-4)

This game is huge for xL because they need to win at least one game this weekend to make it into playoffs. Unfortunately, they are playing the two best teams in the region this weekend. xL has a coach name Youngbuck who was Fnatics' old coach. They are going to prepare for anything, but the problem with xL is their mid-to-late game decision. Meanwhile, Fnatic wants to win to be in first or second place, and they are a team that is very well organized. Their drafts are really good since their players can play multiple champions and can play through all their lanes. Their early game to snowball teams is one of the best, and I think xL will fall just short.

Prediction: Fnatic

Bets: xL ML (+355) I know I said I like Fnatic but this line is too good in a Bo1.

Origen (10-4) vs. Vitality (1-13)

This is a stay-away game from me due to the fact that Origen is the RNG of the league: very clean and precise and they rarely drop games to bad teams. I don't think this a good spot for DFS unless they want to go on a killing spree, but their kill total is the lowest on the slate.

Prediction: Origen

Bets: None

G2 (11-3) vs. Rogue (9-5)

The last game includes one of the best teams in the world in G2 against a solid team in Rogue. I am going to keep this short because G2 will never flex on teams they respect, and Rogue is one of them. G2 is the most variant team, as they can go for 25 kills or 16. They are usually over-priced but there are still a lot of spots where I'll take them. G2 is just an amazing team with how they play the game, snowball, maintain gold leads when they are behind in kills, you get the point. Rogue stylistically can't match G2 because of how they love to draft to scale, but they are a good team when they can put Finn weak side and have two great carries in Larssen and Hansama.

Prediction: G2

Bets: None
