My insistence that CLG are buns continues to lose me money. 4u last week and 2u last night. As much as it pains me to admit maybe they aren’t as bad as originally thought, I’m going to leave their last match of the weekend off my card.
The board is looking beautiful today so we got a few plays. Hopefully we repeat the undefeated Saturday we had last week. Let’s go!
100 Thieves vs Team Liquid – 4:00PM EDT
100 Thieves has a tough start to the season. They played EG and C9 in their first two matches and now square off against Liquid. I’m slowly starting to buy into Liquid even after their near miss against Immortals. Plus EG and C9 absolutely throttled 100T so I’m confident Liquid can cover -4.5 kills.
FlyQuest vs TSM – 5:00PM EDT
Both these teams have had similar starts to the season, they got beat up by top teams but found wins against weaker opponents. I like the value on FlyQuest at even money here. I can’t buy into TSM. They have a gaping hole in jungle and Bjergsen is carrying the entire team dealing 45% of their total damage. With the strength of top lane and jungle right now, I have to take FlyQuest.
Cloud9 vs Evil Geniuses 6:00PM EDT
This should be a really fun one. Right now EG and C9 are the best teams in the LCS and whenever they meet up it turns into a blood bath. In their six meetings last season they combined for an average of more than 29 kills/game with 5/6 hitting o22.5. I love the over here.
Picks
- 1u Liquid -4.5 Kills (-110)
- 1u FlyQuest ML (Even)
- 2u Cloud9 vs Evil Geniuses o22.5 (-115)
Record: 4-4 -1.18u
