Friday's slate is full of some interesting options in Europe. Vitality vs. H2K looks like the best matchup on paper, but I think ROCCAT vs. Schalke could take that title after the games are played. G2 and Fnatic come into the day heavy favorites against UoL and Splyce respectively. Giants and Origen certainly presents and interesting matchup, especially if you believe Origen can 2-0 Giants after their dominating performance against ROCCAT on Thursday. I think it's likely, but it's hard to trust OG right now. In tournaments I like a H2K/S04 stack or a FNC/GIA stack if you're feeling really bold.
Top Lane: Odoamne (H2K vs. VIT, $7,700)
The Vitality matchup might scare some people away based on their name, but I think H2K take this series handily. Odoamne is the reliable top laner in Europe, especially when playing tanks. I actually do like Cabochard as well based on his cheap price and fact that Vitality will have to play through him to win.
Jungle: Jankos (H2K vs. VIT, $7,600)
I like H2K's top and jungler more than I actually like Ryu or Freeze today. In wins, Jankos kill participation is always sky high and I would expect him to be a big reason why H2K take this series.
Middle Lane: Febiven (FNC vs. SPY, $7,900)
This looks like the easiest matchup to predict on the day, maybe outside of G2 vs. UoL. I think Fnatic sweep the series and Febiven is a main reason why. Yes they lost to Splyce once last split, but that was more flukey than anything. Febiven should dominate Sencux and Splyce Friday.
ADC: Rekkles (FNC vs. SPY, $8,100)
Rekkles is frustrating to own in fantasy because at times he plays too much of a supportive role. His upside is always there though and this should be a series that he dominates.
Support: Yellowstar (FNC vs. SPY, $7,500)
I know I preach not to pay up for supports, but today I was able to fit the top salaried player based on how I built my team. Yellowstar is a lock to pick up a high assist total unless Fnatic go full on H2K and focus objectives.
Team: H2K vs. VIT ($3,700)
I think H2K sweep this series and if we know one thing about H2K it's that they love objectives. So expect them to be a relatively high scoring team even if they split this series with Vitality.
