This has been a pretty amazing tournament thus far. SKT are tilting hard, but have a great matchup against SM as one of their two games today. I think they bounce back in that game at least. RNG are the favorites at this point and have two interesting games vs. Flash Wolves and Counter Logic Gaming. Let's get into today's picks.
Daily Player Recommendations:
Top Lane: MMD (FW vs. RNG, G2, $6,900):
RNG will be a tough game, but Flash Wolves are playing well and frankly the second match up against G2 is the one we're targeting. Throw in the cheap price and you can use MMD to pay up for players in carry roles.
Jungle: mlxg (RNG vs. FW, CLG, $7,900)
mlxg is a good bet to have another good day here at MSI. The only downside is the fact RNG could play a more macro oriented style, but if they go after these teams, mlxg's aggressive style should payoff nicely.
Middle Lane:Faker (SKT vs. CLG, SM, $8,500):
I know SKT are really struggling, but you have to think they wake back up Saturday. The CLG game is one a normal SKT team should win and the contest against SuperMassive should be worth paying the big price for Faker.
ADC: Bang (SKT vs. CLG, SM, $8,400)
Just like Faker, Bang is worth paying up for with two plus matchups. If you are worried about SKT's recent skid then feel free to look elsewhere. I'm kind of hedging here by using SKT's best two carries, but no one else from the team.
Support: Mata (RNG vs. FW, CLG, $7,600)
Mata has been playing great this tournament and is worth paying up for. These games aren't sure wins, but RNG will be the favorite heading into both.
Team: G2 vs. SM, FW ($3,400)
I paid up for a lot of high priced players in my lineup, so I need to save with the team role. We're using G2 mainly for the SuperMassive matchup, a game that was close yesterday but resulted in a lot of objectives falling. Daily owners should hope for that kind of game again and then pray that G2 can keep it close vs. Flash Wolves.
