AlphaDraft LoL: Saturday Cheat Sheet
Interested in winning a free trip to the LoL World Championship? By competing in select WFEC games, you could have the opportunity to watch your favorite team compete on the biggest stage!
Counter Logic Gaming, Team SoloMid, Cloud9, and Team Liquid are the clear favorites today. Luckily for us CLG are priced cheap enough on AlphaDraft that we don't really have to do any dumpster diving for salary relief purposes. If you are looking for a low end team that could surprise, I think the only viable option is NRG. With C9 slumping they could be in for another tough loss to NRG.
Top Lane: Hauntzer (TSM vs. APX, $8,000)
After being relegated to using tanks in the Spring split, Hauntzer is enjoying more freedom in the current meta to play some carry champions. This has been paying off for both TSM and Hauntzer's fantasy owners in a big way. I think things continue to roll for TSM Sunday against Apex. I'm also using a cheap Darshan in my Flex role.
Jungle: Xmithie (CLG vs. P1, $7,400)
CLG are underpriced coming off of a sweep yesterday. Using Xmithie sets us up to pay up for TSM's carries and that's never a bad thing. Phoenix1 have been better of late, but I wouldn't expect CLG to fall to the bottom level NA LCS team. Xmithie's upside isn't the best, but he should easily be able to pay off this cheap salary.
Middle Lane: Bjergsen (TSM vs. APX, $8,400)
Although Keane has gotten the better of Bjergsen in the past, I wouldn't have any hesitation to use TSM's mid laner today. He's back to his pre-Spring form and is dominating games with a TSM squad who won't falter Sunday.
ADC: Doublelift (TSM vs. APX, $8,200)
Likewise, Doublelift is back to his aggressive ways in the bottom lane with new support Biofrost. TSM are a two headed monster and both Bjergsen and Doublelift are getting their fair share of kills. I think that'll continue today against Apex.
Support: Aphromoo (CLG vs. P1, $7,000)
Going back to the well again. Aphromoo is only $300 more Sunday than he was Saturday when CLG 2-0'd nV. I would expect another sweep today against P1.
Team: TL vs. FOX ($3,700)
I would use CLG here for the same price if I wasn't using three CLG players already. Echo Fox are on the downswing and Team Liquid have been rising back to the top during the recent weeks. I think Team Liquid will sweep this series, but even if they drop a map they will still win the series and give us some good objective points in the process.
