Week Three starts Thursday in Europe with some choice matchups. G2 vs. H2K is the big ticket game of the day, but there are a few important contests including Schalke 04 vs. Fnatic, ROCCAT vs. Origen, and Vitality vs. UoL. Splyce vs. Giants may be the forgotten matchup, but could end up being a good series as well. On paper I'd guess we see a lot of draws on Thursday, but we don't know until they get on the Rift.
Top Lane: Odoamne (H2K vs. G2, $7,600)
Odoamne faces G2 in the best matchup of the day, but it doesn't scare me off of using him. He faces new G2 top laner Expect and although G2 present a tough matchup, he is an extremely steady top laner that is matchup proof.
Jungle: Jankos (H2K vs. G2, $7,600)
I'm also not afraid to use Jankos today even in this tough matchup. His aggressive style leads to fantasy points and his kill participation this season remains high --- where Jankos goes action usually follows. I also like Trick on the opposite side of this matchup.
Middle Lane: Betsy (ROC vs. OG, $8,200)
I think ROCCAT will 2-0 Origen today and Betsy has quietly been playing well dating back to the Spring Split. He's a genuine carry threat and should be in line for a good series against PowerOfEvil in the mid lane.
ADC: Steeelback (ROC vs. OG, $8,300)
The other ROCCAT carry also finds himself in a good spot for fantasy production today. He's proved to be a good ADC, even back when he was on Fnatic in the Spring of 2015. His fantasy upside is high here in this matchup against xPeke.
Support: Mikyx (SPY vs. GIA, $6,800)
Going cheap at support today on AlphaDraft is a must so we can pay up elsewhere. I'm not sure Splyce will 2-0 GIANTS!, but Mikyx has been playing well since joining the LCS this split and could easily find himself with 10+ assists in both games.
Team: H2K vs. G2 ($3,600)
We're probably looking at a tie here, but 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 G2.
