100 vs. CLG
100 Thieves really look like a revitalized team, which has happened for multiple teams across the world. We saw this with FPX bringing back GimGoon and EG changing up their lineup as well to suit them better. Contractz has proven to be the better jungler over Meteos, and Poome is a solid replacement as well. CLG are either on hot or cold streaks it seems, and even though CLG have the better record right now, I have 100T taking this one. Ryoma and Ssumday lead the way in kills (38 and 34, respectively), and in terms of kill participation, we have Contractz and Ryoma leading the charge , showing that 100T like to play around the top half of the map.
Prediction to Win: 100 Thieves
DIG vs. TSM
TSM come into this match in a tight playoff race and need to get a couple more wins to keep EG off of their heels. Spica has been an anchor for the team while having poor showings in the jungle and not controlling the map like TSM needs. The combined experience of the players on TSM should be able to achieve what the game plan

Spica has been an anchor for the team while having poor showings in the jungle and not controlling the map like TSM needs. The combined experience of the players on TSM should be able to achieve what the game plan is Saturday, which will be a clean game against DIG. TSM will also look to use Dardoch's aggression against him and make his life in the jungle difficult.
Prediction to Win: TSM
- TSM Players to Target: Everyone on TSM
GG vs. FLY
FlyQuest showed some life Friday with WildTurtle becoming the starter for the rest of Summer by beating TL in their own play-style of slow play and gaining leads. FLY will need a bit more aggression against GG here since Closer likes to try and get his team ahead early. Watching FLY play that clean against a smart TL team makes me think the off time for WildTurtle did the team some good and have found a play-style that they can continue to use for the rest of the split. PowerOfEvil leads the team in kills with 48 this split, while Santorin in the jungle has a 79 percent kill participation. With WildTurtle coming back into form and the mid/jungle duo synergy making strides, this is where you want to target. If FLY can keep GG quiet in the early game this should be a win for FlyQuest.
Prediction to Win: FlyQuest
- FLY Players to Target: PowerOfEvil ($7,400) WildTurtle ($7,000) Santorin ($7,200)
IMT vs. C9
Cloud9 have looked kind of lost in the back half of the Summer split, and it's either because they are becoming too complacent or they are trying new things out before playoffs and potential Worlds. We still see Blaber on the Lee Sin, which most teams are getting away from and picking up champions like Volibear and Sett. I hope to see Blaber pick up some new jungle picks from here on out. Immortals lost Friday to the new EG team and looked pretty lost on the map once they were down in gold and objectives, which C9 can easily do to IMT here. This is a bounce-back spot for C9 to show who dominate the LCS.
Prediction to Win: Cloud9
- C9 Players to Target: Everyone on C9
