CLG vs. 100 Thieves
Counter Logic Gaming played a very good game against FlyQuest on Friday even though it ended up in a loss. This game will be close with two bottom teams facing off, which can mean good things for fantasy scoring if both teams can't close out the game. Ruin in the top lane along with Stixxay as ADC have led the way in kills for CLG this split. 100 Thieves looked better with their win against Immortals and played the map objectives more effectively. They had a very tough schedule for the first two weeks playing teams like Cloud 9, Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid, who are expected to make playoffs. Both teams are live here but I see Counter Logic Gaming winning the match.
Prediction to win: Counter Logic Gaming
Counter Logic Players to Target: Stixxay ($7,200), Pobelter ($7,000), Ruin ($5,800)
100 Thieves Players to Target: Meteos ($7,000) Stunt ($5,400)
TSM vs. Evil Geniuses
Evil Geniuses are keeping up their momentum from Spring split and are currently 3-1, with their lone loss coming against 5-0 Cloud 9. TSM have been struggling a little bit and are having growing pains with the new jungler Spica, who came from academy for this split. TSM sitting at a record of (2-2) have only been able to beat the bottom

TSM have been struggling a little bit and are having growing pains with the new jungler Spica, who came from academy for this split. TSM sitting at a record of (2-2) have only been able to beat the bottom teams like Dignitas and Immortals. Jizuke from Evil Genuises is the kill leader, sitting at 19 for the split, and should be in your lineups with Evil Geniuses. In terms of kill participation Zeyzal and Kumo top this list along with Jizuke.
Prediction to win: Evil Geniuses
Players to Target: Jizuke ($7,800) Kumo ($6,200) Zeyzal ($5,800)
Dignitas vs. Team Liquid
Team Liquid have looked good during the first couple weeks of the LCS. They have shown that Tactical is a serviceable ADC to replace DoubleLift and the team seems to be functioning better as a whole. Meanwhile, Dignitas have looked very poor in the first two weeks, and players that are supposed to be carrying the team like Froggen and V1per have not been able to do enough to pull out a win yet. Dignitas moved V1per to the academy team for this week and Lourlo will be starting in the top lane. Team Liquid will have an easy game due to the performance of Dignitas and the player swap on short notice. CoreJJ, Tactical, and Broxah lead the team in kill participation with 82, 77 and 77 percent, respectfully. Team Liquid took a close loss to Cloud 9 on Friday night and I expect them to bounce back here against a struggling Dignitas squad.
Prediction to win: Team Liquid
Players to Target: Tactical ($7,600), Broxah ($7,400), CoreJJ ($6,000)
Immortals vs. Golden Guardians
Immortals are looking very rough and just went through some coaching changes during the week. They are now shaking things up and starting their entire academy roster for this week's LCS games. Their academy roster, currently sitting at 3-3, has three LCS veterans in Xmithie, Apollo and Haukaho, so they aren't completely out of their element. Golden Guardians have only won one game so far, but they have the roster to beat Immortals because they can look at game film from the last two days to figure out how Immortals are handling the meta. Additionally, three of the five Immortals academy players have negative gold differentials at 15 minutes compared to their opponents. FBI and Damonte lead the team in kills this split and should be considered for lineups Saturday.
Prediction to win: Golden Guardians
