EG vs. TL
EG have looked really good, and they have drafted very well, but they got exposed when they forced Jizuke on the back foot. When Jizuke is behind in gold the entire team suffers, as most of the engagement comes from him. Tactical and CoreJJ have been the best players in term of gold and KP% over the past few games. TL are playing some clean League of Legends, as Broxah is getting a first blood in all of their games so far. EG can win this game as long as they draft Jizuke and Svenskeren something to mitigate the early game roam from Broxah.
Prediction: TL Win
TL Player to Target: Tactical ($7,200), Broxah ($6,200), CoreJJ ($5,000),
DIG vs FLY
This is going to be a bloody game, as FLY are averaging 20 kills per game, and with the new ADC player Mash, they have a more aggressive playstyle. DIG won their game against CLG, who are on the same skill level as DIG and they barely won. This is a case of keep it simple and jam in as many FLY players as you can and move on.
Prediction: FLY Win
FLY Players to Target: Everyone
C9 vs. GG
This is another game where C9 are looking to be the best team again. They took care of EG very quickly,

C9 vs. GG
This is another game where C9 are looking to be the best team again. They took care of EG very quickly, and at this point it's clear that everyone are so far behind C9. Their early game, drafts and players are all so good that the only way they lose is if they troll their draft or a team is playing way beyond their level. C9 is almost a must play on all slates because they have high upside and are generally chalky.
Prediction: C9 Win
C9 Players to Target: Everyone
IMT vs. 100T
Both Immortals and 100T are struggling, and it's a surprise for the latter because they have two really good players in SSumsday and CodySun. Another thing is that the champions for this meta suit Meteos well. The problem with 100T is a lack of leadership in game and an identity in their playstyle. First week we saw 100T were playing for late game but this week they were trying to force fights early. Immortals aren't better because they also have no leadership, new team, and the players aren't mechanically better than anyone in the LCS. On paper, this should be easy for 100T because they have the better players and should win lane and on.
Prediction: 100T Win
100T Players to Target: CodySun ($8,000), Ssumday ($6,400)
