GAMES (EDT)
- 5:00 a.m: Dominus Esports vs. JD Gaming
- 7:00 a.m: LGD Gaming v. Invictus Gaming
JDG vs. DMO
This game is going to be a snooze fest, as DMO and JDG play at some of the slower paces in the LPL. DMO brought two players in, and they did look a little more aggressive than their previous games, but against a top team like JDG that is going to be a hard task. JDG lost a tough one to RNG, and Kanavi hasn't looked the same as the spring split, but this is a big bounce-back spot against an inferior opponent. JDG have the overall better players, objective control, wins and play-style for this meta to lose against DMO.
Prediction: JDG 2-0
- JDG Players to Target: Everyone
IG vs. LGD
This is going to be an exiting game, as IG have found success playing through the bot side and LGD have been smashing most teams, with a close one against TES the outlier there. In that TES game, it took 369 to make an amazing outplay to win, and if it wasn't for that, LGD would of given TES their first loss. Even though IG have a better dragon control, LGD have a kill:death ratio of 1.80:1 while IG are at 1.08:1. LGD play their lives better and know when to fight or not, as they don't get caught out in most situations. LGD top side with LangX, Peanut and Xiye is strong enough to take over the game

LGD play their lives better and know when to fight or not, as they don't get caught out in most situations. LGD top side with LangX, Peanut and Xiye is strong enough to take over the game because TheShy is having another poor split, leading the league in deaths per game. Rookie is really good and can take over this game, but LGD have been playing well on weak-side while letting Kramer farm bot and carry into late. Simply put, if IG want to win they need TheShy to stop dying so much. There have been some rumors about TheShy and Southwind not getting along, specifically with Southwind's play calls, and it seems evident that TheShy doesn't want to play. Tuesday's game will test both of these teams, and taking both sides is not wrong; this could be an insane game-stack. but leave TheShy out.
Prediction: LGD 2-1
