There are three clear favorites today in H2K, Fnatic, and G2. Unicorns of Love/Schalke 04 and Vitality/Splyce look like they could go either way and will most likely be ties. We need some value from these two games as the favorites are all priced pretty highly. Take a look below to see where that value is coming from.
Top Lane: Odoamne (H2K vs. ROC, $7,700)
Odoamne sort of let us down yesterday, but I'm going back to the well. I know Origen have been bad, but they still have proven players who can take a game off of some of the top teams. At this moment I'm not really sure you can say that about ROCCAT. They look like a mess and H2K should sweep easily, with Odo being a good cheap option to get some exposure to H2K. I also like Cabochard.
Jungle: Spirit (FNC vs. GIA, $8,000)
Spirit should have no problem making plays early and often against GIANTS. Although the underdogs are playing better of late, they are not in the same class as Fnatic. Spirit's aggressive style pays off nicely in fantasy and he should be able to produce enough to justify his salary. I also like Trick and Jankos.
Middle Lane: Febiven (FNC vs. GIA, $8,300)
Night has been a big reason for GIANTS revival, but Febiven should be able to put a stop to that today. Anything less than a sweep for Fnatic would be a surprise and Febiven should be able to help carry Fnatic to that result. I'm also using Perkz in my flex role today.
ADC: Zven (G2 vs. OG, $8,200)
I want some more G2 exposure and Zven is the final person that I'm paying up for. He's facing his former team and although xPeke had a good series Thursday, I don't think he presents much of a threat if Zven meets him in lane.
Support: Hylissang (UoL vs. S04, $6,600)
With all the expensive options above we need to find some value in our final two roles. UoL have been inconsistent all split long, but prior to the switch Hylissang had been one of the better supports in the EU. While UoL have had some growing pains on their new roster, he's certainly good enough to get 10+ assists in at least one of the games today.
Team: UoL vs. S04 ($3,300)
We need value again in the team role and while everyone loves Schalke 04 this year, are they really that much better than these other mid level teams? I don't think so, and as a result UoL should be able to at least split this series. Using them as your team allows you to get some big name players in excellent matchups today.
