Today looks like it could be full of ties aside from the H2K/Origen matchup. That matchup likely will result in a sweep for H2K, but we'll see what happens when the games are actually played. For me I'm looking at using multiple players from H2K and GIANTS (as crazy as that sounds).
Top Lane: Odoamne (H2K vs. OG, $7,700)
Odoamne will be the chalk play and for good reason, so if you want to fade him in tournaments, be my guest. I think for cash games he's absolutely the must play in the top lane in what should be an easy win for H2K. You know what you're getting from Odoamne.
Jungle: Jankos (H2K vs. OG, $7,800)
Jankos' involvement throughout the entirety of games always makes him a strong fantasy play. Throw in the fact that this should be a sweep and I think he's an easy choice in the jungle role. He's always looking to gank and set up advantages for his laners and his fantasy owners.
Middle Lane: Ryu (H2K vs. OG, $8,000)
Origen are a mess and PowerOfEvil doesn't really strike much fear into this matchup. Ryu is not the sexiest of names amongst European mid laners, but he's always been a solid, if not overwhelming, player. With other mid laners in tougher situations, I think Ryu is the safest bet in the mid lane today.
ADC: SONSTAR (GIA vs. ROC, $7,600)
I think this could be the most fantasy friendly series of the day and while most people will probably take Steeelback, I think SONSTAR is a nice contrarian play for tournaments. Steeelback will be higher owned, but SONSTAR could easily match or outproduce the ROCCAT AD Carry today.
Support: Hustlin (GIA vs. ROC, $7,200)
Likewise, pairing Hustlin with SONSTAR could result in a good upside combo at a cheap, low-owned price. I mentioned this series could be bloody so the opportunity for a ton of assists is definitely possible.
Team: GIA vs. ROC ($3,500)
ROCCAT are a mess and while GIANTS aren't exactly an elite team, they should be able to take at least one of these games. Throw in the cheap price and you can afford to pay up for H2K players in an excellent matchup.
