Week 4 of the EU LCS is about to begin, these are my picks
on what will be the games to watch:
Day 1- Giants Gaming
(2-4) vs Gambit Gaming (1-5)
Coming out of their first win of the split against H2k, the
seemingly tilting Gambit squad should be going into this game with renewed
confidence and their heads held high. If they can sustain the momentum and
avoid being put behind early they should be able to give a good game to Giants.
The lane to watch will more than likely be top lane since both Cabochard and
Werlyb are key components in their team’s victories. Jungler interaction with
the top lane will definitely be a swinging point in this matchup
Day 1- Unicorns of Love (3-3) vs Roccat (3-3)
This match has a lot of weight in being the match that
decides who is biggest challenge to the top three in Fnatic, SK and Elements.
As it stands UOL are 1-2 against the top three taking a game off Fnatic while Roccat
stand at 0-3 against the top competition. On the flip side however Roccat have
yet to lose against any non-top three team while UOL slipped up to the Wolves
last week. In terms of skill and potential I’d have these two at the same.
Being arguably the two most hyped teams going into the split, this will surely
be a hotly contested match.
Day 2- Copenhagen
Wolves (3-3) vs Fnatic (5-1)
Of all the matches in day two I picked this one because the
Wolves have recently shown a sturdy resilience and a refusal to be defeated
early. Soren in particular has had a really good time in some of the Wolves’
games. The matchups of Freeze vs Steeelback will be interesting to watch as
well as seeing who can leave a bigger map-wide impact between Reignover and
Airwaks. This game can go the way of the Wolves if the right conditions come
into play, a victory here could also really help turn some heads to them being
a dark horse for the playoffs. But Fnatic will be looking to shut out any more
surprises after their loss to the Unicorns last week.
Fantasy Forecast:
If you have any SK or Fnatic members it’s in your best
interest to slot them into your team with high scoring games on the outlook for
both. Elements owners should also be rather happy with what should be fairly
easier games on the cards for them too. While a shock result for the Wolves
against Fnatic could happen, their week also starts against SK so be mindful.
Unicorn and Roccat owners will be hesitant as both heavily impact the other’s
weeks. Giants owners should also be mindful as while SK seems like a sure loss,
Gambit might go either way. Any H2K and MYM owners should avoid fielding those
players/teams as it looks to be fantasy drought for them this week, hard games
as well as lineup changes and internal conflict come to mind.
Reminder- KaSing is now H2k’s starting support over Voidle.
