LPL Matches
ThunderTalk Gaming vs. Rare Atom (-600)
ThunderTalk gaming comes in winning two of their last three but still rank near the bottom in the LPL standings. Rare Atom holds the advantage in baron and dragon rates with TT having a slight herald advantage. TT surprisingly holds the edge in first blood and first turret rates I like Rare Atom to sweep here and they will likely be the lesser owned four-man stack on the night of the two heavy favorites. TT is somewhat of a live dog, but I'm not willing to take a shot there. A TT one-off is also a good way to get contrarian. The BOT lane of iBoy and Hang is my favorite spot for RA as they hold the two highest kill participation rates on this RA squad.
The pick: Rare Atom, 2-0
Top RA plays:
- iBoy - ADC
- Hang - SUP
- Cube - TOP
- Fofo - MID
Top TT plays:
- Xiaopeng - JNG
- Twila - MID
Team WE (-475) vs. eStar
WE is coming off their biggest win of the split after sweeping FPX. eStar has lost five matches in a row and sit right there with the bottom feeders in the LPL. WE holds substantial advantages in all three of the neutral objectives and pretty much dominates eStar in every statistic. We know WE will push for team fights, making them the likely top stack option for tonight, I think the ownership will reflect that. WE can get sloppy so I do like eStar to rack up some kills, even if they do get swept. WE really has advantages in every lane on the rift, I like them to sweep and put up a lot of points while doing so.
The pick: WE, 2-0
Top WE plays:
- Jiumeng - ADC
- beishang - JNG
- Shanks - MID
- Breathe - TOP
- Missing - SUP

Summary
- Another two-gamer with two heavy favorites, definitely not my favorite type of slate. I will be playing light tonight for sure.
- WE likely has the most upside, which gives eStar just as much upside as a dog but I don't think it happens here, best of luck everyone.
