WE vs. EDG
We are back with the LPL, who will be giving us two-game slates everyday until the end of the split. This is an interesting matchup due to the fact WE brought in an incredible mid laner, but still plan on keeping their Spring Split starters around. The only way for Team WE to go is up, and the 10.11 champion pool bodes well for this team. EDward Gaming is basically keeping their starting roster from last split, but with Junjia. Aodi looked fantastic on tank champions and has great synergy with JunJia. This team had players who fell under the radar as Scout didn't have to carry games as hard because Hope and Meiko were the best bot lane duo in the LPL. Hope also had the best KDA and kill percentage in the entire league. WE's gameplan usually revolves around Beishang and Teacherma roaming to bot lane to help Jiemung get ahead, but against another aggressive team like EDG it will be harder. I say this because even if Teacherma roams bot, that leaves a trio of great players on the top side that can carry this game alone. EDG as a whole has one of the best rosters and a coach in Clearlove that knows the game like the back of his hand.
Prediction: EDG 2-1
EDG Players to Target: Everyone

SN vs. LNG
This game seems to be a little closer until the starting lineup came out. Flandre is not starting and he is the sole carry of this LNG squad. We won't be seeing him a lot this split since the team wanted to trade him, and when that news came out I had this team ranked dead last behind V5. LNG had all sorts of problems last split and it revolves around Maple. Maple was in the bottom spectrum of the league for DPS, DPM, GPM. He plays too conservative for this LPL style. LNG also lost Asura, who is bounds better than Light. SN should have no problem in this matchup since the ADC champions got buffed, meaning Huanfeng is going to lead the league in DPS, DPM, and kills for the ADC role.
Prediction: Suning 2-0
Suning Players to Target: Huanfeng ($7,400), bin ($6,000), Swordart ($5,400)
