GEN vs. KT

This will be a game to see how KT bounce back. Gen.G lost to DragonX the other day, and they were just out matched in the early game, which has been their problem since the organization began. Ucal and Sohwan did not look good against DYN, as they got bullied in the laning phase and fell behind early. BDD is touted as a top lane kingdom player in the LCK and the one thing casters have preached in the LCK is that mid laners in the league are really good. Ucal and Kuro are both players who aren't good in lane but can impact fights if they don't get crushed early. BDD and Clid are a good duo whose overall player grade is an A in terms of laning, synergy and first blood. I'm not sure what lineup KT will run, but they will need the help of Aiming to win this game as KT mid/jungle duo still need to find some synergy with each other.

Prediction: Gen.G 2-0

Gen.G Players to Target: BDD ($7,800), Clid ($6,800)

RW vs. SN

We have little data on Rogue Warriors but this team looked night and day from the TES game to the IG game. The problem is that their coaching staff is horrid, as they keep switching the roster around and are keeping Haro on the bench. Both teams have played against some tough teams, but the more stable team right now is SN. The one problem with SN is that they avoid a lot of fights to let Huanfeng scale to carry games, but against a team like RW or EDG where they like to play early, SN have a tough time doing anything late. They can take all the objectives they want like the game against EDG, but if they can't utilize their dragon soul in team-fights then they are hopeless. This game is close because these teams have polar opposite play styles, and this will be a game if RW can snowball or SN can mitigate RW early game. 

Prediction: RW 2-1

RW Players to Target: Zwuji ($7,000), Ley ($5,000)

SN Players to Target: Huanfeng ($8,200), SofM ($7,200)

EDG vs. IG

This is another great game to watch, as both teams have looked good of late. EDG did drop a game against SN but still ending up winning the series even after losing every dragon. IG, on the other hand, have changed their play-style from last split when they would never get dragons, as they are second in the league with a 66 percent dragon control. Dragons in this meta are very important, and the fact that IG are playing towards dragons and through other laners instead of TheShy will give them more opportunity to win. IG also are in second in jungle control at 55 percent, which is another big key to this matchup since the mid/jungle positions are very important. IG are still the better team, and they can team-fight anytime they want. This new-look IG with Ning back in the roster makes them scary, as they have pressure throughout the map instead of one lane.

Prediction: IG 2-1

IG Players to Target: Everyone

DWG vs. SP

This is going to be a bloody game, as SP are a wild card. SP vs. HLE was sloppy where SP were gifted a win. Damwon smashed their last game, and their issues from last split seem to have been solved by bringing in Ghost, while canyon is working well with Showmaker again. Damwon can go toe to toe with SP in team fights or they can slow the game down and play more macro. Damwon has the highest upside in the LCK, and this is a spot where they should smash a sloppy team in SP.

Prediction: DWG 2-0

DWG Players to Target: Everyone
