DIG vs. C9
Cloud9 made CLG look like an academy team Friday night, gaining kills in solo lanes and making the enemy bleed gold and objectives so that they could never take a fight. Cloud9 are going to do the same thing Sunday against a noticeably weaker Dignitas team. Dignitas had an easy matchup against 100 Thieves on Saturday and still couldn't pull out the win despite drafting well and having a gold lead before 20 minutes. Cloud9 will have an easy task moving to 8-0 after the weekend is over.
Prediction to Win: C9
- C9 Players to Target: Everyone
FLY vs. TL
FlyQuest surprisingly pulled out the win against a strong Evil Genuises, showing that Mash is working well with the team and is an overall upgrade. PowerOfEvil put up an amazing performance on Orianna, getting most of the team's kills. Team Liquid won one of the closest games of the season this Summer, ending with a base race with Immortals. I assumed Team Liquid would have won this game easily, but there are holes in their game. If FlyQuest can continue the process from Saturday, they can definitely pull off the upset.
Prediction to Win: FlyQuest
- FLY Players to Target: PowerOfEvil ($7,000), Mash ($6,800) Santorin ($6,000)

CLG vs. TSM
Team Solo Mid played a classic TSM game where they got a gold lead early against Golden Guardians and then went on to split the map with BrokenBlade and Bjergsen. The overall kills weren't good for fantasy scoring, but TSM should have an easy win Sunday against CLG, who had a very bad game against Cloud9 on Friday. DoubleLift had an amazing game, getting eight of the 11 kills for TSM while playing Aphelios, and I assume he won't get the champion on Sunday. DoubleLift is still a good target for this slate since I see CLG being a bit more aggressive because they need to start winning again. Bjergsen and Spica come second and third in the kill department, respectively, and should also be considered.
Prediction to Win: Team Solo Mid
IMT vs. EG
Immortals and Evil Geniuses each lost Saturday, and this will be a bounce-back spot for one of them, with Evil Geniuses coming in with more talent. In the Immortals loss Friday, it was telling that the Macro game needs some work because after the mid game, Immortals were in a good position to win until Team Liquid were able to take the barron and finish with a base race. Evil Geniuses and Immortals have had low kill games of late, and this could be a stay-away for fantasy purposes.
Prediction to Win: EG
- EG Players to Target: Bang ($7,800), Jizuke($7,600), Svenskeren ($6,400)
