BLG vs. RW
This is as close to a 50/50 game as you can get, even though RW are trending in a positive direction. We have seen both teams get hot, and the key to RW's success is Haro, whose first blood percentage is 74 percent while the team's first blood is 57 percent. Haro leads the junglers in gold differential, as he seems to always gets his comfort pick Graves. The one problem with RW, even though they get first bloods a lot, is that they are always down in gold at 15 minutes, even in some of their wins. They have had a pretty easy schedule, aside from the struggling FPX, and in 75 percent of their games they find one team fight in the late game and win. BLG, on the other hand, have one of the better early game ratings, with first turret and first dragon at 58 percent. BLG still have trouble closing out games, and this is a true test for both teams because in this meta the teams that have a big differential gold lead after 15 minutes tends to win. Both teams have simple paths to victory, as BLG just needs to ward around the jungle to keep tabs on Haro while RW need to clean up their early game

Prediction: BLG 2-1
LNG vs. EDG
As much as EDG have struggled, their past two games have been better as Jiejie provides stability in the top side of the map. XiaoXiang's champion pool is decent enough where he won't get bullied by average top laners, and the rest of the team is made up of solid players. LNG are pretty much dead last in every objective category aside from Dragon control, which EDG holds at 39 percent rate in, which can be a problem depending on what type of dragon it is. EDG are fourth in the league in first bloods (59 percent) and middle of the pack for first turret (52 percent) while LNG are at 39 percent. EDG's early game has proven to be solid across their schedule, but they also have thrown plenty of games around the 30-minute mark because they are constantly late rotating towards dragon. LNG have decent players who know what to do, but they don't have a player who can carry a game at any point like EDGm and that is what separates them apart. EDG should win this easily.
Prediction: EDG 2-0
EDG Players to Target: Everyone
