LEC Matches
SK (-120) vs. AST (-110)
AST was the surprise of week one going 2-1 with their only loss coming against G2 in which they put up a solid effort. I expect AST to be a popular salary saver on this slate which makes me want to jump on the SK side. SK had some impressive moments last week and as I mentioned last week, averaged one of the highest ppg in wins last split. Keep in mind this split is a completely different meta with the durability patch, but this game will either be long and scrappy or will finish 8-7 in kills and not be optimal at all. I am leaning towards long and scrappy with solid kill totals on both sides.
Top SK plays: Sertuss, JNX, Treatz
Top AST plays: Kobbe, Xerxe, Vizicacsi

VIT (-150) vs. XL (+115)
I will be heavily invested in XL this slate. They scrimmed all the top teams in the world during their offseason Bootcamp and it showed during week one. I am still not sold on VIT and the price of XL makes it easy to stack with whichever team you'd like. Since Mikyx joined the roster last split this XL team has been noticeably better and looks like they could be primed for a great split. VIT's two wins came against the only two winless teams on the split and until they prove it against the top-tier teams I am out on them.
Top VIT plays: Perkz, Alphari
Top XL plays: Patrik, Mikyx, Markoon, Nukeduck, Finn
RGE (-325) vs. MSF (+230)
RGE was one elder fight away from being 0-3 which would have been a shock. They did have a real tough schedule to open the split and I expect they come into week 2 more focussed and looking to make a statement. I had booked MSF to take a step back this split, but I didn't expect an 0-3 start. Vetheo has been able to carry this team in the past and can certainly make it happen in any game but I don't see this being one of them. RGE is my favorite play of this slate and will be loading up on them. Let's see if Odoamne can pick up his first kill of the split after going 0/11 in week one.
Top RGE plays: Comp, Trymbi, Larssen, Malrang

BDS (+475) vs. G2 (-800)
G2 should dominate this game but will be very popular. I could see this game finishing with a lower kill total than some of the other games with a clean win for G2. RGE is cheaper on this slate and is my preferred spend-up. If this game gets messy G2 could certainly find their way into the optimal lineup but with how they have been playing I don't expect to see that here.
Top G2 plays: BrokenBlade, Caps, Targamas, Flakked, Jankos
MAD (+125) vs. FNC (-165)
We finish off the Friday slate with a great game. Both teams went 2-1 last week with MAD one elder dragon fight away from being 3-0 with their new roster. This is a tough game to predict but based on what I saw last week I like MAD to take this one. We should see ownership on both sides here so getting it right will be a big edge. This game should finish with one of the higher kill totals of the day with both teams being willing to fight. This makes the game great for DFS and from a viewing perspective. Elyoya and Nisqy worked great together helping the other lanes gain and push advantages. I expect to see that continue here making them my top choices for MAD.
Top MAD plays: Elyoya, Nisqy, UnForgiven
Top FNC plays: Hylissang, Upset,
Summary
- GPP Stacks: My favorite combinations for GPP stacks are MAD/RGE/SK
- Cash Stacks: For cash, RGE/G2/MAD/XL
Good luck tomorrow RotoBallers!
