Notes for Tonight’s 2AM ET Slate
3 Game (Best of 3) Slate since LPL was cancelled for today.
Games
KT (-385) vs APK (+265)
KT finally lost a game after their extremely hot streak and APK have now won 2 in a row. This series could get bloody and should be an exciting game to watch. KT have really turned it around and I still expect them to win this series, but APK should not be underestimated anymore and they can still win a game. This game could have pretty good upside due to the nature of these two teams. KT is playable in all formats but I would leave APK for GPP. If APK do happen to pick up the win here it will be time to reconsider their position in the league.
Players to watch (KT): Aiming, Bono, Kuro
Players to watch (APK): Hybrid, Ikksu, Cover
SB (-130) vs HLE (-105)
This game is a match up of two rather disappointing teams. It also appears like a good target for a higher scoring game since both these teams give up quite a few points in a loss. It is tough to call but I think whoever wins this game will score very well. I am slightly on Sandbox’s side but it can be hard to roster a lot of them since there are so many sub risks. HLE also has a lot of sub risk, especially in the ADC and MID positions, which makes it hard to use their carries. These teams are both GPP plays in my opinion.
Players to watch (SB): Route, Dove, Punch
Players to watch (HLE): Haru, Lava, Lehends
DRX (+185) vs GEN (-260)
This should be good match to watch between two of the top teams in the LCK. GEN have been extremely good this season, with their only losses coming to T1. They play a very objective focused controlled style of game, and it really can be a pleasure to watch in terms of clean gameplay. DRX fight quite a good amount compared to other LCK teams, and they are very talented in their own right. When matched up only TOP has a disadvantage compared to GEN. I would say this will be a close match and DRX can be a good GPP option, but GEN is the better team overall. Watch out for the Kellin/Life situation.
Players to watch (DRX): Chovy, Deft, Pyosik
Players to watch (GEN): Ruler, Clid, Bdd
Favourite stacks: KT > GEN > SB > HLE > DRX > APK
All teams are in play as it is only a 3 game slate.
