Notes for Today’s 11am ET LEC/LCS Playoff Slate
2 Game Playoff (Best of 5) Slate
Games
MSF (-135) vs RGE (-105)
Both of these teams have been very poor down the stretch. Rogue has lost 4 in a row including losses to 8th and 9th place Schalke and SK, while Misfits have lost 4 of their last 5 (only win against last place VIT). They did not seem to have a great grasp on the meta and took a lot of punishment in the last few weeks of the season. Misfits had an extremely hot streak in the middle of the season where everything ran around Febiven and Razork, but that fizzled out at the end. Teams started figuring that out and I would assume Rogue has as well. Rogue on a good day is a very solid team but recently there haven’t been many good days. With this much time to prepare and practice, I think Rogue has higher potential to be a better team, so I will take them as the winner in this super close match. Both teams are firmly in play though.
Players to watch (MSF): Febiven, Razork, Bvoy
Players to watch (RGE): Larssen, Hans Sama, Inspired
C9 (-1600) vs 100T (+700)
These are basically the same odds as the G2- Mad game the other day, and that one turned out how no one expected. As interesting as that was I do not think it happens again. C9 have dominated the entire season and only took one loss. Now that TL is not in the playoffs they have their best chance at winning the whole thing in a long time. 100T have looked much improved in the second half of the season but I do not think they are on C9’s level. Ssumday is a one man wrecking crew and there is potential he can carry the game for 100T, but I think they are outmatched everywhere else.
Players to watch (C9): Blaber, Nisqy, Zven
Players to watch (100T): Ssumday, Ryoma, Cody Sun
Favourite stacks: C9 > RGE > MSF > 100T
