Notes for Tonight’s 4/20 LPL 3am ET Slate
3 game slate tonight with playoffs coming soon. These are all very close games and all teams are in play.
LPL
RW (+115) vs LGD (-155)
This is a game where neither team has anything to play for. Both these teams love to fight and have been a good underdog target all season because of it. This game to me feels like it will be a bloody game with both sides having maybe off meta picks and just fighting all game. In a normal game I would favour LGD by a ton, but this is not a normal game. I think it will get out of hand and that plays into both these teams styles. This one can go either way and I slightly lean LGD because of Peanut being better than Haro in most game environments. Both sides are extremely playable and should be good targets for GPP.
Players to watch (RW): Zwuji, Haro, Ley
Players to watch (LGD): Peanut, Kramer, Killua
WE (-120) vs OMG (-115)
The odds have now shifted into WE’s favour very slightly but it is still very close. It will come down to whether or not WE can break down OMG’s defenses like Estar did. If that happens WE’s fighting playstyle will overtake the defence and controlled play of OMG. Otherwise OMG will win a slower, grindier game. Since both teams need this for playoffs it will be an intense match and I can see play slowing down because of it. I like WE because of their style but I am not sold that they will be able to execute it in a tight match like this. I am starting to be on OMG’s side now as the day goes on but it is a slight lean. Both sides can be used and they are both cheap.
Players to watch (WE): Jiumeng, Missing, Teacherma
Players to watch (OMG): icon, Smlz, H4cker
FPX (-240) vs TES (+170)
FPX has been on fire . They haven’t lost a series all season with GimGoon in the lineup and they look so much better with him in the team. TES look great with Jackeylove but with this being their first real test against another top opponent I do not know if they are ready yet. I will take FPX based on their experience and current form. TES has all the talent to hang with FPX but I am not sure they are as cohesive as a team as FPX just yet. Either way TES are very cheap on DK and have massive upside if they were to upset. Both teams are in play but I favour FPX in this one. Both also need this game for playoff seeding so I expect full effort from both teams. It will be a great match to watch.
Players to watch (FPX): Doinb, Lwx, Tian
Players to watch (TES): Knight, Jackeylove, Karsa
Favourite stacks: FPX > LGD > RW > TES > OMG > WE
