Esports – LPL/LCK 4/8 2AM ET Slate

Notes for Tonight’s 4/8 LCK-LPL Slate

5 game slate tonight. Only 2 from the LCK this time around.

LPL

RW (+205) vs VG (-300)

RW are a team that loves to scrap. This makes for a good underdog because they can ramp up the kill score in games rather frequently. However this usually will occur against other teams that like to fight and VG is not one of those. They don’t play super slow, they just play controlled. VG have been improving week by week and now they look like a pretty legitimate team. RW have that fighting spirit in them but VG is the superior team. Forge and iBoy aren’t the most consistent carries but they get the job done most of the time. I will take VG here.

Players to watch (RW): Zwuji, Haro
Players to watch (VG): iBoy, Aix, Hang

OMG (-200) vs SN (+145)

This is the game where most people will be looking for their value. OMG and SN are both pretty good teams but overall OMG has been better this season. I think it is likely that this series will go to 3 games as OMG still make quite a few mistakes. They have very talented individual players but their team play isn’t exactly pristine as of now. I still think they are the better team but it is very close. Suning love to fight this season and it can make for a high scoring series for both sides. This could be a very back and forth scrappy series. SN are a great GPP play.

Players to watch (OMG): icon, h4cker, Smlz
Players to watch (SN): huanfeng, angel, SofM

WE (+255) vs TES (-375)

WE are an interesting team. They have beaten teams below them badly, and lost to every team above them. They have recently lost their last 2 games to BLG and LGD after being a bit overrated in my eyes. TES showed that they were willing to lose a game to RW to try out new strategies and counters, it did not work out at all but in the next game they put their foot down and blew them out of the water. It depends whether or not TES want to experiment again tonight but since playoffs are coming soon I think they will want to improve their standing. TES when on their game is hands down the better team and I will pick them because I think they will be trying their hardest tonight.

Players to watch (WE): beishang, Teacherma, Jiumeng
Players to watch (TES): Knight, Karsa, Photic

LCK

DWG (-650) vs GRF (+385)

Damwon look to have finally settled into the meta with their new roster. They wiped T1 2-0 last series and no matter what T1’s poor draft strategy was, beating T1 is still a massive accomplishment for any team. GRF have shown some promising moments here and there but overall they have rarely translated that to wins. They barely beat APK last time out and could have easily lost that series as well. Damwon do like to push the tempo against other teams so this could be a sneaky game to target. I will take Damwon here.

Players to watch (DWG): Ghost, BeryL, Showmaker
Players to watch (GRF) Viper, Tarzan

GEN (-1400) vs APK (+575)

This is a pretty straight forward game. APK have some people getting excited about them because of their mini win streak recently, but they are still not a great team. They rely on draft to basically win them the game, individually they aren’t great. GEN smashed them in their last match up and I expect similar results tonight. GEN has not lost to an inferior team this year and I wouldn’t expect it to happen here either. GEN should be safe to 2-0.

Players to watch: (GEN): Ruler, Bdd, Clid
Players to watch: (APK): Ikksu. Hybrid

Favourite stacks: TES > VG > DWG > OMG > GEN > SN > RW > WE > GRF > APK
