AlphaDraft LoL: Saturday Cheat Sheet
The World Championships role into Saturday with another exciting day of action. SK Telecom T1, Team SoloMid, ROX Tigers, and Counter Logic Gaming come into the day as the biggest favorites, with RNG not far behind. I think the final game on the slate, Flash Wolves vs. Cloud9 should be a very close contest and while I'm leaning towards Flash Wolves winning, I think both teams are useable.
Top Lane: Impact (C9 vs. FW, $7,300)
While I'm not sure who wins this game, I think Impact is a good play in a win or a loss. The game should be close and even while C9 got crushed by SKT Friday Impact finished with a respectable 4/3/4 KDA. He gets an easier matchup in the top lane Saturday and should capitalize on it.
Jungle: mlxg (RNG vs. SSG, $7,600)
mlxg is cheap for a player who can truly carry games, as he showed Friday. I think RNG will beat Samsung Saturday and mlxg should continue his good run of form to start this tournament.
Middle Lane: Bjergsen (TSM vs. SPY, $8,100)
Bjergsen was excellent Friday in TSM's domination of Samsung and faces an even easier test against Splyce today. He's priced behind both KurO and Faker, but should score comparably to the two Korean mid laners. He's also priced behind Huhi, who I'd never use over the king of NA mid laners.
ADC: PraY (ROX vs. G2, $8,100) and Uzi (RNG vs. SSG, $7,900)
If I could pay up for Bang over PraY I probably would, but I can't, so I'll have to settle for another dominate LCK AD carry. No problem. Both players are in games they should win and both provide 10+ kill upside as they've shown in the past.
Support: Mata (RNG vs. SSG, $7,400)
Mata is the same price as he was yesterday and that makes him cheap enough to use once again. He's had a great start to the tournament and I don't see it stopping today against Samsung. GorillA, Wolf, and Aphromoo are all good bets to get 10+ assists as well, but the small savings by using Mata can help in the rest of your lineup.
Team: ROX vs. G2 ($3,600)
I'm paying up a little bit in the team role today, but I like the rest of my lineup enough to do so. While I thought about going down to FW or C9, I'm not positive who wins this game and so I'll take what should be a sure thing in the ROX Tigers.
