Games (EDT)

  • 9:00 p.m. Counter Logic Gaming vs. Golden Guardians CLG
  • 9:45 p.m. Team SoloMid vs. Immortals

CLG vs. GG

Last week we got a chance to see if Counter Logic Gaming had improved upon their Spring Split, and unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed. CLG still have problems getting any early advantage, even against Immortals who is the worst team in the league. CLG jungle control is non existent and they have to go against Closer who is easily the second best jungler in NA. Golden Guardians look good now that they brought in a player like Damonte to compliment Closer. Both players are aggressive players who find good fights and get big advantages early to start helping other lanes. Golden Guardians are going to be good this year and this is a game where the mid/jungle is better than CLG.

Prediction: GG Win

GG Players to Target: Damonte ($7,200), Closer ($6,600)

TSM vs. IMT

As stated above, Immortals is the worst team in the league, largely thanks to their lack of leadership. Case in point, Immortals had an early advantage against CLG and promptly threw it away, losing mid and late game fights to an extreme level, then doubling down by attempting to force fights levels and items down from CLG. This should be an easy game for Team SoloMid to bully Immortals in every lane. TSM players are just better than Immortals and in a game like League of Legends, you can tell the different skill level

TSM players are just better than Immortals and in a game like League of Legends, you can tell the different skill level between players as this game takes a lot of mechanical reaction and knowledge.

Prediction: TSM Win

TSM Players to Target: Doublelift ($7,800), Bjergsen ($7,600)
