V5 vs. LGD
The V5 hype is coming to an end, as LGD are going to hand them their first lost. V5 are bringing us a new look that many didn't see coming. Their drafts, lane pressure and teamwork are coming together. PPgod has contributed to about 80 percent of their KP%, and he has set his team up for success in a lot of the team fights. The biggest upgrade was their jungle and top where Jungle is heavily focused. Unfortunately, they are running into a team that knows how to play their play-style but better. Garvey started the first game then they brought in Langx, who was outstanding. He held his lane well while peanut was able to force other lanes to get ahead. Their topside synergy and mechanics are vastly superior compared to V5. This is going to be a slugfest, and if this goes to a third game, it makes for a good game stack.
Prediction: LGD 2-0
LGD Players to Target: Everyone
EDG vs. OMG
I am over OMG this split because the players have shown nothing but horrible mechanics. They have the right idea on how to play this meta, but switching out their support player will disrupt the bot lane heavily because H4cker has been abysmal. His jungle control, KP%, first blood rate and pathing all are in the bottom tier of the jungle spot. OMG drafts him an

His jungle control, KP%, first blood rate and pathing all are in the bottom tier of the jungle spot. OMG drafts him an early game champ, but he doesn't try to help other lanes to get kills. EDG threw that game against WE by horrible coaching decisions, but I doubt they make that same mistake again. EDG look like a top-four team in the LPL and are stylistically nightmare for OMG.
Prediction: EDG 2-0
EDG Players to Target: Junjia ($6,800), Hope ($7,600), Meiko ($5,600)
