Games (EDT)
11:00 a.m: G2 (G2) vs. Origen (OG)
4:00 p.m: Team SoloMid (TSM) vs. FlyQuest (FLY)
Expected Lineups: https://www.rotowire.com/daily/esports/lol-lineups.php
This is going to be a bare bones article, as Sunday is a huge chalkfest and I'm on board. Both favorites should dominate.
G2 vs. OG
G2 have had a week to stew on their surprising loss to MAD Lions and will look to get back on board against an Origen team who took care of business against Rogue on Friday. Historically, Origen beat the teams below them in the standings, but cannot match up against the top dogs in the league, G2 and Fnatic. I really don't see this being any different as despite their shocking fall to MAD Lions, I still think G2 are the best team in Europe and will take down Origen, setting up a rematch against MAD next weekend. I think anyone for G2 is in play, while any hope for Origen has to come from the top side of the map with Alphari and Xerxe, opening up Upset to carry in teamfights.
Predicition: G2 3-0
G2 Players to Target: Everyone is in play
OG Players to Target: Alphari ($6,000), Xerxe ($6,400), Upset ($7,400), OG Team ($4,400)
TSM vs. FLY
Likewise, I think Team SoloMid is going to win this matchup pretty handily after an insanely exciting series against 100 Thieves mid week. FlyQuest bounced back against Golden Guardians, but I think them looking good was more a product of their opponents than a product

TSM vs. FLY
Likewise, I think Team SoloMid is going to win this matchup pretty handily after an insanely exciting series against 100 Thieves mid week. FlyQuest bounced back against Golden Guardians, but I think them looking good was more a product of their opponents than a product of themselves. TSM play through the top side with Broken Blade, so look for Dardoch and Bjergsen to roam top side to get him ahead while leaving Kobbe and Biofrost to play the weak side of the map. It's hard to argue with results, so expect Solo to start even though I still proclaim V1per is the better player. Stop me if you've heard this before, but for FLY to win it'll have to be on the back of PowerOfEvil, who does have good historical success against Bjergsen.
Prediction: TSM 3-0
TSM Players to Target: Broken Blade ($6,400), Bjergsen ($7,400), TSM Team ($5,200)
FLY Players to Target: PowerOfEvil ($7,000)
