The LCK Summer Playoffs are almost here and we could not be more excited! Today three teams (Nongshin RedForce, T1, and Gen.G) fight for playoff seeding while Hanwha Life Esports seeks to play spoiler. 

Fantasy Value Breakdown 

Captain

Favorite: Faker (T1: $11,000) My two-game slate annoyance continues, but we will make the best of it with Faker available at captain. The midlane king has seen his stock rise with a general trend in the positive direction. If you aren't fully onboard, I love Rascal's upside at Captain for GEN.

Value Pick: Rascal (GENG: $9,600)
 

Top Lane

Favorite: Canna (T1: $6,600) While I love Rascal's upside, Canna's baseline has been a solid 60 FPPG recently. During T1's three-game win streak he has no less than six kills. In fact, his last sub-six kill effort came on July 11th against NS. 
Value Pick: Rascal (GEN: $6,400) 


Jungle

Favorite: Peanut (NS $6,800) I skipped Oner purely because I love the junglers in the second game. Peanut has a great baseline, but his ceiling is 14 kills against a playoff opponent (DWG). If you are looking to avoid stunting your draft, Clid is a valuable selection from GenG. 

Value Pick: Clid (GEN: $6,600) 

Mid Lane

Favorite: Bdd (GEN: $7,200) I think Bdd will hold his own quite well against Gori in the midlane. His champ pool is good (not crazy) but the veteran has been pretty impressive recently. Otherwise, go for the boom/bust option in Chovy even if he's underperforming. 

Value Pick: Chovy (HLE: $7,000)   

ADC

Favorite: Gumayusi (T1: $7,600) Gumayusi has performed admirably since taking the reigns from Teddy at ADC. His recent highlight was a 16 kill performance against GEN a potential early playoff challenger. Ruler feels like fools gold as he has put up impressive numbers against bottom feeders, but has failed to have an impact in important contests. 

Value Pick: Deft (HLE: $7,200) 

Support

Favorite: Keria (T1: $5,800) Picking T1's support is a great move, but like in my Prize Picks article I feel like Life is in line for a big performance. Life's past few contests have had mixed results, but the past two have netted a total of seven kills. 

Value Pick: Life (GEN: $5,400)
 

Team

Favorite: T1 ($5,400)  T1 have the better matchup and are clear favorites to win their contest. GenG I like slightly over NS due to the solo lanes, but it will be a dogfight. 

Value Pick: Gen.G ($5,000)
