LPL starts again on Monday, with FPX mid laner Doinb and SN jungler SofM being your respective options: both superstars of their respective teams. They both have high point marks to hit, so both players may find it hard to hit their marks.
PrizePicks Prop Selections:
Suning Gaming v Invictus Gaming
SofM (SN) - Projected Fantasy Score: 21.5 - OVER
Suning and Invictus is likely to be a relatively close match, with a courteous edge to SN’s side due to IG’s loss of form throughout the spring split. The negative for Suning is their disadvantage in the middle lane, however their strong jungler, and bottom lane allows them to have two winning points to play towards; especially since jungler SofM is known for being aggressive when he needs to be. He’s shown up well in the world championship Grand Finals before, and I think he’ll crack the 22 across the first two games SN will play against IG.
FunPlus Phoenix v Rogue Warriors
Doinb (FPX) - Projected Fantasy Score: 24.5 - UNDER
The biggest issue I perceive in Doinb hitting a 25 across two games is the relative strength of teams; inversely to what you may expect. FPX is an absolute powerhouse, but their dominating strength is likely to be a negative when Doinb needs to grab significant amounts of KP himself. The game is much too likely to end before Doinb hits the threshold he needs in order to get over his projection. FPX is simply too good, for their own good.
