(-1400) JDG v Oh My God! (+700)

(-385) Suning v Bilibili Gaming (+265)

While not as exciting of a slate as compared to Monday morning, there is still a lot to play for. JDG is trying desperately to keep teams like TES and FPX in the rearview mirror and BLG are just on cusp of making the Spring Playoffs. These teams are all making a push to be in better form to take on some of the top teams in the playoffs. 

Game #1 JDG v Oh My God!

Cann’s Pick: JDG 

Cann’s Breakdown: This should be pretty one sided here. OMG has won only three matches thus far and really have looked really poor in most of their series. Eric (bot lane) is one of the only solid performing players on OMG while JDG has really hit their stride during their 5 game win streak. 

Game #2: Suning v Bilibili Gaming

Cann’s Pick: Suning

Cann’s Breakdown: While I think this series may be closer than most expect, I don’t think BLG are playing well enough to match up with Suning head to head in a 3 game series. I like that Suning has begun to play with more agency in the early game and we are getting to see players like Bin have more of an impact.

Fantasy Value Breakdown

Captain

Favorite: LokeN (JDG: $11,700) While normally LokeN gets lost in the hustle and bustle of LPL bot laners, Tuesday morning is his time to shine. He has 136 kills in 31 games with 193 assists which puts him in the top 10 of bot laners. He is playing Eric, who to his credit is playing on a very poor team, is struggling a ton this year with a KDA of 2.6 and a total of 96 deaths. Look for Kanavi to put a priority in the bottom lane and try to hold some control over the dragons. 

Value Pick: Zeka (BLG: $10,500)

Top Lane

Favorite: Zoom (JDG: $6,600) I like Zoom a lot and in discussions with people who are in the Fantasy Alarm Family, I have grown to like him more. I think he is the perfect blend of a player like TheShy’s aggression but plays safe when weak side like Flandre. Zoom has 87 kills and 200 assists on the split as well as one of the better CSing numbers among top laners at 8.2 CSPM. I like the pick and I think Zoom should have a good showing against OMG. 

Value Pick: bin (SN: $6,200) 

Jungle

Favorite: Kanavi (JDG: $7,200) I actually had slept on Kanavi as a carry jungler. He is second among LPL junglers in terms of kills (123) and also has 223 assists to his name as well. I like how he pressures mid lane for Yagao and then can move throughout the map afterwards. This should be a pretty easy win for JDG.

Value Pick: Meteor (BLG: $6,400) 

Mid Lane

Favorite: Yagao (JDG: $7,600) Are you tired about hearing about JDG? I am tired of talking about JDG. I do think this may be a closer gap than would be initially expected. OMG’s mid laner (Wuming) has put up 80+ points on two separate occasions in the past week and one of those was into Team WE. That being said, if you look at the whole body of work Wuming is very hot and cold as a player. There are series where he also only earns 10 points. I would look for Yagao to get early help from Kanavi and then Yagao to work into playing for the team in the later stages of the match. 

Value Pick: Angel (SN: $7,400)   

ADC

Favorite: huanfeng (SN: $7,600) Hooray! Someone not from JDG! I think the upside to huanfeng is definitely his experience. You can tell how collected he is and it allows his support (ON) to move throughout the map and influence other lanes. This split huanfeng has a 7.2 KDA (on a team who has lost 6 series…) as well as the fourth best kill total among LPL bot laners with 157. Aiming has been almost a liability for BLG and definitely producing far less than they had hoped for so if Suning picks up the 2-0, it will be because of what huanfeng was able to do in the bot lane. 

Value Pick: Aiming (BLG: $7,200)

Support

Favorite: LvMao (JDG: $5,800) Simple, he is the best performing support on the slate and also on the highest favorite team on the slate. No brainer here. LvMao should make it into the 300+ assist club on this series pretty easily and I like the late game team fight ability of JDG (especially around dragon) which should lend itself to LvMao getting some good looks for picking up points. 

Value Pick: Mark (BLG: $4,800) 

Team

Favorite: JD Gaming ($5,600)  It is hard to give a fair analysis of this match because of how much OMG are underdogs. I almost feel to a degree I am over selling them to you. Some question marks for JDG will be how will they respond to the herald takes OMG likes to do and can they stack the dragons quickly. While JDG does have an advantage in late game rating, it isn’t a huge number. That being said they do a great job controlling both dragons and barons so I see a lot of objective points being picked up for you here. 

Value Pick: Suning ($5,200)
