Fantasy Value Breakdown
Captain
Favorite: Hans Sama (RGE: $12,000): With a favorable matchup against a middling MAD Lions, Hans Sama should feast especially if he replicates his Kaisa game against Astralis. Value Pick: Upset ($11,400)
Top Lane
Favorite: Wunder (G2: $7,000) Wunder has been playing some amazing League of Legends this split and its hard to not pick him especially when G2 have a winnable matchup. Value Pick: Broken Blade ($6,400)
Jungle
Favorite: Jankos (G2: $7,600) G2 players are always a safe bet and Jankos is up against a Razork who has been average at best this season. If you’re looking to maximize value at the jungle spot I have my eye on Inspired’s good matchup against Elyoya. Value Pick: Inspired ($6,800)
Mid Lane
Favorite: Caps (G2: $7,800) Caps has a great matchup against Vetheo and should be considered the defacto favorite in the position. Problem is he’s expensive and value uptions like Larssen or Nisqy are also solid choices. Value Pick: Larssen ($7,200)
ADC
Favorite: Rekkles (G2: $8,200) I am still in awe that Rekkles left Fnatic for G2, and he has so far lived up to the hype that has come with being a star ADC. I have him in ADC because I feel MSF might upset G2, but he’s still the safest start at the role in the slate. Value Pick: Patrik ($7,400)
Support
Favorite: LIMIT (S04: $5,600) Helping to lead S04 to a surprising 5-2 record, LIMIT has been amazing as a support for Schalke. The role has a lot of good value players like Treatz and Vander, but if you’re looking for the best then there is no other answer. Value Pick: Treatz ($4,400).
TEAM
Favorite: FC Schalke 04 (S04: $5,600) Astralis are 1-6 and Schalke should take advantage of teh weak matchup better than G2 against Misfits. Rogue are the clear value pick at $5,200. Value Pick: Rogue ($5,200)
Stacks:
Inspired and Larssen:
The Rogue stack is a simple combination of the cheap jungler and the star midlaner. This is a great stack if you’re looking to go big on Captain and ADC and if you believe on Rogue supremacy.
Wunder and Jankos
The G2 stack revolves around jungle and top laner as the synergy between the two is undeniable. Wunder has been a rock at top and Jankos has been a star this season.
Rekkles and Mikyx
If you’re going to bet on Rekkles, it is fair to say that Mikyx will also have a monstrous day. Look for the bot lane duo if you want to pick a Hans Sama at Captain and are looking to cheap out in the jungle or mid lane.
Top Picks: Hans Sama, Harssen, Rekkles
Top Value: Inspired, Broken Blade, Neon
