(-310) LNG Esports v Oh My God (+225)
In the second of the three OMG makeup matches. On Tuesday, OMG lost their easiest of the make-up matches against FPX. They controlled the first match and it seemed like they had every opportunity to win the series in both of the subsequent matches in the series. In the next two series, they need to beat the 6th ranked LNG on Thursday and then the 2nd ranked RNG. The only option for OMG to make playoffs is to win both series and own the series game win-loss record tiebreaker with FPX.
We have to expect that Oh My God will be coming in with everything they have, but they will be meeting an LNG squad who also has something to gain. If they win, they could move all the way up to 4th but a loss could move them down to 7th and playing in the first knockout rounds in the Spring Playoffs. Plenty of players to pick up and matchups to break down, so let’s dive in!

Fantasy Value Breakdown
Series #1: LNG Esports v Oh My God
Cann’s Pick: LNG Esports (2-0)
Captain (LNG)
Favorite: Light (LNG: $16,800) Picking anyone other than Light here may be seen as criminal. He has an FPPG average of 83.3 and nearly 5 kills per game average. He is the carry for this team and all productivity goes through him. Where Doinb and Tarzan facilitate the team’s larger macro play (zoomed out strategy or approach to the game), Light is the one who delivers in fights. He has a team kill share percentage of nearly 37% which is one of the highest in the LPL. To make an argument for another LNG player here would purely be a contrarian argument and not legitimate.
Value Pick: Doinb (LNG: $15,900)
Captain (OMG)
Favorite: Able (OMG: $15,600) In the split of ADCs outperforming other roles, the favorite from OMG has to be their ADC, Able. His 32% team kill share percentage is admirable and his 3.4 KDA is fair when you look at their 6-8 series record. If he can find his way onto a Zeri or Jinx pick, he has the mechanical skill to carry a game. Unfortunately, most teams playing OMG know that Able is the real key to their late-game success and it will be less likely he gets onto one of these picks.
Value Pick: AKi (OMG: $13,200)
Flex (LNG)
Favorite: Doinb (LNG: $10,600) Doinb is the great facilitator, with his LPL-mid lane leading 281 assists in 39 games played. He has the second-highest kill participation rate at 74.7% and dies less than the average 20% of team deaths. He is so solid in the mid lane and the best benefit from him as a pick is he is a good player that requires low maintenance. You don’t need to be concerned with him getting a preferred pick or if Tarzan will help his lane out. Doinb will maintain his lane priority and then be a key contributor in team fights. Just do not expect him to top any damage or kill charts in this series.
Value Pick: LNG ($6,400)
Flex (OMG)
Favorite: Creme (OMG: $9,600) As one of the two carries for OMG, you have to expect some production out of Creme. I don’t love this pick and I think you could go cheaper, but there is something to be said about Creme’s ability to drop stand-out performances. For most of these performances, you are hoping he gets put on an assassin champion, whose sole goal is to eliminate the enemy carries. If you see him on champions like Akali, Leblanc, or even his Ryze; you could be in for a huge return on a pretty minimal investment. I wouldn’t prioritize Creme as a pickup, as he is facing one of the safest players in the LPL.
Value Pick: shanji (OMG: $8,000)
