LCS Spring Split 2016 - The Close

So finally, the Spring split of LCS as well as Fantasy LCS has come to a close, with the promotion tournament and playoffs soon to be played. It was a good split with some great plays and action, as we saw teams struggle it out to win the league. As for Fantasy LCS, I had a pretty good run, especially at the start, and ended up with a 6W – 3L record, coming in third. It was a close battle at the end, but unfortunately my last few weeks didn’t go that well leading to me losing by approximately just 20 points. Hopefully next split, I’ll do even better.

With that I’ll close out the Regular Spring split of LCS with this post. See you guys soon.

NA LCS - Week 9

Week 9 in the NA LCS saw games which were quite even and close, that could have gone either way. It was the last week and so teams had just a few more matches to secure as best a spot as they could as they transitioned to the next season. TIP especially had some really close and bloody games. Some of the games that I enjoyed watching a lot were as follow:

Week 9 - Day 1 (19/03/2016) - Game 1

TIP - REN

The first game of the week was a very important game for both teams as they were quite close to each other in the standings. TIP drafted Nautilus, Lee Sin, Azir, Corki and Braum making their team good at engages as their back line dished out all the damage. To answer the TIP team composition, REN drafted Lulu and Sivir, both of whom are good at disengage and kite, as well as at chasing down fleeing enemies. They had Varus in the mid lane to dish out damage from the back line, with Elise and Trundle rounding out this balanced team composition. The game started out bloody with a lot of early aggression, ganks, and fights as each team tried to secure a lead. Mid game saw all out team fights as the teams started racking up kill after kill leading to brawls which were fun to watch. The game ended as one team managed to accrue enough leads from their earlier skirmishes and closed out to secure the win.

Week 9 - Day 2 (20/03/2016) - Game 3

TIP - IMT

TIP verses IMT saw two teams on almost opposite ends of the league table face off against each other. However, even though the gap between their standings was huge, their spirit to fight and win the game was equal. TIP picked up Kalista as their ADC, who was supported by Braum. Their team composition also consisted of Victor in the mid lane, Elise in the jungle, and a Malphite top. IMT on the other hand drafted Jhin and Karma bot, Corki in the mid lane, Gragas in the jungle, and an Ekko top. Both teams had good damage and engage potential. TIP ran teleport on both their mid and top laners, making use of these early on to create global pressure. IMT answered by rotating and roaming to these lane to answer back. Both teams played well to secure advantages in the early game, with the mid game rolling out with fight after fight as the two went blow for blow. This was a pretty even game, with exciting fights and good plays. The game ended in fanfare as one of the teams dominated the last team fight and won the game off it.

Week 9 – Day 2 (20/03/2016) - Game 5

TSM - NRG

NRG verses TSM started off with TSM drafting a team fighting composition with Kalista, Corki, Poppy, Gragas, and Braum. NRG answered with Trundle, Kindred, Morgana, Jhin, and Azir, who would allow them to sustain and survive TSM’s early engage and then fight back after their opponents had exhausted their initial power against them. The game took some time to start off with early game focus mainly being around objectives rather than fights. Nevertheless, when the fights started, they were as bloody as ever with one of the teams coming out strongly over the other, as they dominated the mid game. The story however changed as late game approached, as the team previously losing now found themselves well scaled, and able to fight back equally. The game after that was close with both teams pushing the other to the limit as one of the two finally managed to close out the game after winning an advantageous team fight.

EU LCS - Week 9

The final week of the EU LCS Spring split 2016 was host to a lot of upsets and close game, with some stomps and flawless victories here and there. The games were fun to watch, as each team played as best as they could to make the final push so as to position themselves better in the next split. Three of the games I enjoyed watching the most are as follow:

Week 9 - Day 1 (17/03/2016) - Game 3

H2K – UOL

H2K verses UOL started off with a pretty standard draft pick with H2K picking up Poppy, and Azir as their solo laners, a Lucian Alistar bot, and Nidalee in the jungle on Jankos to apply early game pressure and create snowball potential for the lanes. UOL on the other hand picked up a double TP composition with Trundle and Lissandra picking up the teleport summoner spell and taking their places in the solo lanes. They had Sivir and Thresh in the bot lane, and a Lee Sin jungle to round out their composition. The match started out with H2K taking the early lead by making better plays across the map, picking up kills and taking objectives which granted them great early pressure. However UOL fought back soon enough taking advantage of some uncharacteristic errors from H2K and the game was pretty even as mid/late game approached. Team fights ensued where players from both teams played well, however after the first few brawls one team managed to get a good enough lead to close out the game after the final skirmish.

Week 9 - Day 1 (17/03/2016) - Game 4

ROC – VIT

The draft phase for this game saw Renekton returning to the rift, played by Fredy122 in the top lane for ROC. ROC went on to pick Azir in the mid lane, Jhin and Alistar bot, and Gragas in the jungle, making them a highly engage heavy, team fight composition with Jhin and Azir dishing out most of the damage. VIT answered with a pick/skirmish comp as they used their draft to pick up LeBlanc mid, Elise jungle, and Thresh support. Sivir provided the mobility and sustained damage, whereas Poppy was drafted as the frontline. The game started off quite even with the balance fluctuating and tilting from side to side. With all these close fights and fluctuations in the lead, the gold difference stayed minimal as both teams brawled throughout the mid/late game. The game ended with just a few thousand gold and a destroyed nexus separating the two teams, leading to a highly entertaining game to watch.

Week 9 - Day 2 (18/03/2016) - Game 5

G2 – UOL

The last game of the regular split G2 verses UOL saw both teams going up against each other in head to head team fights. The G2 composition consisted of Nidalee, Trundle, Lucian, Rammus, and Azir, to answer which UOL picked up Sivir, Janna, Lee Sin, Poppy, and Lissandra running teleport on both their solo laners. Action started off early in the game as expected between these two aggressive teams with both teams trying to out play and out maneuver the other. The game was pretty even till mid game, when UOL started finding pick after pick on G2 by using their global summoner spells. However G2 didn’t back down and replied UOL’s aggression with gusto by answering UOL’s solid questions with equally strong replies. Both teams played well, making full use of the strengths of their team compositions and the game ended after one team managed to make the game deciding play and finally pushing through to victory.

LCS Week 9 - The Final Push

And so the last week of the 2016 LCS Spring split, and this iteration of Fantasy LCS is upon us. Last week to make an impact on the standings, both for the pros, as well as for us Fantasy LCS players. Last week to push hard for the win, before all is settled for this split

Week 8 once again was a very close week for me, with my roster not performing as I had hoped them to. Though I won the week (by a mere 10 points), I didn’t score a lot of points, and am still coming in second. If I am to come first in my league I am to win this week, as well as score 147.36 points more in this week than my brother Aandhee, whose team “AANDHEE” is coming first. Aandhee also needs to lose this week if I am to even hope for the first place spot. On the other hand to stay second place I need to either just win this week, or if I lose, then I need to score not less than 14.94 points than aahsieh’s team TAMBALUND, who is coming in third and is close on my heels and has a chance to take my current second spot if he wins his week and I lose mine. Worst case scenario, I am guaranteed at least third.

MY COMING WEEK

This week I’m going up against alisiddiqi and his team “ALI’S TEAM”, who are currently standing in 4th place. He has quite a few good players, most notable of which are Adrian and Perkz, along with the VIT solo laners Nukeduck and Cabochard, who are doing really well for the past few weeks. His team is projected to score more points than mine, and though I beat him previously this split, with the way the past few week are going for him, as well as for me, I am a little scared that his team might outperform mine. Though my chances to win this week seem bleak, I still have faith in my roster to do well, and help me place at least second, if not first in my league.

SLEEPERS

Unfortunately both Klaj and HuHi didn’t have an amazing week, with their teams going 1W – 1L in the week. As I had mentioned in my previous sleeper pick section, even though Klaj had a good chance to score high points, picking him came with its fair share of risks, mainly due to his lack of experience in the LCS. On the other hand, I had expected the consistent HuHi to perform better, and even though his week wasn’t as appalling, I had expected him to score more points (especially as I was starting him as flex). Though HuHi isn’t coming off an amazing week, and he isn’t one of my selections for this week’s sleeper picks, I would like to have him as an honourable mention for this week. He is going up against NRG (against whom he scored 21.48 points previously), and DIG (who had really long and drawn out games in week 8) and so has a high chance to score a lot of points. He is continuing as part of my starting roster this week.

I have spoken about Shook as a sleeper pick before, and this week I would like to emphasize and draw your attention to him again. Though he has had some bad weeks, especially at the start of this split, Shook has been doing consistently exceptional for the past couple of weeks along with his team, VIT. For the past four weeks, he has scored more than his projected number of points. For example, just last week he scored 34.79 points when he was projected to score just 25 as he went up against G2 and FNC. This week Shook is projected to score 34 points as he goes up against SPY and ROC, and so thus he has great potential to score even higher. He is currently just owned by 47.1% of the leagues, and is starting in just 23.6% of them, and so if he is up, it could prove to be very beneficial to pick and start him.

The other player I would like to draw your attention to is the G2 support Hybrid. Hybrid is currently the third best support in the LCS, and the best support in EU making him valuable enough to be a part of every league, however he is owned by just 57.6% of them and started by only 46.5%. Hybrid is going up against SPY and UOL this week, against whom he previously scored 22.82 and 24.38 points respectively, so he can be expected to score a high number of points. Hybrid has been doing great, and has the potential to do even better, making him a great addition for your team if you decide to pick him up, as he has been for mine.

With that, have a great final week of the 2016 LCS Spring split, and I hope all of you do really well and can be proud of your fantasy run when it ends after the regular NA matches close out on Sunday. Hopefully all of the NA and EU game are good, and we get some interesting and fun tie breakers to close out this split and lead into the Playoffs.

Anyways, that’s enough for this post, good luck on the fantasy fields of justice, and see you all real soon.

NA LCS - Week 8

Week 8 in the NA LCS had some stellar games that went on for longer than they should have, each with their fair share of clutch plays and close calls. Both the DIG games this week were amazingly fun to watch as they went up against FOX on day 1, and IMT on day 2. The top three games to watch in my opinion were as follow:

Week 8 - Day 1 (12/03/2016) - Game 5

FOX - DIG

The last game of Day 1 saw FOX go up against DIG, a game which was important for both teams to win to improve their standings in the split. FOX picked up a heavy teamfight composition in Nautilus, Nidalee, Gangplank, Kalista, and Alistar, with the goal of creating chaotic team fights from which they could come out ahead using their AOE CC and damage. DIG in turn also went for a team fight composition, however theirs was focused more towards poking and shredding the enemy from the back line as they picked up Poppy, Elise, Corki, Jhin, and Braum. The game got active quite soon as numbers started escalating on the board amidst the hilarious duo shout casting of Phreak and Kobe, however the game slowed down quite a bit as it went on, as one team started taking a decent objective lead, even though the gold remained quite close. It took time for the game to ramp up, but as the CS numbers started increasing the game started becoming progressively more interesting. Tons of puns and jokes were delivered, and international records were broken as everyone including the shout casters went crazy and the game came out to an interesting close. This was an amazing game to watch.

Week 8 - Day 2 (13/03/2016) - Game 2

TL - NRG

TL verses NRG was another important game this week for both the teams as they fought hard to improve their standings, as before the week started, they were even in their overall win-loss record. The draft saw NRG pick up Kalista Trundle in the bot lane, and Elise in the jungle, with Nautilus in the top lane, and GBM playing Zed in mid. To fight against NRG’s pick/assassination comp, TL drafted Lulu and Braum to protect their carries, as Corki and Lucian were picked up as the main damage dealers. Dardoch picked up his Lee Sin once again in the jungle, already coming off some solid Lee Sin games. The game started off quite even, with both teams going head to head and blow for blow from the start. Mid game saw some good fights and brawls as early game transitioned into mid game. As close as the mid game was, one of the teams managed to come out on top as they made some good plays cohesively as a team. It was fun to watch as teams played with unity and as one, regardless of whether they were winning the fight/game or losing it. This game had smart plays and good teamwork, which made it fun to watch.

Week 8 – Day 2 (13/03/2016) - Game 4

DIG - IMT

Another DIG game, and another close one, the match started out with Soraka, Kalista, and Gangplank being banned out from the DIG side, and Kindred, Nidalee, and Lulu being banned by IMT in the draft phase. DIG carried out their draft by picking an engage composition with Rammus, Braum, and Gragas, taking up Corki and Jhin to dish out most of the damage and clean up the kills handed to them by the disruption the rest of their team mates planned to cause. To answer DIG, IMT picked up a well-balanced team comp focused around Janna and Sivir who could engage as well as disengage according to the need of the time. Huni picked up Graves in the top lane to be a tanky damage dealer, along with Twisted Fate (TF) and Rek’Sai, who could roam and apply pressure from the mid lane and jungle respectively, allowing the other IMT lanes to snowball and carry later on in the game. The game saw action from quite early on like the previous DIG game this week, and the early game was quite one sided. The early game transitioned to a slow mid game as both teams tried to amass as many advantages as they could, with one team significantly coming out on top of the other. However, the game had more to offer than what seemed till the first 40 minutes, and some good plays and team fights by the team previously losing lead to the game getting quite close. Great team fights, and confident play resulted in a good finish to the match, and an exciting game to watch.

EU LCS - Week 8

Week 8 of the EU LCS saw some highly back and forth games, with the results being decided on a knifes edge. This week saw xPeke filling in for PowerOfEvil in the OG mid lane, as PowerOfEvil wasn’t feeling well, and both the games he played in were worth mentioning. Here are some of the games I found most interesting to watch this week:

Week 8 - Day 1 (10/03/2016) - Game 3

UOL – OG

The draft started off with UOL target banning the OG top laner, and first picking Gragas in the jungle. They continued their draft with a heavy tank line in Alistar and Nautilus. They then drafted Ezreal and Gangplank as their back line damage dealers. To answer the UOL poke/team fight composition OG picked up Trundle and Lucian as their bot lane duo. They then picked up Poppy for the top lane, and Lee Sin for the jungle. OG rounded out their team composition with Corki in the mid lane for xPeke. This game started off as plays were made throughout the map as both teams tried to gain an early advantage that would help them win the late game team fights that were bound to happen between the two team fighting comps. The early game transitioned to a mid/late game which saw a lot of brawls with each team winning some and losing some. The team fights were fun to watch, as the players tried to out maneuver their opponents and squeeze in as many objectives as they could in between. Each team made their fair share of good plays as well as mistakes, as the game ended with one team finally pushing all the way through to victory.

Week 8 - Day 1 (10/03/2016) - Game 4

VIT – G2

The game of the week started with some very unique champions making their way onto the rift for this match. VIT picked up Kalista as their first pick, as G2 answered with Lucian and then Gragas in the jungle. VIT picked up Lee Sin in the jungle, and Janna was picked up as the support, with Nasus and Azir being picked up as the two solo lanes. G2 rounded out their team composition by picking up Bard as their support and Rammus and LeBlanc as their solo lanes. The game started off with a lane swap and early towers going down, with some aggressive plays early on in the game. Skirmishes started early on, as players roamed, rotated and fought to gain as many advantages as they could for their team. Team fights were close and well played, and both teams seemed evenly matched, however, just like every other game of league, this game had to come to an end as well, which it did so as one team finally managed to make a play that lead them to victory.

Week 8 - Day 2 (11/03/2016) - Game 5

ROC – OG

Day two of the week saw xPeke return to the rift once again as OG faced off against ROC. ROC first picked Nidaee in the jungle, and then picked up Lissandra mid, Rammus top, and Sivir Trundle bot. OG answered by taking a Lucian Braum bot lane, with Elise in the jungle, and LeBlanc and Fiora as the solo laners. The game started off with some aggressive plays in the jungle, and then transitioned into a slow early/mid game where most of the highlight plays were due to players getting picked off by not being on the same page with their teammates, and the enemy team capitalizing on their mistakes. However at the 40 minute mark, this slow game turned completely on its head and exploded into one team fight after the other, as the teams clashed repeatedly, taking objectives here and there, and causing distractions as their team mates took even more objectives at other places. The final few minutes of the game were some of the most clutch, edge of the seat moments I’ve ever seen in a league game as the game closed out with a bang.

LCS Week 8 - Almost There

NOTE: contains spoilers of IEM Katowice, so if you haven’t already watched those matches and intend to do so, don’t read the sleeper picks section of this post, until you watch the matches.

Week 7 was a really close week, and I managed to scrape a win by just over 2 points. Though I scored only the second most points this week, I was lucky enough to have been going up against the person who scored the least number of points. Winning is good, and though I am coming in second, earning less points this week has placed me quite far from first place, creating a situation in which I have to cover an 80 point deficit in just two weeks if I am to make a run for first place. Though the chances are bleak, as the person coming in first has recently really been on a roll, I am still hopeful, and will try my best in the coming two weeks to eke out as many advantages as I can to reach the top. With the one week IEM Katowice break done, its time now to speak about week 8 of the LCS.

MY COMING WEEK

This week I face “CARRY US TAMBALUND” once again, led by momoissocool, whom I faced and defeated in my second week. He’s had a very unfortunate fantasy run, and is still win less, mainly due to him being the only one in our league who had to unluckily auto draft. Though momoissocool has some good players such as Shook and Febiven, most of his players have a hard week on paper and are not projected for a lot of points. Though I am not too afraid of momo’s team, and am confident in the performance of my players, I need to also aim to earn a lot of points if I am to continue dreaming to come first in my league. Hopefully this week brings along with it some pleasant surprises.

SLEEPERS

Hylissang and Shook both had a pretty solid week 7, with them scoring around 36 and 42 points respectively. Though UOL comparatively don’t seem to have a very hard week ahead of them as they go up against OG and EL, you should be vary of the fact that Hylissang scored negative points the last time he went up against OG, and that UOL tend to falter somewhere towards the end of the season and so starting him this week might be a little risky. Shook on the other hand has a hard week ahead of him as he goes up against G2 and FNC, however VIT beat both these teams the last time they clashed, and Shook came away with a decent number of points from both those games making around 31 points cumulatively. VIT has been doing really good, and so it can be expected that they will have a lot of blood baths in their games leading to Shook potentially scoring a lot of points for you, making him a good player to start this week. Let’s now continue our talk about sleeper picks, by looking at two more players who have the potential to have an amazing week 8 but are currently flying under the radar.

FNC and CLG are both coming from an intense week of IEM matches, with FNC even going all the way through to the finals against SKT. The sheer number of games that FNC played allowed Klaj, their new support, to mesh in with the team and become a greater part of the 5 man roster. Though Klaj didn’t have a phenomenal start, the experience he has now accumulated with his team as he played together with them has helped him grow, not only as a team player, but also mechanically as he is able to shine individually on the rift now. This week Klaj and FNC go up against GIA and VIT, with GIA not doing too well for themselves this split, and VIT having long, bloody, high point games, leading to Klaj potentially making a good number of points. He is currently owned by just 12.7% of the leagues, and is starting in a mere 6.0% of them, and so it might be a good idea to pick him up and start him if you are looking for a support this week, and are considering to take risks to squeeze in as many points as possible towards the end of this split.

Next up let’s talk about HuHi, the consistent mid laner for CLG. HuHi has performed really well throughout this split for CLG, playing a huge role in their 10-4 record. He’s going up against TL and FOX this week, both of whom CLG beat previously, and is likely to beat them again leading to drawn out games with both FOX and TL who love to fight. CLG was also recently playing at IEM Katowice, and though they didn’t have an amazing tournament for themselves, they are bound to have gained some valuable experience playing against international power houses such as SKT, and QG. HuHi is currently just owned by 39.2% of the leagues, and is being started in only 20.6% of them, which is quite low taking into account his performance and the team he plays for, and so I would advise you to pick him up now if you have a chance as he is a great player to have on your roster, and start this week.

That’s enough for this post, good luck on the fantasy fields of justice.

NA LCS - Week 7

Week 7 in NA was a highly exciting week with a lot of promising matchups. CLG had a tough week ahead of them as they went up against IMT and C9, and as the top teams in the region clashed, the matches that ensued were highly fun and exciting to watch. Here are the top three games in my opinion that were amazing to watch:

Week 7 - Day 1 (27/02/2016) - Game 3

IMT – CLG

The third game of the week saw two of the top two teams in NA fight off against each other with CLG going up against the undefeated IMT. IMT drafted a high damage composition looking to win fights off of sheer mechanics, positioning, and damage. Quinn in the top lane and Lucian ADC provided good damage, with Pobelter playing Lux in the mid lane to provide shields as well as long range poke. Reignover picked up Gragas in the jungle to provide good engages, and Adrian picked up his Soraka support to keep his team healthy and running over sustained team fights. To answer the IMT team, CLG picked up Fiora and LeBlanc in their solo lanes to match their opponents damage and pick off any stragglers. Ezreal ADC was to stay back and poke from the back line, and Udyr jungle and Bard Support were to find and create the engages. The game started off with a bang as both teams bashed their heads against each other to come out on top. The fighting didn’t stop for the entirety of the match with each team confident in their own ability to come out on top in a brawl. Close calls and clutch plays were the theme of the match, as the game came to a very exciting finish.

Week 7 - Day 2 (28/02/2016) - Game 2

C9 – CLG

When this week was starting this match was hyped up to be the battle for second place, and hyped it was justly so as this match delivered. It started off with a draft phase in which both teams had balanced team compositions that had amazing mid game team fight potential. C9 drafted a mid-jungle assassin synergy with LeBlanc and Lee Sin, with a Lulu top, Lucian ADC, and Alistar support. On the other hand CLG ran a double ADC composition with Corki in the mid lane, and Ezreal as ADC. They had Bard for support, Udyr in the jungle, and Darshan brought out his famous Jax in the top lane. Like the previous CLG game, this game started out with a lot of action too, with both teams trying to apply pressure and make their opponents spirits falter. Fights broke out all over the map as the early game started to transition into an even bloodier mid/late game as both teams played each fight to their last breath, out playing each other with their meticulous mechanics. The game was close, and each team fight was an edge of the seat brawl as Kobe and Phreak shoutcasted themselves hoarse due to all the aggression in the game. Amazing engages and phenomenal map wide plays lead to an exhilarating roller coaster of a match which was highly engaging to watch.

Week 7 - Day 2 (28/02/2016) - Game 4

REN – DIG

As the titans of the standings table fought in amazingly close and pumped up matches, teams lower down in the bracket were inspired to fight back equally as hard. REN and DIG faced off against each other in the fourth game of the second day with explosive team comps in the draft phase. REN drafted a Graves top, with a Lissandra mid, and Lucian ADC. They had Nidalee in the jungle and Nautilus supporting and tanking for the team. On the other hand DIG picked up Poppy in the top lane, Victor as mid, and Kog’Maw as ADC. They had Gragas in the jungle and Braum as support for the engages, and to protect the void puppy. The match started off with some unfortunate yet funny mess ups and engage attempts, some which worked, others which failed miserably. However each team fought with confidence and courage making plays back and forth as each team won some fights, leading to a close game. The game ended with some very clutch calls with both teams playing well, but one of them losing their unfortunate nexus at the end.

EU LCS - Week 7

Week 7 of the EU LCS had a few games that stood out quite a bit more than the rest, and lead to some exciting moments over the two days. Like last week, I’ll talk about the ones that I found to be the most interesting to watch. If you have only enough time to watch a few matches, the following are the ones that I believe you should most definitely watch:

Week 7 - Day 1 (25/02/2016) - Game 3

H2K – FNC

H2K verses FNC started with H2K drafting a mid-game play making team composition with a mid lane Corki and his packages, being enabled by a jungle Nidalee and a top Nautilus. They also added Caitlin and Braum in the bot lane to transition their expected early advantages into a siege to choke FNC deeper and deeper within their base so that they could reach and destroy the nexus. FNC answered by picking wave clear and poke of their own, with a mid lane Gangplank, and ADC Ezreal, along with Gragas, Maokai, and Thresh for protection and engage. The game started off with some early kills as both teams made their attempts to test out the waters of how they matched up against their opponents. The game was interesting to watch as it was more about which team made greater mistakes, allowing their opponents to capitalise off of their errors, and thus with each foiled play or misstep, the game drew the viewer more and more into its result.

Week 7 - Day 2 (26/02/2016) - Game 1

OG – G2

For this match OG drafted a slightly unconventional protect the Kog’Maw team, with a Quinn top lane as a second threat. They still had Orianna to provide shields to the void puppy, and a Nautilus support to provide both peel and engage. To round off their comp, Amazing picked up Nidalee in the jungle to apply early game pressure. G2 on the other hand went with their usual aggressive picks without letting the OG power picks scare them. They had good DPS with Fiora and Lucian, and amazing engage potential with Lissandra, Gragas, and Thresh to reach and destroy the enemy Kog’Maw. Early rotations and skirmishes saw quite a few objectives and kills going down to the two teams in the early on, with fights and brawls ensuing amidst the shoutcasting of Quickshot and Stress all through the game. Each team made good calls and good plays, as they tried to put enough pressure on their opponents so that they would falter, however no team was ready to give up and the match was fun to watch all the way till the nexus fell.

Week 7 - Day 2 (26/02/2016) - Game 2

GIA – H2K

GIA drafted a high damage triple ADC team for this match, with Graves top, Corki mid, and Ezreal bot, rounding their team composition off with Nidalee in the jungle and Janna in the support role for sustain and poke. On the other hand H2K drafted a balanced team composition to keep themselves viable in all stages of the game. Ryu played Ahri in the mid lane, and FORG1VENGRE played Caitlin ADC, making it a two threat team. These two damage dealers were protected by a Nautilus top and Braum support, with Lee Sin applying pressure from the jungle for his lanes. The game started with a double lane swap, and so the 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 lanes were maintained, which lead to a slower early game than most of the other matches. However, it wasn’t too long before the two teams started fighting each other in back and forth team fights. Where one second it seemed that one team had the advantage, the next second the other team would come out on top leading to a very close game which could have gone either side. Turn arounds and good plays kept the game highly exciting and fun to watch.

LCS Week 7 - You Fall So That You Can Get Back Up

Week 6 was a sad week. By week 5 I was in first place and was also the top scoring player in my league. Week 6 saw me loose to the player with the lowest number of points in my league, and drop down to third place. Oh well, I guess what’s done is done… There are still three weeks left, and there’s still a chance for me to win the league. So without further ado, let’s move on to the next week, week 7.

MY COMING WEEK

This week I am up against Tamaki Senpai, whose team FANTASY LCS TEAM is currently 4th, just below me in the standings. Her solo laners Froggen and Odoamne are doing really well, especially Froggen who has made more than 50 points per week after he made his return. Her team has a chance to do really well, and so even though I might have to take risks so that I can make the most points this week, I need to be careful with who I start.

SLEEPERS

Let’s talk about some sleeper picks now. Last week I talked about Steeleback and Keith, both of whom had an amazing week, and hopefully have many more to follow. FOX is on a roll right now, though they are up against IMT and TSM this week who might prove to be tough competition. However, with the original roster back together it is possible that FOX might give IMT and TSM a run for their money, leading to some long high kill games for Keith. UOL on the other hand probably has an easy week against SPY and ROC, and so Steeleback should probably do well.

Speaking of Steeleback, his support Hylissang is no push over as well, often leading the team in engages and setting the fights up for them. He has been doing well this split and has had some high scoring weeks. As mentioned before, UOL are going up against ROC and SPY, both of whom they previously beat in the split and made good points against. Though UOL is changing their jungler once again this week by replacing Rudy with Loulex, UOL has shown that they can adapt to such changes really well in the past. Hylissang has managed to coordinate well with all the junglers he has played with this split, and should be able to make some amazing map wide plays with Loulex as well who is not short of experience when it comes to the LCS. He has been performing consistently for his team, and has been outperforming most other supports that have been picked up over him. Hylissang is owned by 51.5% of the leagues and is starting in 34.9% of them this week, so if he is up for grabs and if you need a good support, this is a really good week to pick up him up and start in.

VIT’s jungler Shook has a good team around him this split which has been working well together, leading to a 9W – 3L record. Shook has thus benefitted greatly from his team, allowing him to become even better as the split goes on. This week VIT face GIA and EL, both of whom they defeated the last time they crossed paths. With VIT being on the up and up, an easy week on paper should lead to the aggressive Shook scoring a good number of points, and is thus a good pick to start this week. He is currently owned by just 45.8% of the leagues and is starting in only 25.1% of them, so it might be a good idea to pick up this explosive player, at least for this week, and use him to make some extra points in the last few weeks of this split.

That’s enough for this post, good luck on the fantasy fields of justice.

NA LCS - Week 6

As talked about in the previous post regarding the week 6 EU LCS matches, this week I am testing out a slightly different format than what I did last week, and so instead of talking about each match, I’ll try to give a more detailed approach to some of the best matches that I believe were played in NA LCS, just as I did for the EU LCS matches two days ago. Week 6 NA saw a variety of good and unique picks, which made the matches a lot of fun to watch. There were a couple of really close matches which could have gone either way and came down to the last team fight, as well as many high kill matches and amazing plays. It was good to see each team give their all and fight back even in losing situations, which kept the matches interesting and exciting to watch. Thus, three of the matches I enjoyed the most were:

Week 6 - Day 1 (20/02/2016) - Game 3

TSM – C9

TSM verses C9 saw two of NA’s oldest teams battle it out on the rift to assert their dominance on the LCS scene. TSM’s ADC Double lift picked up the highly contested Kog’Maw pick, however instead of picking protective champions like Lulu or Janna, TSM chose to distribute their threats by having Bjergsen pick up LeBlanc, and the top, jungle and support pick up Poppy, Gragas and Braum respectively. Their team composition was about giving Kog’Maw time to DPS the enemy team by constantly applying pressure, instead of shielding and protecting their little but destructive puppy. To answer the TSM aggression, C9 picked up an engage and damage heavy comp as well, with Balls on Gangplank, and Sneaky on Kalista. Rush on Lee Sin, and Jensen on TF were to serve as early game pressure by roaming and ganking lanes to snowball the team, and Hai picked up Soraka to keep the entire team healthy if someone got focused down. Seeing that each team had drafted to brawl and fight till their last breath, the game that followed was an extremely bloody and fast paced one with back and forth team fights and kills all around. Each team pushed hard against the other to infiltrate the enemy base and take the win. This game was one of the best games of this week, and kept me at the edge of my seat all the way till the end.

Week 6 - Day 1 (20/02/2016) - Game 5

TL – FOX

For this match TL drafted a heavy engage composition, with Poppy, Gragas, and Alistar who could go in and disrupt the enemy team from within. They also had Fenix on Syndra in the mid lane, and an Ezreal ADC played by Piglet to provide the backline damage for their team. To fight against this disruptive team composition, FOX chose to distribute their threats with Corki in the mid lane, and Lucian as the ADC. They also had Elise and her band of spiders in the jungle who could jump in on the enemy carries and distract them, as well as Nautilus top, and Braum support who could crowd control the enemy team from a distance and stifle the damage their opponents could deal if their own carries got exposed. Once again, this was quite a close game with each team managing to take team fights off the other, and the gold staying really close. The teams clashed as they tried to keep their carries alive for as long as they could to win them the fights, while the carries tried to take out their counterparts who were set up for them by their front line. The back and forth swings of this game is what made it a good watch as it was all up to the carries to lead their team to victory.

Week 6 - Day 2 (21/02/2016) - Game 3

NRG – C9

Both teams came into this game with a balanced team composition, with mixed protection and damage potential. Where NRG had Ezreal and Graves as damage dealers, they had also drafted champions like Alistar and Nautilus as their beefy frontline which would serve as engage and peel. To round out this composition NRG’s mid laner GBM chose to go Karma, who could both protect her team, as well as damage any opponent who over aggressed on them. On the other side, C9 had TF and Lucian as their damage dealers, with Lee Sin applying pressure and engage duties from the jungle. Balls played Lulu in this game, and Hai played a Morgana support to protect the back line from getting crowd controlled and bursted, so that they would have enough time to deal out damage. Just like the balanced team compositions, the match was like a balance as well, staying pretty much in a bloodbath of an equilibrium for most of the match as the teams kept fighting to gain a slight advantage over their opponent that would tip the scales to their side and allow them to push for the win. It was hard to tell which team would win the game till the nexus fell, making this match quite entertaining to watch.

EU LCS - Week 6

It was week 6 of the EU LCS, and there were some good and promising matches that were to happen over the two days. With this week, I’m going to test out a slightly different format than what I did last week, so instead of talking about each match, I’ll try to give a more detailed approach to some of the best matches that I believe were played in EU and NA. These matches would not only be selected on the basis how well the players played, but will also try to highlight the ones which were fun to watch and entertaining. With that, let’s get on with the three matches I will talk about that took place in the EU LCS this week.

Week 6 - Day 1 (18/02/2016) - Game 4

FNC – G2

Day 1 game 4 started off with some unique picks in champ select as G2’s Trick ran a Rumble in the jungle. They also had Nautilus top and Trundle support to create a tanky front line that could enable sustained team fights. FNC on the other hand, ran a late game hyper carry Kog’Maw on Rekkles, with a Maokai top, and Alistar support, and so drafted a team with which they could brawl with the G2 team and trump them in the late game team fights. To accelerate the late game potential of Kog’Maw, Rekkles decided to start the game with the farming item Cull, which would allow him to farm up quickly, though at the same time it would mean that his lane would need to play passive in the early minutes of the game. This decision had a big impact on the game that decided how the early - mid game would go forth from then. From mid game onwards, this game saw some amazing team fights which had both teams fighting to their last breath to come out on top. The game became a fight between FNC’s ability to keep Rekkles’ Kog’Maw alive, and G2’s attempts at killing the void puppy before it could shred them, which lead to some great plays and close battles. The game could have gone either way, and was highly entertaining to watch.

Week 6 - Day 1 (18/02/2016) - Game 5

VIT – H2K

The next game between VIT and H2K was equally as close, with team fights that couldn’t be decided till the last auto attack or spell was dealt. VIT’s team composition consisted of a unique form of burst potential in my eyes, with champions like Graves top and Corki ADC which can burst from close – mid range, and champions like Zilean mid and Bard support who can set them up and keep them alive. In addition to this, they had a Nidalee in the jungle who could help her lanes get ahead. On the other side H2K was running a Kog’Maw ADC on Forg1vengre, and had great late game setup for him with a Malphite top, and a Lissandra in the mid lane. Kog had his protection with Vander playing Thresh support, and to round off the comp, Elise and her band of spiders was to keep the early game pressure for their side from the jungle. The match played out like a visit to the local theme park, with each team fight being a slippery see saw, as they kept going back and forth, and back and forth with kills sliding and falling all around the map, and both teams trying their best to stay on top of the other. Barons and Dragons littered the game like mini rides and swings in the playground, as the game swung from one side to the other. It felt as if both teams had a season pass for Summoners Rift, and intended to make full use of it, as they played the game to their hearts content for as long as they had before they had to call it a day and go home. Like any theme park, this match was highly exciting, and great fun to watch.

Week 6 - Day 2 (19/02/2016) - Game 1

GIA – EL

The first game of day 2 between GIA and EL saw some unique team compositions making their way onto the rift. GIA top laner Atom brought Rammus along with him, against the Graves played by EL top laner Steve. On the other hand, the mid lane saw a dastardly pirate going up against a royal bird as Eika picked up Azir against xPePii’s Gangplank. Before the onlookers got much time to settle into the game, the two teams started making aggressive plays all around the map with each team using its crowd control abilities to gank and take the fight first, to give them a lead over the other team. Come mid game, bloody team fights started as the teams made attempts to acquire objectives that would further their lead. It was a battle of which team’s crowd and zone control would win over the others, as Cannon Barrages, Glacial Fissures, Tempered Fates and Emperor’s Divides were used to give a personal touch to the rift. Each team made a valiant effort to have their screen painted with the victory animation, and the result was a beautiful game to watch and experience.

LCS Week 6 - Halfway There

With week 5, half of the spring split has passed, and currently I am positioned at first place in my fantasy league, approximately 12 points over second place. Week 5 was thus a good success for me, and hopefully week 6 will be an even bigger one…

 THE WEEK IN GENERAL

H2K Ryu is back this week, after a hiatus of a few weeks and is projected for 40 points, and though 76.7% of the leagues own him, only 46.5% of them are starting him. H2K is first in the standings, tied with G2, so it might be a good idea to start the Korean mid-laner. Ryu will face VIT and OG this week, both of which H2K have previously defeated.

 MY COMING WEEK

My opponent this week is team Tambaland, of mTamba1. mTamba1 is currently 6th in our eight man league, though he has the least points scored in total. Although he has some good players on his roster, quite a few of his star picks haven’t yet gone off this split such as Soaz and Hjarnan, both of whom, along with most of his team, have a tough week ahead of them. On the other hand, my team is starting to pick up great pace, with an amazing performance by Rekkles, Reignover, and Vizicsacsi in the previous week, which I hope they don’t fall from. Each of them have atleast one team against them that are bottom 3 in their respective league this week, which should hopefully help me extend my lead.

SLEEPERS

It’s time to talk about sleeper picks once again. Last week I talked about TL’s Dardoch, and G2’s Emperor. Though G2 lost one game, and Emperor didn’t really have that good a score in that game, he still managed to come back in the second game to make a total of around 29 points in the week, which showed his ability to get back on his feet after a bad showing. Dardoch too didn’t have an amazing week, in fact it was his worst week this split. However, you have to give the guy some credit, as even in his worst week, he managed to make 24 points, which is commendable, and I hope he learns from his defeats and climbs on up from here.

The two players I would like to talk briefly about for this week, are UOL’s Steeleback, and FOX’s Keith.

UOL as a team has been doing amazing this split, and its ADC Steeleback has been performing highly well and greater than expectations. In fact Steeleback is currently the highest point scorer in the EU LCS, and 5th highest with the EU and NA LCS combined, with 204.82 points in 5 weeks. That’s an average of approximately 40 points per week, with the most recent two weeks being his best. Currently, Steeleback is owned by 59.3% of the leagues, however he is just being started in 44.2% of the leagues. Next week he is playing against GIA and VIT, both of whom UOL defeated in the first half of the split. UOL is tied with VIT in the standings, so hopefully a close game with them should result in bloody team fights and a lot of points, like the first time these two teams clashed. As for GIA, they are currently tied at the bottom of the table, and have not yet found their synergy and should be an easy win with hopefully a lot of points for the carries. Therefore, if Steeleback is still open in your league, he is a very good player to pick up and start in your team at the moment.

Keith is a player who has always performed well on stage as a plug and play ADC, having played on TSM and TL as a substitute before this split. This split however, Keith has the chance to prove his skills as the starting ADC of FOX. Unfortunately for him, rules and regulations caused FOX to loose most of its starting roster for most of the split up till now, and thus till week 4 FOX was not doing too well. Week 5 however, saw a renewed FOX, as finally its entire roster got to step on the LCS stage together once again after week 1, and managed to handily get a 2W - 0L week. A united FOX, saw a renewed Keith, who has scored more than 30 points each week he has played with the actual FOX line-up, who are hopefully here now to stay. Keith therefore, is just getting started and has great potential to grow. He is just owned by 34.0% of the leagues, and is stating in only 14.7% of them. Week 6 Keith plays against TL and TIP, both of whom he has scored high points against, with 24.77 against TIP (against whom they won), and 28.22 against TL (against whom they lost). Though Keith might be a risky pick to take up and start in your team, it is a bet that could pay off well, and this week is as best a time as ever to take that risk.

That’s enough for this post, good luck on the fantasy fields of justice.

NA LCS - Week 5

Week 5 of the NA LCS, had quite a few good games, and one or two great games. The most interesting and fun game to watch however was the C9 verses IMT game on day 2. Every second of that game was exciting, and had me on the edge of my seat, and every kill and play was worth watching, which there were a lot of as well. If you can watch just one game, then I would recommend you watch this one, as it was highly entertaining and was one of the best games I have seen this entire split.

Day 1 – (13/02/2016)

FOX (vs) REN

Game one of day one saw Froggen coming back to the rift. FOX finally had its star mid laner back in the line-up, and were ready to prove their strength as a team. But REN wasn’t going to make things easy for them, as each team tried to deny the other off objectives and farm in the early game. However, soon the teams started clashing against each other in team wide brawls, and the winning team ended out the game after winning a few team fights strongly.

NRG (vs) CLG

NRG verses CLG started off quite slow, with both teams focused on farming. Come mid game however, team fights started exploding everywhere as each team tried to make a play that would net them the win. The game got quite close, as each team made their own share of mistakes which the other team capitalised on, but well maneuvered team fights towards the end of the game helped the winning team achieve victory.

C9 (vs) TL

The game got bloody in minute one, and after some minutes of peaceful global farming sessions, the game started to get messy with low health fights which could have gone either way. However, the winning team always somehow managed to end each fight with some advantage or other, and used that to close out the game in quick fashion.

TI (vs) TSM

The draft phase for this game had some good picks, with Bjergsen’s Zilean going up against Pirean’s LeBlanc. The action started early with each team having a specific team comp with a specific win condition. Where TIP looked to win fights based on assassination and quick burst potential, TSM had champions such as Kindred, Zilean, and Alistar whose aim was to tank up the initial TIP burst and win over sustained fights. The game was quite close and interesting to watch.

IMT (vs) DIG

IMT were coming into this game on an 8 game winning streak and looking unstoppable, however their opponents DIG are known to cause upsets, and they were looking to give IMT their first loss of the split. The game was bloody and aggressive as kills went across to both teams all over the map. Both teams gave a good fight, but at the end of the day only one could win the game.

DAY 2 – (14/02/2016)

FOX (vs) NRG

The first game of day two saw Froggen playing his second game of the week after coming back the previous day, and if there’s Froggen in the game, there’s bound to be some farming going on. The early game was more rotation and farm heavy as both teams tried to win in the objectives race. However, mid game saw some really good team work and team fights, which lead the winning team to their victory.

TSM (vs) CLG

The TSM verses CLG game started off with an off-meta Ashe pick for CLG’s ADC Stixxay, though on paper the TSM line up managed to start the game with a stronger draft phase. The picks set up a good and active early game, and laning phase, which lead to drawn out yet bloody team fights, which were well fought and well executed, leading to a decisive win at the end.

C9 (vs) IMT

If there’s any game you should definitely watch this NA week, its C9 verses IMT. The game promised awesomeness right from the draft phase, when Sneaky picked up Jhin, which he was rumored to be spamming in solo queue. Calling the game “bloody” would be an understatement. The game was a blood bath from start to end all over the map, with each team trading kills over the other. The team fights were interesting and thrilling, with both teams answering blow for blow, and regardless of who won, the game was extremely fun to watch.

TL (vs) REN

TL verses REN started off with TL drafting a triple ADC team comp, against an engage heavy draft from REN’s side. The game started off with a few kills which escalated exponentially. Dominant team fights, and good mechanical plays dictated the game to conclude in a decisive win for the victors (Though no one was playing Victor in this game).

TIP (vs) DIG

TIP verses DIG started out quite close with each team answering each other’s plays, as each team tried to create a move that would allow them to come out over their opponent. Neither team was ready to back down, but eventually one team managed to get their initiations off and capitalise on them before the other could answer back in time, which led to them winning the game.

[weeklylcsupdate-blog]

EU LCS - Week 5

Week 5 of the EU LCS was host to games which in my opinion, could easily be categorized towards one of two extremes on the spectrum of excitement, with some being edge of the seat interesting, whereas the rest slow and uneventful. Both UOL and FNC gave highly entertaining games to watch on both days, with the match-up of UOL verses FNC being one of my favorite games to watch this week, as I hoped and prayed that both Visicsacsi and Rekkles did well from a fantasy stand point, as their teams battled each other.

Day 1 - (11/02/2016)

UOL (vs) H2K

The day started off with a great match between UOL and H2K where both teams played well and fought bloody battles till their last breath. It was a close game from start to finish, with some amazing fights around baron, and good mechanical plays all around. It feels like any game UOL is a part of never fails to place one at the edge of their seat.

FNC (vs) EL

The second game between FNC and EL however, though equally interesting, played out in the exact opposite fashion, where both teams were focused more on methodical objective control rather than heart stopping team fights. Anyone interested in learning how to push lanes as a tank and create opportunities using items such as the Zz’Rot Portal and Banner of Command should definitely watch this match.

OG (vs) SPY

Compared to the two games before, this game was comparatively less interesting and more straightforward. It was nostalgic to see xPeke on stage as he filled in as temporary coach, and could be seen leading the picks and bans from OG’s side. This was the first of two games on day 1 where GP was picked by a team.

G2 (vs) VIT

The game between G2 and VIT started off with interesting picks, this being the second game GP was picked in. He was picked for a lane which wasn’t the top lane, and highly impacted the game with his global ults and explosive barrels. It was pretty even till mid game, with both sides trying their best to trump the other, but the better side slowly but surely won at the end by accumulating many small leads.

ROC (vs) GIA

The last game of the day was a battle between the two currently lowest ranked teams. GIA was coming into the game without a single win, whereas ROC was just one game in the lead, so this was a very important match for either team to win. Just like the two teams in their rankings, the game was quite close, with emotions running high all around, and pauses at clutch moments increasing the tension in the atmosphere. Cut throat baron brawls and bloody team fights ended up the day with a surprise winner.

Day 2 - (12/02/2016)

OG (vs) VIT

Day 2 started off with some cheese picks in this game, as Zilean was picked in the mid lane, and a top lane Graves graced the rift with his destructive shot gun. The game consisted of good rotations and tower dives. The team with a better understanding of their team-comp, ended up winning the game by out playing their opponents handily.

UOL (vs) FNC

The second game of day 2 started with a draft phase that set up both teams for good team fights, which is what the game turned out to be all about. After a few early minutes of rotations and tower pushing, the game opened up to a spray of exciting, bloody, and balanced massacres, where both teams fought tooth and nail to come out on top. The game was ripe with baron fights, picks, misfortunes (not the champion), and anything you could ask for, and was great fun to watch.

G2 (vs) H2K

The next game had G2 facing off against H2K, in a battle amongst the titans at the top of the table, and I have to say that it delivered to the hype. Both teams came into the game full of confidence, with an interesting draft phase and an active early game, with aggressive counter jungling. There were good mechanical plays on both sides of the rift as barons were stolen, and team fights turned around. It was highly entertaining to see which side came out ahead by the end of the game.

EL (vs) ROC

STEVE!!!!! (Arguably the most interesting part of this game). The game between EL and ROC started off slow early, with not much action, carrying into a mid game which was quite one sided. However, the game came to a lull after the half way point with both teams making mistakes and drawing out time. Eventually though, one team managed to find an opportunity through all the mistakes that were being made, and pushed through to victory.

SPY (vs) GIA

Like the previous game, SPY verses GIA started off pretty slow as well all the way to mid game, where the game went back and forth between both the teams for some time. Though the majority of the game was passive, one team eventually managed to find the team fight that they could use to shortly push all the way to victory.

LCS Week 5 - Victory Is Not Enough

Week 5 of the LCS is about to start in a few hours, so here are how things stand…

MY COMING WEEK

This week I’m up against alaknilu, and his team Karachi Kings. His fantasy run isn’t going that great till now, though he has some good players on his team with Piglet being a fantasy beast. Currently I’m placed second in my league, with just 10 points behind my brother Aandhee, so not only do I want to get a win this week, but I also want to accrue enough points to overtake him. For this I need Rekkles to perform even better than how he has been performing this split, which I hope he will against EL and UOL.

SLEEPERS

Let’s talk about some sleeper picks now, who are doing great in this split and can fulfill your fantasy dreams. Two amazing players to have in any team in my opinion are TL’s Dardoch, and G2’s Emperor.

Dardoch is an up and coming NA jungler, who I think is going to go on to have a great impact in competitive league. He was crowned Rookie of the week for week 2, and has a 20 point/game average for the 7 games that he has played, currently ranking 7th in average points per game. He was playing on Team Liquid’s challenger team and was brought in to replace IWDominate in the middle of the split, and took no time in getting accustomed to the LCS. In these few weeks that we have seen him play, he has carried his team hard on champions such as Nidalee (netting more than 30 points in one game with a score of 10/0/6), and has outplayed other junglers with his amazingly mechanical and well thought out plays. Hell, this guy got a Pentakill as Rek’Sai in a challenger game, and it really wouldn’t surprise me if he got one in the LCS. In addition to all this, TL is up against C9 and REN this week, so Dardoch has a good week ahead of him. He is currently owned in just 51.2% of the leagues, and so if he is up, I would highly recommend that you add him to your roster.

G2 is one of the newly inculcated teams in the EU LCS. They secured their spot through the EU Challenger Series and the 2016 EU LCS Spring Promotion Tournament. However, being a new team has not phased them a bit, and they sit at number 1 with H2K in the standings after the first 4 weeks of games. There is a lot to speak on this team, but the rest of this paragraph is going to be dedicated to their ADC Emperor. An extremely talented Korean league of legends player, Emperor has played from teams worldwide, including CJ Entus Blaze of Korea, and Team Dragon Knights (TDK) of NA. Now he has come to EU to play for G2, and has been dominating the scene with his teammates, with an average of 18.58 points/game. That’s more points/game than well-known ADC’s such as FORG1VENGRE, Altec, and Zven (previously Niels), making him an amazing starter ADC or flex pick. Though G2 is up against some good competition this week in VIT and H2K, there is a lot of potential for Emperor to hit high numbers in some bloody matches. He’s only owned in 48.7% of the leagues, so pick him up if you need a good ADC to add to your fantasy roster.

That’s enough for this post, good luck on the fantasy fields of justice.
