SB vs. GEN
Coming into Thursday, Gen.G sit at third place in the LCK rankings with T1 right on their heels so both series are very important for the LCK standings going into playoffs here in a couple weeks. This series is heavily in favor of GEN which will make them a popular play for this slate. Ruler with 170 kills leads not only his team in kills, but the whole LCK this split which can't be understated when looking for the best players on a slate with two favorites. Everyone on GEN have a kill participation above 60 percent which makes them a good team to stack if you believe multiple teamfights will break out.
Prediction to Win: GEN 2-0
GEN Players to Target: Everyone on GEN
AF vs. T1
T1 come into this series also wanting a win to challenge GEN for the third spot in the LCK standings. Afreeca Freecs are three series behind on the standings to get ahead of T1 so there isn't much hope for AF to break into the top 4. There are still no signs of Faker starting in the mid lane since Clozer has been a very good substitute while battling the bottom-tier teams of the LCK. I still think T1 will play Clozer in the mid lane until playoffs or a tougher

There are still no signs of Faker starting in the mid lane since Clozer has been a very good substitute while battling the bottom-tier teams of the LCK. I still think T1 will play Clozer in the mid lane until playoffs or a tougher matchup in the regular season. Teddy leads the team in kills with 160 this split and can be a good pivot off of Ruler in the first game since pricing will be high on both ADC's. AF will still try and come out with a win on the off chance T1 looses some series down the stretch, but I see this being an easy sweep for T1.
Prediction to Win: T1 2-0
T1 Players to Target: Everyone on T1
