I can't be the only one surprised that we are in Week 3 of the LPL Summer Split already can I? Anywho, we have a pair of matches on the slate today that should provide us with some great plays. One team is guarenteed to get their first win of the split as Oh My God will take on Dominus Esports. We will move from the bottom two of the split standings to the top two as one of the only two undefeated teams will be forced into their first loss in the match between Top Esports and LGD Gaming.
Oh My God (-260) vs. Dominus Esports (+185)
Confirmed Staring Lineups
Oh My God: Curse, H4cker, icon, Smlz, cold
Dominus Esports: Chelizi, Xiaopeng, Twila, xubin, Mitsuki
No surprises in the starting lineup for Oh My God this time around. They shouldn't be ready to hit the panic button after their three losses as they came to RNG, EDG and the improved Victory Five. Meanwhile, Bot Laner for Dominus Esports Helper has been demoted to their developmental team and Top Laner Natural has been benched. Bot Laner xubin has been promoted from DMO's developmental team and will make his first ever LPL start as will Top Laner Chelizi who comes over from ViCi Gaming's developmental team. It's clear as to why OMG is laying this much juice, seeing as DMO is starting two players who have never played in LPL action before. Not only will OMG have a team chemistry advantage, but I feel as though they have a nice talent advantage also. My play on the first match of the day is with OMG on the spread as DMO hasn't even won a single map in a match this split, and I don't look for them to grab one here either.
Pick: Oh My God Spread -1.5 (+125)
Top Esports (-360) vs. LGD Gaming (+250)
Confirmed Starting Lineups
Top Esports: 369, Karsa, knight, JackeyLove, yuyanjia
LGD Gaming: Langx, Peanut, xiye, Kramer, Mark
It should be no surprise that the only two remaining undefeated teams so far in the LPL Summer Split won't change a thing when it comes to their starting lineups. Top Esports looks as though they haven't missed a beat since their 11-5 run through the Spring Split as they continue to look great. Meanwhile, the addition of Mid Lander xiye and Support player Mark from DMO has proved to be the right move for a LGD team that massively underperformed in their 5-11 run in the Spring Split. Mid Lander Kramer from LGD leads the entire LPL right now with a KDA of 10.13, and Mark is sixth with a 7.42, Jungler Peanut is eighth with 6.83 and xiye is ninth with 6.73. Top Esports isn't terribly far behind though as Mid Laner knight leads the team in 10th in the LPL with a 6.53 KDA and Jungler Karsa sits 13th with a 6.07 KDA. I personally want no part in trying to pick an outright winner of this match as I feel these are the best two teams in LPL and there isn't much of an advantage either way in any lane. I'm looking towards the over in this match though, as these teams are way too talented to succomb to a sweep.
