Week 4 is over, and it was another fun week in the LCS. I have a knack for going 2-2 in my 4 leagues and it didn’t change this week (lost by 1.6 in one of them…) EU wasn’t as high scoring as I was hoping they would be, and NA was about the same low scoring as it had been, with the exception of a few teams/players. This was the week of the upset, and the TSM CLG hype train, which didn’t disappoint.

Legendary

(Players that played well or scored much better than their fantasy projections)

Winterfox (especially bot lane)- well this is back to back weeks I called out a bot lane, and then they end up dominating in every way. Gleeb and Altec were 2 of the top 6 highest scorers, and Pobelter and Helios put up monster weeks too. If you had the patience to hold on to Pobelter and Altec and played them this week, then congrats on 130 points.

Impact and Rush – The Korean duo for Impulse fought valiantly in game 1 which Impulse lost by a lot to Winterfox, but in game 2 they continued to play well. They ended up both scoring over 48 points, and they were seperated by .01 pts. These two will be a dangerous duo in the NA scene I expect them to have some good weeks going forward. If you can snag either of these guys I think they are worth a roster spot.

Freeze – Freeze is starting to look like a must start now out of the ADC spot. He has had 2 great weeks, and 1 good week so far this split. CW may not end up being a strong team overall when its all said and done, but it looks like Freeze, Soren, and Airwaks might be decent scoring options for them.

Shut Down

(Players that played poorly or scored lower than their fantasy projections)

C9- C9 played great in the first game, but it was so fast, that they were terrible for fantasy. Then game 2 they played poorly, and scored bad again fantasy wise. At this point I would say all C9 players are worth dropping except Sneaky. Their players will be more for week replacements if they have good match-ups for the week.

Elements (especially Nyph)- This week was awful for Elements in every possible way. If you had them in fantasy you probably lost, if you are a fan of them in the LCS you are disappointed, and if by you happened to place any bets on them this week…well you are out of monies too. They played terrible both games, and they should have won both games with relative ease. I think they will be fine, but this week hurt.

Nukeduck and Jankos- These two guys had put up some big numbers early, and have been pretty consistent in their scoring output. But this week ROCCAT did absolutely nothing. NukeDuck buys Mejai’s soulstealer every single game, and honestly it has only worked like twice for him. I think he needs to rethink that buy on every single AP champ. They both got less than 15 points and were disappointing in their play.

Games of the Week

CW vs. FNC (really fun game to watch, some great skirmishes, big team fights and a surprising outcome)

ELE vs. H2K (This game just blew my mind, didn’t expect the outcome at all)

TSM vs. CLG (This game had it all! Great rotations, smart decisions, great team fights, and even a classic throw. Game lasts about 45 minutes so make sure you have time when you sit down to watch it! It lived up to the hype)
