MSI Semi-finals

PSG Talon v Royal never Give Up

Mad Lions v DamWon Gaming

It’s taken a few weeks, but we have finally reached the semi-final stage of MSI. We look at two great matchups that could shake out in a few ways. Four games 

Fantasy Value Breakdown 

Captain 

Favorite: Ghost (DWG: $11,400): An absolute freight train, Ghost has been nigh unstoppable this event. With a favorable matchup, the only other understanding pick would be Canyon in jungle. Value Pick: Canyon ($10,200) 

Top Lane

Favorite: Khan (DWG: $6,400) Khan has been incredible, and Hanabi is a fun boom/bust pick if you’re looking to break from the mold. I wouldn’t recommend Hanabi in your main lineup but if you’re making several he is definitely worth a shout. Value Pick: Hanabi ($5,800)

Jungle

Favorite: Wei (RNG: $7,200) Wei has been consistently excellent all tournament and has a very favorable matchup against River. Elyoya has a tough matchup, but he’s been the main driver of their success. Value Pick: Elyoya ($6,400)

Mid Lane

Favorite: Cryin (RNG: $7,400) Cryin has been incredible so far while ShowMaker would also be a strong shout. Maple is a fun upset pick, but realistically he needs an act of God to be relevant.Value Pick: Maple ($6,600)

ADC 

Favorite: Ghost (DWG: $7,600) Ghost has a great matchup and a great record to go on. If you didn’t take him at Captain I implore you to take him at ADC. Crazy is here because you took him at Captain. Value Pick: Carzzy ($7,000)

Support

Favorite: Ming (RNG: $5,800) I love both supports in the RNG v PSG matchup. Kaiwing is an incredible high assist engage support while Ming is going to have a much better team around him.Value Pick: Kaiwing ($5,000). 

TEAM

Favorite: Royal Never Give Up (RNG: $5,200) RNG simply has the easiest pathway to a 2-0. Mad Lions are a more even rival for DWG and while PSG are fun to watch, they fumbled the opportunity to play DWG. Value Pick: Mad LIons ($4,400)

Stacks: 

RNG: Gala, Xiaohu, and Cryin

Gala continues to be a menace in the bot lane while Xiaohu has performed well overall. You can substitute this stack by picking up RNG as a team or opting for Ming if you trust his botlane matchup over BeryL’s. 

DWG: Canyon, Ghost, and BeryL

Its a great stack, but really you only care about Ghost. ShowMaker would be a great addition to this stack if you would prefer Wei from RNG. 

Top Picks: Ghost, Cryin, and RNG

Top Value: Canyon, Hanabi, Elyoya
