Fantasy Value Breakdown 

Captain 

Favorite: Scout (EDG: $11,100): It’s not you Loken its me. I would love to put you at your rightful seat (Captain favorite), but your matchup against Jackeylove is too concerning. Scout has a mix of a great matchup and good early results to be trusted upon. Value Pick: Loken ($10,500) 

Top Lane

Favorite: Zoom (JDG: $5,800) Zoom started hot with an 84 fantasy points in a sweep of ThunderTalk Gaming, and should be viable against 369. Otherwise take the ultimate gamble on TheShy who had a shaky week one, but has his usual boundless potential. Value Pick: TheShy ($5,000)

Jungle

Favorite: JieJie (EDG: $7,000) JieJie had a banner week and should keep the good vibes going against iG. Kanavi has never let me down, and his matchup against a yet untested TES is worth gambling on. Value Pick: Kanavi ($6,400)

Mid Lane

Favorite: Bdd (GEN: $7,200) Bdd had a decent start to the season, but he will certainly be tested in a midlane matchup against Chovy. His team is overall better which should propel him to a victory. Otherwise, Yagao is a great darkhorse value pick after he had a great first match.Value Pick: Yagao ($6,200)

ADC 

Favorite: deokdam (NS: $7,400) You’re looking for a pick that is not involved in your stack, and deokdam is calling out to you. Answer the call. He had a serviceable week one and is going to be great against Prince. Value Pick: Ruler ($7,200)

Support

Favorite: Kellin (NS: $5,400) The ADC/Supp for NS has a great matchup and should perform well to add to your Top/mid/capt stacks. Otherwise pickup  Value Pick: Life ($5,000). 

TEAM

Favorite: Gen.G (GENG: $5,600) The matchup and value align really well for GenG. Look to pick up NS if you think they are going to have a more fruitful endeavor against LSB. Value Pick: NS ($5,000)

Stacks: 

JDG: Zoom, Kanavi, Yagao

A great value stack, you are betting on JDG overperforming against Top Esports. The riskiest stack, but it gives you a lot of room to pick up stars to make up for any single member underperforming. 

GENG: Bdd, Rascal, and Clid

GenG have a tough matchup, but have some great star players that are worth the investment. 

EDG: Scout, JieJie, and Viper

Scout and JieJie are as close to must starts as you can get, and Viper was excellent last split. Expect great things out of this EDG stack. 

Top Picks: Scout, JieJie, Bdd

Top Value: Zoom, deokdam, Kellin
