Team Liquid and Dignitas will clash on Saturday in what should be a one-sided affair. Dignitas have had their moments this season and look like a solid mid-table team, but it’s hard to make a solid case for them ahead of this bout.
Team Liquid’s only slip-up of the season happened at the start of the month when they lost to the reigning LCS champions 100 Thieves. However, they’ve since won five straight games, including against Evil Geniuses on Sunday.
It’s worth noting that Liquid might be without support Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in for this match, but even with that handicap, it’s doubtful that we’ll see an upset. Trust Liquid to secure their sixth win of the season, with at least seven kills to spare.
Team Liquid -6.5 kills

TSM and CLG are tied for last place with a 1-5 record, but these two teams are not equally strong despite what their stats might suggest. The esports betting sites have priced TSM as the favourites to defeat CLG, which is fair, not necessarily because TSM have looked better in their recent outings, but because they have far more talent on the roster.
Admittedly, TSM are struggling with synergy, but the eye test would confirm that CLG are much worse individually and as a unit. We don’t have high expectations for either team, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them finish the season inside the bottom three. But with players such as Mingyi “Spica” Lu, Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon, and Edward “Tactical” Ra, TSM should not be losing against CLG.
