Team Liquid have the talent needed to compete for top spots in the league, but their games are messy. Synergy is not there, and while there’s still hope that Liquid can turn things around, we aren’t too confident that it will happen anytime soon.
Cloud9 enter this match on a three-game winning streak and are 6-1 since Week 4, with wins against Dignitas, Immortals, Team Liquid, TSM, 100 Thieves, and again Dignitas. Their only loss came against Golden Guardians, but we aren’t too concerned about that due to C9’s strong showings on Friday and Saturday.
Mid laner Jang “EMENES” Min-soo continues to improve, top laner Ibrahim “Fudge” Allami is a legitimate MVP contender, and overall, Cloud9 look really good. We don’t expect any surprises on Friday – take Cloud9 to secure a comfortable win.
Cloud9 -6.5 kills
COUNTER LOGIC GAMING vs EVIL GENIUSES LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Best Odds: | CLG +137 at BetOnline | EG -188.68 at BetOnline |

Counter Logic Gaming are 7-6 and should have an easy road to the playoffs, but with TSM, 100 Thieves, and Team Liquid all breathing behind their necks, CLG have to keep their momentum going.
A win on Friday would be massive for CLG, but expecting them to beat Evil Geniuses might be too optimistic. Evil Geniuses failed to amaze in Week 5 when they lost against Dignitas and Golden Guardians, but they bounced back last week with wins against TSM and FlyQuest.
Mid laner Joseph Joon “jojopyun” Pyun can be a bit inconsistent sometimes, but when he’s on, Evil Geniuses look like a top-two team in the league. We got a glimpse of what EG are capable of last week, and regardless of their Week 5 slump and occasional blunders, this is a very good team.
Counter Logic Gaming have shown a lot this season, but they’re not quite at EG’s level. With the wind in their sails, Evil Geniuses should come out ahead.
Evil Geniuses -5.5 kills
DIGNITAS vs 100 THIEVES LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Dignitas +225 at BetOnline | 100T -303.03 at BetOnline |

Dignitas have yet to escape the 10th place in the LCS standings, and their defeat against Immortals last week pushed them down even further. Things are just not clicking for Dignitas, who might have a relatively easy schedule ahead, but we don’t expect to see much improvement from them.
It’s tough to figure out what’s happening with Dignitas, but the same can be said for 100 Thieves. As stated by Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, 100T need to improve their early game, which is true, but a small part of their problems.
100 Thieves should reach the playoffs, but with how volatile this team has been, it’s tough to predict how their games will go. Although 100T are undeniably more talented than Dignitas, their games can quickly get out of hand, suggesting that we might be in for a messy affair that can drag out.
