Summer 2016 - Fantasy LCS Week 2 Discussion
Hi there!
The purpose of this forum is exactly what the title describes: to help people set up their best line up possible heading into the next week of games. We've all experienced a moment where we are choosing between two players, not sure which one will have the better turn-out with regards to their current match-ups, their record, if their on a losing streak, new subs of the team, etc. This can now become a place where the fantasy community can help each other out with their rosters so that they are receiving their full potential each and every week. This can also be a place to discuss possible Add/Drop possibilities. Anyway, everyone can understand the purpose behind this forum now.
Just simply post a question about who you are deciding between, along with your reasoning's behind why you should and shouldn't start them. Then hopefully a fellow fantasy community member will be able to respond and help you make your decision. Anyone can help out! Multiple opinions and beliefs are better than just one! Remember, Strength in numbers.
Disclaimer: Human beings cannot foresee the future, everything posted on here are just calculated predictions/opinions.
Hopefully this now provides a means for all of us as a community to help each other in achieving the glorious 1st place spot in your respected leagues, along with the entitled sensation of "Bragging Rights." Best of luck to all of you! #FantasyLCS #DecisionsAreHard

Sleepers Week 2
- C9
Whether you classify this as a sleeper is up to you. But for anyone who has followed me in the past splits know how I have felt about C9 players in fantasy. In the past, they were AWFUL. Low kill games + smart objective trading = sad fantasy owner for both sides of the game. And with meteos coming back into the split, my doubts continued for C9 heading into the split.
But this past weekend of games was relieving to see. The C9 we saw was more of a tribute to that back in S3 in my opinion. When C9 run the engage team comp, they do not hesitate to go in. The shot calling was there, and everyone seemed to be on the same page. If there is a C9 player still available, Highly recommend you pick them up for this week.
- FOX
FOX's matchups this week are the sole reason as to why they are a sleeper pick this week. Im unsure whether or not a FOX member is a viable long term player on your fantasy roster, but if you're truly in a bind this week, they face a broken TL and a dis functioning NRG. Echo fox did play a great couple of series, and there play looked fairly consistent. If they perform at the level they did last week, they should come away with the W against these two teams.
** Teams To Watch**
- SPLYCE/ROC
I wanted to put both of these teams as a sleeper SOOO badly. But the G2 matchup is worry-some if your a fantasy owner. That being said, both of these teams came out swinging last week and both looked amazing. If you are unsure about your bench positions, consider picking up a Splyce and ROC player. There play impressed me a lot, and I would not be surprised if they become some of the top tier teams this split after what I watched last week.
- APEX
The only reason why I didnt put them as a sleeper this week is because of their match-ups. I believed APEX would be a sleeper coming into the split, and week 1 was only the beginning to confirming my suspicions. Granted, they did face two teams who would go 0-2 for week 1, but their play looked promising, the aggression was there, and they could be HUUUUGE. This week will be more of a test for this team facing ENVY and TSM. (For the record, I like APEX playing style more than that of ENVY). But if there are still APEX players available, also highly recommend you reserve them a spot on your bench.
My fantasy LCS show will be on tonight at 8 PM CST. Tune in to talk more in depth about all of the action and fantasy strategies heading into the summer!
