Fantasy Emergency! Mid Week NA
Greetings summoners! If you're in any kind of position like I am right now and your opponent had an Origen/GIANTS player starting that went absolutely off...you need a quick fix that could net you some recovery points. Here's some quick pick ups that could sub in and make the comeback dream come true in the NA LCS scene:
Shiphtur DIG (Owned in 12.2% of leagues): While this is a great week for the acquisition of ANY Dignitas player as we can potentially see them go 2-0 this week, Shiphtur is going up against a slumping Slooshi8 and a relative unknown in Bischu. Shiphtur is arguably the most talented player on this Dignitas team (though Gamesu can certainly contest that title when he's on) and if the guy is due for a break out week...this is the week.
Nien T8 (Owned 1.4% of leagues): The man that pushed maplestreet from the team after T8's surprisingly good debut last split will debut this week. While we don't know how real the hype is, this has him facing the likes of COREJJ (who has been less than stellar) and the potential for Doublelift/Aphromoo to overlook this T8 duo in the CLG/TSM hype. Nien has some pretty good upside this week that could set the bar for him this entire split.
Trashy NME (Owned 5.3% of leagues): One of the more overlooked junglers in the NA scene, Trashy actually has a lot if upside in the style of play NME goes for. His lanes should do very well this week (TL and TDK are the opponents) and the point potential could be extremely high for a jungler. If he is available and you've got a jungler like Move/Porpoise/Xsmithie starting...I could see Trashy doing the job of acquiring those recovery points for you.
That's all for now! I will put out a weekly segment starting on Monday about some good adds, drops and weekly swaps for fantasy! Stay tuned!
