Summer 2016 - Fantasy LCS Week 3 Discussion

Nural·6/15/2016, 4:16:00 PM·6 votes·2,832 views

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 3

  1. ROC

Last week, I classified ROC as a team to watch for good reason. They had a pretty strong week 1, but there is always that lingering doubt as to whether or not it was just a fluke. But now that we've seen them play eight games, they look like they are a contender. (Well, at least in Fantasy). Out of the top 5 scorers in EU, ROCCAT holds THREE of those spots! (Shoutout to Betsy, Steelback, and parang). And the crazy part is, less than half of fantasy owners OWN these guys, let alone start them! And this week looks promising for ROC as well, (vs. OG and FC 04). Get em while their hot this week, because I know I am! (Got two of them on my starting roster!)

  1. ENVY

"BUT NURAL! Envy is 4-0! How could they be classified as a sleeper with that record??" Well they are when only half of the fantasy owners OWN them! Let me be clear, the only other NA team that is also 4-0 is TSM. Envy's overal record is 8-2. these guys must be doing something right, and its about time we respected that fact. They face a hurting CLG along with a blood thirsty IMT. While the IMT game does raise some doubts, Im not worried that ENVY will put up a fight. Give them the respect they deserve and give em a spot on the roster.

But between the two sleepers, ROC > ENVY in my opinion.


Teams to Watch

  1. NRG

So when coming into the split, I thought NRG would be one of the stronger teams. But they're week 1 performance was so bad that it actually made me rethink my life. But their week 2 was so much better, even if they did go 1-1. We were able to see some of the fight and life behind them. But because of the slip-floppiness of this team, its better we wait and watch this team this week.

  1. CLG

I dont know what it is about NA teams doing well in international competitions, then to just turn around and drop the ball in the LCS split. CLG has had such hype coming into the split, but they're hasn't been much wow from them. CLG faces FOX and ENVY. In a world that makes sense, CLG should be able to beat fox. But with the way Envy and CLG has been playing recently, that game looks worrisome for CLG fans. If you're team is all in on CLg at the moment, might be better to hold off until after this week and see where they truly stand.


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!

EDIT: Show unfortunately is canceled since home internet cant support the stream. Hopefully I will find a fix for it soon :(

Just putting this out there, but part of CLG's problem is that Huhi is pretty much not on the same playing level as the rest of his team

I could potentially trade Perkz away for Jensen do you think this would be better for the long term?

Question for you Nural, or anyone else that wants to answer. I'm in a 4 man league (so everybody is pretty much stacked in terms of high scoring players) and steeelback is available for trade. Problem is, idk if I should swap him for one of my other ADCs. I have Turtle who I'm reluctant to give up and Piglet, who I want to start this week since TL's has some matchups finally. What should I do in this situation?

Pessoa6/16/2016, 6:42:23 PM1 votes

I have one question to go out to the community - HuHi or Ninja.

They go against each other this week and going into the split, Huhi would have that spot no doubt going up against nV and Echo Fox. However, with nV and Ninja on the up-and-up and Huhi specifically at a slump, I am debating whether to go comfort or record. nV is against a still quite overwhelming Immortals.

I'd like to hear some other player's thoughts as this has been mind-boggling me for nearly a week.

Thanks in advance!

Forg1vengre is killing me! Work keeps me pretty busy, so I read the Week 2 Cheat Sheet a little late and EU locked before I noticed he was being benched. Week 3 rolls around and I make sure to check the Cheat Sheet as soon as it comes out. Since it made no mention of Forg1vengre NOT playing, I assumed he was back in rotation, so I started him again. Big mistake it turns out. I wish the estimated points would reflect when a player is benched, like put a zero for the estimate for the week. They did that for Dardoch when he was suspended.

DAMMIT ROCCAT I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR YOU GUYS WHOOPIN ORIGENS.

Okay, can u guys help me a bit?

For week 4 i cant figure out who i should use as my midlaner.

I got Perkz (G2) & Fox (SH04) They play against eachother and both have an ''easy'' 2nd opponent. i would consider G2 the better team but Fox scores better throughout the split. So anyone that can help me out with this one? ^.^

Edit: Also i got Expect (G2) & Hauntzer (TSM) and i think im giving Expect a shot this week but i wanna know what u guys think about this.

Parang ended up scoring 18 points *facepalm Still ended up winning because I'm stacked in the jungle (meteos and reignover)
