Starters Discussion & Week 6 Analysis (Who Do You Start Week 7?)
UPDATE: Week 8's Forum has been posted! Be sure to check the New/Hot section of the boards and post any questions regard week 8 decisions there!
Hi there!
Ok, so 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 possibilites. Anyway, everyone can understand the purpose behind this forum now.
Just simply post a question about who you are deciding between, along with your reasonings 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

Week 6 Analysis
As I was looking back on weed 6, there really wasn't a whole lot that was really note worthy in my opinion. Were well into the Spring split, And we've now have got a solid depiction of whose hot and whose not, thanks to week 6. However! There are a couple of things that stood out to me, And those can be found below!
For clarification:
Here's whose hot (In my opinion):
EU: FNC, H2K, GMB. NA: TSM, CLG, C9

SK, while they had a very strong start to the split, they are beginning to struggle. They'v gone 1-3 in the past two weeks, and it obviously shows in the fantasy side of things. They now are about to face a FNC team who, if we remember, completely destroyed SK in their last head to head matchup. (And personally I believe that FNC are the favorites heading into that matchup.) Forgivne, however, was able to maintain a good presence in fantasy standings due to his "I WILL NOT DIE" strategy. (40 pts week 5, 33 pts week 6). So what does this all mean exactly? SK is turning into more of a safe team rather than a powerhouse team. What I mean by that is, An SK player wont be the player to Carry you to victory in a match-up, but they wont lose you it either. If you need to take a risk in order to win, SK isnt the type of team to take a risk on at the moment.

(As you saw above), Im gonna go ahead and say C9 now is worthy of starting in your line-ups again. They have gone 5-1 the last 3 weeks, and now are reaching the magic number of 40 pts in fantasy scoring. (Both Hai and Sneaky maintained back to back 40 point weeks in week 5 and 6). **General Tip: 40, in my opinion, is the magic number as to when a player did well in fantasy that given week. ** C9 tends to struggle at the beginning of splits for some reason, but more often than not, there is a moment where they just click. And We've officially reached that moment, and now its time to cash in on it. They face TIP and DIG this week, and if C9 continues to play the way they've been playing, This should be another 2-0 week for them.

Im gonna classify EL as sleepers this week. Disregarding the fact that EL went 1-1 last week, the addition of Krepo was a big step in the right direction for EL. Krepo's shot calling and decision making really was needed on the side of elements, giving them the confidence to go for some of those more gutsy plays. Yes, I know the SK game last week really doesn't support this, but he MYM game does. When EL is facing these Lower level teams, they usually aren't afraid to play a bit more aggressively. And EL this week face CW and UOL, which are both teams EL have won previously against. With now having the first weekend of games with Krepo under their belts, expect them to put up more of a fight, not to mention more points, this week.
