DraftKings LoL: Sunday Worlds Breakdown

DraftKings LoL: Sunday Worlds Breakdown

This article is part of our DraftKings League of Legends series.

GAMES (EDT)

  • 4:00 a.m: LGD vs. V3 Gaming
  • 4:50 a.m: Unicorns of Love vs. Rainbow7

LGD vs. V3

This got more interesting because LGD havn't won a game yet and they are not playing like they were in the spring. They are not on the same page and even missed a ban during draft phase. LGD early game looked better, but their main issue is still mid-to-late and they completely threw them Saturday. V3 came out looking solid against Rainbow7, and even UoL, who looked like they will get out of play-ins. V3 are a top-heavy team lead by Bugi, and they have a real shot with how bad LGD have been playing. V3 have shown the ability to play an aggressive style and a more objective game. If they can hold LGD's early game and draft to scale, I believe they can beat LGD through macro and team work. 

Prediction: V3 Win

V3 Players to Target: Everyone

UoL vs. R7

Unicorns are playing at an uptempo pace on par with LPL teams and are pressuring teams into mistakes and late rotations around the map. They are good at pressuring a side lane making the teams they play to have to choose between saving a turret or split pushing to gain map control. UoL shine when they catch other players off guard and then full-team commit to an objective. I think they come out here and smash. Rainbow7 didn't look good even against LGD; they got some lucky fights but

Rainbow7 didn't look good even against LGD; they got some lucky fights but were outclassed against V3 earlier in the day. UoL is a plug and play on the first slate, so just move on.

Prediction: UoL Win 

UoL Players to Target: Everyone
