Who has the Advantage? - 3/21 LPL 2AM ET Slate (3 Games)
Amazing upset night yesterday, shit hit the fan, but LNG was great in their victory I suppose. Let's see how tonight goes.
OMG (-240) vs DMO (+170)
OMG have been pretty good this season, and I am pretty impressed by them. Icon and Curse have got some pretty good teammates now and this has really enabled them as stars to take over more games. I am impressed with H4cker's play as well, he didn't look great last season but has improved by the looks of it. Smlz is a consistent ADC who plays his role effectively and does the damage he needs to.
Dominus had my trust last time out against WE and got promptly destroyed. I think it is time to forget about to old DMO who were a playoff team, and focus on the now. They are playing like a bottom tier team and xiye was really a disappointment. Xiaowei is in for this game, and he has looked better than xiye in the games that he's played, but it is not a swing big enough to win them the series in my eyes.

ES (-235) vs BLG (+170)
ES are overrated for sure to some degree. They are not a top of the LPL team, and so far have had a relatively easy schedule. They got slammed by EDG, and I fully expect them to come back to reality soon. This is not to say they are bad though, they have had a couple nice wins against better teams like Suning and FPX, but I expect them to settle around the middle of the table. This will be an extremely close match.
BLG are bringing back Kingen for this game, as their ADD one game experiment did not go so well. BLG have had a tough start to the season so far, but against far tougher competition. Meteor and Fofo are both pretty good, and in the end I view these teams about equal. BLG has been in poor form recently, which is the only reason I won't fully commit to them.
Advantage to : ES

This is the game I am very 50/50 on. I think BLG has a very good chance to upset here and I would have no issues taking them in a GPP, but Estar have been consistent enough against most teams, and in a cash setting I would still lean towards ES. Players to watch (BLG): Meteor, Fofo, Jinjiao
IG (-315) vs TES (+220)
TES are still a good team, and 369/Karsa/Knight are incredible players in their own right. Normally they would have a large advantage from those 3, but TheShy and Rookie can hold their own. I think IG has the better bot lane, and can look to push the tempo through them. I would rank TES above DMO in GPPs even though the odds say otherwise. It is always possible IG just comes in and flops, which they tend to do once in a while, and TES run away with it.
IG is coming off a couple of 3 game sets to teams that are worse than them, but that is something I expect from IG. In a lot of these series where they are simply better, they have a very disrespectful style and often lose a game because of it. They end up winning the series of course, but not without causing some drama. Ning is back in this game, and he remains their main choice in the jungle spot. Rookie had his best series of the season last time out, and maybe this is a sign of his return to form. On a good day TheShy and Rookie are one of the most lethal solo lane combos in the world, just depends for IG, will tonight be one of those good nights?
TES have also had a pretty tough schedule so far, but they have performed relatively well in those games (besides 2-0 vs RNG). It is recently that they haven't been at their best. They lost 0-2 in a pretty shocking fashion to LGD, and did lose a game to Vici. Vici is improving quite rapidly so I can give them a slight pass there, but overall TES does have weaknesses. Their bottom lane is a big point of weakness, and QiuQiu is starting as their support today, so keep that in mind.
