LCK Picks 7/2

Greetings my friends! The LCK Summer Season rolls on with Week 3 action, and both of the contests on this slate should be great matches. The first series of the day will be between Afreeca Freecs and the winless Hanwha Life Esports. This will be followed by a series that I am extremely excited for between DragonX and Team Dynamics. Without further adieu, let's get into things!

Afreeca Freecs (-335) vs. Hanwha Life Esports (+230)

The opening series of the day could potentially be a really fun one between the 2-2 Afreeca Freecs and the 0-4 Hanwha Life Esports. Afreeca has wins over Sandbox and Team Dynamics while their losses came against T1 and DragonX. Meanwhile, HLE has fallen to SeolHaeOne Prince, T1, kt Rolster as well as Team Dynamics. Hear me out on this one. These teams met twice during the spring split, and they split those meetings (no pun intended). These two have very similar rosters from the spring, in fact, HLE has upgraded their roster slightly with the addition of Viper in the Bot Lane. However, things just haven't been able to come to fruition for HLE despite the upgrades. I don't necessarily think that HLE will win this series outright, but I expect them to take one game as many of their issues have come from the draft phase and that is an issue that can be worked out.

Pick: Hanwha Life Esports Spread +1.5 Games (-140)

DragonX (-550) vs. Team Dynamics (+335)

The last series of the slate is an interesting one between the 4-0 DragonX and the 3-1 Team Dynamics. I will start by saying that DragonX is clearly been the best team in the LCK thus far, but there isn't as big of a gap between these teams as odds would imply. The only loss so far for Team Dynamics was to Afreeca Freecs 1-2, and this was their second match since promotion this split and their inexperience ultimately cost them that series. I believe that Team Dynamics belongs in the LCK, and that they will be a playoff contender at the end of the split. DragonX has dropped three games so far despite winning all series, and these losses came to T1, Sandbox and Gen.G. T1 and Gen.G can possibly be excused, but Sandbox is horrid. This play is almost a giveaway as Team Dynamics will surely win at least one game in this series. They may potentially even pull the upset in this one.

Pick: Team Dynamics Spread +1.5 Maps (+100)
