Evil Geniuses Seek 3rd Consecutive Win

The team is well-positioned to extend the winning streak as they face Counter Logic Gaming. Their opponents are mired in a three-game losing streak and sit at the bottom of the standings. Evil Geniuses get odds of 11/20 to win, while those betting on an upset will be paid at 13/10.
Immortals Challenge TSM for Third Place
Team SoloMid sit in the second place after dominating the competition in recent weeks. The only defeat suffered at the hands of Evil Geniuses prevented them from claiming solitary pole position. They can improve their placement if they defeat Immortals on Sunday evening. This is a team they dominated in recent years, hence the odds of 1/2 on them to win, while the underdogs get 16/10. Immortals had their winning streak ended abruptly after winning four consecutive games and shouldn’t be underestimated.
Team Liquid and Cloud9 Classic

Golden Guardians and Dignitas Seek Redemption
No teams relegate from the LCS, but being at the bottom of the standings is nevertheless frustrating. Golden Guardians and Dignitas are in this position and desperately need a victory in the Sunday match. Both have lost four of the last five matches and have generally split points in head to head matches. Golden Guardians are underdogs and priced at 11/10, while Dignitas get odds of 7/10.
FlyQuest and 100 Thieves Play Lopsided Match
The match between FlyQuest and 100 Thieves looks like a fight between David and Goliath. These two teams are at the opposite sides of form and are separated by a place in the standings. 100 Thieves are have won 10 out of the last 11 games, while their opponents lost seven matches in a row. Under these circumstances, odds of 1/5 on the favorites and make more sense than odds of 3/1 on the underdogs
