Here are my mid lane rankings for week five of the NA and EU LCS.
No. 1 – Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen (Cloud9 – NA LCS)
Last week
- Best Game : 52.49
- First Two Games 80.04
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 45-60
- First Two Games: 75-90
Cloud9 has been on fire, and likely won’t slow down this week against Phoenix1 and Team SoloMid. Jensen should be a top performer.
No. 2 – Hai “Hai” Du Lam (FlyQuest – NA LCS)
Last Week
- Best Game: 53.57
- First Two Games: 84.27
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 40-55
- First Two Games: 70-85
FlyQuest takes on Team Dignitas and Team SoloMid this week, and Hai should be able to put up major points in both series.
No. 3 Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg (Team SoloMid – NA LCS)
Last Week
- Best Game: 33.13
- First Two Games: 56.90
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 40-55
- First Two Games: 70-85
Cloud9 and FlyQuest are two teams that should beat TSM, but Bjergsen still manages to score points even in losses.
No. 4 – Chres “Sencux” Laursen (Splyce – EU LCS)
Last Week*
- Best Game: 18.12
- First Two Games: 23.09
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 35-55
- First Two Games: 65-85
Splyce should be able to go 2-0 this week against Fnatic and Team ROCCAT. If they do, Sencux will score big points.
No. 5 – Rasmus “Caps” Winther (Fnatic – EU LCS)
Last Week*
- Best Game: 23.45
- First Two Games: 28.58
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 35-55
- First Two Games: 65-85
Caps should be able to put up major points against Origen, but Splyce is a bit of a tougher task. The points should still be there for Caps this week, but be wary of the series against Splyce.
No. 6 – Henrik “Froggen” Hansen (Echo Fox – NA LCS)
Last Week
- Best Game: 81.60
- First Two Games: 133.34
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 30-55
- First Two Games: 60-85
Team EnVyUs and Immortals should pose no threat to Froggen and Echo Fox, so expect the mid laner to continue putting up solid points.
No. 7 – Yoo “Ryu” Sang-ook (Phoenix1 – NA LCS)
Last Week
- Best Game: 49.06
- First Two Games: 73.46
Projections For This Week
- Best Game: 35-50
- First Two Games: 60-80
Phoenix1 will likely lose its match against Cloud9, but expect Ryu to still be able to put points on the board. Against Team EnVyUs, Ryu should star.
FeelsBadMan Starts of the Week
Jang “Keane” Lae-young (Team Dignitas – NA LCS)
Keane has been struggling for a bit, but a series against Team Liquid this week could help him get back on track. He won’t be putting up massive points against FlyQuest though.
Choi “Huhi” Jae-hyun (Counter Logic Gaming – NA LCS)
Huhi is constantly an average scorer. Look for him to maybe score a little higher than usual this week against Immortals and Team Liquid.
*These players only played one series last week because of the EU LCS format
