Game 3 \u2013 4PM PST\/ 7 PM EST<\/strong><\/p>\nC9 and CLG facing off yet again, as they have done many teams in the history of the NA LCS. The only difference is that before, both teams were top echelon teams. Now, this is a match between the 2nd place and the 9th placed team, a staggering difference of strength no matter how one looks at it.
\nC9 have nearly given up control of the 1st place spot in NA, with losses to 100T and EF bringing them down the standings. Jensen remains a star mid laner, with his botlane ally Sneaky remaining a solid and consistent carry. Licorice has shown he has to ability to carry superbly but alas the opposite is also true (cough Lucian cough). The win condition for C9 now falls to the early game pressure and transition into midgame, which relies heavily on Svenskeren being in the right time and right place.
\nCLG have struggled throughout the split and this will be no different. Stixxay and Biofrost actually have a decent chance to match equally with Sneaky and Smoothie, but Darshan could prove to be on point or completely tilted. Huhi has not won the matchup versus Jensen consistently enough, and Reignover simply is not able to put in the work that needs to be done. Once again, instead of champion or matchup strategies, CLG may have to slow down the game in hopes to match teamfights 40 minutes down the road.
\nC9 are easily the heavy favorites to win here. They have shown signs of weakness before, but those weaknesses will have to be exploited by a team struggling to get out of the bottom half of standings.\f<\/p>\n
