1.80 at Betway.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Giants Gaming vs. ROCCAT<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Game 2, Friday, February 2, 6pm GMT \/ 7pm CET<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both the Giants and ROCCAT head into their clash on Friday in form, though we think the former are better equipped to deliver the upset.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants have opted for the long-game over aggro plays to find great success this series, patiently gold farming and handing off a few battles here or there before overwhelming their overconfident foes around the half-hour mark.<\/p>\n<p>Mid laner Felix &#8216;Betsy&#8217; Edling is the Giants player to beat after his excellent performance as Veigar last week, smartly using his stack of AP to decimate G2 and secure his team&#8217;s logic-defying comeback victory. AD carry Pierre &#8216;Steeelback&#8217; Medjaldi and his late-game Kog&#8217;Maw is another emergent threat ROCCAT will need to shut down early.<\/p>\n<p>ROCCAT doubled down on its aggressive objective baiting last week which worked against both of its weaker, more impatient opponents. However, the Giants are a much more disciplined threat, and so long as they keep promising ROCCAT mid-laner Jin &#8216;Blanc&#8217; Seong-min from dominanting as Azir, they can set the pace once more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Bet on Giants Gaming to win at Betway.com\" href=\"\/go\/betway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Giants Gaming to beat ROCCAT &#8211; 1.85 at

continues to be instrumental in Schalke 04&#8217;s handful of surprise victories this EU LCS series.<\/p>\n<p>With pinpoint precision as Malzahar, Nukeduck and company have shut out numerous enemy carries and turned around many early skirmishes with calm and coordinated counter-plays.<\/p>\n<p>As much as we&#8217;ve rooted for Schalke since the preseason, however, Team Vitality have shown superior macro play in almost every single match to-date &#8211; and we&#8217;re expect another decisive victory here.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s mid-laner Daniele &#8216;Jiizuke&#8217; di Mauro assassinating foes left, right and center as Ryze or support Jakub &#8216;Jactroll&#8217; Skurzy\u0144sk making the most of the late-game, they show no signs of ceding their top position.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Bet on Team Vitality to win at Betway.com\" href=\"\/go\/betway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Team Vitality to beat Schalke 04 &#8211; 1.70 at

need the win this Friday.<\/p>\n<p>However, their performance last week shows they have yet to improve upon their terrible lane management habits, allowing several opponents to backdoor their Nexus with inefficient recall.<\/p>\n<p>Fnatic&#8217;s midlaner Rasmus &#8216;Caps&#8217; Winther is the weak point the Misfits are more than capable of exploiting, particularly if Steven &#8216;Hans sama&#8217; Liv can continue his teamfight domination while jungler Nubar &#8216;Maxlore&#8217; Sarafian sows discord with more sneaky objective captures.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Bet on Misfits to
