An excerpt of "LCS Week 3 Preview"
If EG/Fnatic is a battle between leaders, Dragonborns vs Giants is one between underdogs.
Giants already conquered Gambit Gambing and skyrocketed themselves into community’s attention and obliterated Copenhagen Wolves to show that it’s mostly the top four teams they have troubles against. Jimbowns is slowly but surely building up his reputation of AD carry who will take a dump on your childhood dreams using champions from the terra incognita part of the pool, whether it’s AD Kennen or a quadra-killing Ashe. If Giants came in as the ultimate dark horse, they are now marching towards making their namesake proud.
Against them stand Shushei’s Dragonborns, who will be playing their third match for the season. A loss to EG but a win against SK puts them on the zero points balance but at that point this is very much irrelevant: they know they can crush the big boys so stealing the icecream from the “little kids” should be an easier task.
With all that being said, though, expect the sickest mind games and target banning in the lobby. GIANTS will not want to give Lux to Shushei after what he did to SK last week and they’ll want to keep Draven away from Hosan too. On the other hand, what do you actually take away from Jimbownz? Do you allow Morden to have Dr. Mundo? Should they neglect Exterminare’s Wukong? These are all questions that Dragonborn needs to answer before they go against the Spaniards.
