The LCS is back for the Summer with some teams making a lot of changes and others sticking with their five from the Spring. Each of these teams will be duking it out to not only win an LCS Championship but also to get the chance to go to Worlds. With that people may be wondering who to pick on their way to Worlds. Here are the LCS Picks for Week 7 of the 2022 Summer Split.

Overall Pick Record: 45-20
Pick Record from LCS Week 6: 9-1
Golden Guardians vs. 100 Thieves
Golden Guardians are really going to be looking back at that TSM game if they don’t make playoffs. Unfortunately for them 100 Thieves still want that first seed in playoffs and will be playing tough. GGS could surprise but don’t bet on it.
Evil Geniuses vs. TSM
Weird things happen like when bad teams beat good teams. This is not a time where that will happen. TSM may play them tough but EG are better across the board.
FlyQuest vs. Team Liquid
Team Liquid just do not seem like they have it. Maybe they will get a buff as the LCS heads down the homestretch but that feels unlikely. FlyQuest just were drubbed by the top two teams in the league and will be looking to take out their frustrations on someone. TL are not just in the way in this game but in the standings. This will be a huge win for FlyQuest.
Immortals vs. Dignitas
Dignitas have essentially thrown in the towel and Immortals are looking much like the team many thought they would be at the beginning of the year. Dignitas may surprise them with some cheese early but Immortals will ultimately get their fourth win of the split here.
CLG vs. Cloud9
CLG are running into Cloud9 at the worst time. Berserker is currently taking control of the LCS and CLG will have nothing to stand in his way. Unless Blaber randomly ints, as he does from time to time, Cloud9 should roll this one and remind everyone that CLG are not in the same ballpark as them.
After what will likely be a thrashing against EG, TSM should do the same to Dignitas. If there was a game for Dignitas to win the rest of this split it would be here against TSM. That said if what TSM showed against Golden Guardians are their true selves, then it is hard not to take them in this matchup.
This has to be the game of the week. If not then the person who makes that decision must like bad League of Legends. These two teams are battling it out to decide who will get the first-round bye with Evil Geniuses. Berserker really is just playing so well and very comfortably now. He will not be the deciding factor though, look for Fudge to take over in the top lane while 100T focus their attention bot. Cloud9 will pull within a game of 100T heading into super week.
The worst scenario possible for Team Liquid happens this weekend. They have not looked great and when that happens they lose. Even when EG look bad, they still find a way to win. Everyone thought these two teams would be battling for first but it is clear that EG are in a league of their own.
This matchup could determine who makes playoffs between the two teams. While Golden Guardians looked awful in Week 7, Immortals almost took down Evil Geniuses. This is a tale of two very different zero and twos. While neither team will be challenging for top six, Immortals still feel like the better team here as they tie Golden Guardians for the eighth seed.
This will be another battle to see who really is the better team at this time. So close in the standings yet, this is a game that FlyQuest should win handily. They are playing well and Johnsun and Aphromoo should take it to Luger and Poome. While Josedeodo and Toucouille remind Palafox and Contractz who really are the better mid-jungle duo.
