1/21 LPL/LCK League Of Legends DFS Breakdown

Welcome to my 1/21 LPL/LCK League Of Legends DFS Breakdown, we are coming in hot after cashing last nights slate with BLG being the slate breaker in game 3 of their series against OMG coming in hot with 34 kills and blowing OMG out of the water along with putting up huge DFS scores. Tonight we have a 5 game slate that consists of LSB/KDF, NS/KT, WB/TT, UP/LGD, and RNG/AL. This isn’t my favorite slate from first looks but I do have a favorite team right off the bat that I am very confident in, so let’s get into this slate and diagnose the best plays for you to hit the green tonight.

LSB vs KDF

This is going to be the first match of the night I am touching on as it is the least appealing for DFS purposes overall and I most likely won’t be touching any part of it outside of maybe a team spot. These are two of the worst teams in the LCK even though someone like KDF has a decent roster on paper they have looked like the worst team in the LCK to start off the split while LSB is in the bottom tier as well. LSB is a team that is going to play through their mid/jg duo in Croco and Clozer, both relatively good players in this league. While KDF has some names like FATE, Ellim, and Teddy they just haven’t worked well together and look more like some of the washed players in the LCK. I am taking LSB here and their value I just can’t see them scoring too high to go outside of the team spot from them tonight. LSB 2-1.

NS vs KT

This is going to be one of the closer matches of the slate and somewhere I like to look at for value tonight and to grab my 3 stacks from. NS is a team that is coming off a massive win in DWG and is kinda set up for a letdown spot here against KT who does have a roster I believe is very competitive in the LCK. Looking into the individual lane matchups for the top lane we have Canna vs Rascal who are two players that are very accustomed to each other from their time on T1 and Gen G. Though looking back to this time we know that T1 had Gen’s number and I can really only see Canna winning this lane but not smashing it. The jungle is going to be Dread vs Cuzz who are once again two players coming from different teams and are going to be competitive against each other. I have this as a very even game as Dread is one of the better junglers in the LCK and Cuzz isn’t too far behind, this is a pretty even matchup.

Looking into the mid-lane matchup we have Bdd vs Aria and I am looking at this to be the most lopsided part of the map in NS’s favor as Bdd is one of the top mids coming off a recent MVP of the LCK while on Gen G. Aria is a recent import from Japan and is a very strong player but I do believe overall talent and lack of experience is going to give the advantage over to Bdd on NS. The bot lane is somewhere I am going to group together and I like NS’s bot lane here with Ghost and Peter going up against Aiming and Life. I do have my lean over to the side of NS but this is going to be a very close matchup that is going to be one of the deciding factors of the game. I am taking NS to win 2-1 but I feel like this can go either way this matchup will only be going for my small stacks in GPP’s.

WB vs TT

Halfway through our 1/21 LPL/LCK League Of Legends DFS Breakdown, and I don’t have much to say about this match as TT is one of the worst if not the worst teams in the LPL while when looking at how WB plays it protects them from larger upsets in their more macro style. I like them a lot and I don’t expect them to lose here, I like them mostly as my smaller stacks tonight but their upside is intriguing as any team is when going up against TT. I like Huenfeng and TheShy here tonight along with the team spot. There just isn’t too much to say here as this will be a 2-0 sweep and a lower-ish scoring one at that. I like WB as my small stacks if you can fit them tonight.

RNG vs AL

I have a very differing opinion from most others on how to approach this matchup as I believe that it is going to be much closer than most believe. RNG is going to win here but I think at best this is going to be a 2-1 victory for them and I don’t love their upside either tonight as I believe overall there is a slight chance that AL pulls off a victory and I am going to be taking a GPP shot on them in my contests as I really like them here tonight to pull it off. I wouldn’t put actual money on them but a shot is better than nothing tonight. Now coming back from crazy land we have the fact of the matter here is that RNG should win this matchup hands down and be one of the best stacks of the night if you can fit them into your builds. I don’t have much else to say on this match but I expect RNG to win but am putting AL into at least 1 GPP 4 stack tonight.

UP vs LGD

Now, this is where the money is going to be made tonight and I am happy to plant my flag here into the side of UP and their ADC ELK. There is some serious upside here as LGD has the highest CKPM in the LPL so far this split and UP is the team I expect to take full advantage of that especially through their ADC in ELK along with their proactive jungler in H4cker, I would love to hit both sides here but I do not expect LGD to have a shot tonight as UP has just looked and played like a much better team overall. I am going all out here rolling UP as they are the team that should put up the highest scores and a relatively low ownership tonight. Play 4 UP and go to bed, I like to stack them with NS but also KT is you feel that hedge right there.
