1/30 League of Legends LPL/LCK DFS breakdown.
Hello everyone, I am happy to join the team here at WinDaily sports and provide content for LOL slates for the weeks and months to come. Tonight we have a solid looking slate with 3 heavy favorites and one match that will be the most anticipated of the night with DRX/BRO, GENG/LSB, V5/TT, and FPX/IG. I’m ready to bunker down and breakdown these slates, lets start crushing tonight with my 1/30 League of Legends LPL/LCK DFS breakdown!!!
DRX (-400) vs. Fredit Brion (+275)
The first match of the night is in the LCK between DRX and BRO, two of the lower echelon teams in the LCK. Due to it being the LCK lineups are not yet out for the teams but projected lineups would be: Kingen, Pyosik, Solka, Bao, and Becca for DRX. While BRO has: Hoya, UmTi, Lava, Hena, and Delight. Though these are two of the lower-tier teams in the LCK, there is a stark difference in their stats and the overall talent levels of these respective squads.
Looking into their games DRX holds the edge in the early game and parlay that into an even bigger lead in the late game with better overall Baron control %’s at 56% for DRX to 20% for BRO. They also have strong control of the jungle in this matchup through their win con in Pyosik with a 51.8% jungle control to BRO’s 46.1% control rate. Pyosik will control the jungle and give his advantage over to his laners, getting BAO some much-needed gold in the early game.
I will be backing DRX in this matchup as BRO will once again prove that they are one of the worst teams in the LCK as DRX will sweep 2-0, I do see some upside and can see it being a lower owned 4 stack to the aforementioned FPX/IG matchup. I can see DRX’s stats being inflated through their inability to close out this game though so I will definitely have ownership of DRX tonight. Favorite plays: BAO, Pyosik, Becca, Kingen. DRX also allows you to jam in some of the favorites of the slate.
GENG (-800) vs. LSB (+425)
Another match where I believe you can tell by the odds that this should be an absolute stomp, though not one that too favorable for DFS purposes. GEN is a very objective focused team and plays a very polished game script with them focusing fights around objectives, true LCK style.
GEN holds a distinct advantage in baron and along with early game stats like first blood rate and first turret, they also have a slight lead in vision numbers. Gen also holds talent advantages all across the board, with jungle being the closest matchup of them all. Rascal is the best top laner in the LCK right now and will look to own Summit in his matchup, be careful though as he is the most expensive top laner on DK. Their jungle position is up in the air as it’s the second LCK match meaning we will not have starters before lock so I would stay away as it’s a toss-up between Flawless and Clid. Mid lane gives the edge over to GEN along with the Bot lane with Ruler and Life over Leo and effort.
Starting lineups are up in the air in this match and would stay away from rostering GEN’s Jungler and the ADC for LSB. I believe this will be another 2-0 from the LCK and My favorite plays from GEN are only from small stacks: Rascal, BDD, and GEN team.
Victory V (-750) vs. TT (+425)
The first of our two LPL matches tonight will yet again be another stomp by the heavy favorite. V5, even with the admittedly questionable top lane decisions (Mr. Invincible), should still have an easy matchup here in TT, the worst team in the LPL at the moment. Though of the three heavy favorites I would give this one to be the closest match and SamD is back up against his old team tonight.
I will give the edge to V5 still, their early game prowess and ability to snowball these leads should be too much for TT to overcome as Weiwei will look to assert his dominance early and get his laners ahead. TT is also one of the worst early game teams having an on average 1485 gold deficit at 15 minutes. Victory V will look to play through their 86% first turret take and their 75% Rift Herald control rate.
Even with all of V5’s advantages, I do not like to take them as a 4 stack on either site as they only average 16 kills per win, this is due to their snowballing style of play. I can see them being included on FanDuel due to pricing but I am staying away on DK at that price. V5 2-0, Favorite plays: Weiwei, Mole, V5 team.
FPX (-170) vs. IG (+125)
For our final match of this 1/30 League of Legends LPL/LCK DFS breakdown, we have the most explosive of the night in FPX/IG. These have been of the most exciting teams to watch so far in the LPL holding some of the highest kill totals in the league along with some of the highest death totals in the LPL. This is the match where I would both shoot my 4 stacks and take both sides.
FPX holds advantages in just about every early game stat, leading in first blood, first turret, and Rift Herald rate. FPX likes to push their early game while IG looks to take drakes and posture themselves to win in the late game. FPX has looked dominant this split and by now we all know the nature of IG, they tend to int hard when down, and it’s something I can see happening again tonight. If they are able to persevere and survive the early game of FPX, you will see their duo of XUN and Rookie come alive as XUN has the highest KS and KP on the team.
It is my distinctive belief that you should take your 4 stacks from this game and we won’t get another blunder game like RNG/WE last night. This will also be the most likely hedge game though I do have a considerable lean towards FPX and like the 4 stacks from them tonight. Favorite plays from both sides, FPX: Lwx, Bo, Nuguri, and Crisp. IG: XUN, Rookie, Wink, and Baolan. FPX 2-1
In summary, I will say that I believe every match will be a sweep except for the last match with it also being the highest-scoring of the night, if you are looking for an under-owned 4 stack shoot for DRX but other than that would ride with FPX tonight and hedge IG.
