10/13 League of Legends DFS Breakdown: Worlds Edition
Welcome to my 10/13 League of Legends DFS Breakdown: Worlds Edition. I am looking to continue our success from yesterday’s slate with our top recommended stack of RNG/PSG. Let’s see what matches we have today to bring about a chance of repeating our success today. RNG vs HLE, LNG vs MAD, FPX vs RGE, PSG vs FNC, TL vs GEN, DK vs C9 EDG vs DFM, and T1 vs 100T. Luckily for us, I believe we have another straightforward pato to cashing today and I am excited to get into this slate for you guys.
RNG vs HLE
Our first match on the day and a game for us that I am looking to target in cash with the use of RNG and sprinkle in some GPP usage for RNG. They have still looked very impressive in their play with them being able to fully unlock their team by putting Cryin on roaming mid laners to get around to the map and assist with the other lanes and the jungler to make proactive plays. HLE is going to be once again playing through their mid laner in Chovy who currently owns and operated the church of Chovy who controls the lane phase in his matches and will hold a farm gap over whoever he will be against in lane. The downside of HLE is that he is the extent of their good play and I expect the rest of RNG to roll over HLE and take a semi bloody victory here.
LNG vs MAD
We have our second match is what is by far and way the most balanced of our groups at world with this matchup between LNG and MAD. MAD looked very impressive today against GEN G being able to pull off the upset win in a super late game that relied heavily on team fight capabilities. LNG on the other hand showed how dominant they are able to be against inferior competition in their match against TL. They were able to almost pull off the perfect game in complete domination in terms of kills, map pressure, and team fighting. Now, this is going to be a matchup between one of the best if not the best team fighters in MAD and a solid all-around team in LNG. The matchup that I am really excited for here is the one we are getting between Ale and Armut, two of the best top laners we have at worlds. I am expecting Ale to be able to top Armut and possibly even bring his own pick of Wukong against him but this will be close all around. Icon also needs to play in his form from today again for LNG to have a chance here, he improved a lot on his performance from the first match against GEN and BDD. LNG is going to end up taking the advantage early and if they are able to hold off MAD’s team fighting its going to be heavily favored for LNG, I expect a scrappy match here with the possibility to be very bloody. I am taking LNG to win in GPP.
FPX vs RGE
I am going to have a very unpopular opinion on this game and one that is probably wrong for that reason but I really think RGE is going to be able to walk in here and take care of business against FPX with how both teams have been playing. FPX looked terrible in their first two worlds matches against DK and C9, something that I can’t expect to continue into today but also not something I can completely overlook when building and researching for these games. RGE on the other hand was able to take a pretty convincing victory over C9 while keeping their game against DK close up until the end. I am one to take some pretty stupid upsets sometimes and I am going to go back to the well here with RGE over FPX, this one also has the chance to get bloody in that case as FPX likes to die a lot in losses and RGE getting aggressive after they know how far ahead they really are. I am taking RGE here but FPX has a very live chance to take it. RGE for the upset to fit whatever you want on this slate.
FNC vs PSG
This is the match I have been waiting to write up even though there is not going to be much for me to write about it as I believe it is going to be the most straightforward part of this article. FNC is a team that likes to play at breakneck pace whenever that can and that strategy is being used even more without their ADC in Upset who continues to be out for personal reasons. If you were able to catch and of the RNG vs FNC match then you have an understanding of what I mean here in saying that I believe that there will be a lot of blood here and it is going to favor PSG in their kill upside. I picked PSG every match they have played in so far this tournament and they were able to keep in a close one with RNG through their fighting while they pulled off the upset yesterday against HLE at very low ownership to give us the value we needed. They are the best non-major region team at Worlds and I believe they are going to continue to be impressive with the level at which their laners and jungler are playing at so far. I expect PSG to win this scrappy game filled with a ton of kills for PSG and making them my #1 stack on the day, I will be trying to get 4 PSG everywhere and I love Maple, River, and Hanabi at captain for them.
TL vs GEN
These teams are going to be trying to rebound after two disappointing losses, one for TL where they were absolutely dismantled by LNG, and for GEN where they were taken to the brink by MAD and eventually lost out in the team fights. Both of these teams play similar styles in their more macro-focused gameplay which I believe is going to lead to a lower kill game and make me stay away from this match overall. Taking a quick peek into individual matchups the top lane is going to be fun with Alphari going up against Rascal and even though this will be a very close matchup I am going to take Alphari due to his ability to step and carry more often than Rascal. I also believe the mid lane is going to be a good one with BDD vs Jensen which will be a close match and I believe will rely more on who can get around the map to help out their team more. Gen has looked better overall this tournament in my opinion but I can’t completely disregard TL as they were able to take a good victory over MAD in their first game. Take Gen here but low kills overall.
DK vs C9
If we all remember correctly at MSI earlier in the year C9 was able to pull off an upset over DK in one of their games and have it be one of the big surprises of that tournament. Now that we are back at worlds we have two very similar teams to their MSI days in terms of talent and playstyle but I do not think we will be able to get anything close to another one of these upsets that we had. DK looked shaky at MSI and so far this world’s tournament they have been nothing but dominant and one of the best teams we have here. I don’t even think there is too much more to write for this match as I can really only see DK winning pretty dominantly. I’m playing DK and this match will fair on the slower side for the day. Cash only for me with DK or the team spot.
EDG vs DFM
This is the other match I am really liking the upside for with EDG as DFM has been a team that consistently doesn’t have the talent to match with the better teams of the tournament like EDG. They are not as good in the lane phase or the team fight and that is what kills them as a team because they tend to fight more due to this and help to put up more kills in their games and have huge scores for their winning teams. EDG is also one of the most complete teams at worlds as has a great chance to take over this game and put up some huge points overall. I really like them as a stack today and will be playing a good amount of EDG.
100T vs T1
This is our last match of the day and it is going to be one of our best on the day in terms of closeness, DFS wise? Not as much. T1 has looked like one of our better teams at worlds but they also had the pleasure of running into the inevitable team shredder that is EDG. Though in their other matches both of these teams were able to dismantle the lowly DFM squad. T1 has still been the team that looks more complete and one that I can really see coming out of this group in the second spot with how they are playing together. 100T has also been looking good but just not to the level of T1 and I am also going to attribute some of this to the region gap here that is between NA and the LCK. T1 is the stronger team, from the stronger region, and it is going to show at the end of the day. Take T1 for a win here but I don’t love the upside.
Summary
Winners, RNG, LNG, RGE, PSG, GEN, DK, EDG, T1. The matches that I am favoring to have to most upside are going to be PSG/FNC, EDG/DFM, and RNG/HLE. All of these are going to have the chance to put up huge kill numbers and where most of my ownership is going to with my big upset pick being RGE over FPX if your feeling crazy.
