On the 4/11 Esports DFS Slate I am going to focus on my favorite LOL stacks for DraftKings only. This is now the LEC and LCS playoffs. Instead of these games being a best of one, they are now a best of five series. In each DFS lineup, you create, you are going to have to get different. If you chose to go the traditional stack, you would likely be tied with a hundred different players. Coming into this, I am still going to focus on fitting in an ADC or a MID in my captain spot. It is also ok to completely stack one of these games, just to have a unique lineup. I am targeting GPP’s ONLY.
Fnatic (FNC)(-475) vs. Mad Lions (MAD) +300):
This game is my favorite of the two LOL games. Fnatic (FNC) is coming into this game as the favorite. FNC blew the doors off of their opponent (Origen) last weekend with a three to one series win. The one game that they did lose, in my opinion, was a fluke. FNC is a kill producing powerhouse in the LEC. Today they have a tough matchup versus the up and coming Mad Lions (MAD), a team that has been known to be underestimated and overlooked. For Fnatic’s sake, I hope they don’t perform as they did in the first of their two regular-season matchups against MAD. This is going to be a high scoring, high producing, high kill rate series. When this battle is completely over, the winning team is going to be able to breathe finally. This is a series that can go either way, but what I do know is that I am going to want maximum exposure to the team that comes out victorious. This is a matchup that I am unable to feel confident about picking the winning team, and I will have lineups with both of the contending teams. My slight lean is on Fnatic, but I would not be surprised if the Mad Lions came out on top.
MY PICK: Fnatic (FNC).
Cloud9 (C9) (-1600) vs. Evil Geniuses (+650) (EG):
This is game number two of the ESPORTS DFS slate. There is not much to say here, but Cloud9 (C9) should come into this game and steamroll Evil Geniuses (EG). C9 is by far the best team in the league. I LOVE C9 today, and they will be my primary stack. I see no outcome of EG coming out on top. C9 is going to run through this series and never look back. I do not see this getting to a fourth game, let alone going to the fifth game. C9 should sweep EG. There will be no sign of any EG players in any of my lineups.
FAVORITE CAPTAINS:
My favorite captains on this two-game LOL DFS slate are Nisqy and Zven from Cloud9. Nemesis and Rekkles from Fnatic. Humanoid and Carzzy from Mad Lions. My highest exposure captains will be Nisqy, Zven, and Carzzy.
SLATE SUMMARY:
In most of my builds, I will have players from Fnatic, Cloud9, and Mad Lions. My “main” stack is Cloud9; they will be in every lineup that I build one way or the other. In all of my lineups, I am going to have an even split of FNC and MAD. I have no problem at all with a lineup that has a full game one stack (Fnatic and Mad Lions) in order to get different. In most of my lineups will have either an ADC or a MID player in my captain spot. If I can not fit the MID or ADC, I will use the SUP position or will mix in a third team to use at the SUP position and Team option (three-two-two or four-two-one stack).
