On the 4/18 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.
G2 Esports (G2) (-650) vs. MAD Lions (MAD) (+390) (LEC):
This game is my favorite of the two LOL games. This is a playoff rematch. The previous serious was a kill friendly, bloody, high fantasy scoring battle that left you in suspense until the very last kill in the last possible game of the series (game five). I expect an almost identical series, except this time im siding with G2 for the win. I am going to be targeting both sides of this bloody battle but will have slightly more exposure to G2. G2 is going to come out with a vengeance and prove that they should be number one in the LEC, i do not believe that they will make the mistakes they made in the first series against MAD. This is going to be a great series to watch. Both teams have everything to play for and are going to lay it all out on the map. This matchup is where a lot of my exposure will be coming from. Though I do believe G2 wins, the MAD Lions with not go down easy or without a fight. I will be using up to four players from either G2 or MAD in almost every lineup I create.
MY PICK: G2 Esports (G2).
Evil Geniuses (EG) (-250) vs. Flyquest (FLY) (+390) (LCS):
This is game number two of the ESPORTS DFS slate and another playoff rematch. My primary focus is this matchup is going to be the Evil Geniuses (EG). Last time that these two teams met, it was a lopsided affair. EG dismantled FLY in four games. In my opinion, it should not have made it past the third game. EG is better all over. They capitalized on every mistake that Flyquest made, and they made quite a few significant mistakes. This is another series where I expect more of the same. EG should come out and have a repeat performance and win the series by the fourth game. In the previous five-game playoff series, four out of the five position players produced over one hundred fantasy points. EG will be the team that I look to stack along with my G2 and MAD stacks.
MY PICK: Evil Geniuses (EG).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS:
My favorite captains of this two-game LOL DFS slate are Humanoid and Carzzy from MAD Lions, Perkz, and Caps from G2.
SLATE SUMMARY:
I will be building seven ESPORTS DFS lineups. In all of my builds, I will have players from G2 Esports, MAD Lions and Evil Geniuses. I will have no exposure to Flyquest. I have no problem at all with a lineup that has a full game one stack (G2 and MAD) in order to get different. All 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).
