On the 4/24 Esports DFS Slate I am going to focus on my favorite LOL stacks for DraftKings only. This is the OPL and LPL playoffs. Instead of the games being a best of three, 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 okay to completely stack one of these games, just to have a unique lineup. I am targeting GPP’s ONLY.
Legacy Esports (LGC) (-400) Vs. Dire Wolves (DW) (+266).
In the first matchup of the night is the first time that we can play the Oceanic Pro League (OPL). Legacy Esports (LGC) (-400) is facing off against Dire Wolves (DW) (+266). LGC is coming in with an outstanding record of 18 wins and only three losses. DW has an above five hundred record with 12 wins and nine losses. LGC has dominated every matchup in the past versus DW. I’m predicting this to be like deja vu for the Dire Wolves squad. In the past few matchups, Legacy Esports has only needed contributions from their top two players (Tally and Raes) to dismantle DW. Raes (ADC) is a high profile player that puts his team on his shoulders and carries almost fifty percent of his team’s total kills. I expect him to continue his excellent track record and not only be the top fantasy producer on his team but to be the top scorer of this matchup between both teams. I am going to be building lineups with using only Legacy Esports players from this game. I am fading DW, focusing on a two, three, or four-man stack from LGC, and prioritizing Raes or Tully as my captains in those select lineups.
MY PICK: Legacy Esports (LGC).
Top Esports (TES) (-425) Vs. Team WE (WE) (+280).
In the second matchup of this Esports DFS slate is a highly anticipated LPL playoff battle between Top Esports (TES) (-425) and Team WE (WE) (+280). TES is on a literal killing spree, smashing every opponent in their path. They have not lost a game since the addition of a former Invictus Gaming (IG) superstar (JackeyLove). On the other side of the map, WE has surprised everyone. They have won their last three matchups, and against very talented teams (ES, OMG, EDG). WE is a real wild card. When it comes to Team WE, it seems like nothing is impossible. It would not surprise me if they pulled the upset here. WE has been strategic, mistake-free, and massive fantasy producers in their last few meetings. TES is a tough test, though. This is a matchup where it is difficult to predict the winner. In a few lineups, I am going to have a two, three, or four-man stack of TES. In the lineups that im not using players from TES, I will stack WE. This matchup is going to be exciting to watch. Two high kill rate teams facing off in a best of five playoff series? SIGN ME UP!
MY PICK: Top Esports (TES).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS:
JackeyLove (TES) (ADC)
Jiumeng (WE) (ADC)
Raes (LGC) (ADC)
Teacherma (WE) (MID)
SLATE SUMMARY:
I will be building eight ESPORTS DFS lineups. I will have an even share of full stacks from TES and WE. In every lineup, I will have at least one player from LGC, with a maximum of four. In two out of my eight lineups, I will be building full game stacks from WE and TES. The filler player(s) in my WE and TES stacks will be from LGC.
