We are going to start by breaking down the two matchups of the new LPL split scheduled to go off at 5 am and 7 am Eastern standard time on Sunday. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is two best of three-game series LPL (Chinese League) matches.
The first match is INVICTUS GAMING (IG) (-150) VS. SUNING GAMING (SN) (+110). The second match is JD GAMING (JDG) (+115) VS. TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-155). I am going to break down each game the way I feel it will play out. I will post my betting picks and favorite team immediately following the breakdown.
At the later stage of my article, I will have a list of my favorite captain’s/stars in order of preference. This article is for both Draftkings and FanDuel.
MATCH ONE: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
MATCH ONE: INVICTUS GAMING (IG) (-150) VS. SUNING GAMING (SN) (+110).
The first LPL DFS match of the night is one that definitely can be a little tricky if you haven’t been watching the new LPL summer split closely. IG was the powerhouse pretty much halfway through the spring 2020 LPL split. After a few additions were made to multiple different teams to make those teams stronger, IG began to start taking losses.
This summer split lies a new contender, and im not talking about IG. I am talking about Suning. SN has quietly made a statement in their previous two games. In the first game, they strategically beat a team that was a powerhouse last year (ES). The second game was against the 2020 LPL spring split champions (JDG), and they might have lost two to nothing, but they looked like they could easily compete with the best of them. I think SN puts their foot down here and stops IG at the door.
MY PICK: SUNING (SN) (+110).
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
JD GAMING (JDG) (+115) VS. TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-155).
The second match of the night is two of the biggest powerhouses in the LPL. We have JDG and TES facing off once again. JDG had a late-season push in the spring split to push them all the way into the finals. The best part about that is, so did TES. Both teams faced off in a best of five championship series where JDG wiped the floor with them.
It wasn’t long before TES had their revenge. In the seasons midseason cup (MSC), JDG found themselves once again matched up against TES. This time TES did the same thing that JDG did to them in the spring split finals and became the midseason cup champions. They are back at it again and ready to go as hard at each other as they possibly can. This match is a true coinflip. I will have an even 50/50 split of both JDG and TES in my LOL DFS lineups.
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
Loken (ADC) (JDG)
Knight (MID) (TES)
JackeyLove (ADC) (TES)
Huanfeng (ADC) (SN)
Yagao (MID) (JDG)
Puff (ADC) (IG)
SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. I will have 60% of SN and 40% IG. My builds will consist of a 50/50 split of both TES and JDG.
