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 Tuesday 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 LGD GAMING (LGD) (-700) VS. DOMINUS ESPORTS (DMO) (+395). The second match is TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-2000) VS. OH MY GOD (OMG) (+750). 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: DOMINUS ESPORTS (DMO) (+395) VS. LGD GAMING (LGD) (-700) VS.
Let’s hope this match doesn’t turn out like the first match of the game yesterday when the heavy favorite started things with a loss because of a massive pregame mistake one of the players made, but we aren’t here to dwell on the past, we are here to take down gpps. LGD is coming into this match with an impressive start to the new LPL summer split with wins over V5 and ES.
Both of those three-game series went the distance, and LGD came out on top both times. Did they looked very impressive, or was it just their opponents not looking so good?
In this match, I do not think my previous question even matters. DMO is coming into this match starting slow and looking pretty bad this new split so far, losing by clean sweep to the same teams that LGD beat (V5 and ES).
There should not be much of a decision here as I think DMO gets swept again, but with the way things have been rolling lately, I will DEFINITELY have some exposure to the winless DMO squad.
I will be building my lineups with 70% exposure to LGD and 30% exposure to DMO.
MY LPL DFS PICK: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-700).
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
MATCH TWO: TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-2000) VS. OH MY GOD (OMG) (+750).
I know what your thinking; some heavy favorites have been taken out lately by some lousy teams, but I DO NOT CARE! I will not be overthinking this one. TES is the JUGGERNAUT of the LPL right now, the best team, hands down. They are elite at every stage of the game. OMG’s chances to dethrone TES here are slim to none.
I NEVER go all-in on a team, but this is as close as it gets. Knight (MID) and JackeyLove (ADC) are going to have a field day here, dominating all over the map. I do not think this score gets overwhelming, though. OMG has done a great job of avoiding team fights and farming in their previous games. They have not let up massive kill numbers like some other teams in the LPL have. TES should have no problem giving OMG the beat down.
TES could come out with a mirror strategy to OMG, relying heavily on both their TOP laner (369) and their Support player (yuyanjia) in order to build up their champions to an elite level just as fast, if not faster than OMG, then finish them off in the late stages of the game. I believe TES will sweep here, and both favorites come out on top today.
MY LPL DFS PICK: TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-2000).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
Knight (MID) (TES)
JackeyLove (ADC) (TES)
LangX (TOP) (LGD)
369 (TOP) (TES)
Karsa (JNG) (TES)
yuyanjia (SUP) (TES)
Kramer (ADC) (LGD)
Helper (ADC) (DMO)
SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL LPL DFS lineups will consist of 90% TES, 70% LGD, 30% DMO, and 10% OMG. All of my stacks will be four/three. I will prioritize using ADC and MID in my captain spot. Any lineup that I can not use ADC or MID because of salary requirements, I will be using JNG/TOP/SUP. This is a slate that if you want to roster both favorites in one lineup, you will have to go JNG, TOP, or SUP in your captain spot.
