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 Monday 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 VICTORY FIVE (V5) (+105) VS. VICI GAMING (VG) (-145) and the second match is ESTAR (ES) (+170) VS. ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP (RNG) (-235). 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: VICTORY FIVE (V5) (+105) VS. VIGI GAMING (VG) (-145).
STARTIG LINEUPS:
Starting with the first match of the day, VICTORY FIVE (V5) (+105) VS. VIGI GAMING (VG) (-145). In my eyes, I believe Vegas has the wrong odds today. I feel as if V5 should be favorites here.
V5 has shown way more positive output, and way more production than VG has this split so far. Victory Five has won three out of their four series so far this summer split, and Vici Gaming has won ONLY one series so far. V5 has completely turned it around compared to the last split. They have given me no more reasons to doubt them, and I will not be going against them here.
In my opinion, I think V5 takes this series two games to one, with SamD being the most significant source of production. V5 will be in 70% of my DFS lineups, and VG will be in 30%.
MY LPL DFS PICK: VICTORY FIVE (V5) (+105).
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
MATCH TWO: ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP (RNG) (-235) VS. ESTAR (ES) (+170).
STARTING LINEUP:
The second match is another one where I believe Vegas messed up a little bit. ES should be the underdogs, but the Vegas line should not be as high as it is. These two teams are a lot closer in skill than Vegas says they are today. ES has the ability to go out there and potentially slaughter any team in the LPL if they are on point.
On the other side, RNG has beaten some of the top teams and can also beat anyone on any given day. Both of these LPL teams are high kill producers, and this match could go either way.
I am going to lean another underdog here and go with ESTAR in 70% of my lineups and having RNG in 30%.
MY LPL DFS PICK: ESTAR (ES) (+170) .
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
Wink (ADC) (ES)
SamD (ADC) (V5)
FenFen (MID) (ES)
Mole (MID) (V5)
Betty (ADC) (RNG)
iBoy (ADC) (VG)
Xiaohu (MID) (RNG)
Forge (MID) (VG)
SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL LPL DFS lineups will consist of 70% ES, 70% V5, 30% VG, and 30% RNG. 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. If by chance, JNG does not fit and ONLY if I can not fit the three prior positions, I will use a TOP or SUP in my captain spot.
