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 LNG ESPORTS (LNG) (-155) VS. BILIBILI GAMING (BLG) (+115) and the second match is ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP (RNG) (-110) VS. TEAM WE (WE) (-125). 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: LNG ESPORTS (LNG) (-155) VS. BILIBILI GAMING (BLG) (+115).
STARTIG LINEUPS:
The first match of the day is by no means the most exciting one. This match is the pregame to the real moneymaker, but we still have to predict the winner in order to create some winning DFS lineups. LNG started out the summer split, looking like a team that had things put together, but man were we wrong.
Currently sitting on a two-loss and four-win record, they are quickly falling to the bottom of the leaderboards. The problem with LNG is mistakes. They seem to make one or two monumental mistakes every game, which leads to their demise. The funny thing is, their losses are to VG, OMG, ES, and SN. Losing to all middle-tier teams, but their wins are against two of the best teams in the LPL, RNG, and FPX.
LNG has been challenging to figure out this split. If LNG catches fire and does not make mistakes, they have proven they can compete with the best of them.
On the other side is another sub-par team in BLG. BLG has one win on the split so far, and that came against Estar, a former powerhouse last split in the LPL. They have taken losses to TES, V5, FPX, and VG. In my opinion, I think LNG comes through and beats BLG in a full three-game series. If LNG comes out firing, BLG will be unable to slow them down, and you can start counting your money because I believe they will be coming in at low ownership due to their increase in salaries across the DFS industry.
MY LPL DFS PICK: LNG ESPORTS (LNG) (-155).
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
MATCH TWO: ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP (RNG) (-110) VS. TEAM WE (WE) (-125).
STARTING LINEUPS:
This is the match that everyone is targeting. WE has surprised the world, coming out of the gate on fire and giving hell to some of the best teams in the LPL. Even though they have losses to FPX and SN, those losses were due to miscommunication and champion selection, in my opinion.
RNG just took a beating from V5. V5 has been the surprise of the LPL this split. Just like WE, RNG is also sitting on a pair of losses. Their losses came by the hands of V5 and LNG. RNG can easily push for a win here, but it won’t be as easy as many think.
WE will give them everything that they can handle, and I would not be surprised if either team won here. The vegas odds are spot on, and I will be filling my DFS lineups with 50% of each team.
MY LPL DFS PICK: ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP (RNG) (-110).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
CRYIN (RNG) (MID)
BETTY (RNG) (ADC)
LIGHT (LNG) (ADC)
MAPLE (LNG) (MID)
JIUMENG (WE) (ADC)
TEACHERMA (WE) (MID)
WINGS (BLG) (ADC)
SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
I will be building fifteen ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL LPL DFS lineups will consist of 50% RNG, 50% WE, 70% LNG, and 30% BLG. Most of my stacks will be four/three. I will prioritize using ADC and MID in my captain spot.
On Fanduel, I will be running ALL four-two-one stacks. MY “four” will consist of my star and ANY three other positions (TOP, JNG, MID, ADC, SUP). In my priority FOUR-man stacks, I WILL NOT use the opposing team option in that stack. It is okay to use the “one’ or “two” stack from the opposition of my four-man stack. (Example, FOUR players from LNG including the team option, one player from WE, and two players from RNG). If my priority FOUR-MAN stack is “four” RNG players, (Example, “FOUR” RNG players, “TWO” LNG or WE players, and “ONE” LNG or WE player. I will NEVER use the team option that is playing my four-man stack in the same lineup.
