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 OH MY GOD (OMG) (+265) VS. FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-385), and the second match is VICI GAMING (VG) (-160) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG)(+115). 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
OH MY GOD (OMG) (+265) VS. FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-385).
FPX has had a few hiccups throughout this split. They have not looked like the same team from the previous split. FPX has had great opportunities that they have not taken advantage of, and have been in terrible spots that they somehow came out on top. They are on a four-game losing streak right now, losing to a couple of top teams (JDG, TES)and a couple of mediocre teams (RW, VG).
OMG is far from a top-caliber team, but they have shown glimpses of hope. They have demonstrated the same glimpses as both RW and VG, two teams that have beaten FPX. OMG is slowly becoming a more consistent team with their overall kills and strategic planning. In my opinion, I feel as if OMG will give FPX all that they can handle, and I will be throwing a few stacks in OMG’s favor. I will have a 50/50 exposure to OMG and FPX with a slight lean to OMG taking this series in three games.
MY LPL DFS PICK: OH MY GOD (OMG) (+265)
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
VICI GAMING (VG) (-160) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG)(+115).
VG has been looking like a fresh new team as of late. They were on a five-game winning streak, then took losses from JDG and TES. Other than those two games they have been a nonstop kill producing team, destroying everyone in their path. They can potentially be a top contender, eventually. VG might not be a contender this split, but come next split, I can seriously see them getting in the mix.
EDG has looked abysmal recently. They have not proved to be a good team, and are mediocre at best. EDG has been making nonstop mistakes and not capitalizing on opportunities. Even though EDG has taken losses, they have still produced a decent fantasy score, and the same goes for VG. I will have a minimal amount of EDG (30%) and a decent amount of VG stacks (70%) in my lineups.
MY LPL DFS PICK: VICI GAMING (VG) (-160).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
IBOY (VG) (ADC)
SMLZ (OMG) (ADC)
ZEKA (VG) (MID)
ICON(OMG) (MID)
HOPE (EDG) (ADC)
LWX (FPX) (ADC)
SCOUT (EDG) (MID)
DOINB (FPX) (MID)
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% VG, 50% OMG, 50% FPX and 30% EDG. Most of my stacks will be four/three. I will prioritize using ADC and MID in my captain spot.
