7/3 ESPORTS DFS: League of Legends LPL/LCK Breakdown Featuring Jim Thomson

We are going to start by breaking down the four-game LPL LCK DFS slate scheduled to go off at 4 am Eastern standard time on. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 4 am SHARP. The slate is four best of three-game series combining games from the LPL and LCK (Chinese and Korean League). I will be giving a short and to the point breakdown of each match.

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: LCK SUMMER SPLIT

MATCH ONE (LCK): KT ROLSTER (KT) (-180) VS. SEOLHAEONE PRINCE (SP) (+130).

LCK PROJECTED STARTERS:

In the first match of the night is a matchup that not many people will flock to. If you have done your research, you will know that both of these teams feed a lot of kills to their opponents.

SP has been one of my favorite teams to target against this split and in the spring split when they were known as APK. KT is far from a dominant team, and SP is by no means a top contender, but I recommend that you get at least a little exposure to this game, as it could be a high kill producing game if things play outright.

I will have a bit more exposure to KT but not by much as this match is a coinflip, and both teams have the potential to produce high volume kills against the other. For this matchup, my stacks will consist of 60% KT and 40% SP.

MY LCK DFS PICK: KT ROLSTER (KT) (-180).

MATCH TWO: LPL SUMMER SPLIT.

MATCH TWO (LPL): TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-1600) VS. LNG ESPORTS (+650).

CONFIRMED STARTERS:

Let’s be honest. Everyone in the world is going to be banking on TES to obliterate LNG here. LNG is on a losing streak, and TES is on fire. Knight and JackeyLove have been dismantling their opponents one game at a time. This match has the potential to have the highest producing team
(TES).

I just want to throw in one little curveball, even though I will have a hefty amount of TES in my LOL DFS stacks, let’s not forget the team that took out both RNG and FPX as massive underdogs in back to back games (LNG). I usually would say one win is a fluke, but two huge wins back to back shows me that they play up to top tier opponents. My exposure will be 70% TES and 30% LNG (testing the play up theory).

MY LPL DFS PICK: TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-1600).

MATCH THREE: LCK SUMMER SPLIT.

MATCH THREE (LCK): SK TELECOM T1 (T1) (-130) VS. GEN.G ESPORTS (GEN) (-105).

LCK PROJECTED STARTERS:

T1 is the previous spring split champions. They were on a nice heater to begin the new split after losing to DRX, went on a three-game win streak, and then they were taken out in an ugly performance by DWG. In their three-game win streak, they produced massive fantasy numbers.

GEN is continuously being overlooked as if they are not one of the best teams in the LCK. GEN started the split off on a bad note losing to DRX, but losing to DRX has been the new trend in the LCK, as they are by far the best team in the league.

DO NOT FORGET that GEN is one of the biggest powerhouses in the LCK, and after that loss to DRX, they have been extremely hot, winning four straight matches. I believe that GEN is a better team than T1 and can use their strategy against them to beat them in a close three-game series. I will have 60% of GEN stacks and 40% of T1 stacks in my DFS lineups.

MY LCK DFS PICK: GEN.G ESPORTS (GEN) (-105).

MATCH FOUR: LPL SUMMER SPLIT.

MATCH FOUR (LPL): VICI GAMING (VG) (-105) VS. ESTAR GAMING (ES) (-130).

CONFIRMED STARTERS:

This is the match that has me a little frustrated. At first glance, I wanted to jam ES into almost every lineup, and I’m pretty positive that is what everyone that plays LOL DFS is going to do. Before I tell you this take a deep breath. Okay, are you ready?

ESTAR IS MEDIOCRE; they are no longer that rookie team from the last split that went on a massive winning streak and beat everyone in their path until the end of the season. ES is struggling. They have TWO wins and FOUR losses on the split so far. The fact that ES has players that have a higher salary than some TES players blows my mind. THIS IS GOING TO BE A CLOSE GAME! The Vegas odds have ES -130 and VG -105 (coinflip). Why in the world are they so overpriced on DFS sites?

VG is not a great team by any means, but they too have TWO wins on the split so far. They beat LNG two games to one, and they swept BLG. BLG BEAT ESTAR! I will have more exposure to VG than I will have of ES, but I am not going crazy on this game due to the ridiculous salaries of ES. My exposure will consist of 60% VG stacks and 40% ES stacks.

MY LPL DFS PICK: VICI GAMING (VG) (-105).

FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:

JACKEYLOVE (TES) (ADC)

KNIGHT (TES) (MID)

RULER (GEN) (ADC)

AIMING (KT) (ADC)

TEDDY (T1) (ADC)

IBOY (VG) (ADC)

WINK (ES) (ADC)

LIGHT (LNG) (ADC)

HYBRID (SP) (ADC)

SLATE SUMMARY: LPL LCK SUMMER SPLIT

I will be building twenty ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL DFS lineups will consist of 70% TES, 60% KT, 60% VG, 60% GEN, 40% T1, 40% SP, 40% ES, and 30% LNG. 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. My main focus is trying to build lineups using my favorite captain/star for each individual team stack.
