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 TEAM WE (WE) (-650) VS. DOMINUS ESPORTS (DMO) (+385) and the second match is JD GAMING (JDG) (-335) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG) (+230). 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: TEAM WE (WE) (-650) VS. DOMINUS ESPORTS (DMO) (+385).
Let’s be real here, DMO is awful. They have one win on the season, and that was against a HOPEless EDG squad. DMO has been beaten up continually. In the one match that they did win, it was like a lightswitch triggered, and Xubin went absolutely bonkers, going for almost 120 Draftkings points
Team WE has been a surprise this split. They have taken losses against two top tier teams and another loss to a mediocre SN team that, in my opinion, got extremely lucky. I do not see WE losing this matchup, but just in case I will have 30% of DMO in my LPL DFS stacks.
Most of my lineups will consist of the elite BOT lane superstar in Jiumeng, who has gone overlooked due to the popularity of his teammate Teacherma. Teacherma is an excellent player on all levels, but don’t forget who their primary source of production has been (Jiumeng). This is why I will be siding with Team WE and 70% of my DFS stacks.
MY LPL DFS PICK: TEAM WE (WE) (-650).
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
MATCH TWO: JD GAMING (JDG) (-335) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG) (+230).
This is a cut and dry pick. JDG is elite, and I made a mistake last time going against them when they faced IG. I will not make the mistake of going against them again. JDG is a real powerhouse and reigning LPL champions. Even though TES won the mid-season cup and are currently number one in the LPL, I believe JDG will come back and give them hell.
As for EDG, they do not stand a chance in beating JDG. JDG is well-rounded and is killing on all cylinders. They are a team that will capitalize on any mistake, and EDG makes plenty of them. I will have shares of EDG (30%) but only as a hedge to my lines. JDG all day for me here and will be covering 70% of my LPL DFS stacks.
MY LPL DFS PICK: JD GAMING (JDG) (-335).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
JIUMENG (WE) (ADC)
LOKEN (JDG) (ADC)
YAGAO (JDG) (MID)
KANAVI (JDG) (JNG)
TEACHERMA (WE) (MID)
BEISHANG (JNG) (JNG)
XUBIN (DMO) (ADC)
HOPE (EDG) (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 70% JDG, 70% WE, 30% EDG, and 30% DMO. 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 WE including the team option, one player from DMO OR EDG, and two players from JDG). If my priority FOUR-MAN stack is “four” JDG players, (Example, “FOUR” JDG players, “TWO” WE OR DMO players, and “ONE” EDG, WE OR DMO player. I will NEVER use the team option that is playing my four-man stack in the same lineup.
