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 FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-1600) VS. DOMINUS ESPORTS (DMO) (+650), and the second match is BILIBILI GAMING (BLG) (+195) VS. LGD GAMING (LGD) (-280). 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
FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-1600) VS. DOMINUS ESPORTS (DMO) (+650).
This will definitely be a popular pick, and it’s pretty much a lock for cash games and GPPs. I do not see DMO putting up a fight. They have been beaten, punished, and embarrassed by some of the worst teams in the LPL. With that being said, they are facing one of the best teams in the LPL and have a stylistic matchup that does not favor them one bit.
I am going to rely heavily on FPX here. I will have about 90% exposure to FPX in my DFS lineups, with only 10% going to DMO as a “just in case” situation. My 10% will basically be like throwing money in the garbage or flushing it down the toilet. DMO is terrible and, in my opinion, should not even be in the LPL after this split. They have been an embarrassment to the league and have been feeding kills to their opponents. Every team has basically swept DMO, and I don’t see how they do not get swept in this spot. Don’t get tricky with this matchup. Run with FPX.
MY LPL DFS PICK: FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-1600).
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
BILIBILI GAMING (BLG) (+195) VS. LGD GAMING (LGD) (-280).
Even though for some reason, people have been flocking to BLG as of late, I still do not see it. They have been at the ass-end of lineup construction since the beginning of the split. Wings is the ADC for BLG, and he is hugely overrated, FoFo (BLG MID-LANER) is far from an experienced, top-caliber player. Xinmo, their Support player, does not do much supporting. This team is in shambles. I do not see them beating a team like LGD, an organization that is on the rise and can compete with the best in the LPL.
LGD has relied on Xiye and Kramer (MID & ADC) to do the bulk of their killing and production. They are looking more and more like an elite team with every game that passes. If LGD could end all of the easy mistakes, they will be competing for the top spot. Until then, they will stay as an “up and coming” team, beating the lower ranks in the process. I will have 70% of LGD in my lineups and 30% of BLG.
MY LPL DFS PICK: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-280).
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
LWX (FPX) (ADC)
DOINB (FPX) (MID)
KRAMER (LGD) (ADC)
XIYE (LGD) (MID)
TIAN (FPX) (JNG)
GIMGOON (FPX) (TOP)
PEANUT (LGD) (JNG)
LANGX (LGD) (TOP)
WINGS (BLG) (ADC)
FOFO (BLG) (MID)
XUBIN (DMO) (ADC)
SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
I will be building TEN ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL LPL DFS lineups will consist of 90% FPX, 70% LGD, 30% BLG and 10% DMO. Most of my stacks will be four/three. I will prioritize using ADC and MID in my captain spot. If I can not use ADC or MID, I will use any of the other positions to build my lineups with the teams I have selected.
