Tonight is the first night back for League Of Legends (LOL), and we are coming back in full force with the World Championship! The World Championship is a combination of the best LOL teams in the World playing for that shot at being crowned the best in the World in a very competitive Esports competition. I will give you my top two picks and plays for tonight’s battles on the rift that start at 5 am EST. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is three best of one-game series matches. Without further adieu, let’s get started.
TOP PLAY:
(6:30 am) PSG Talon (PSG) (Projected Kills 6.5) (+400) vs. LGD Gaming (LGD) (-750) ( Projected Kills 17.5).
LGD is coming in as a big favorite, and that is for a good reason. LGD has worked extremely hard since the beginning of the new split to get to where they are now. They went from one of the worst teams in the LPL to one of the best in just a few short months. They are facing off against PSG Talon, a team that is based out of Hong Kong and with what looks like to be a team with minimum chemistry. When they step into the rift, it seems as if they are just going with the flow without any guidance and tend to create easy mistakes and go for the wrong objectives at the wrong time.
LGD will look for easy mistakes, and that’s exactly what they will find. LGD can make PSG regret every mistake that they create, and I believe there will be a lot. In my opinion, LGD will focus on basically forcing themselves right through the middle lane en route to a bloodbath. I think that LGD will have a monster game from both their MID (Xiye) and BOT (Kramer) laners, and will blow the doors off of PSG without any hesitation. Do not overthink picking LGD.
MY ESPORTS DFS TOP PLAY: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-750) (Projected Kills 17.5).
VALUE PLAY:
VALUE PLAY: INTZ (ITZ) (-170) (Projected Kills 12.5) vs. Legacy Esports (LGC) (+125) (Projected Kills 12.5).
This matchup is more of a toss-up, in my opinion. INTZ definitely has the edge and has been paired up and battled against better teams than Legacy without question, but this is a single game, not the best of three, and anything can happen. Legacy finished as the top team in their league for a reason, and it wasn’t by a fluke. They have gelled better this split than any other in the past. The TOP laner and MID laner are two of the best in the league, in my opinion, and I think they could do damage to what is a mediocre team in INTZ.
INTZ has been hit or miss all split and making it very difficult to pick them here. That is the main reason I am siding with Legacy. In these Esports DFS GPPS, many people are going to run with the teams that they know from the “main” leagues such as LGD, MAD, and TL. This could be the perfect opportunity to get different and take a risk, which is exactly what I am doing here. I will have 60% of LGC and 40% of ITZ in my Esports DFS lineups.
MY ESPORTS VALUE DFS PICK: Legacy Esports (LGC) (+125) (Projected Kills 12.5).

ESPORTS DFS SLATE SUMMARY: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
I will be building TEN ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL DFS lineups will consist of 90% LGD, 70% MAD, 60% LGC, 40% ITZ, 30% TL, AND 10% PSG. 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.
