10/6 League of Legends DFS Breakdown, LOL Worlds edition
Welcome to my 10/6 League of Legends DFS Breakdown: Worlds Edition. Yesterday we got off to a hot start with the early slate and continued that into the main slate with stacks of DFM. For tomorrow I do like the early slate, though it may be a bit chalky, the main slate is going to be the one in question, for the most part, tomorrow as I believe it is the most contested we have had. Let’s take a look at these games to continue on our success from yesterday’s slate. For the early slate, we get the pleasure of having LNG vs RED and HLE vs PCE. Though we aren’t going to have to really get into it until we hit the main slate. We have a 4 game main slate including INF vs PCE, RED vs HLE, BYG vs C9, and GS vs DFM. Now, this is going to be a slate that is more up in the air and one that I am going to be looking into to try to get an edge here. Let’s dig into this slate for tomorrow.
Early Only Slate
LNG vs RED and HLE vs PCE
This is a set of games I see no reason to spend too much time on as we saw yesterday how these are two of the best teams in the play-in stage are LNG and HLE. While on the other hand of their respective matchups we see some of the worst regions at Worlds in RED and PCE. I see both of these matches being very one-sided and the LNG vs RED game being considerably faster faced than HLE vs PCE. All of my looks tomorrow are going to include 4 LNG in this matchup against the RED candids who are bad and a higher-paced team in the tournament overall. HLE vs PCE on the other hand is one of the slower-paced matchups we are going to have on the day and that is why I will only be taking 3 stacks from this match as much as possible. We are playing our 4 stacks from LNG and we are doing that any way needed (ALE IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED) I love ALE too as he has embraced the role of carrying the squad.
Main Slate
INF vs PCE
We get the chance here to look into another matchup of the dogs, two of the lower-ranking teams we have at this tournament. Though when looking into the two teams there is a distinctive distance in how they played yesterday. INF played two games and looked truly like a bottom-tier team through their playstyle. PCE on the other hand looked a bit better even up against their competition in LNG. I am really leaning toward PCE for the play here but I do not like them to put up the numbers we are going to need in a win. This is going to be one of those toss-up matches for tomorrow and I believe that it is one that I will be staying away from. The pick here is PCE to win but I am not going to play them in any more than a three-stack tomorrow.
RED vs HLE
HLE is going to be one of the higher owned teams on the slate and I really can’t see why not. HLE is one of the slower-paced teams here, yes, but RED is also one of the faster-paced teams in the league. I don’t like to tout this many matches as open and shut but I do like HLE to roll here even if they have looked shaky so far at this tournament. HLE is going to carry a lot of ownership and I am going to be taking this into consideration when building. I like HLE to win this matchup and to do so in a possibly bloody manner. Take HLE, I like them mostly as 3 stacks but I am willing to throw some 4 stacks in with them.
C9 vs BYG
I was a big supporter of Beyond on the opening slate, then they proceeded to come out with a new top laner and act as they have never before played League of legends. Beyond looked atrocious out on the rift and now they are against a much better opponent in C9, I am even less confident in them tonight. I expect C9 to roll BYG and I really like Perkz to have a repeat performance, and be able to show up in domination here over BYG. If BYG is going to have a chance here it is going to be through their stellar ADC in Doggo, but if he wasn’t able to carry them over GS, I highly doubt he will be able to carry them over C9. I am taking C9 to win here tonight and I do like their upside a bit but they’re not my favorite play of the day.
DFM vs GS
This is our last matchup on the day and one I expect to be the key to our success tonight. This match is home to one of my favorite plays on the day in GS as they have looked incredible so far, if they hold the lead then they are going to win the matchup. GS is setting up to be one of the best lower-tier team fighting teams in the tournament, their team-fighting KDA is an astonishing 1.89 and I am expecting this number to lead them to a few surprise wins in this tournament. I am also a firm believer in DFM as a team and an organization and a squad that finally gets to come into the international stage at full power. They are going to have a chance in this game no doubt, but I am going to prefer GS here, and even though they are a slower playing team, they have kicked it up this tournament and I do not see that stopping here. GS is my main 4 stack on the day.
Summary
For the early slate, I am really going to be looking to be chalky and normal in playing LNG and HLE, with my 4 stacks coming straight from LNG with either Tarzan and Ale, filling these out with HLE. When approaching the main slate my favorite 4 stacks are going to be GS, they looked immaculate yesterday in their team fighting and that is something I expect them to strive from in their matchups. I also wouldn’t be against 4 stacking HLE or PCE but I’m going to be mainly sticking to 3 stacks from those teams. Good luck on day two of worlds everyone and I hope we have another great day of league.
