LOL DFS: Naldo’s Legendary LOL LEC Picks for 7/24

Today we will be looking at the LOL LEC slate 2020 Summer Split on 7/24/2020 @ 12:00 pm EST. Below I will provide my top three targets for cash games for the day, correlation plays, as well as projected lineups to make your building of a line a lot easier. Any questions about the article or tips feel free to hit me up on discord.

Top 3 Picks for Cash Games

SK Gaming (SK)(-160) vs. exceL Esports(XL)(+115).

We have a matchup between SK, a solid middle of the pack team against Excel Esports who are just struggling left and right. I am expecting SK to once again be one of my favorite teams to roster for this slate. I called them to do well last time and they broke the slate. While I do not expect them to do the same as last time, they should still provide some decent fantasy production for their price as a low owned stack to have. Make sure you mix them up with a few favorites to stack with. I would try to focus more on the bot lane of this team, but full stacks are viable. They also serve as decent 2 man stacks for cash games. 

LEC FAVORITE CAPTAINS:

• (MID) ZAZEE  (GPP option)
• (ADC) Crownshot (Top Optimal option)

LEC Pick to win: SK Gaming

Team Origen (OG) (-245) vs Team Vitality (VT)(+145).

Origen has been one of the top teams that we thought had made some questionable roster movements. But in the end, actually worked out for them when they acquired Jactrol. Jactrol quickly showed the ability to mesh together in a brand new team with his versatility with champions in the field. Team Vitality has shown flashes of beating decent teams, but they are the prime example of ¨flopping¨. Vitality has been great in the early game, beating opponents with ease. But mid-game comes in and they completely forget how to play the game and no matter how much lead they have THEY WILL give it up and lose the game. I believe Origen will have a massive upside in this game, as Vitality loves to fight. Let’s just hope we don’t get one of the miracle games and the upset happens. Because at the end of the day, Vitality has the ability to beat on any team early. If they actually manage to close out a game they can pull an upset.

 LEC FAVORITE CAPTAINS:

• (TOP) Alphari (Value option)
• (JNG) XERXE (GPP option)
• (ADC) UPSET (Top Optimal option)

LEC Pick to win: ORIGEN

G2 Esports (G2) (-650) vs Schalke S04 (FCS)(+390).

This should not surprise anyone, though if you have been reading my articles lately you would know that Mad Lions would normally be occupying the last spot of my ¨3 Teams to Target”. G2 has a much softer matchup here that there is no way they could mess this up… right? Regardless we have a prime matchup for G2 Esports to show why they are still a powerhouse and put up some decent upside. Schalke are one of those teams that roll over and give up kills like it is candy. So expect G2 to actually capitalize here and give you a decent upside for your G2 stacks. I do prefer them in cash games, but do not mind them in GPP as the upside potential is always there with G2 in such a smash spot. 

 LEC FAVORITE CAPTAINS:

• (TOP) Wunder (Top Cheap value)
• (MID) Caps (Top Optimal option)
• (ADC) Perkz (Top gpp option)
• (SUP) MickyX (Cheap value)

LEC Pick to win:  G2 Esports

HIGH UPSIDE TEAMS TO CONSIDER:

Rogue: [Solid matchup with a lot of upside, probably falls into cash territory but most importantly have GPP takedown potential.]

MAD Lions: [We all know what they can do, day in and day out. I am not feeling the FNC matchup as a minor mistake can cost them the game. But Mad Lions is clean, and I doubt they will mess around. Depending on how aggressive FNC decides to be Mad Lions will either have an average solid output or completely go off. The price does throw me off a little but their upside always pays off.]

Fnatics: [I just finished suggesting Mad Lions, but I cannot go without giving some credit to a top team in the league that has struggled. Like I explained above, if Mad Lions slip up and commit some errors Fnatic will make them pay and will take the game if allowed to and will have a lot of upside if they do win.]
