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 Saturday, June 13th. 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 VICTORY FIVE (V5) VS. LGD GAMING (LGD) -240). The second match is OH MY GOD (OMG) (+220) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG) (-315). 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: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-240) VS. VICTORY FIVE (V5) (+170).
YOU ASK, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! Looking at the first game of this LPL DFS slate, my first thought was to immediately hit the submit all-in button on Victory Five (V5). Instead of making a decision based on emotion, I chose to sit back, take a deep breath, do some more research, and think logically.
After looking more into this game (V5 vs. LGD), I quickly started to change my tune. Even though V5 has looked like they are a top team in their previous two games, the truth is, they haven’t played anyone good.
They have played OMG and DMO. Both of those teams are profoundly lacking skilled players and tend to make a lot of mistakes other teams won’t.
Looking into LGD a little more, going back to the last split, I noticed that this team (LGD) is actually pretty good. They have given some top teams a tough time in the past.
I am by no means saying that V5 is a top tier team but, what I am saying is that they have looked a lot better this split than the last. That does not change my mind, though.
The thing that made me change my mind to go from V5 to LGD was the fact that LGD beat one of the better teams in the league (ES). LGD looked like a team that knew what they were doing, and I think it continues here. V5 should NOT get swept. In fact, they should win one of the games in the best of three series, but I do believe that they lose two of them in a two to one series loss.
I will have LGD in 60% of my LOL LPL DFS lineups and 40% (just in case)(hedge lines) of Victory 5. All of my stacks will either be a four-man stack or a three-man stack.
MY LOL DFS PICK: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-240)
MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.
OH MY GOD (OMG) (+220) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG) (-315).
In the next match of the LOL LPL is, in my opinion, a no brainer. OMG has been obliterated in both of their first two matches this split so far. They looked horrible. I do not think EDG lights up the scoreboard by any means but, I do think they win convincingly. DO NOT FORGET, that it is the beginning of the new season and anything can happen. THE END.
FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:
Kramer (MID) (LGD)
Hope (ADC) (EDG)
Scout(MID) (EDG)
SamD (ADC) (V5)
Xiye (MID) (LGD)
Mole (MID) (V5)
SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT
I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. I do not believe in putting all of my eggs into one basket so, I will have TWO lineups ONLY of OMG, and both are going to be three-man stacks. One lineup stacked with LGD and the other with V5. I will have 80% of EDG. All of my EDG lines will either be a three or four-man stack paired with either V5 or LGD. All of my stacks of LGD (60%) and V5 (40%) will either be a four-man stack or a three-man stack. ADC and MID are always my priorities as captains. If need be, use JNG as captain to force certain stacks of the favorites in.
