On the 4/23 Esports DFS Slate, I am going to focus on my favorite LOL stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel. My LOL targets can be used in both cash games and GPP’s. When playing LOL, I recommend playing Tournaments.
#1 Target: FC Schalke Evolution (S04E) (-1250).
Yesterday we watched S04E get locked down and beat up by the Movistar Riders, but this matchup is far from as tough of a challenge. S04E is facing off against Team Singularity (SNG) (+620). SNG is a very low kill producing, passive team, that looks like a bunch of fish out of water when they are dropped into the map. SNG was just dismantled by K1ck Neosurf (K1CK). K1CK is a good team, but in my opinion, S04E is better. They should go in and tare apart SNG on all angles and in every position. S04E should produce some of the highest fantasy scorers on the ESPORTS DFS slate. S04E has the highest projected kills (19.5) on the day, sharing the top spot with only mousesports (MOUZ). I will have a lot of FC Schalke 04 Evolution stacks in my lineups.
#2 Target: Gamers Origin (GO) (-175).
GO is the 2020 spring split champions of Ligue Francaise de League of Legends (LFL). They are coming into the EU Masters on an ultimate high, after downing their opponent (LDLC) three to zip in a best of five series in the LFL split finals. GO is a highly aggressive team with a very productive ADC (XDSMILEY). They are matched up versus BT Excel (BTXL) (+129) in the tightest game that Vegas has projected. I believe that GO will come out firing on all cylinders, dominate the mid-stage, and pull away in the late stage of the game. This matchup has a total projected kills total of 28, which is another match that is tied for the highest with eSuba (8.5) vs. mouseports (19.5). GO has a higher kill projection in this battle (15.5) than BTXL (12.5). I’m going to have a decent amount of GO stacks in my lineups. I believe that Gamers Origin could be a great leverage play in GPPs, and I want to be on the positive side. I don’t see GO losing this fight after just recently being crowned the champions of the LFL.
#3 Target: Fnatic Rising (FNC.R) (-556).
FNC.R just put on a show, destroying their previous opponent (eSuba). Even though eSuba is not a team that puts up that big of a fight, FNC.R is facing off another bottom-tier team in the Energypot Wizards (WIZ) (+340). WIZ was just humiliated by MOUZ, and I see an identical scenario happening here. FNC.R is a high flying, kill-happy, massive fantasy producing team. When they fight, they don’t just go for the Towers, the Harolds, the Dragons, they don’t stop until every enemy in their sight is eliminated. FNC.R doesn’t try to go around their opponents; they go through them. There is not a scenario in my mind that WIZ pulls the upset here. FNC.R is too good. They have a team projected kill total of 17.5. I will have plenty of FNC.R in my lineups, and I do not see any reason why anyone should not be playing them. Even though they have a steep price tag, I am going to find a way to play at least two players from FNC.R in about 50 percent of my lineups.
HONORABLE MENTION STACKS:
mousesports (MOUZ) (-1250)
Movistar Riders (MRS) (-345)
YDN Gamers (YDN) (+190)
Favorite Captains:
XDSMILEY (GO) (ADC)
Neon (S04E) (ADC)
xMatty (FNC.R) (ADC)
Jeskla (MOUZ) (ADC)
MagiFelix (S04E) (MID)
SLATE SUMMARY:
On the 4/23 six-game ESPORTS DFS slate, prioritizing ADC in my captain spot. I am going to have, at minimum, two players from S04E or FNC.R in every lineup I create. I am going to have at least three of my lineups with full four-man stacks from GO. In other lineups, I will have various stacks of YDN, MOUZ, and MRS. I will be building only four-three and four-two-one stacks. My “one” will either be an ADC or a team.
Good luck tonight, and don’t forget to come back and WIN DAILY.
