On the 4/12 Esports DFS Slate I am going to focus on my favorite LOL stacks for DraftKings only. This is now the LEC and LCS playoffs. Instead of these games being a best of one, they are now a best of five series. In each DFS lineup, you create, you are going to have to get different. If you chose to go the traditional stack, you would likely be tied with a hundred different players. Coming into this, I am still going to focus on fitting in an ADC or a MID in my captain spot. It is also ok to completely stack one of these games, just to have a unique lineup. I am targeting GPP’s ONLY.
G2 Esports (G2)(-550) vs. Origen (OG) (+340):
This is another game similar to Cloud9 yesterday. G2 is coming in with a huge projected kills (PK) per game (18.5) and is a top-notch team on all angles of the map. Last week they took a heartbreaking loss against Mad Lions (MAD). They are the better team. G2 can play on multiple different levels; They can either destroy their opponents by sneaky strategic ganks or can be extremely aggressive and fight right through them. Origen is a good team but does not stand a chance in this matchup, and there is a big difference in projected kills (11.5). G2 is going to come out guns blazing and rip them apart up and down the map. The loss to MAD was caused by a few minor mistakes that were capitalized on perfectly by MAD. OG does not have the ability, in my opinion, to do what MAD did to G2. OG is not a very aggressive team. Their main focus is scaling, and if they try to do that versus G2, they are in for a long day. I expect G2 to dismantle OG piece by piece, and I think that G2 wins this series in a three-game sweep. I will have a lot of G2 in my ESPORTS DFS lineups.
MY PICK: G2 Esports (G2).
Team SoloMid (TSM) (-220) vs. Flyquest (+155) (FLY):
Matchup number two of the day is the matchup that I believe is where all the money will be made, and where I will be getting “different ” with my lineup build. FLY and TSM are very similar to each other in play style. Both of these teams can play the “wait and see” approach and attempt to capitalize on their opponent’s mistakes, or they can attempt to run right through each other. This matchup is the one I will be targeting the most. I love the idea of having players from both teams in separate lineup build and in the same one. FLY has an “okay” projected kills (PK) per game (9.5), but TSM has a better one (13.5). In my opinion, this is a battle that the PK is not a good measure of how it is going to play out. I can easily see both sides hitting about 15 PK per game, and this game going to a game five. In this matchup, there is going to be a lot of fantasy production. Both of these teams can go for anywhere between 25 and 35 fantasy points per game. I do believe TSM wins this series, but you can feel great knowing that FLY will also produce decent fantasy numbers.
FAVORITE CAPTAINS:
My favorite captains of this two-game LOL DFS slate are Perkz and Caps from G2, Bjergsen, and Kobbe from TSM, PowerOfEvil, and WildTurtle from FLY. My highest exposure captains will be Caps, Bjergsen, and PowerOfEvil.
SLATE SUMMARY:
I will be building seven ESPORTS DFS lineups. I will have a primary stack (main) of G2. I will be stacking FLY with G2 in two, TSM with G2 in two, G2, FLY, and TSM in one, and will have another two full game stacks with FLY and TSM. In most of my lineups, I will have either an ADC or a MID player in my captain spot. If I can not fit the MID or ADC, I will use the SUP position or will mix in a third team to use at the SUP position and Team option (three-two-two or four-two-one stack).
