LOL DFS: Naldo’s Legendary LOL LCS Picks for 8/7
Today we will be looking at the LOL LCS two-game slate 2020 Summer Split on 8/7/2020 @ 9:00 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.
8/7 LCS Slate Breakdown
Team Dignitas (DIG)(+425) vs. Cloud 9 (C9)(-750).
TEAM Dignitas | Cloud9 [CASH] |
VIPER | LICORICE |
DARDOCH | BLABER |
FENIX | NISQY |
JOHNSUN | ZVEN |
APHROMOO | VULCAN |
This is a pretty straight forward matchup, I have nearly zero exposure to Team Dignitas given that Cloud 9 are one of the top three teams in the LCS and I firmly believe they are highly motivated to win this game to at least attempt at getting the lead over TSM in the standings. Team Dignitas is in a must win situation if they want to push forward to get in the playoffs, which says a lot about the skill gap between top teams and the bad ones since DIG is 4-12 for the season with a legit shot to make the playoffs. Cloud 9 is the clear favorite in every statistical record given for this match with good reasoning. Cloud9 is your cash lock for the slate.
LCS Favorite Plays:
- Cloud 9
- (TOP) Licorice
- (JNG) Blaber
- (ADC) Zven
- (SUP) Vulcan
LCS Pick to win: Cloud 9
Team SoloMid (TSM)(-175) vs. Golden Guardians (GG)(+125).
TEAM SoloMid [CASH] | Golden Guardians [GPP] |
BROKEN BLADE | HAUNTZER |
SPICA | CLOZER |
BJERGSEN | DAMONTE |
DOUBLELIFT | FBI |
TREATZ | HUHI |
Team SoloMid is the clear cash game option here as the ownership suggests so as well as the matchup. Team SoloMid comes in with a nice 11-5 record tied with Cloud 9 as one of the best teams in the LCS. Golden Guardians are not so far behind with a respectable record of 9-7. Overall the matchup should be a fun one and while I do suggest TSM for cash, there is no doubt that I will also have some Golden Guardian shares as they have been on a decent roll as of late. Golden Guardians actually lead in terms of in game stats, except FB/FT ratio where TSM seems to be the more likely aggressor of the match.
I am expecting a very competitive game throughout most of the game unless TSM just finds a way to get ahead early due to their aggression and early game. I do have TSM to win the match, but wouldn’t be surprised if GG won either. Considering TSM will be highly owned across the board, GG are an intriguing gpp option to get away from the field.
LCS Favorite Plays:
- Team SoloMid (Cash option)
- (JNG) Spica
- (MID) Bjergsen
- (ADC) Doublelift
- (SUP) Treatz
- Golden Guardians (GPP)
- (TOP) Hauntzer
- (JNG) Clozer
- (MID) Damonte
- (ADC) FBI
LCS Pick to win: Team Solomid
