League Of Legends DFS: Naldo’s LOL LCS 6/12 Targets

Today we will be looking into the first slate of the split for the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/12/2020 @ 8:30 pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets, correlation plays, as well as projected lineups to make your building of a line a lot easier for this LOL LCS DFS slate. Any questions about the article or tips feel free to hit me up on discord.

LOL LCS Slate Breakdown:

Cloud9 (C9) (-500) vs. FlyQuest (FLY)(+305).

LOL Starting Rosters: (Primary captain options will be in capital lettering)

Cloud9 (C9)(-500):

• (TOP) LICORICE
• (JNG) BLABER
• (MID) NISQY
• (ADC) ZVEN
• (SUP) VULCAN

FlyQuest (FLY)(+305):

• (TOP) Solo
• (JNG) Santorin
• (MID) POWEROFEVIL
• (ADC) WILDTURTLE
• (SUP) IgNar

Cloud9, arguably one of the best teams in LoL if not the best if G2 doesn’t have anything to say about it. Last LoL spring split they finished with an overall record of 17-1 and a 94% win rate for the regular split. FlyQuest another solid team that finished with an overall record of 10W-8L in the regular spring split that shined mostly towards the end of the season. Ultimately these two teams ended up meeting in the finals where C9 completely destroyed them, not allowing them to win a single game in the road to take the throne and be claimed as the spring playoffs champions.

Honestly, I do not see FlyQuest getting upset, but would not be overly surprised if they did manage to win here. After all, FlyQuest did sweep through the losers bracket to reach the LoL LCS finals after losing in the first round against Evil Geniuses, which they did beat in round 3 of the playoffs. But to be realistic, Cloud9 should have this game and it should show just how good they are.

This is a very cocky team in the LoL, and they expressed that on twitter when they took shots at the entire league. Literally saying that they are disappointed with the non-existent competition that they have in the LCS. I do not blame them at all, as their record reflects just that. They have been the juggernauts of this league and there is no one to compete against them. 

LOL LCS Pick to win: Cloud9

Evil Geniuses (EG)(-165) vs. 100 Thieves (100)(+120).

LOL Starting Rosters: (Primary captain options will be in capital lettering)

Evil Geniuses (EG)(-165):

• (TOP) Kumo
• (JNG) Svenskeren
• (MID) JIZUKE
• (ADC) BANG
• (SUP) Zeyzal

100 Thieves (100)(+120):

• (TOP) Ssumday
• (JNG) Meteos
• (MID)  Ryoma
• (ADC) CODYSUN
• (SUP) Stunt

This should be a pretty even matchup between Evil Geniuses, and 100 Thieves. You can make a case for 100 Thieves having the highest upside when they do win, as they do tend to play a little bit more aggressive. But Evil Geniuses were not phased by any of their aggression. In fact, these two teams met three times during the season where they split 1-1 record and had to go on a tiebreaker match which Evil Geniuses ultimately won. Evil Geniuses with the tiebreaker win over 100 Thieves allowed them to secure second place in the standings, while 100T secured for third, both ending with a 10-8 record.

These two teams normally take their time when they are playing against each other. It becomes more of a battle of objectives than actual fighting, making the mid and late game the decisive factor of the match. Both games that Evil Geniuses have won have been very close, up until the end that Evil Geniuses seemed to prove they are the ones in control. The one game that 100 Thieves won, they showed some decent upside and complete control.

I think these two teams are fairly similar, so anything goes. Expect me to actually have both sides of this game, but ultimately will side with 100T here, who should grab less ownership (Always hedge with close games, this is a best of one so anything goes). If 100T starts on the blue side, they have a much better chance of actually winning as their win rate dictates so, just like EG also favors the blue side.

LOL LCS Pick to win: 100Thieves

LOL LCS SLATE REVIEW:

The key to this slate is to try to get as much C9 as possible within your lineups. That should be the game with the most upside and should be filled with a lot of team fights. If you are into hedging both games in a two-game slate I would not give less than a 75% exposure to C9 as I think they will win in pretty good fashion and once again start their season in a dominant way. The second game, I would split 50/50, as I think its too close to call even though I do like 100Thieves to win in what could be a very low kill game.

You can always find me in the Win Daily Sports discord or on twitter @champagnravens and ask me any question about the slate, and I will 100% be there to help out. Thanks for reading Naldo’s 6/12 targets.
