LoL Slate Overview NA Academy Breakdown 06/11
LoL Game 1: Cloud9 (-300) vs 100 Thieves Academy (+210)
Cloud9 is the clear-cut favorite here, and rightfullyso. They finished first in the LoL NA Academy last split with a 14-4 record andcruised their way to the championship by dominating teams in all facets of thegame and make for great LoL DFS options with their 17 kills per game. In theirmost recent match in Week 8 of the LoL NA Academy Spring split, C9 took down100 Thieves in just 29 minutes by a kill count of 26-10. They’ll be chalky, sofeel free to get different in large field tournaments, but they’re arguably thebest target on the slate.
Pick: C9 (-300)
Starters: Fudge, Inori, PALAFOX, TOMO, Diamond
LoL Game 2: FlyQuest Academy (-115 PK) vs ImmortalsAcademy (-115 PK)
In a game where Vegsa has the line as a pick ‘em,FlyQuest is the target for me. With both opponents missing the LoL NA AcademySpring split playoffs last season with identical 7-11 records, I’ll takeFlyQuest who went 2-0 versus Immortals Academy just a few months ago. In theirmost recent match, coming in Week 8 of the spring split, FlyQuest was all overImmortals, beating them in 30 minutes and winning the kill count 18-3. Theirother win came in Week 1 where it was much less entertaining; FlyQuest lead 9-5in kills but won in 30 minnutes, nonetheless. With everyone basing their LoLDFS lineups on Vegas odds should they not be researching as much, FlyQuestmakes for an intriguing low owned stack.
Pick: FlyQuest Academy (-115 PK)
Starters: Revenge, Fanatiik, Triple, MASH, Big
LoL Game 3: Team SoloMid Academy (-180) vs Team LiquidAcademy (+130)
The third game has one of my preferred pivots off achalky Cloud 9, Team SoloMid. TSM finished the spring split with a 10-8 record,but after a quarterfinal win versus 100 Thieves, they saw Cloud9 in thesemi-finals and didn’t stand a chance. TSM beat TL in both matches last split tocome out with a perfect 2-0 record versus their opponent today; the first gamewas more objective based, with the kill count being 15-8 in favor of TSM butthe game was 43 minutes long. The second matchup was much more appealing interms of LoL DFS output with TSM winning the kill count 21-6 and taking care ofbusiness in only 30 minutes; TSM makes for a great stack today.
Pick: Team SoloMid Academy (-180)
Starters: Dhokla, Winston, EVOLVED, LOST, Treatz
LoL Game 4: Counter Logic Gaming Academy (+195) vsEvil Geniuses Academy (-280)
The fourth game of the LoL NA Academy slate presentsanother heavy favorite in EG who takes on the basement dwellers in CounterLogic. CLG finished dead last in the spring split with an abysmal 4-14 recordand looked lost out there, while EG finished third with an 11-7 record and afinals berth versus Cloud9. Lock EG in this game and don’t think twice.
Pick: Evil Geniuses Academy (-280)
Starters: **TOP is not listed (DNP)**, AnDa, Giyuu,Deftly, Matt
LoL Game 5: Golden Guardians Academy (+145) vs TeamDignitas Academy (-200)
Having finished 2nd in the LoL NA Academy Spring split standings, Team Dignitas looks to be another good target for us on this slate, along with Cloud9 and EG. Both games were low scoring affairs, with each respective club taking a game apiece. In DIG’s win, they only had 11 kills in a 43-minute win – talk about a snooze fest. While they do make for a good target against GG, they get a slight bump down my list because of the low LoL DFS output. If targeting anyone here, Akaadian is the man, who looked good in their pro club last split.
Pick: Team Dignitas Academy (-200)
Starters: Lourlo, Akaadian, Fenix, Asta, **SUP notlisted (DNP)**
