6/15 ESPORTS DFS: League of Legends LPL Breakdown Featuring Jim Thomson

Mark Eakins 5 years ago

written by Mark Eakins

We are going to start by breaking down the two matchups of the new LPL split scheduled to go off at 5 am and 7 am Eastern standard time on Monday The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is two best of three-game series LPL (Chinese League) matches.

The first match is ESTAR (ES) (-190) VS. BILIBILI (BLG) (+205).The second match is TEAM WE (WE) (-175) VS. VICI GAMING (VG) (+125). I am going to break down each game the way I feel it will play out. I will post my betting picks and favorite team immediately following the breakdown.

At the later stage of my article, I will have a list of my favorite captain’s/stars in order of preference. This article is for both Draftkings and FanDuel.

MATCH ONE: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

MATCH ONE: ESTAR (ES) (-190) VS. BILIBILI (BLG) (+205).

The first match of the night for our LPL DFS slate is a former 2020 LPL spring split powerhouse vs. a 2020 spring split aggressive losing team.

Last split BLG gave every team a run for their money and made them work for every win that they received. So far, we witnessed just two games from BLG, and it made me never want to watch them play again. YES, it was that bad. They were absolutely obliterated and took to school by FunPlus Phoenix (FPX).

Of course, I know it’s FPX, the former world champions, but FPX did not start off too hot and ill be honest, prior to that match, I thought BLG could possibly win. They also took a loss to VG, who, in my opinion, are mediocre at best. Until I see them give me a reason not to go against them, I am going to go heavy on every team playing them.

Here’s where the massive problem lies. The problems name is ESTAR. They came out of the gate in the 2020 LPL spring split, looking unstoppable, even beating IG when they were undefeated. Throughout the season, they started to have internal differences and communication problems. One of those big problems was the elite mid laner (Cryin), who is now on RNG.

ESTAR looks sound. They look like a well balanced, kill-happy, and hyper-aggressive team. One slip up, and they are going to ace (kill all five opposing players) your entire team.

BLG makes ALOT of mistakes. When they make those mistakes, ES is going to make them regret it immediately. I do see ES taking this series pretty easily. Maybe BLG squeezes one game but definitely does not take two.

I am not always right (I’m right a lot more than I’m wrong lol). Just in case BLG catches lightning in a bottle twice, I will have 20% of BLG stacks one lineup paired with WE and one lineup paired with VG. Nothing more or nothing less.

MY LPL DFS PICK: ESTAR (ES) (-190).

MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.

MATCH TWO: TEAM WE (WE) (-175) VS. VICI GAMING (VG) (+125).

Here’s the MATCH OF THE DAY for our LPL DFS lineups. WE gaming has two wins and one loss in the new LPL summer split. They started off with things hot, sweeping EDG (a decent team) with ease. WE came back and made a few mistakes against Suning (SN) and slipped a match, losing in a full three-game series one to two. I believe that could have easily gone in WE’s favor.

Then they showed us that they are not a team to mess with when they made IG (former powerhouse) look like they were an academy team, sweeping them with ease .

Vici Gaming is far from an elite team, but should definitely not be overlooked. They can continuously farm the map, and low-key build their champions to an elite level. Once they do that, they can surprise their opponent with strong abilities.

I know that WE tended to feed opponents kills, but I do not think that VG will be very aggressive and get those kills. Believe me, when I say, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE but, WE should takeover this match and come out with a win here.

I will have a 70/30 split of these two teams. My stacks will include both three and four-man stacks 70% of WE and 30% of VG.

MY LPL DFS PICK: TEAM WE (WE) (-175).

FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:

Jiumeng (ADC) (WE)

Wink (ADC) (ES)

Teacherma (MID) (WE)

FenFen (MID) (ES)

beishang (JNG) (WE)

Wei (JNG) (ES)

iBoy (ADC) (VG)

SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. My exposure in my LOL LPL DFS lineups will consist of 80% ES, 70% WE, 30% VG, and 20% BLG. All of my stacks will be four/three. I will prioritize using ADC and MID in my captain spot. Any lineup that I can not use ADC or MID because of salary requirements, I will be using JNG. If by chance, JNG does not fit and ONLY if I can not fit the three prior positions, I will use a TOP or SUP in my captain spot.

League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/14 LOL LCS Breakdown

League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/14 LOL LCS Breakdown

Today we will be looking into the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/14/2020 @ 4:00 pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets 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.

LOL LCS Teams to Target

Cloud 9 (C9) (-500) (All Formats- Cash/GPP):

Cloud 9 is and should be part of your lineups no doubt about it. Not only do they do the talk, but they walk the walk. They are the top team of the LCS no doubt about it and are going up against 100Thieves which are average at best. There is no competition here whatsoever.

I am expecting Cloud 9 to engage early and finish this within the 27 minutes mark. This is a team that you can fully stack confidently in your cash given their high ownership tomorrow in all cash lineups. Lock them in, and continue to look for a stack to pair. LCS is a roller coaster for sure, if you are feeling crazy then have a 100T lineup as a hedge. I don’t see a chance of them winning, but then again I did not see G2 Esports losing the last game and they did.

LOL LCS Starting Lineup: (TOP) Licorice (JNG) Blaber (MID) Nisqy (ADC) Zven (SUP) Vulcan

LOL LCS Favorite Captains:

(TOP) Licorice ($6,600) (Cheap option)
(JNG) Blaber ($7,600) (Optimal option)
(MID) Nisqy ($8000) (Optimal option)
(ADC) Zven ($8,400) (Optimal option)
(SUP) Vulcan ($5,800) (Cheap option)

LOL LCS Pick to win: Cloud9.

Team Liquid (TL) (-260) (GPP/CASH):

Team Liquid is good, and they proved it by defeating TSM in a very confident fashion. TSM looked washed up and I am curious to see how they end up in this split. I like Team Liquid here in what could be a game closer than we think. Golden Guardians beat Team Dignitas last time out looking very solid. The difference is that Dignitas actually kept the game close. Which made me believe TL can keep the game a bit cleaner while controlling the game.

I will side with Team Liquid but be sure to have both sides of this game. Even if it is a smaller exposure to Golden Guardians. These two teams should be involved in one of the juiciest matchups of the day.

LOL LCS Starting Lineup: (TOP) Impact (JNG) Broxah (MID) Jensen (ADC) Tactical (SUP) CoreJj

LOL LCS Favorite Captains:

(JNG) Broxah ($7,000) (Optimal option)
(MID) Jensen ($7,400) (Optimal option)
(ADC) Tactical ($7,400) (Top Optimal option)

LOL LCS Pick to win: Team Liquid.

Notes: Very even matchup, liking Team Liquid here but will have some exposure to Golden Guardians for sure.

Team Dignitas (DIG) (+180) (GPP):

Gut call here. I believe Team Dignitas is pretty good and eventually, it will show. They had a very tough matchup against Golden Guardians who looked in top form on their first game. Dignitas was able to stay close all game, though some mistakes allowed for GG to snowball their power eventually making it hard for them to get anything going in the late game. On the other side, TSM looked horrible, and I personally think the line should be much closer than this. TL made what everyone thought would be a good team look like a bottom feeder in LoL.

Maybe it was a really bad start by TSM, but maybe they are just not functional at the moment and will take them some time to adjust. I am taking a shot at the underdog here, hoping it pays off.

LOL LCS Starting Lineup: (TOP) V1Per (JNG) Akaadian (MID) Froggen (ADC) Johnsun (SUP) Aphromoo

LOL LCS Favorite Captains:

(MID) Froggen ($6,600) (Top Optimal option)
(ADC) Johnsun ($6,600) (Top Optimal option)

LOL LCS Pick to win: Dignitas

LOL LCS teams to consider in large-field tournaments:

Immortals
Golden Guardians

6/14 ESPORTS DFS: League of Legends LPL Breakdown Featuring Jim Thomson

Richard Masana 5 years ago

written by Richard Masana

We are going to start by breaking down the two matchups of the new LPL split scheduled to go off at 5 am and 7 am Eastern standard time on Sunday. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is two best of three-game series LPL (Chinese League) matches.

The first match is INVICTUS GAMING (IG) (-150) VS. SUNING GAMING (SN) (+110). The second match is JD GAMING (JDG) (+115) VS. TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-155). I am going to break down each game the way I feel it will play out. I will post my betting picks and favorite team immediately following the breakdown.

At the later stage of my article, I will have a list of my favorite captain’s/stars in order of preference. This article is for both Draftkings and FanDuel.

MATCH ONE: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

MATCH ONE: INVICTUS GAMING (IG) (-150) VS. SUNING GAMING (SN) (+110).

The first LPL DFS match of the night is one that definitely can be a little tricky if you haven’t been watching the new LPL summer split closely. IG was the powerhouse pretty much halfway through the spring 2020 LPL split. After a few additions were made to multiple different teams to make those teams stronger, IG began to start taking losses.

This summer split lies a new contender, and im not talking about IG. I am talking about Suning. SN has quietly made a statement in their previous two games. In the first game, they strategically beat a team that was a powerhouse last year (ES). The second game was against the 2020 LPL spring split champions (JDG), and they might have lost two to nothing, but they looked like they could easily compete with the best of them. I think SN puts their foot down here and stops IG at the door.

MY PICK: SUNING (SN) (+110).

MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.

JD GAMING (JDG) (+115) VS. TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-155).

LPL公开训练赛战报| JDG vs TES 第三局| 290220 - 2340好看视频

The second match of the night is two of the biggest powerhouses in the LPL. We have JDG and TES facing off once again. JDG had a late-season push in the spring split to push them all the way into the finals. The best part about that is, so did TES. Both teams faced off in a best of five championship series where JDG wiped the floor with them.

It wasn’t long before TES had their revenge. In the seasons midseason cup (MSC), JDG found themselves once again matched up against TES. This time TES did the same thing that JDG did to them in the spring split finals and became the midseason cup champions. They are back at it again and ready to go as hard at each other as they possibly can. This match is a true coinflip. I will have an even 50/50 split of both JDG and TES in my LOL DFS lineups.

FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:

Loken (ADC) (JDG)

Knight (MID) (TES)

JackeyLove (ADC) (TES)

Huanfeng (ADC) (SN)

Yagao (MID) (JDG)

Puff (ADC) (IG)

SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. I will have 60% of SN and 40% IG. My builds will consist of a 50/50 split of both TES and JDG.

League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/13 LOL LCS Breakdown

League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/13 LOL LCS Breakdown

Today we will be looking into the LOL LCS 2020 Summer Split on 6/13/2020 @ 4:00 pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets for the day, correlation plays, as well as projected lineups for my top targes 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.

LoL LCS Tournament Format:

10 teams participate
Double Round Robin
Matches are best of one
Top eight teams qualify for playoffs

LOL LCS Slate Breakdown:

Evil Geniuses (EG) (-300) vs Counter Logic Gaming (CLG)(+210).

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

Evil Geniuses (EG)(-300):

(TOP) Kumo
(JNG) Svenskeren
(MID) JIIZUKE
(ADC) BANG
(SUP) Zeyzal

Counter Logic Gaming (CLG)(+210):

(TOP) Ruin
(JNG) Wiggily
(MID) POBELTER
(ADC) STIXXAY
(SUP) Smoothie

Evil Geniuses, a very solid team overall. EG will be going against one of the LOL worst in the LCS bracket. Counter Logic Gaming finished a 3-15 overall record in the LCS standings setting their place as the worst team in the league. There is no sign of them making any change so I just don’t see Evil Geniuses losing this game. CLG possesses an overall K/D ratio of .69, the lowest of all teams in about 18 total games. Paired with that, they also have the highest deaths per game at 14.3 deaths, about 2-3 more deaths than the next max up. Evil Geniuses will be a staple to my cash games, as well as my GPP lines as I could see them destroying CLG. Very much in comparison to the game against 100Thieves.

LOL LCS Pick to win: Evil Geniuses

FlyQuest (FLY)(-220) vs Immortals (IMT)(+160).

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

FlyQuest (FLY)(-220):

(TOP) Solo
(JNG) SANTORIN
(MID) POWEROFEVIL
(ADC) WILDTURTLE
(SUP) IgNar

Immortals (IMT)(+160):

(TOP) sOAZ
(JNG) PotLuck
(MID) EIKA
(ADC) APOLLO
(SUP) Gate

FlyQuest is a very underrated team in my opinion who is actually very good. Obviously not to be compared to the LCS juggernaut in C9. FlyQuest can hang with the best teams in this league. Because of that, I like them against Immortals who are an average team at best. They have also made some questionable changes to their lineups sending Xmithie, who everyone thought was their golden child to the academy. Horrible move in my opinion. But I’m suspecting that the move was to actually move into a more aggressive playstyle with their current new roster. Gate also made his way from the academy roster, and overall I don’t like the moves. And personally think there is more of an internal issue.

With that said I will side with FlyQuest, who actually climbed his way to the finals last spring slate against all odds but ultimately being finished off by C9. This win will for sure be led by the bottom lane.

LoL LCS Pick to win: FlyQuest

Team SoloMid(TSM)(-110) vs Team Liquid (TL)(-125).

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

Team SoloMid (TSM)(-110):

(TOP) BROKEN BLADE
(JNG) Spica
(MID) BJERGSEN
(ADC) DOUBLELIFT
(SUP) Biofrost

Team Liquid (TL)(-125):

(TOP) Impact
(JNG) Broxah
(MID) JENSEN
(ADC) TACTICAL
(SUP) CoreJJ

In a game which I believe is pretty even, I will go to the fact that the team pretty much built on top of what made this team successful before by bringing in Doublelift again along with Bjergsen. The entire team in my opinion looks very solid and is well experienced and should do well throughout the regular season. Besides Spica, that actually came in from the academy roster and contributed greatly to the team. This entire team is very much experienced and has worked together before.

Nothing to take away from Team Liquid that’s for sure. But they did end with a regular spring season split of 7-11. Giving them the second to last spot only ahead of Counter Logic Gaming for the season. Very much still the same team overall, and while they have a case of having good synergy as a team. I just do not think they can pull the game here in what could be a close game. Being as it is a close game anything can happen, but my pick here will be TSM for the win.

LoL LCS Pick to win: Team SoloMid

LoL LCS Slate Review:

This is day two of the LCS and some teams showed they are still on top form, while others showed the opposite. These are the three teams I will be making my lineups around. If I did not list a game it is for the sole reason that I think the game is tough to predict or the matchup does not set up for a high upside game between the two teams. With that said each and every team picked does have a high kill total for the slate, and should be in a good position to win their games if everything goes accordingly. So far, TSM allows me to build comfortably with pretty much any team.

There is a risk with having TSM as the game should be very close, but I’m taking a shot here with them hoping it pays off. This will allow me to go double ADC with FlyQuest/TSM stack, yes with a team the same as captain but it still allows you to build a very strong 3-3 stack.

If you want to build EG/FlyQuest there is no doubt that you will have to pay down at captain with a weaker position and that is alright too if you are going more into cash game territory.

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 6/13 targets.

League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/13 LOL LEC Breakdown

League of Legends: Naldo’s 6/13 LOL LEC Breakdown

Today we will be looking into the LOL LEC 2020 Summer Split on 6/13/2020 @ 11:00 am EST. Below I will provide my top targets for the day, correlation plays, as well as projected lineups for my top targes 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.

LoL LEC Tournament Format:

10 teams participate
Double Round Robin
Matches are best of one
Top six teams qualify for playoffs

LOL LEC Slate Breakdown:

G2 Esports (G2) (-235) vs Origen (OG)(+175).

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

G2 Esports (G2)(-235):

(TOP) WUNDER
(JNG) JANKOS
(MID) CAPS
(ADC) PERKZ
(SUP) MIKYX

Origen (OG)(+175):

(TOP) Alphari
(JNG) Xerxe
(MID) NUKEDUCK
(ADC) UPSET
(SUP) Destiny

Yesterday was certainly a treat, with some teams that were expected to be rather dysfunctional actually coming out on top over some top teams, and yes I am looking at you Origen. They gave us one of their most disappointing losses up to date in the hands of SK who actually looked really solid even behind some questionable champion decisions. Regardless they beat one of the teams considered to be in top three in the standings. After that loss, I just don’t see Origen come out on top against the arguably best team of the LEC, and even the world.

This should be a bloodbath, and I believe Origen will be doing the bleeding. Overall, Origen is still a very decent team, maybe they just dropped the ball, or maybe SK really improved that much in a short amount of time. Origen will be looking for a comeback win, but I think this is a win that will be almost impossible to get.

LOL LEC Pick to win: G2

Fnatic (FNC)(-425) vs Team Vitality (VIT)(+280).

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

Fnatic (FNC)(-425):

(TOP) BWIPO
(JNG) Selfmade
(MID) NEMESIS
(ADC) REKKLES
(SUP) Hylissang

Team Vitality (VIT)(+280):

(TOP) Cabochard
(JNG) Nji
(MID) MILICA
(ADC) COMP
(SUP) Jactroll

A very straight forward matchup here. I am expecting Fnatics to deliver easily against a bottom of the barrel team in Team Vitality who actually won their first game of the split. The difference here is that they played another bottom of the barrel team, and now they will be going up against a top-three team in Fnatic. Fnatics also won their first game of the split against Misfits but it did not come easy after trailing through most of the game they ditched their whole strategy and actually played to pick out their opponents one by one until they managed a lead and ultimately finishing the game.

This is the type of team Fnatic is and the caliber they bring to the table. Team Vitality still has a lot to go before they can beat a team like Fnatic, let alone be a top team in the standings. Look for them to control, and attack at will at what will seem an easy win.

LoL LEC Pick to win: Fnatic

MAD Lions (MAD)(-265) vs Excel Esports (XL)(+185).

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

MAD Lions (MAD)(-265):

(TOP) Orome
(JNG) SHADOW
(MID) HUMANOID
(ADC) CARZZY
(SUP) Kaiser

Excel Esports (XL)(+185):

(TOP) Kryze
(JNG) Caedrel
(MID) Swiffer
(ADC) PATRIK
(SUP) Tore

Probably my favorite pick tonight after G2 Esports. MAD Lions are a young team full of talent in the LOL and I have them being a top team sooner than later in the LEC. They are not quite at the level of G2 as we could see on opening day where they took a beating by them, but have shown flashes in the last split and even took a series from G2 with a major upset.

Today they will be going up against Excel Esports who lost to Rogue which was not a surprise to me, at least. They looked horrible and got completely manhandled in the lanes. Being completely out farmed by Rogue, and when the team fights happened they were forced to withdraw after getting picked. MAD Lions dropped their first game of the LOL summer split but it was no other than the juggernaut of G2. So nothing to really take away aside from the fact they actually had no chance. I am expecting a huge game from MAD Lions here, and take their frustrations out on Excel. Averaging a high 16.9 kills per game I am expecting them to capitalize on the weak matchups and get ahead early.

LoL LEC Pick to win: MAD Lions

Honorable Mentions:

Misfits Gaming(MSF)(-120):

It is safe to say Misfits Gaming is night and day compared to the last split of LoL. Misfits took a loss to FNC but forced their hand plenty of times throughout the game. They looked very solid with Kobbe in their lineup and I believe this is the start of a decent early push and show what they have.

They go up against a team that finished third in the spring split and just handed a loss to excel esports. I think Misfits are very aggressive and will force the team fights which in my opinion they should win. Objective control was not a problem either, I am expecting for Misfits to play at their pace. If Rogue sets the pace I believe Misfits will have a hard time. But they showed just enough for me to believe in them against a team that often tends to be inconsistent in LoL.

LoL LEC Slate Review:

Above we have my three favorites stacks to build around. I am looking to have as many players from either of those teams that salary allows me to have. Meaning my builds will most likely be 4-2, and if it allows me to have an expensive position at captain I will go to 3-3 builds which are very much effective as well. Misfits should allow you to fit many decent stacks with either of those three teams, including double ADC, double MID, and so on as your strongest stacks.

Any stacks of the top three teams will most likely require to lower down to using TOP/JNG and even SUP at captain which I actually do not think its a bad idea as long as you get the most upside from both teams. This is a very good slate for cash games, and GPP games if you pick the right under-owned teams that are playing i.e SK/Misfits who are my favorites to win and cheap stacks.

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.

Mark Eakins 5 years ago

written by Mark Eakins

We are going to start by breaking down the two matchups of the new LPL split scheduled to go off at 5 am and 7 am Eastern standard time on Saturday, June 13th. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is two best of three-game series LPL (Chinese League) matches.

The first match is VICTORY FIVE (V5) VS. LGD GAMING (LGD) -240). The second match is OH MY GOD (OMG) (+220) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG) (-315). I am going to break down each game the way I feel it will play out. I will post my betting picks and favorite team immediately following the breakdown.

At the later stage of my article, I will have a list of my favorite captain’s/stars in order of preference. This article is for both Draftkings and FanDuel.

MATCH ONE: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

MATCH ONE: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-240) VS. VICTORY FIVE (V5) (+170).

YOU ASK, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! Looking at the first game of this LPL DFS slate, my first thought was to immediately hit the submit all-in button on Victory Five (V5). Instead of making a decision based on emotion, I chose to sit back, take a deep breath, do some more research, and think logically.
After looking more into this game (V5 vs. LGD), I quickly started to change my tune. Even though V5 has looked like they are a top team in their previous two games, the truth is, they haven’t played anyone good.

They have played OMG and DMO. Both of those teams are profoundly lacking skilled players and tend to make a lot of mistakes other teams won’t.
Looking into LGD a little more, going back to the last split, I noticed that this team (LGD) is actually pretty good. They have given some top teams a tough time in the past.

I am by no means saying that V5 is a top tier team but, what I am saying is that they have looked a lot better this split than the last. That does not change my mind, though.

The thing that made me change my mind to go from V5 to LGD was the fact that LGD beat one of the better teams in the league (ES). LGD looked like a team that knew what they were doing, and I think it continues here. V5 should NOT get swept. In fact, they should win one of the games in the best of three series, but I do believe that they lose two of them in a two to one series loss.

I will have LGD in 60% of my LOL LPL DFS lineups and 40% (just in case)(hedge lines) of Victory 5. All of my stacks will either be a four-man stack or a three-man stack.

MY LOL DFS PICK: LGD GAMING (LGD) (-240)

MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.

OH MY GOD (OMG) (+220) VS. EDWARD GAMING (EDG) (-315).

In the next match of the LOL LPL is, in my opinion, a no brainer. OMG has been obliterated in both of their first two matches this split so far. They looked horrible. I do not think EDG lights up the scoreboard by any means but, I do think they win convincingly. DO NOT FORGET, that it is the beginning of the new season and anything can happen. THE END.

FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:

Kramer (MID) (LGD)

Hope (ADC) (EDG)

Scout(MID) (EDG)

SamD (ADC) (V5)

Xiye (MID) (LGD)

Mole (MID) (V5)

SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. I do not believe in putting all of my eggs into one basket so, I will have TWO lineups ONLY of OMG, and both are going to be three-man stacks. One lineup stacked with LGD and the other with V5. I will have 80% of EDG. All of my EDG lines will either be a three or four-man stack paired with either V5 or LGD. All of my stacks of LGD (60%) and V5 (40%) will either be a four-man stack or a three-man stack. ADC and MID are always my priorities as captains. If need be, use JNG as captain to force certain stacks of the favorites in.

6/12 ESPORTS DFS: League of Legends LPL Breakdown Featuring Jim Thomson

written by DFSGhost

We are going to start by breaking down the two matchups of the new LPL split scheduled to go off at 5 am and 7 am Eastern standard time on Tuesday, June 12th. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is two best of three-game series LPL (Chinese League) matches.

The first match is Royal Never Give Up (RNG) (-500) Vs. LNG Esports (LNG) (+325). The second match is FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) (-550) Vs. Bilibili Gaming (BLG) (+335). I am going to break down each game the way I feel it will play out. I will post my betting picks and favorite team immediately following the breakdown.

At the later stage of my article, I will have a list of my favorite captain’s/stars in order of preference. This article is for both Draftkings and FanDuel.

MATCH ONE: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

Royal Never Give Up (RNG) (-500) Vs. LNG Esports (LNG) (+325).

After watching the previous performance of RNG, I concluded that even though they beat up OMG pretty well, they made plenty of mistakes. If RNG makes those mistakes against any other team, they will get exploited. I do feel that everyone thinks that RNG has an easy ride here versus previously one of the worse teams in the LPL. The keyword there is PREVIOUSLY. I believe that LNG is going to give them a run for their money.

Both Maple and Light looked amazing in LNG’s recent win, which was against a -4000 favorite in FunPlus Phoenix (FPX). FPX was one of the top teams in the previous split, and I believe they could still perform well if the mistakes they made don’t get exploited again like LNG did to them. I’m going to have exposure to both teams (60/40 split). My lean and yes, it sounds crazy, but it is on LNG to exploit the weaknesses of RNG in a very close bloody best of three series.

MY LOL DFS PICK: LNG ESPORTS (+325).

MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.

FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) (-550) Vs. Bilibili Gaming (BLG) (+335).

We all witness the astonishing defeat that FPX just took at the hands of LNG, but what if I told you I think it can happen again in back to back games? FPX did not play terribly. They actually played pretty well last game. Unfortunately for them, LNG had their number and perfectly exploited their weaknesses; to be honest entirely outperformed them.

DON’T FORGET that we are on a brand new season in the LPL, and EVERY TEAM has a fresh start. Even though FPX could definitely be a top team, they are facing off against a team (Bilibili Gaming) that is notorious for giving every team they play, everything they can handle, and continuously forcing almost every best of three series to the third and close game. I personally think that BLG continues to do that here and can potentially send another big upset over to FPX. I will have a 60/40 split in my LPL DFS lineups in favor of BLG.

FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:

Maple (MID) (LNG)

Light (ADC) (LNG)

Fofo (MID) (BLG)

Betty (ADC) (RNG)

Wings (ADC) (BLG)

LWX (ADC) (FPX)

SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. I will have 60% of my lineups with a three or four-man stack of LNG. My lineup builds will have a 60/40 split on my four or three-man stacks of both BLG (60%) and FPX (40%).

Tonight I will be using different combinations of player captains, focusing on the best overall build. ADC and MID are always my priorities. My lineups will have a share of 40% of three or four-man stacks of RNG (HEDGE PURPOSES ONLY). Let me say this again, I AM PLAYING GPP ONLY. I am taking a very big risk on two big underdogs but, just in case, i have 40% of both of the heavy favorites in my lineups.

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

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

LEC Naldo’s 6/12 Targets:

Today we will be looking into the first slate of the split for the LEC 2020 Summer Split on 6/12/2020 @ 12pm EST. Below I will provide my top targets 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.

Slate Breakdown:

G2 Esports (G2) (-280) vs Mad Lions (MAD)(+195).

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

G2 Esports (G2)(-280):
(TOP) Wunder
(JNG) JANKOS
(MID) CAPS
(ADC) PERKZ
(SUP) Mikyx

MAD Lions (MAD)(-180):
(TOP) Orome
(JNG) Shadow
(MID) HUMANOID
(ADC) CARZZY
(SUP) Kaiser

It is to no surprise that I will be siding with G2 Esports in this match. They are the more experienced team overall. Split in, and split out they are finals champions. And have a couple of championships under their belt to show for their skills, including a World Championship. Last spring playoffs these two teams went head to head twice. Once in the first round of the playoffs in which MAD Lions pulled a huge upset and beat G2. G2 had to crawl themselves out of the losers bracket to match them again in the semi-finals where G2 finally took the Mad Lions down after themselves falling into the losers bracket after falling to FNC. It is no surprise that this game will be the most entertaining to watch out of the entire slate. But G2 in my opinion is just too good. MAD Lions have a bright future ahead of them with the likes of Carzzy, and Humanoid, but they are young and inexperienced as a team. As to where G2 is a well-rounded team with possibly the best trio of players in the world with Perkz, Capz, and Jankos. Expect both of these teams to do really well throughout the summer split. MAD Lions definitely make for an intriguing play in large-field tournaments so I will have both sides of this game. I understand that while G2 is in my opinion the best team in the world at the moment, I also understand that their play is at times questionable, even if it is for just a game.

LOL Pick to win: G2 Esports

Origen (OG)(-700) vs SK Gaming (SK)(+425).

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

Origen(OG)(-700):
(TOP) Alphari
(JNG) Xerse
(MID) NUKEDUCK
(ADC) UPSET
(SUP) Destiny

SK Gaming (SK)(+425):
(TOP) Jenaz
(JNG) Trick
(MID) Zazee
(ADC) TRICKSHOT
(SUP) Limit

This is another match I feel the need to exploit. On one side we have Origen who ended up in third in the Spring Split right behind team Fanatic, but coming up in fourth place in the playoffs. Overall Origen is a very solid team to target against the worst teams in the LOL LEC in SK Gaming. SK Gaming wasn’t even close to making playoffs as they finished the Spring Split with a record of 4-14, solidifying them as the second to last spot in the league. The line says it all here, we got a Top 3 team facing off against the bottom of the barrel team. SK Gaming is a team that has little to no synergy when playing together, as opposed to their counterpart who is a team that thrives in team fighting.

LOL Pick to win: Origen

Fnatic (FNC)(-240) vs Misfits Gaming (MSF)(+170).

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

Fnatic (FNC)(-240):
(TOP) Bwipo
(JNG) Selfmade
(MID) NEMESIS
(ADC) REKKLES
(SUP) Hylisang

Misfits Gaming (MSF)(+170):
(TOP) Dan Dan
(JNG) Razork
(MID) FEBIVEN
(ADC) KOBBE
(SUP) denyk

This matchup is a little bit closer, it might not seem like it is because Fnatic is still the runner up in last spring split as well as the playoffs coming in second behind G2. While Misfits came in the top 5 in the regular split but got instantly deleted out of the playoffs in the first match of the losers bracket by Rogue. They got a few new players, but I just don’t see Misfit winning here. They did lose a pretty decent ADC in Bvoy, which they eventually replaced by signing Kobbe to their team. Overall the team consists of two rookies (Dan Dan/Razork) and other average players. I am giving this match to FNC, who is a well rounded and one of the two champion caliber teams of this slate. Do not be surprised if Misfits actually is able to keep it interesting.

LOL Pick to win: Fnatic (FNC)

Cheap Stacks:

FC Schalke 04 – Should win, going up against Springs Split worst team. This should serve as a decent low owned stack to use paired with one of the 3 top teams of the slate. Schalke isn’t the best of teams either as they ended up with a record of 6-12. But the line likes them and I do believe they are the better of the worst team in this slate.

Rogue – Another team that should not have a lot of ownership, and should win without a problem. Going up against a team in the bottom third of the standings, Rogue, a playoff contender should be able to win in what could be one of the sneaky bloody games.

LOL SLATE REVIEW Naldo’s 6/12 Targets:

These 3 teams will be the core of my lineups, I’m sticking to them and building around those 3 for most of my lineups. They are slightly priced up but for good reason. I suggest mixing these 3 teams with the slightly less owned teams, such as FC Schalke 04, and even Rogue. This looks like a slate where all the favorites should win, so I would stick to them when building your lineups. As always, build around ADC captain, if you can’t because of salary then go MID. Jungler/TOP ONLY if you are stacking two of the top 3 teams on the board since it will be needed to get a full 2 stack going with the prices given.

You can always find me in discord at 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.

6/9 ESPORTS DFS: League of Legends LPL Breakdown Featuring Jim Thomson

Mark Eakins 5 years ago

written by Mark Eakins

We are going to start by breaking down the two matchups of the new LPL split scheduled to go off at 5 am and 7 am Eastern standard time on Tuesday, June 9th. The DraftKings and FanDuel slates lock at 5 am SHARP. The slate is two best of three-game series LPL (Chinese League) matches.

The first match is FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) vs. LNG GAMING (LNG). The second match is ROGUE WARRIORS (RW) VS. TOP ESPORTS (TES). I am going to break down each game the way I feel it will play out. I will post my betting picks and favorite team immediately following the breakdown.

At the later stage of my article, I will have a list of my favorite captain’s/stars in order of preference. This article is for both Draftkings and FanDuel.

MATCH ONE: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-4000) VS. LNG ESPORTS (LNG) (+900).

Let’s call it how it is, LNG is terrible, finishing the previous spring split with an atrocious five wins and eleven loss record. LNG has been the stomping ground for many LPL teams everywhere, from the top tier teams to the lower tier teams. They have not been able to put together a consistent, winning team.

The 16th place LPL team from the spring split (out of 17 teams) has made no changes to their starting roster. They rolled out an identical roster of chenlun17, Xx, Maple, Light, Duan in their first match of the new split, and we’re embarrassed by the mistake-happy Suning squad.

In their second match of the new split, they are matched up against one of the best teams in the LPL (FunPlus Phoenix). FunPlus Phoenix finished the LPL spring split in third place with an impressive twelve win, four loss regular-season record. Their playoff road to the finals was tragically halted by what seemed to be an unbeatable force in JDG gaming (LPL spring split champions).

After being swept three to zip in a best of five series to JDG, they quickly bounced back and did the same exact thing to Invictus Gaming (IG), who in the beginning/middle regular season everyone thought was a shoo-in for the championship trophy.

FPX is one of the most dominant forces in the LPL. In my opinion, LNG does not stand a chance in this matchup. I will have 80% of my LOL DFS lineups with either a four-man or three-man stack of FPX.

LNG is going to come out of this matchup feeling as if four thousand bricks hit them. I never go entirely all-in on any team though, I will have two LNG stacks (hedge purposes only), just in case a needle IS found in a haystack, but I doubt it.

MY LOL DFS PICK: FUNPLUS PHOENIX (FPX) (-4000). Note, I will not be betting these ridiculous odds.

MATCH TWO: SUMMER SPLIT.

ROGUE WARRIORS (RW) (+355) VS. TOP ESPORTS (TES) (-550).

This match is a little bit closer than the first but still has a big-money line between Rogue Warriors (RW) as a +355 underdog and the runner up of the LPL spring season split, Top Esports (TES) as a -550 favorite.

RW finished the previous split with just under a 500 record, with seven wins and nine losses. They are far from the best team in the LPL, but are known to give some of the top tier teams a little bit of push back, but mostly just stealing one game of a best of three series.

With a starting roster looking almost identical to the previous split, only adding a new Jungler (JNG) in Youdang, I don’t see them making much of a run for the top to start things off. Youdang was previously on Edward Gaming’s youth team after being released from Vici Gaming in 2019.

For RW to make a significant impact, they will have to do more than just one addition to their sub 500 team.

This is where things get interesting. Top Esports was a high kill producing team as soon as they made the addition of an All-Star ADC in JackeyLove last split.

Unfortunately for TES, due to a few health issues, JackeyLove will be missing in action in their first series of the new LPL split. Other than the phenomenal play from the high producing ADC of JackeyLove, the only thing TES had on their roster (in my opinion) that makes opponents shake in their boots is the auto-killing Mid-Laner of Knight.

While one player can undoubtedly make the team better, it is a TEAM sport, and you need other players to step up and fill the shoes of the currently missing ADC.

The player that had their number called to step up was none other than QiuQiu. QiuQiu is usually a Support player for TES but has previous experience running the highlighted role of ADC in his career.

This is going to stir things up a bit, mainly because Draftkings and Fanduel have QiuQiu still listed as a Support player ONLY for tonights LOL DFS slate.

While I do think it will be a new experience for TES to deal with, they are a solid team. They can fully utilize every player on their roster and show the world that they can win with “the next man up” strategy.

I will have a boat-load of shares of both three-man and four-man stacks of TES. Just in case they have difficulties with this approach, I will have a 70/30 split of TES and RW in my LOL LPL DFS lineups.

FAVORITE CAPTAINS / STARS:

QiuQiu (SUP) (PLAYING ADC) (TES)

Knight (MID) (TES)

Tian (JNG) (FPX)

LWX (ADC) (FPX)

Doinb (MID) (EDG)

Crisp (SUP) (FPX)

SLATE SUMMARY: LPL SUMMER SPLIT

I will be building ten ESPORTS DFS lineups. I will have 80% of my lineups with a three or four-man stack of FPX. My lineup builds will have a 70/30 split on my four or three-man stacks of both TES (70%) and RW (30%).

Tonight I will be using different combinations of player captains, focusing on the best overall build. ADC and MID are always my priorities, but in order to get the stack with the highest output of fantasy production, I have no problem playing JNG as captain/star for this slate ONLY (rare circumstances). I will have a few lineups with double SUP because QiuQiu is listed as SUP only. My lineups will have a share of 20% of three or four-man stacks of LNG (HEDGE PURPOSES ONLY).
