DFS Slate

I’ll be focusing on my core plays for the 5.6 DFS Tournament for DK LoL, DK CSGO, and interviewing the hottest esports player, JThomson. This article is focused around DraftKings ONLY. This is what I plan to do with my 7 lineups for each competitions!

LOL – EU Masters – 5.5 DFS

It’s a 2 game slate with JNG Captain taking the big prize in the big GPPs, but tomorrow is all about all about the ADC-MID position being the captain. Before we dive in, I did a 3 question interview with JT on his 7 day takedown streak. Let’s dive in!

Javi – JT. Let’s stick the fluff and get right to it. What’s been your strategy to the takedowns? EU Masters is a disaster. Teach us!

JT – Well, Javi, it boils down to my strategy of hedging everything. I hand build about 50 lines with 10 main lineups and focus on 4-2 stacks. About 80% of my stacks go to MID or ADC at Captain with stacking the TOP, SUP guys on the same team as my captain and working that route. It’s been mainly 2 game slate takedowns and I have every way pretty much locked.

Javi – Well thanks for the information. I wonder who taught you the ways to the promised land! What are you focusing on tomorrow?

JT – You know I look up to you and you taught me everything I know. Owe a lot of the takedowns to you! As for the slate, I’m focusing primarily on FNC with GO/KICK. I think FNC runs away with this, but we can’t count out MRS. MRS is a solid squad who can catch a heater, but I think FNC is the better team. MagiFelix at the MID for FNC isn’t good so try to avoid him. Again, focus on Matty at Captain with the JNG, TOP, and SUP from FNC with whatever stack. It won’t fit with GO, but should fit with KICK!

Javi – Thanks for the credit on teaching you the ways! I think I’m on a similar path as you for tomorrow. JT, last question though. Who gets the next takedown? Me or you??

JT – Going for 8 in a row so I’m saying me, but I’ll try to let you win this one also. HAHA!

Cliff Notes – AVOID TOP and SUP for Captain. JNG at Captain is OK for FNC-GO stacks ONLY. My picks are FNC / KICK so I’ll have 4-2 stacks of both together. Should be chalky though.

With League of Legends and ESports DFS, I recommend you LEAVE SOME MONEY ON THE TABLE. Leave $500 or more, be different and take a shot to win the $50k (if I don’t)

On the 4/26 Esports DFS Slate, I am going to focus on my favorite LOL stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel. My LOL targets can be used in both cash games and GPP’s. When playing LOL, I recommend playing Tournaments.

#1 Target: Vivo Keyd (VK) (-185).

Vivo Keyd (VK) (-185) is the number one team in the CBLOL (The Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends). VK has a 14 win and six loss record, and by far the number one overall team in the league. They are coming into this matchup facing off against a team currently tied for the number three spot in the league (KaBum! e-Sorts) (+135), with a kill projection of 16.5, which is the second-highest on the ESPORTS DFS slate. This is my favorite stack of the night. VK is a very aggressive team that should have no trouble defeating anyone in the league. Most of my lineups are going to be stacked with VK players.

#2 Target: Target: Prodigy Esports (PRG) (-250).

My second favorite stack of the day is Prodigy Esports (PRG) (-250). The only reason they are not my number one stack is due to their elevated salary at every position. PRG should completely dismantle the last-place team in the CBLOL (Redemption eSports) (RDP) (+180). RDP is a team that gets embarrassed in almost every matchup. This should be no different. PRG is tied with VK for the second-highest projected kill team total, but I think they should have a higher projection. RDP allows massive fantasy point production to opposing teams in almost every game that they play. I am going to have three out of my ten lineups with full four-man stacks of PRG players.

#3 Target: INTZ (ITZ) (+135).

My number three target is INTZ (ITZ) (+135), an underdog facing off against the number two team in the CBLOL (Flamengo eSports) (FLA) (-185). This matchup is projected to have the highest death total (29.5), which means a lot of killing, fantasy points, and will most likely be a closer match than expected. I am siding with ITZ here, due to the fact, that even when they lose, they produce high fantasy numbers. Don’t get me wrong, FLA is definitely the better team, but I think that ITZ will keep it close and outproduce their respected salaries. I will have two out of my ten lineups with ITZ stacks, and two out of ten lineups with stacks of FLA players. I am not opposed to stacking this game completely in the attempt to take down a big GPP. I know I will have one lineup doing just that.

HONORABLE MENTION STACKS (In order of preference):

Flamengo eSports (FLA) (-185)

paiN Gaming (PNG) (-135)
or
FURIA Uppercut (FUR) (EVEN)

Favorite Captains (In order of preference):

Klaus (VK) (ADC)

Garo (PRG) (ADC)

micaO (ITZ) (ADC)

Absolut (FLA) (ADC)

brTT (PNG) (ADC)

Alternative (FUR) (ADC)

SLATE SUMMARY:

On the 4/26 six-game ESPORTS DFS slate, I will be building ten lineups. This slate is very tricky. Two matchups could be a potential game stack opportunity, due to the fact that those teams can produce heavy fantasy points even in a loss, if you add in the fact that they are games with Vegas odds that are very close and the overall kill projections, it screams game stack. Those two games are FUR Vs. PNG and ITZ Vs. FLA. It is not always recommended to game stack, I am saying that it could be a way to get different in GPP’s ONLY and is NOT optimal by any means. IT IS EXTREMELY RISKY, so please proceed with caution. I AM STILL PRIORITIZING NORMAL FOUR-TWO-ONE, AND FOUR THREE STACKS over any game stack. Only two out of my ten lineups will be game stacks (one of each game noted above). In my other lineups, I will have stacks of VK and PRG. I will be focusing my lineup construction ONLY with ADC in my captain position. Good luck tonight, and don’t forget to come back and WIN DAILY.

On the 4/25 Esports DFS Slate, I am going to focus on my favorite LOL stacks for DraftKings and Fanduel. My LOL targets can be used in both cash games and GPP’s. When playing LOL, I recommend playing Tournaments.

#1 Target: Movistar Riders (MRS) (-588).

MRS is the heaviest favorite on today’s ESPORTS DFS slate, my favorite team today, and for a good reason. They are about to face-off versus Team Singularity(SNG) (+357), an opponent who is the worst in the EU Masters at the moment. When watching SNG battle it out on the map, it looks like they are trying to find every possible way to lose. It looks like an episode of 1,000 ways to die the way that they put themselves out in harm’s way, and they don’t even attempt a single attack. The problem with SNG’s attempted unique strategy is they are facing off against MRS. In MRS’s first matchup, they took out the number one seed (S04E). They looked like a team that has been playing together for years. They routed S04E, and every player produced high scoring fantasy numbers. In their second matchup, they looked like a team that was lost in the sauce versus K1CK. K1CK is a very good team and is now proving to me that they are a legitimate contender for the title. MRS, in my eyes, is still a top tier team and should absolutely obliterate SNG. SNG will be scrambling around, not knowing what to do, or knowing what hit them. I expect MRS to dominate and pay off their price tags with ease. I will be playing as many players from the Movistar Riders roster. In over half of my lineups, I will have anywhere from one to four players from this squad and expect them to be the highest fantasy point producers on today’s ESPORTS DFS slate.

#2 Target: K1ck Neosurf #2 (K1CK) (+229).

My second favorite stack of the day is none other than K1ck Neosurf (K1CK) (+229). K1CK fought their way through the play-in stage for a spot to play in the EU Masters. Usually, the teams that are granted a seat by the play-ins generally do not fend well on the big stage. K1ck Neosurf has not only proven that they should be here, but they are making a statement. In their first matchup, they were paired up against the dreadful roster of SNG. Let’s just say it was not even close. The next matchup, they dropped a bomb on the entire tournament and made a top team (Movistar Riders) look like a practice squad. Now they have another tough matchup versus FC Shalke 04 (S04E) (-312). In my opinion, Vegas oddsmakers got it wrong here. There is no way that K1CK should be one of the heaviest underdogs on the slate (+229) after dismantling their previous two opponents. I will take an edge wherever I can get one, and I believe this could be that edge. This should be an extremely bloody and fantasy-friendly matchup. K1CK should come into this matchup and continue to fight their hearts out. I believe that S04E is by no means a bad team, but I think K1ck Neosurf is going to provide another teaching lesson. This time FC Shalke 04 will be on the receiving end.

#3 Target: LDLC OL (LDLC) (-286).

LDLC is ready to drop the beat down on Defuse Kids (DK) (+209). They have proven in their last couple of games that they can accumulate kills, produce fantasy points, and win. They are one and one in the EU Masters at the moment, but I expect that to change today. DK is a very weak team that is going to get taken advantage of all over the map. DK has done nothing but struggle in their last two games, quickly rolling downhill to what will soon be a no-win Masters. LDLC has hopes that are alive and well. Even though they dropped a game to VGIA, they still produced kills and fantasy numbers. In their win versus RGE, they lit them up with ease. I love targeting teams that are in matchups against sub-par opponents, and this is a prime example. I am going to have multiple lineups with full four-man stacks from LDLC OL.

HONORABLE MENTION STACKS (In order of preference):

Gamer Legion (GL) (+125)

BT Excel (BTXL) (-357)

Vodafone Giants (VGIA) (-208)

Favorite Captains (In order of preference):

JaVaaa (MRS) (ADC)

Puki Style (K1CK) (ADC)

Hades (LDLC) (ADC)

Hjarnan (GL) (ADC)

Deadly (BTXL) (ADC)

Attila (VGIA) (ADC)

SLATE SUMMARY:

On the 4/25 six-game ESPORTS DFS slate, I will be building ten lineups. In about 60% of my lineups, I will have anywhere from one player to four-man stacks of MRS, K1CK, and LDLC. I will be using my Honorable Mention stacks (GL, BTXL, VGIA) in about 40% of my lineups and mixing and matching filler players to fit my builds with available salary. I will be building ONLY four-three, four-two-one, and three-three-one stacks in all of my lineups. I want to note that on the previous two EU Masters, DFS slates the lineup that took home $20k+ was a four-two-one stack. The “one” in my lineups will be chosen from any position (except captain) based on how much salary I have left to utilize. I will be focusing my lineup construction ONLY with ADC in my captain position.
Good luck tonight, and don’t forget to come back and WIN DAILY.
