7/13 LPL League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 7/13 LPL League of Legends Breakdown, tonight we have a two-game slate with one lopsided affair followed by an absolute banger of a series between LNG and Team WE. BLG/TT is going to be the lopsided match as BLG has come out swinging this split picking up some big wins over teams such as FPX while TT has faltered through the gates once again being one of the worst teams in the LPL. Let’s get into these matches and see the tale of the stats to make the best plays possible.

BLG vs TT

The first match of the day and one that is going to be a lopsided match in terms of overall record and KDA’s for both teams here. BLG has been one of the most impressive teams in the LPL this split with their uber-talented roster finally congealing to play together the right way. TT on the other hand has made no major additions to their roster and has been sticking in the bottom half of the LPL for 2020. BLG holds most advantages here and they also have an overall lane advantage throughout the map.

BLG is going to win this matchup as they also hold edges in the early and late games. I believe it is more important to see here the CKPM of each team to get a view into how bloody the match will be. Both teams here hold very similar CKPM’s at 0.82 and 0.83. TT is a team that likes to take fights from behind while when BLG knows they have outmatched an opponent they tend to Macro the enemy team instead of looking for cross-map fights and proactive plays. BLG is going to win this matchup in a convincing 2-0, but I don’t know if the upside is going to be there for them tonight. I am looking for my small stacks to come from BLG tonight, especially the team spot.

LNG vs WE

Our second match of the night and the one that I believe will decide most contests tonight. We have a matchup here between two of the better teams in the LPL and I expect this to end as a very bloody series. Team WE have had a bit of a merry-go-round in the mid-lane continually switching between Mole and Shanks. LNG on the other hand had one of the best possible starts possible to the split starting off 5-0 and picking up some nice wins, since then they have looked much worse and have not had the same chemistry they had at the start of the split.

Looking into the potential of this match being bloody we have a CKPM here for WE of 0.92 while LNG has one of 0.75, which is surprising with how they won their matches to begin the split. Team WE also holds a first turret advantage here and falls behind slightly in First blood but overall holds an advantage in the early game. It will be close though if they are able to play out that lead and carry the lead into the late game. I expect this to be a very close matchup with Team WE taking the win in a 2-1 series. I also want my 4 stacks to come from this match as it projects to be the bloodier series of the two.

Summary

I like BLG to 2-0 and WE to win 2-1. I am going to be looking to take my 4 stacks from this second game and mainly be touching WE to get the bloodiness of that series into my lineups. I am not against taking a 4 stack of BLG as that match can end up being bloody as well but for a single line, I am going to be taking WE as my main team.

7/8 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 7/8 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown and I would just like to say, THANK YOU BLG. They absoloutley showed out last night against FPX and helped us to cash big time with that upset call. Tonight though I do not believe it is going to be the same story in terms of upsets. We have another four game slate tonight with our two LCK matches being HLE/KT and BRO/DRX. Moving over towards the LPL our two matches are going to be TES/V5 and RA/TT. I am looking to key in on these LPL matches tonight for my lineups.

BRO vs DRX

DRX is coming our firing tonight with a new Bot lane coming in for them. They have sent down Bao and Becca, their replacements are not too much better. Taeyoon and Jun are not world breaking players, neither looks to be anything special and just new bodies to throw into the dumpster fire that is DRX. BRO on the other hand has once again been playing surprisingly well due to their play style that keeps them in matches until the very end with their laid back style, looking for mistakes to capitalize on. I have a heavy lean towards BRO here before looking into stats.

Just a quick look into the stats of the matchup and you are immediatley leaning towards BRO here. They control the early and late games in a very dominant style compared to DRX. The main problem I see with this match tonight is both of these teams play incredibly slow kill wise and I cannot see either being in the optimal lineup in a win, especially DRX. I am going to cross both of these teams out of my GPP pool as I believe we are going to get a smash game from BRO TEAM spot, just not anywhere else. BRO 2-0

KT vs HLE

This is our LCK game that I do believe has a chance to make an impact in on the slate tonight. These teams both move a good bit faster with two of the highest CKPM’s in the LCK. Both of these teams have been up and down this split but none moreso than HLE, they have the ability to crush on any given day with the talent they have sitting in the mid lane with Chovy but the rest of the map for them is behind the curve in the LCK. KT on the other hand has been looking much better picking up wins consistently this split and now throwing leads with terrible late game calls. Let’s take a dive into the stats.

Early and late games both go the way of KT, which is honestly very surprising with how much they enjoy throwing matches in the late game. I am going to be messing with this match for my GPP’s aswell as I do like KT to take the win in a demanding fashion but, whenever KT is favored to win they like to put on a good show and lose 2-0. I might have one line with HLE tonight but I am going to be focusing everything on KT for value tonight.

Rare Atom vs TT

There honestly is not too much to say about our next two matches with both of then being very one sided affairs with the high kill possibility in both. This is the match though where I am going to be looking to have less of my 4 stacks from and focus on my small stacks here. RA has looked much better this split looking like a more complete team overall. I like them here in a spot to win in a confident 2-0, their CKPM is very similar to our second LCK match with both teams being in the 0.75-0.8 range. Key in on RA to fill out your stacks for our next team here. RA to win in a dominant 2-0.

TES vs V5

This is going to be our highest kill matchup of the nigth and our safest with a -5000 favorite in TES. V5 on the other hand is just one of the terrible teams of the LPL, I expect them to finish last in the league as well. This is our pace up spot as I stated before as TES has a CKPM of 0.91 and V5 sitting at 0.8. I am looking to stack TES here with RA or KT, both are good stacks tonight, I like to play SUP cap to get them with RA. Play four TES toinght, figure out how and get it done. TES 2-0

Summary

BRO 2-0, KT 2-1, RA 2-0, TES 2-0. Tonight for gpp’s we are looking to combine some team with KT while for cash I am going to be focusing in on TES/RA. For captains tonight I like Karsa, Dove, Fofo, Noah, Blank. Qingtian, and Zhuo. They are all some of my favorite options on the day.

7/7 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 7/7 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown. Tonight we are going to have a four-game slate with two coming from the LPL and two from the LCK. Last night we were able to hit cash with our 4 stacks of EDG and I am looking to carry on into tonight. Our LCK matches tonight are going to be NS/AF and DWG/LSB. My initial first picks here are going to be NS and DWG while for the LPL our two matches are going to be FPX/BLG and RNG/LGD. Let us dig into our slate for tonight.

NS vs AF

Our first match that we are touching on for the night in the LCK and one that I am going to be looking towards for value tonight. This is a match between the ideas of a record and the strength of schedule of the other. NS has been able to take down some of the giants such as DWG and T1 while also being able to take a game away from Gen G. AF on the other hand holds one of the best records in the LCK while mainly picking off some of the worst teams in the LCK. They were able to pick up a win over T1 but in a close 2-1 matchup while taking losses against the upper tier of teams in the LCK.

NS is finally reaching to be one of the upper-tier teams in the LCK being able to play through their JG in Peanut along with their bot lane, mainly Deokdam, to be able to carry them. I do believe this is going to be a very close match but ultimately a 2-1 win for NS. I like this match for the value you can pick up but I would not take any more than a three-stack in this matchup.

DWG vs LSB

This is the matchup where I believe we are going to have our surprising upside as in certain circumstances both of these teams are able to put up massive kill numbers. If you are looking to play a huge GPP upset play I would look to go with LSB as a four stack tonight. I do not believe they are going to be able to pull it off tonight, it will be another close matchup as I also believe DWG is going to be breaking in a new ADC in Rehal. Prince does have the ability to take down this new bot lane for DWG and put them far ahead in the matchup, do not look to play Ghost tonight as he won’t play. Same as Malrang. I am taking DWG to win here 2-1 and if you want your deep GPP shot go with LSB.

FPX vs BLG

I believe this is going to be one of our main matches to take our four stacks from and somewhere I am focusing on for tonight. I really like the side of BLG here as they have consistently competed with some of the best competition in the LPL. FPX is still an incredibly solid team that is strong. The mid-lane matchup is going to be key here tonight as it will be Zeka matched up with DoinB. Elsewhere on the map, I believe both of these teams are very even with a slight overall advantage going over to the side of BLG tonight.

Both of these teams are also very bloody and I am looking for that to continue into tonight. If playing multiple lines I would look to hedge here and end up taking both sides but for my own GPP shot I am going to be taking BLG here but probably as a three-stack tonight. BiuBiu/Aiming/BLG team are my favorite plays from BLG. FPX’s top overall play is going to be DoinB as he is outscoring the rest of the roster considerably. I am also not against a 1 off here tonight for him. I am taking BLG to win 2-1 in a bloody close match that can go either way.

RNG vs LGD

Our last match of the night and my favorite to touch on. I believe this has the potential to be the slate breaker but this is going to end up being a bit of a toss-up match. RNG has looked nowhere near their spring split form this split but they have had some of the best competition in the LPL taking on the likes of FPX/TES/SN. LGD on the other hand, have been a big surprise this split and I expect them to put up a fight tonight against their opposition in RNG. They have done this through their new addition of Shadow and Xiye, along with Fearness in the top lane. Both of these teams are quite talented and have a shot to run away with a slate breaker match here.

I am going out on a limb here and probably against ownership to be able to take RNG winning here in a clean 2-0 tonight. They will be the highest scoring stack in a 2-0 as LGD like to fight when down and even when up in the matchup. If you are into playing GPP and want a more popular upset then go with LGD to take over this matchup and give good value on their side. But I am looking forward to RNG righting the ship here and take over.

Summary

Thank you for reading my 7/7 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown. My picks for tonight are NS 2-1, DWG 2-1, BLG 2-1, RNG 2-0. I am not really looking to play cash tonight but GPP is where it is at with both LPL matches being able to go either way.

7/2 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 7/2 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown, with both leagues back in action tonight I am leaning heavily towards the LPL tonight as the league to focus on. We have four of the highest upside potential matchups in the LPL and I believe we are going to be able to use these to our advantage. In the LCK we also have two matches where we are possibly able to reach for some value tonight to pack in all of our plays from the LPL. The four matches we have tonight are LGD/RW, JDG/UP, DWG/NS, and BRO/KT.

Using a little more straightforward breakdown tonight I am going to highlight my cash game plays, GPP plays, and then finally a summary of the night.

Cash games

For cash tonight I am going to commit a sin in the LOL DFS community and I am going to bite the bullet to play Support at captain. The two LPL matches that we have tonight are going to outscore everything else on the slate and be the deciding factor on the day. These are two very safe teams as well as they both should pick up relatively easy 2-0’s on the day. I am leaning on taking LGD as my four stacks here tonight as they have a matchup with RW, the team in the LPL with the highest CKPM.

For the second half of our lineup, we are going to have to touch on JDG as their matchup against UP and the aggressive playstyle they tend to play with is going to give me a heavy lean towards them too on the slate. Both of these teams are ones that I would not only play in cash games but GPP’s too. I believe we can expect both of these series to hover around the 40 kill mark over the two games and neither of them should have the chance to touch three. Of the two favorites we have here tonight LGD is going to be my favorite four stacks to play as I believe they won’t just be able to macro RW to death tonight.

GPP Plays

I am looking to heavily play our two cash game mainstays in any GPP I can get them into, though to do this we are going to have to look towards our LCK matches to play them win, we have DWG/NS and KT/BRO. For value, we have KT who can fit in nicely with LGD and is the team I lean towards in the matchup between KT/BRO. For a main four stack of JDG tonight we have two options. We can small stack NS or BRO, I believe both of these teams can win tonight but I give a slightly heavier lean over towards BRO to take a win than NS.

For the combos I am looking to play tonight in GPP they are setting up to be LGD/KT, LGD/NS, JDG/NS, JDG/BRO. I like all of those options tonight with my favorite option being by far and away LGD/KT with Shadow patrolling our captain spot tonight. LCK is going to be very close tonight and if double support doesn’t takedown it is going to be who calls these LCK values matches correctly. I would hedge the small stacks of BRO/KT. I am also not against playing our Cash play in GPP tonight as I believe that the support cap can very much take down on this slate.

Summary

My favorite plays on this slate overall are going to be LGD and JDG who I believe will both win in a 2-0 and score through the roof. I believe the LPL is the way to go tonight for any four stacks you can build as their upside is leaps and bounds ahead of the LCK in terms of pace. Final picks are LGD 2-0, JDG 2-0, KT 2-1, DWG 2-1.

6/29 LPL League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 6/29 LPL League of Legends Breakdown where I am looking to give an edge on our two-game slate for tonight. Last night I got saved by hedging with the V5/RW matchup and I hope some of you followed in that. Tonight we are going to have another two-game slate including EDG/UP followed by LGD/IG. Let us dig into these matches for tonight to try and find an edge.

EDG vs UP

In the first match of the night, we have one of the best in the world against one of the worst in the world as the simplest way to put it. UP has shown to be better this split with the addition of Smlz in the bot lane to pair with ShiauC. This has assisted the bot lane but the holes around the rest of the roster have continued to shine through. EDG on the other hand has delivered once again as one of the best teams in the LPL currently holding the top overall record in the league. EDG holds the heavy advantage here team-wise and in every lane.

Looking into stats EDG holds an advantage in the early, mid, and late games. EDG has some of the best players in the world collectively in all lanes. Though all of this would usually mean that you should send out four EDG players, I think that wouldn’t be the best idea for tonight as I believe that they will just use this game to macro play UP and win through towers and gold leads instead of kills. I don’t believe that EDG will be looking to go kill-heavy here. I am looking to take my mini stacks here from EDG.

IG vs LGD

The last match that we have on the day and the closer of the two. This is where I am looking to take my four stacks from with either side as I believe the winner of this match is going to have the highest kill total on the day. According to the odds, this is also going to be the closer of the two and I can see this going to three games on the day. My initial lean is towards LGD here as they have been a big surprise on this split and they match up well with IG here giving them the advantage here. Shadow in the jungle would be the main difference-maker in his matchup with Xun.

Looking into the stats here it is going to be a pretty even matchup. Personally me lean is going to be towards LGD but I am probably going to look to be hedging here tonight with my lines. For a SE look, I would look to move towards playing four LGD with three EDG but if your looking to play three lines two of them for me will have LGD and one with IG to complete the hedge on the day. Look for LGD to win here in a very close, high-scoring 2-1 matchup.

Summary

EDG 2-0 and LGD 2-1. I would not entirely be against playing a four stack of EDG as UP enjoys fighting when they are losing but my definitive lean tonight is going to be towards the side of the LGD/IG match. Thank you for reading my 6/29 LPL League of Legends Breakdown today and I am excited to see the green in the morning from the slate.

6/26 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome back to my 6/26 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown where I am looking to have another good day after we had multiple people take down the big GPP in discord yesterday!!! Today we have an outstanding five-game slate with 3 LPL matches and 2 LCK ones. Our five matches today include NS/BRO, GEN/AF, BLG/OMG, RNG/FPX, and RA/WE. Let’s dive into our matchups today to see the best plays.

WE vs RA

This is our first match of the day with the LPL starting it off. WE recently disappointed against FPX losing a 2-0 match while RA just took a win over TES. Both of these teams have a tendency to play slow recently and they are making me shy away from them tonight. This is going to be a close match that I do not believe will have a lot of impact on the optimal for the day. I am looking for a win here by RA as they should pull off the upset over WE. I wouldn’t touch this match tonight but I am not against hedging here if you’re playing 10+ GPP lines.

GEN vs AF

The first of our two LCK matches and it is between two of the slower-paced teams in the LCK, GEN hasn’t lost yet while AF has been off to a very surprising start to the split. These are two of the teams with the best records in the LCK. I expect this match to be relatively one-sided here in favor of GEN, they are showing off once again as one of the best teams in the LCK and I can look back to them tonight for some value in my secondary stacks to pick up an easy win for value on this slate tonight.

OMG vs BLG

BLG is a team that constantly likes to disappoint no matter the situation. Their roster has the talent to take down almost any team in the LPL while on the other hand, OMG has been surprising so far, taking two wins on the year including one major win over RNG and wins over IG and RW. Tonight I am giving the heavy lean over to OMG as their bot lane is how they have been beating up on teams with Able and Cold, which is a major gap tonight in favor of OMG. OMG has also been using NEW in the top lane which delivers another carry option for them in the top lane, BLG has something similar in BiuBiu but I don’t believe they have the complete overall team to take down OMG tonight. OMG in a 2-1 but I am not against both sides here.

NS vs BRO

I believe neither of these teams has a chance to be optimal due to their play styles. I will say I am not against some of the plays here. For some very odd reason, NS has Gori in the mid lane at an astonishing 6400. Do I believe that NS wins? yes, do I believe it will be high kills? no. Does that matter if you’re getting a winning mid laner for one of the lowest prices of the slate? not at all, I am playing Gori, there is no way I can’t take this value I am taking NS to win here 2-0 and playing me some Gori mid.

RNG vs FPX

The last match on our slate and also the one which has the most upside on the day. RNG is my favorite overall play on the slate and I believe they are who you need to target as your main four stack on the slate tonight. If you were making two lines tonight I would hedge this matchup first and foremost. RNG came into the split losing 2 in a row against OMG and following that up with LNG. FPX on the other hand has their only loss coming by way of LNG. They also have not had the stiffest of competition in their other matchups. This is going to be the highest paced match of the day and it will be decided mainly through the mid lane, if Cryin is able to hold off DoinB all other lanes and the jungle is some of the strongest in the world for RNG and would deliver them the win here tonight. If playing multiples I would hedge here for however many lines you do as I can only see this being the highest-scoring matchup of the day. RNG to win 2-1

Summary

RA 2-1 WE, GEN 2-0 AF, OMG 2-1 BLG, NS 2-0 BRO, and RNG 2-1 FPX. The matches with the highest upside include OMG/BLG and RNG/FPX. For cash tonight I wouldn’t really have a set of two cash teams because there is a chance that the losing team from the last match outscores an LCK sweep.

6/24 League of Legends LPL/LCK Breakdown

Welcome to my 6/24 League of Legends LPL/LCK Breakdown. Yesterday we saw AF pull off the upset and JDG do what we expected, the letdown of the night was the FPX/WE game as the kill total disappointed horribly. The king slayers also struck again with BRO taking down DWG in a 2-1 snooze fest of a match. Today we have another four-game slate including GEN/LSB, T1/NS, SN/EDG, and RNG/RW. I am excited to dig into this slate and I believe I have the upset that we are looking for to give us the value we need for our lines tonight.

GEN G vs LSB

Leading off with our first LCK match of the night and this is where I believe we are going to be able to find our main upset of the slate. Sandbox has been playing outstanding as of late taking down HLE and T1 in back-to-back matches, both in surprising 2-0’s. Gen G on the other hand has played in 2 consecutive 2-1 matchup with wins coming over NS and KT, they also were able to put away HLE with a 2-0 and have not dropped a series being the only undefeated team in the LCK. Let’s dive more into the stats behind the match.

Looking through each team’s stats on the split we have GEN and LSB going even through the early game with GEN pulling ahead at 15 minutes with around an 800 gold lead. GEN really pulls away in the late game holding the edge in drakes and baron takes. I wouldn’t entirely fade GEN on this slate as they are supposed to win here, they are the biggest LCK favorite but with how LSB has looked these past two matches I am going out on a limb to pick them for the upset today in order to get in my 4 stacks of RNG. LSB to win 2-1, favorite plays Summit, Fate, LSB team.

T1 vs NS

Our second LCK match of the night between two of the middle-tier teams in the LCK. I believe T1 is going to be the winner of our match tonight as they are the overall better squad. T1 holds an advantage throughout the map which I believe will carry over into this match. T1 will also be looking to put a beatdown onto NS as they suffered an embarrassing 2-0 loss to LSB in their last match. NS on the other hand is coming off a close loss to GEN while still getting off to a good start on the season. Let’s take a dive into the stats of the match.

T1 holds all early game advantages here as they rank in the top 3 in the early game while NS falls behind. Between the two there is a 2300 gold difference at 15 minutes in favor of T1, while NS owns the late game holding a better Dragon% and holding an equal Baron take %. NS has been able to do this through their superior team fighting with their new mid-laner Gori. T1 on the other hand has been successful through their early game with the overall power of Cuzz and their bot lane behind headlined by Teddy. I am expecting T1 to win this matchup in a 2-1 and my favorite plays are Canna, Teddy, Faker, T1 team spot.

SN vs EDG

We get a banger of a matchup here in the LPL between two top-tier teams in the league. EDG is undefeated on the season looking dominant once again with their lineup being headlined by Viper and Scout. SN on the other hand has been off to a rocky start so far being 6-4 overall on the season. They still have their power players in the bot lane with Huenfeng and having Angel in the mid lane but they are outmatched on the other side here by Viper and Scout. EDG is a tier above SN here and I believe it will show tonight.

Stats here give way to a distinctive advantage given over to EDG which relates to the advantages they also hold in lanes and in the jungle. Suning does have a way to win this matchup as they do have Huenfeng in the bot lane who is one of the best ADC’s in the LPL and the world. If he was up against anyone other than Viper I would give them a strong chance to win this matchup. Viper though is also one of the best players in the LPL and the world which gives EDG the overall advantage. EDG wins here 2-0 and I like them in cash plays mostly, the entire team is viable.

RNG vs RW

This is going to be our last match of the day to write up and I believe that it is going to be where we have to look for blood tonight. RNG is one of the bloodier teams in the LPL while RW is also one of the bloodier teams in losses as they fight until the very end. This is going to be another one of those highly lopsided matchups as RNG is an incredible -2500 favorite and there is good reason for that. Play RNG tonight and play a lot of RNG, they are one of the best teams in the LPL while RW is one of the worst.

The stats here are all in favor of RNG while RW holds nothing over their heads. I expect RNG to steamroll RW here with the kills to boot to back up their numbers in picking them tonight. RNG will win 2-0 and their entire team is viable to play tonight. If there was a fade to be named in this lineup it would have to be Cryin in the mid-lane.

Summary

LSB 2-1, T1 2-1, RNG 2-0, EDG 2-0. Tonight is going to be pretty set in stone for the LPL while I do enjoy some hedges here in the LCK with both matches being close. I can see a scenario where Gen G and NS win so for cash I would have to give it over towards RNG/EDG and for a GPP combo I would go with RNG/LSB.

6/23 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Hello there, and welcome back to my 6/23 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown. We are moving back into these four-game slates for the rest of the week and I am looking to deliver on the edge for tonight. Our four games include matchups between DWG/BRO, HLE/AF, JDG/V5, and FPX/WE. I am expecting some big upsets tonight so let us dig into the slate!!!

DWG vs BRO

Our first match tonight is going to be DWG/BRO, or who are known as the king slayers. BRO has made a tendency of winning against some of the top talents in the LCK as the last split as a new team they were able to hand DWG their first loss. I am not going to be one of the people on the upset train here tonight as once against DWG looks solid and honestly even better without having Ghost in the lineup.

DWG is once against consistently leading the LCK in most statistical categories and will go off their early and late-game dominance here to get over the hump on BRO. For gpp players tonight I would not touch this matchup outside of possibly Showmaker or the Team spot. The upside here is going to be limited as BRO is one of the slowest teams in the league so I wouldn’t full stack DWG anywhere either but they are one of the best cash options on the slate. DWG clean 2-0 with the best plays being Showmaker/TEAM.

HLE vs AF

This is a matchup between what I believe to be two of the middle-tier teams in the LCK. AF has been off to a surprising start this split taking down KT/DRX/BRO, while HLE has been a massive disappointment so far losing to the likes of LSB/GEN/T1 with their only win being a 2-1 over BRO. The switch at ADC for AF has been the main cog in their machine this split as LEO has been stepping up to the table for them so far while HLE has had an extreme disappointment patrolling the bot lane in Deft, with the only bright spot on their team being Chovy as he is one of the best mid laners in the world.

This is going to be one of my matchups to target tonight as both of these teams lean towards the bloodier side of the rift. AF will play up to any team’s aggression at all times, they enjoy fighting especially with some of the talents they have in players like Kiin and Dread both of whom have had amazing starts to the split. I can not continue to give all the credit to AF here as I do believe HLE still has a chance to make a push this split as long as they have Chovy in the mid-lane. I am looking for AF to win a bloody 2-1 match but would recommend a hedge here. The best plays would be Kiin, Dread, Leo, Lehends. From HLE I like Chovy and that’s about it in a win for them.

JDG vs V5

I absolutely love the matches there is no reason for me to talk about much and this is one of them, this is one of those one-sided stomps that are the perfect play for cash games and amazing fades for gpp’s to dodge some ownership. JDG is throwing out a bit of a curveball by sending out LPC over LokeN tonight. I am expecting this to not have much of an effect on this match and if anything give us an extra $200 salary for our slate tonight. I am hesitant on completely fading this match for gpp’s as JDG enjoys playing fast and furious which can lead to them racking up the kills but from what I have watched so far V5 plays extremely safe in losses and won’t give up the kills to pay of JDG’s salary.

JDG is going to be a priority cash game play tonight no matter what as they are in one of the best spots tonight to pick up a win and due to their playstyle I can also see them being good for gpp’s. I really like JDG as your secondary stacks to either this next matchup or for AF 4 man stacks. I am picking a quick 2-0 for JDG and I would play anyone from this team tonight with the priority as always on Kanavi in the jungle with his tendency to play carry junglers.

FPX vs WE

This is an FPX match, which almost certainly means it is going to be one of the highest kill matches on the slate. These are two of the top teams in the LPL. This will be where the blood is tonight and I can see both of these teams taking down a major gpp in a 4 stack. The real question is which one are you going to pick. I am putting my initial lean on team WE here as long as Mole decides to not feed DoinB. Both of these teams constantly fight in losses while racking up the kills in wins

This is an incredibly even matchup through and through. Looking into the individual lane matchups we have two of the best top laners in Nuguri and Breathe. An edge to the jungler in Beishang for WE. The edge given over to DoinB for FPX in the mid lane. The bot lane I would also have to call even as the two positions cancel out each other. I can not emphasize it enough to play both of these teams tonight to hedge. For you SE players I would have to go WE and pair them up with JDG tonight to get into the optimal lineup. Picking WE 2-1 and my favorite plays being everyone from this game on both sides.

Summary

To start off this summary your cash game plays are going to be JDG/DWG, they are the two safe picks on the slate tonight. Looking into the GPP plays I am very excited to list WE/AF as my favorite two plays tonight but I do like both sides of WE/FPX and I believe there is safety and upside in the JDG matchup.

4/14 EUM League of Legends breakdown

Welcome to my 4/14 EUM League of Legends breakdown where I am looking to deliver on the best picks possible for these upcoming tourneys. EUM is a tournament of the lower tier teams in League, some of the new players in the LEC such as Jeskla, Promisq, and Tynx are remnants of EUM rosters from Mouseports and LDLC. We have had some roster changes and I am excited to dig into these new teams for everyone!! We have a 6 match day 1 slate and it is going to be full of upsets I believe. Let’s dig into it!!

BTXL (-180) vs FC04E (+140)

Our first match and one that I believe was price too closely, Schalke has been a middling team in their league while BTXL and dominated one of the premier league teams in the European scene. They finished out their season by 3-0ing Fnatic rising which is Fnatic’s academy team in the playoffs. I believe these odds are closer than they should be and the overall talent on BTXL should carry over to a win. I don’t know how else to say this but this schalke team fights until the very last second. In one of their regular season matches in a loss they had 32 kills along with an overall 51 kill match. I believe BTXL wins and is one of the highest upside plays on the slate.

Karmine Corps (-450) vs CRB (+290)

Another regional matchup here with Spain vs the main European league and I am once again expecting the Euro league to take the win here as like BTXL, Karmine Corps is one of the best in the lower level League of Legends scene. They have a recent addition from FNC.R in xMatty and I expect him to contribute to them in a win here over CRB. This should be a easy win though I am not too confident in the bloodiness of this match. I will say that all these matches have the ability to be extremely bloody as these teams fight more than the LPL. Karmine corps would be useable for cash games.

Mouz (-750) vs MCK (+425)

There is not much to say here and I am going to keep it short and sweet. DO NOT PLAY MCK TOMORROW. They are a brand new LOL team and were established with this roster on January 18th. They will not beat Mouz and this makes Mouz the best play on the slate in terms of cash games. They cancelled the odds on Bovada for a reason. This should be -2000 today. I am taking a quick bloody safe win here.

Ucam Esports (-135) vs IHG (+105)

Looking into this matchup in terms of not being able to find too much on either of these teams gives off that this should be a fade spot. Looking at the region strength for anyone who would like to play, Poland had a strong showing last year at the EUM and I would give them the edge in this matchup. Spain isn’t a bad region by any means and Ucam is the best team coming out of Spain. Both of these teams would be on the lower end of the kill spectrum and I would expect IHG to come out with the win here but FADE.

RGO (-350) vs SSU (+250)

Rogue was one of the best teams last year at EUM making it to the end while the Energy pot wizards were one of the teams that played upset and put up some high kill matches in their games on the rift. I would expect Rogue to win here but I do think the betting odds tell a tale and that they should not be priced up as high as they are on DK. I like the upside that you have in taking SSU here and I expect them to be a very low owned upset pick if you want a gpp lineup with them in it. This is probably going to be a dog or pass spot for me and I am looking forward to watch this matchup. Take SSU but only for gpp shots here.

MSFP (-185) vs G2AR (+145)

I expect a lot of ownership to fall on G2 Artic here for the sole fact that they are associated with the G2 brand. Misfits Premier has a lot of talent that has already played professionally on the scene of the LEC main stage and some stars of the EUM 2020 with the likes of Woolite who I believe had a 21.0 KDA through his first 4 matches last year. I really like MSFP to take this matchup here and I would be Surprised if they were to lose this matchup against G2AR.

Summary

This slate is going to be highly variant since its day 1 and I cannot urge enough to play light tonight. I am looking forward to seeing the green tomorrow though. All of these are bo1 but you can still expect some high scoring matches and a high scoring slate. Join our discord where I will be to answer questions here, check out our other articles here.
