League of Legends LoL DFS: Ghost’s NEST Breakdown for 11/22 DFSGhost 3 years ago written by DFSGhost As we await the beginning of the 2021 splits, there is some League of Legends (LoL) action in the DraftKings lobby as LPL teams face off in the NEST tournament. For those that haven’t realized already, this tournament is unranked, meaning teams have been mixing in new starting lineups, using plenty of substitutes, and players we have no seen before – what this means is normal favorites, such as, say, any team versus BLG, is not as automatic in this tournament considering these are scrims; scrims are when these teams get together for unranked matches to prepare for the upcoming split – think of it as not only NBA or NFL preseason, rather it is more as if two teams got together just to play a scrimmage for fun before preseason even begins. There are still big prizes to be won, so let’s get to it:LoL Matchup #1: EDG (-120 PK) vs FPX (-120 PK)EDG showed a lot of upside in their last game with strong play from JieJie in the jungle and 0909 controlling mid lane. Unless Crisp plays for FPX, I’ll side with EDG to take down Lwx and co.; EDG holds most of the lane advantages and should be able to ride that out to victory,Pick: EDG (-120 PK)LoL Matchup #2: Rogue Warriors (+175) vs Vici Gaming (-250)Not as much of a surprise to see RW and VG make it to the LoL NEST Finals considering they’re essentially the only times running their projected starting lineups for the upcoming splits; given that most people will likely be on VG and hedge the first game, I prefer to take the upside of RW in team fights, especially Youdang and ZWuji who can hold lane advantages over Aix and iBoy. Whichever side you end up stacking, this is the matchup where your 4-man stack should be coming from.Pick: RW (+175)You can find me in the WinDaily Discord chat and on twitter @DFS_Ghost! 3 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

However, if we’re taking a stand, it starts right here with VG defeating the reigning runner-up at the 2020 Worlds. Rolling out the lineup that we should see in this year’s upcoming splits versus a Suning squad that has no regular starters is pretty hard to pass up; Cube is the guy that interests me the most here, as he should have a field day with View in top lane.Pick: VG (-450)LoL Matchup #2: Rogue Warriors (+110) vs FunPlux Phoenix (-150)PositionRWFPXTOPBoWenXiao7JNGYoudangYouxinMIDWumingInsulatorADCZWujiLwxSUPLeyShenyiThe second of two matches is where we can get different. Despite being a favorite in this game, we’ve said it time and time again that Vegas odds for eSports are not necessarily as indicative as for traditional sports just yet, and while I thought RNG should not have been a favorite yesterday versus FPX, I don’t think they should be here versus RW. What we saw on Map 1 of 3 from FPX in their series yesterday versus RNG was truly was truly a remarkable comeback – but RW plays much more aggressively than RNG and won’t let that occur versus them here. ZWuji will have his hands full with Lwx, but with Crisp projected to be out with an illness, the bot lane duo of will be able to hold their own and ride out lane advantages in the mid and jungle to victory here. If you’re hedging a game, it’s this one, which should also be your 4-man stack.Pick: RW (+110)You can find me in the WinDaily Discord chat and on twitter @DFS_Ghost! 3 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

There are still big prizes to be won, so let’s get to it:LoL Matchup #1: RNG (-138) vs FPX (+100)The first matchup of the slate is a true coin flip. FPX will be without star MID, Doinb, but we’ll see the strong bot lane of FPX with both LWX and Crisp starting. Lele has been surprinsgly active for an RNG side that has fully moved from Betty to GALA at the AD carry position, but I side with FPX in the bot lane. In the mid lane, we all saw what a force Cryin was with eStar, but he is still adjusting to play ever since he rejoined RNG and is a potential sub candidate with Xiaohu stepping aside for this one. Fellow starters New (TOP) and XLB (JNG) take the rift for RNG, while FPX will be without both Tian and a top laner considering both GimGoon and Khan have moved on in free agency. I’ll side with RNG for a 2-1 victory, but will have plenty of FPX due to the combination and upside of the bot lane duo of LWX and Crisp.RNG: New, XLB, Cryin, GALA, LeleFPX: xiao7, Youxin, Insulator, LWX, CrispLoL Matchup #2: RW (-250) vs LGD Gaming (+175)This is one game where I will not be having exposure to both sides; RW has starting 4 regular starters religiously throughout the tournament, and nothing has changed here today. With Youdang (JNG), Wuming (MID), ZWuji (ADC) and Ley (SUP) all set to hit the rift for the Warriors, there is no reason to think LGD takes this one other than purely hedging or going for a low owned stack in a large field tournament. Nearing the top of the LPL for consecutive splits in kills per map and deaths per map, RW games are wildly entertaining – and great for DFS. They’re pricey, but well worth the 4-man stack.Pick: RW (-250)Starters: BoWen, Youdang, Wuming, ZWuji, LeyLoL Matchup #3: Team WE (-175) vs EDG (+125)The third matchup sees another entertaining LPL squad in Team WE taking on EDG. The former will be without their star jungler, beishang, where frigid is projected to start for the favorite. On the flipside, EDG’s lineup remains in question, so make sure to pop in discord for updates. Ultimately, I’ll side with WE here simply because they have the best player on the rift in Jiumeng (ADC) and the formidable bot lane duo he makes with Missing (SUP). While BBD has shown flashes of upside as an AD carry, there’s too much uncertainty in this lineup for me to trust it on such a variable slate – Shanks is the real deal in the mid lane and is the future of the team, so he, along with the bot lane duo mentioned, as the priority for me here.Pick: Team WE (-175)Starters: Coten, frigid, Shanks, Jiumeng, MissingEDG: xiaoxiang, JieJie, ___, BBD, ___You can find me in the WinDaily Discord chat and on twitter @DFS_Ghost! 3 years ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
