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.

3/31 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome back to my 3/31 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown. We are now in playoffs for both leagues so expect tough matches in the coming days. Tonight we have a 2 day, 3 game slate between T1/DRX, HLE/NS, and IG/RA. Let’s dig into this slate

T1 (-750) vs DRX (+450)

Our first match of the playoffs and the first best of 5 series we have and I am looking to full send T1 here as they have been consistently playing their OG lineup with Canna, Cuzz, Faker, Teddy, and Keria. That is the best lineup they have and I am happy they are sticking with it consistently now. DRX is a middling team this split after losing their 3 main players in Chovy, Deft, and Keria. I expect them to put up a fight and possibly even take a game here but just as the last match between these two teams went I would take T1 to sweep here tonight. Faker is going to crush Solka tonight and it won’t be close. I like T1 for cash/gpp.

HLE (-550) vs NS (+325)

The second LCK match of the slate and one that has the ability to put out the kills in a win for HLE with the tendencies of NS in losses to feed the enemy team and int hard. Last time these two teams faced off HLE won 2-0 with a 32 kill series. Stats here give the advantages over the HLE and I expect them to continue with the key matchup that might be able to turn this series is Peanut vs YoHan. If Yohan doesn’t let Peanut get far ahead then it will be a set series and an easy 3-1 for HLE. I like HLE for cash games tonight but I do not like using them for GPP as their upside might be capped. HLE to win 3-1.

IG (-140) vs RA (+110)

Our last match over the two days and I expect this to be the highest scoring game on the slate. Big problem here is that we have absolutely no idea who is going to start at ADC for IG as they went back to Wink last match they had leaving it up to use to try to decide if that is going to be the switch come playoffs or it is going to be Puff to come back into the fray. Last time these teams faced off RA was able to pull of a 2-0 and it led to them putting up 32 kills for the win. I expect this to be a very close match and to possibly go all 5 games. I expect this to be a hedge spot tonight.

3/19 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome back to my 3/19 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown, sorry for the little time off guys, had midterms going on at school but I am back for tonight and excited to write up this slate. Tonight we have a 4 game slate including T1/DRX, AF/NS, JDG/LNG, and EDG/ES. We have a good looking 4 gamers tonight and I am excited to dig into it for all of you.

NS (-120) vs AF (-110)

The first match we have tonight and the closest on the slate according to Vegas. I can agree here and do see some value over on Draft kings when looking at AF as the odds are so close tonight. Both of these teams have been down recently, not playing well by any means. Looking through the stats in the matchup I am looking for AF to take over in the early game with their main problem being finishing in the late game. I expect them to have around a 2k advantage over around the 15 minute mark and I do not believe that NS hold enough of an advantage in the baron statistics to come back into this matchup. This will be a dog or pass spot for me and 4 AF could be a sneaky 4 stack tonight.

T1 (-250) vs DRX (+180)

Well, would you look at that. T1 started the OG lineup but with Keria and wow, they got to 2-0 GEN G with the lineup of Canna, Cuzz, Faker, Teddy, and Keria. T1 if they keep the same lineup should easily roll this matchup against DRX. DRX has an intruiging roster still and have not been the worst but also not the best team, T1 is also fighting for playoffs here so I would expect them to go for the old lineup for the win tonight. I like T1 but not for much other than their team spot or top laner. I do not see DRX having much of a chance here tonight so expect T1 to control this matchup and take home the win tonight.

EDG (-2000) vs Estar (+950)

Our first LPL match of the night and its a freebie everyone knows who will win this matchup, even Vegas has the odds that high. I think this is going to be a 2-0 tonight and on bovada the odds are -400 for a 2-0 and I like that personally. I am not too thrilled with their upside for tonight but I do like EDG to win 2-0 and be set for some small stacks tonight.

JDG (-800) vs LNG (+475)

Our last match of the night and one I am looking at to not be too low on the side of kills. Both of our LPL matchups tonight are going to be one-sided and there’s no difference here. JDG is the team that was just able to take down RNG with their incredible team fighting all around and I expect that to shine through tonight. If they are up their fighting will be flawless and if they are down they will be able to fight their way back. I absolutely love JDG tonight and they are my favorite 4 stack tonight and I will have as much of them as possible tonight.

Summary

JDG is my favorite 4 stack tonight and I absolutely love them as my main stacks on the night. After them, it would be EDG, T1, AF/NS. But I am trying to emphasize 4 stack JDG. For our other articles here at Win Daily click here, to join our discord click here. Let’s hit the green tonight.

3/13 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 3/13 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown where I am looking to rebound from last night’s slate and the hard hit Estar gave to us. We went 1/4 on picks yesterday which just wasn’t good enough for you guys so I am looking to rebound on tonight’s 5 gamer. Tonight is exciting as we have 5 games starting with Gen/T1, AF/BRO, BLG/RW, RA/IG, and TES/EDG. We have a slate full of options and I am excited to dig into it for you guys.

GEN (-230) vs T1 (+170)

The first match we have on the night and one I am liking to play here as a value stack as both teams are way too cheap in everything I am seeing so far. Last time these two teams stacked up GEN took down T1 in a 2-1 win. I am favoring Gen here to win and it depends on what lineup T1 rolls out tonight on how close this match will be. I am looking at Gen to be able to win any match here though but can go both a 2-1 or a 2-0. Stats are kind of an iffy thing to look at in a match like this but I believe that Gen holds the edge regardless due to their macro gameplay which allows them to hold the objective edge. I am taking a 2-1 here from GEN but would be alert for lineups, look for small stacks from GEN here tonight.

AF (-210) vs BRO (+165)

This will be the under owned match of the night and the one that seems to have the least upside on the night seemingly. Bro has been looking up recently as a team with them having upside through their bot lane with Hena playing much better recently in the bot lane as well. I am looking for a dog or pass spot here honestly as I believe a win here for AF would be low kills and a 2-1 which lends over to the belief that BRO will win with their better play recently. Yes they did just get 2-0’d by DWG but that is admittedly an understandable loss as DWG is once again looking as one of the best in the world. If AF take this it will be through their top/mid/jg as dread has been able to carry wins recently. Look for BRO to win 2-1 but would only do small stacks here.

BLG (-600) vs RW (+375)

The first LPL match of the night and one of my absolute favorites for upside, both teams have high ckpm’s even in the LPL and I expect this to be one of the pace up spots on the night with what I believe to be the worst team in the LPL in RW against one of the pace up spots in BLG. I am expecting this to be a high kill game and love it tonight as a 4 stack of BLG. One of the best plays on the slate and should project high just about everywhere. I love BLG here tonight and I will preach it again. BLG 2-0. 4 STACK TIME.

IG (-120) vs RA (-110)

This looks like another match that I am going to like tonight as it is projecting to be of higher kills again. In losses RA is one of those teams that tend to feed while IG is one of the most aggressive in the LPL and how they fight all throughout the game is something I expect to translate into a high kill match tonight. These are two of the best early game teams in the league and I expect that to show through. Looking through the stats we seem to have an early advantage for RA while IG takes over for the late game with their drake and baron takes. I am expecting IG to take this game and for XUN to show how he is the better player than Leyan to give them the jungle advantage while they also hold the bot lane along with mid. The closest part is top lane with the inter for IG but I would like to call it even. I will call this a hedge game due to IG’s nature of throwing but I would definitely hedge 4 stacks here in an IG 2-1.

EDG (-140) vs TES (+110)

Our last LPL match of the night and another one of my favorites. It is going to look like the best match of the night to watch as it is two of the best teams in the LPL facing off against each other. The early games favors heavily towards TES as they are at a 1400 gold difference over EDG before 15 minutes. EDG takes back over the stats with the drake takes with TES going back over to the Baron takes. I think this will be one of the closest matches of the slate and another spot to hedge on tonight’s slate as it is one of the better spots on the slate to watch. Going into individual matchups I give top lane over to EDG with Flandre, JG goes over towards EDG with Jiejie over Karsa. Mid lane goes to TES as Knight is one of the best in the world. Bot lane will be the most interesting part of the night with JKL against Viper with two of the best ADC’s in the LPL facing off. I am going to hedge this tonight and if you can I recommend watching this tonight.

Summary

Looking at a Gen 2-1, BRO 2-1, BLG 2-0, IG 2-1, TES 2-1. I am looking to take my small stacks from Gen/Bro or one of the LPL teams if I can get to them. For my 4 stacks I am looking to go for BLG, IG/RA (Hedge) and TES/EDG (Hedge). I like all of those as 4 stacks tonight and I am looking to look for multiple lines tonight.

3/12 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown

Welcome to my 3/12 LPL/LCK League of Legends Breakdown where I am looking to give you the best plays possible on tonight’s slate. I bit a bullet being against EDG last night but I am looking to bounce back tonight and hit the green with our 4 matches. Tonight we have KT/LSB, DRX/NS, ES/LGD, and FPX/TT. Let’s dig into these matches tonight and get some green for yall.

KT (-165) vs Sandbox (+125)

Our first match of the night and one I am looking at to possibly go low owned for the KT side. I am looking at the match and there is upside here for KT in a win as this projects out to be a bloodier LCK match. KT will play through their bot lane here along with Doran winning the top lane matchup over Summit. Sandbox scares me with Croco back into the lineup as I believe he is able to carry this Sandbox team and pressure Gideon early in the jungle. This is reflected through their stats as Sandbox has the early game with their gold dif at 15 being better but KT comes back roaring in the late game with their baron takes and better late game macro. I like KT to have a high kill series here and take it in 3 games because they are going to have to come back in these games. KT 2-1.

DRX (-180) vs NS (+140)

Our last LCK match of the night and I like DRX to win here as they have been the better team recently but these teams and their strengths line up outstandingly well. Both teams are good in the jungle with Pyosik and Peanut, mid lane goes over to DRX as Bay is straight terrible. Bot lane also lines up as both teams have strong ADC’s and decent supports. I expect the top and mid lane differences here though to stand out and give across advantages towards DRX as Kingen and Solka hold advantages over Rich and Bay. Stats give the slight edge to DRX in the early game which balloons into the late game for them. Give me a 2-0 from DRX here. Great value tonight.

LGD (-175) vs Estar (+135)

This is going to be the money match of the night as Estar is the team that allows you to pretty much get to whatever you want in your lineups. They are going to be the lineup glue tonight. With them getting Irma back as well I expect them to be one of the highest-owned teams tonight. Looking into matchups I am giving top as even between zs and cult. JG goes over to Estar with H4cker, Mid is even with Uniboy and Irma, and Bot lane is in favor of Estar with Rat and ShiauC over Kramer and Mark. I am taking an Estar 2-1 here.

FPX (-1800) vs TT (+800)

Last match of the night and its the freebie. FPX is the better team here and they are again going to roll over TT as they don’t even hold the advantage in the pivotal positions here, or any position. This should also translate to a higher kill environment for FPX. I expect them to win an easy 2-0 tonight and dominate their matchup against TT. Possibly a fade in GPP’s for the sake of it being too quick.

Summary

DRX 2-0, KT 2-0, ES 2-1, FPX 2-0. My favorite teams on tonight’s slate are FPX, KT, DRX, ES. I am playing a few lines tonight but for cash focusing DRX/FPX and for gpp ES/FPX.
