Hello, eSports enthusiasts, and welcome back to our continued eSports DFS coverage of League of Legends for DraftKings and FanDuel! I'm Billy (aka "the kid") Hoffer and I'm back with more LPL/LCS analysis!
Tonight, we have a two-match slate - one match in the LPL and one in the LCS. These matches are BEST OF FIVE so expect some higher scores across the board.
Today I'll be providing my League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for this LCS/LPL slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 5:00 AM on Friday, August 14th, 2020. If you're not already, then make sure you follow me on Twitter @Hofferkid!
LGD Gaming (-165) vs. Team WE
Round one of the LPL playoffs should be a bloody one. LGD has slight advatages in both the first turret and first blood percentages. WE holds the edge in dragon and herald control, with LGD having better baron rates. WE and patch 10.15 just don't go well together, especially for Teacherma. I think Xiye has a huge MID lane advantage in this one. I expect its match to go four or five games, I will take LGD here, 3-2. the BOT lane duo of Kramer/Mark dominated WE last time they met a few weeks ago, and I look for that to be one of the win conditions here for LGD. LGD has the most upside on the slate in my opinion and I look to load up on them here.
The pick: LGD, 3-2
Top LGD plays:
- Xiye - MID
- Kramer - ADC
- Peanut - JNG
- Mark - SUP
Top WE plays:
- Beishang - JNG
- Jiumeng - ADC
- Missing - SUP
- Teacherma - MID

Flyquest (-135) vs. Evil Geniuses (-105)
The spread here indicates a very close match, but to be honest, I don't see it being that way. FQ has a better first blood rate, with EG holding the better first turret percentage. FQ has better dragon and baron control, with herald control being even between the two squads. FQ also holds a slight vision advantage.
In my opinion, FQ should dominate this one through the TOP and MID lane. I expect them to take this series 3-1. Solo is my favorite TOP laner on the entire slate. The JNG/MID duo of Santorin and PowerOfEvil is very intriguing as well. Santorin sports an elite kill participation of 78%. I'll confidently take FQ here, and I believe a four-man stack could be contrarian, but also has a chance to be chalky because of the risk in the LPL match. Solo and PowerOfEvil are near locks for me here.
Top FQ Plays:
- PowerOfEvil - MID
- Solo - TOP
- Santorin - JNG
- IgNar - SUP
Summary
- WE/LGD should most definitely be the bloodier series. I think the ownership is split in that one and would recommend getting your bigger stack from this series.
- I think FQ has the potential to sweep here, that would be the only way I see them outscoring the winner of WE/LGD. The double MID duo of Xiye and PowerofEvil is one of my favorites on the slate.
