Welcome back to another League of Legends DFS fantasy slate! We have a 3 game slate here today, as OMG was forced to postpone some games due to a Covid outbreak.
Roster changes will be addressed if need be when mentioning each team. As a friendly reminder, if you can't stomach any sub risk or don't enjoy waking up early, then figure a way to roster players that don't hold any sub risk. The LCK is tricky when it comes to starting lineups, and we are usually given the LCK starting lineups about an hour or so before lock, for the first series. (@KorizonEsports on Twitter is a good lineup source, as well as @kenzi131) In this case, we probably won't get LCK lineups before the 2:00 AM lock, so we are going to try and project starters based on new additions. LPL starters are found earlier and on Twitter too.
I'll provide my League of Legends DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for this LPL & LCK slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 3:00 AM EST on Thursday, March 10th, 2022. If you have any questions about the slate or anything please reach out to me on Twitter @nolanroth10. I'll do my best to provide some useful analysis, and the odds listed are from Pinnacle. Let's jump right into the matchups, and good luck RotoBallers.

LCK Matches
3:00 AM: HLE (+115) vs. KT (-150)
KT comes into this matchup as the favorite but has dropped 6 straight series going a total of 1-12 in those games. Their last series win was back on February 18th. HLE comes in on a similar wavelength, dropping 6 of their last 7 series going 3-12 in those games. KT did 2-0 HLE back in January when the two teams faced off.
Looking at HLE, SamD and Karis are the two main plays. They combine for 56% of the KS for the team while both sit just under 70% KP. Support Vsta leads the team in KP at 71% and pairing him up with ADC SamD and MID Karis gives you a nice GPP stack.
With there being one less game than usual every game needs to be in play, typically I would avoid this game but that likely won't be the case today. I am going to play the ownership game and go with HLE but that doesn't mean KT doesn't have some good options tomorrow. Aiming, VicLa and Rascal are my top options for KT and I would add in Life if making them a 4 stack
Top HLE plays: SamD, Karis, Vsta
Top KT plays: Aiming, VicLa, Rascal, Life

5:00 AM: BRO (+) vs. LSB (-)
I have been waiting to get odds on this game all day, but as of writing this, they are yet to be released. Based on the pricing on DraftKings BRO is the favorite in this matchup and I agree. Anytime a team is playing LSB they are in play.
For BRO Lava is the clear-cut top play. He carries a 74.2% KP and 30.7% KS. After Lava, I would look towards the bot lane duo of Hena and Delight. I would round it off with UmTi in 4 man stacks
Should you decide to target LSB on this slate I would look towards Clozer Croco and Dove. In the last matchup, they swapped ADC's mid-series so I would steer clear of both with much better adc options on this slate.
Top BRO plays: Lava, Hena, Delight, UmTi
Top LSB plays: Clozer, Croco, Dove
LPL Matches
6:00 AM: IG (-220) vs. WE (+165)
I called the AL upset over IG last week and I am going right back to it with a WE upset tomorrow.
IG went 2-3 in matches in February after going 1-4 in January, this was a team I was expecting more out of but they have underdelivered all year.
WE have made some lineup adjustments throughout the split, but have been operating with a lineup of Biubiu, Beishang, Xiye, Xing, and Kedaya recently. Xiye is where you want to start as has an 83.5% KP and 32% KS in his 8 games this split. Every player is viable here and is a great GPP play as IG could be popular on a 3 game slate.
Top WE plays: Xiye, Xing, Kedaya, Biubiu, Beishang

Summary
- TLDR: HLE and WE pull off the upsets,
- GPP Stacks: My favorite combinations for GPP stacks are HLE/BRO/WE
- Cash Stacks: not a great cash slate but I guess BRO with KT if you see KT winning. I would go BRO/WE but better built for GPP.
Good luck tomorrow RotoBallers!
