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 some EU Masters analysis.
Today, we have another six-match slate, all these matches are best of one so picking the right spots is very important and you'll not only need two winning stacks in your lineups but two high-scoring winners to cash.
Today I'll be providing my League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for this EU Masters slate on DraftKings only that locks at 11:00 PM on Thursday, August 27th, 2020. If you're not already, then make sure you follow me on Twitter @Hofferkid!
Samsung Morning Stars vs. So4 evolution
SMS has played well including an upset win over LDLC. I like So4e to win here, they are better than what they have shown so far. Sertuss holds a team-high 31% kill share to go along with a 66% kill participation. I like taking the JNG/MID duo here of Lurox and Sertuss. I will likely be looking towards a small stack here from Schalke.
The pick: So4 evolution
Top So4 plays:
- Sertuss - MID
- Lurox - JNG
- Sleeping - TOP
- Innaxe - ADC

K1CK vs. LDLC
This is one of the premier match-ups of the day, and I expect this to be a bloody one for whoever wins. I am going to take the underdogs in LDLC here at less ownership to bounce back and take down K1CK. A full-stack is definitely in play here on either side. I like the BOT lane of Exakick and Yellowstar. Tynx also holds a very high kill share for a jungler at 24%.
The pick: LDLC
Top LDLC Plays:
- Tynx - JNG
- Bando - TOP
- Exakick - ADC
- Yellowstar - SUP
Vodafone Giants vs. WL Gaming
Both these teams sit at 1-1 in their group. I like the Giants here, and this is another spot I want to full-stack. Attila holds a very good 70% kill participation as well as a 30% kill share. Lamabear is my next favorite option as he holds a 73% kill participation. I think the Giants won't be as owned as they should be and I definitely like this spot for them.
The pick: Vodafone Giants
Top VGIA plays:
- Attila - ADC
- Pretty - MID
- Lamabear - JNG
- Erdote - SUP
Misfits Premier vs. PT7
Misfits lead their group at 2-0, and I expect that to easily be 3-0 after this one. PT7 sits at 0-2 in group play and has not looked good at all as of late. Ronaldo holds an elite 74% kill participation and is a top play on the slate for me. From this game, I will either be taking a Ronaldo one-off or adding Kirei to make it a two-man.
The pick: Misfits Premier
Top MSFP plays:
- Ronaldo - MID
- Kirei - JNG
- Jezu - ADC
- Agresivoo - TOP
Movistar Riders vs. SUPP
Your safest bet on the day, the Movistar Riders. They will likely be chalky but I think they win easily, the problem is it may be too easy and limit their upside. Xico popped off for a 13 kill game against Gamer Legion yesterday, he is a great play here. The BOT lane of Javaaa and Rhuckz is definitely in play as well. The Riders will likely be chalky, a fade is risky but could reward nicely.
The pick: Movistar Riders
Top MRS plays:
- Xico - MID
- Elyoya - JNG
- Beansu - TOP
- Javaaa - ADC
GamerLegion vs. AGO Rogue
This match will dictate who gets second place in the group. I like Gamer Legion to win here. They should be low-owned as well which makes for some great GPP plays. Phones and Rabble make for a nice duo as they should be able to pull off several top-lane ganks here to get an early lead and snowball it from there. This game should be fairly bloody.
The pick: GamerLegion
Top Gamer Legion plays:
- Nite - MID
- Rabble - JNG
- Hjarnan - ADC
- Phones = TOP
Summary
1. MRS is your safest stack, but their kill upside worries me.
2. LDLC and GL are my favorite GPP stacks for higher kill totals and upside.
