Hello, eSports enthusiasts, and welcome back to our continued eSports DFS coverage of League of Legends for DraftKings and FanDuel! We have no LCK games for this slate so it will just be a two-game LPL slate.
My name is Billy Hoffer and I'm really excited to be making my debut as an eSports analyst here at Rotoballer this week. I'm a big fan of LOL, CSGO, and COD and have been a DFS grinder for some time now. I realize I have some big shoes to fill as I fill in for the esteemed Mr. Malmanger with these LPL and LCK picks, but I am going to do my best to give you high-quality analysis and actionable advice for tomorrow morning's DFS slate.
I'll be providing my League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for this LPL slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 5:00 AM on Monday, July 13th, 2020. Make sure you follow me on Twitter @Hofferkid!
LPL Matches
Top Esports (-450) vs. Victory Five
This is a battle between the top two teams in the LPL standings. TES comes in at 8-0, while V5 has been the surprise of the summer split thus far at 7-2. First turret as well as first blood percentage favor TES. Dragon and baron rates also favor TES, with herald rates being even between the two squads. Vision is also about equal between these two. V5 has been nothing short of spectacular so far this split, but TES is the best team in the world. They will probably drop a game at some point but I do not see that being tonight.
I'm expecting a pretty bloody series here, and I like getting your three to four man stack from this game. 369 probably has the best individual lane match-up in this game and he should be a lock in all formats. I do think V5 is somewhat of a live dog and stacking them up gives a ton of leverage and upside. But at the end of the day i'm going to predict a TES sweep, 2-0.
The pick: TES 2-0
Top TES plays:
- knight - MID
- Jackeylove - ADC
- 369 -TOP
- Yuyanjia - SUP
Suning Gaming (-215) vs. Bilibili Gaming
Suning comes into this one at 6-3 and fifth in the LPL, while BLG sits at 3-5 and 11th in the LPL. I'll start this off by saying I am almost always a huge Suning fan and definitely have a man crush on huanfeng.
But it's a two game slate tonight, BLG has been playing a lot better as of late and the MID/JNG duo of Meteor and Fofo has looked great. Suning has the first turret advantage, while BLG has a better first blood percentage. Suning hold a dragon and baron advantage and BLG has a better herald rate. This should be a close one and i'm expecting Suning to be the chalkier option to pair with TES. I'll take BLG to win here 2-1. I think Meteor can own the jungle match-up against Sofm. As well as find potential gank opportunities early on with Bin not being afraid to overstep. The only lane that has me concerned here is the BOT lane.
I give Huanfeng/SwordArt an edge over Wings/Xinmo. I expect BLG to be able to overcome that one weak point and take this one in three games. I like making them your small stack with TES. But if you want to be different, stacking a three to four man from this game will definitely be contrarian.
The pick: BLG 2-1
Top BLG plays:
- Fofo - MID
- Meteor - JNG
- Wings - ADC
- Xinmo - SUP
Summary
- BLG is my leverage spot, i'll have them in every format
- On FD where you need a third team, I do not mind taking a shot on a V5 as they do have a chance to take a game. A one off from BLG/SN is probably the "safer" but also chalkier option.
- Fofo will be the slate’s highest scorer (Risky!!)
- On a two game slate i'll never just recommend two favorites unless they are both obvious. Everyone and their grandmother will likely have TES/SN tonight
