DraftKings LoL: Thursday Cheat Sheet

Week Three starts Thursday in Europe with some choice matchups. G2 vs. H2K is the big ticket game of the day, but there are a few important contests including Schalke 04 vs. Fnatic, ROCCAT vs. Origen, and Vitality vs. UoL. Splyce vs. Giants may be the forgotten matchup, but could end up being a good series as well. On paper I'd guess we see a lot of draws on Thursday, but we don't know until they get on the Rift.

Top Lane: Odoamne (G2 vs. H2K, $6,100)

Odoamne is matchup proof and even though G2 are a dominant European team, they'll be featuring their new top laner Expect in this premiere matchup. It's not like H2K are slouches in their own right and Odoamne is always a solid option, especially at this cheap price.

Jungle: Trick (G2 vs. H2K , $6,100)

There is no jungler over $7,000 today which creates a ton of value to choose from. But as I've often said, Trick is a must play when he is this cheap. I think that Jankos at $5,800 in this same game is also an excellent option, as well as Spirit at the top of the price range.

Middle Lane: Betsy (ROC vs. OG, $7,200)

ROCCAT have been the upstart team of the split and Betsy has been a big reason why. He was the only carry option for ROCCAT in the Spring, but with Steeelback now in the bottom lane ROCCAT have become a two headed monster. Origen are still looking for consistency and the lane matchup against PowerOfEvil isn't exactly a scary one.

ADC: Steeelback (ROC vs. OG, $7,300)

Steeelback remains hot coming off his excellent Summer Split with UoL. He's been consistent despite the switch to ROCCAT, partnering with Betsy to give the team two legitimate carries. Facing off against Origen with xPeke in the bottom lane doesn't give me much hesitation about using Steeelback today.

Support: Raise (ROC vs. OG, $5,400)

With so much value on the board today across other roles, you can pay up a bit more than usual at support. I like ROCCAT to take down Origen today and Raise should be in line for two games with 10+ assists.

Team: ROCCAT vs. OG ($4,900)

Once again I think ROCCAT will 2-0 Origen today. With value elsewhere I had enough money left to put ROCCAT into my lineup.
