DraftKings LoL: Sunday LPL/LCK Cheat Sheet

DraftKings LoL: Sunday LPL/LCK Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our DraftKings League of Legends series.

GAMES (EDT)

  • 2:00 a.m: T1 vs. Hanwha Life eSports
  • 2:00 a.m: eStar vs. Dominus eSports
  • 4:00 a.m: APK Prince vs. Sandbox Gaming
  • 4:00 a.m: Top eSports v. OMG
  • 5:30 a.m: KT Rolster vs. Afreeca Freecs
  • 5:30 a.m: Royal Never Gaming vs. Edward Gaming

LPL - eStar (8-1) vs. DMO (2-6)

This game is very lopsided because DMO has no objective control and that's how eStar beats you. They bring the fight over to them, which provides an advantage because they are already set up and ready to fight. DMO loves to fight and this will be a blood bath.

Prediction: eStar 2-0

Bets: None

eStar Players to Target: WEI (JNG $7,800), Cryin (MID $8,600), Wink (ADC $8,800), ShiauC (SUP $6,200)

LPL - OMG (5-3) vs. TES (5-3)

This is going to be a solid game between two good teams in the LPL. OMG are a team that reminds me of TSM because they have good players but lack some upside compared to others; they seem to be stale in their drafts and game plan. We saw this after winning Game 1 against FPX and after that they got smashed. TES are a team with a star-studded lineup, and even with the hiccups early on, we are finally seeing them play the way I think they should. This team will continue to get better, and Photic will be the key to this team success.

Prediction: TES 2-1

Bets: None

TES Players to Target: Karsa (JNG $7,200), Knight (MID $8,200), Photic (ADC

LPL - RNG (4-3) vs. EDG (4-3)

EDG's last series was against VG, and they were carried by the solo laner of scout and Aodi. This team has been performing very well without their two main starters, and I believe this is a spot where they will fall. RNG had a massive slump with XLB under-performing, and it seemed like he had been figured out by other teams. The last series against RNG looked like they figured what was going on with their little cold streak. They figured out how to start protecting XLB better while improving his pathing around the map. That being said, RNG still have one  of the better solo laners in the league, and they will be too much against EDG.

Prediction: RNG 2-0

Bets: None

RNG Players to Target: LangX (TOP $7,000), Xiaohu (MID $7,800), Betty (ADC $8,200), Ming (SUP $5,600), RNG (Team $5,600)

LCK - T1 (9-2) vs. HLE (4-7)

This is a stay-away game from a fantasy spot because I think T1 is going to smash. HLE finally showed their true colors against KT, and their upside is very limited against one of the better teams. T1's map control has been amazing after the break, and they made DragonX look really bad. 

Prediction: T1 2-0

Bets: None

T1 Players to Target: Teddy (ADC $7,800), T1 (TEAM $5,800)

LCK - APK (2-9) vs. SB (4-7)

This could be another bloody game, as the kill spread for every APK game has been around 6.5 because all they want to do is fight. For some reason they can win team fights but can't capitalize on other teams' mistakes. SB has looked good with their new roster, and they seem to be understanding how to snowball teams after their early game plan. I don't think APK will win, but this could be a sneaky spot for a DFS gold mine in the LCK.

Prediction: SB 2-0

Bets: None

SB Players to Target: Lonely (TOP $6,800), Dove (MID $7,200), Route (ADC $7,400), Gorilla (SUP $4,800), SB (TEAM $5,400)

LCK - KT (6-5) vs. AF (6-5)

The last game of the LCK is between two teams trending in opposite directions, which if you told me would be the case at the start of the season, I wouldn't believe it. AF lost to one of the worst teams a few days ago by draft, and while they put up a great fight against GenG in Game 1, they were all over the place in game 2. I can tell there are some internal conflicts within the team because they are too good to be losing games like this. I really like KT to come out and continue their hot streak. I think their leadership and mid to late game level of play is what's going to propel them. They are too clean to deal with the sloppiness of AF early game, and not only is this is a live dog, it's also a good spot for DFS because if AF wants to win they will need to engage harder to stop KT from scaling.

Prediction: KT 2-1

Bets: KT ML (+120)

KT Players to Target: SoHwan (Top $4,600), Aiming (ADC $7,000), Tusin (SUP $4,400), KT (TEAM $4,600)

STACKS TO CONSIDER

  • Cash: TES/RNG, TES/eStar, SB/eStar
  • GPP: KT/eStar, KT/RNG, TES/SB
  • My Stacks: KT/eStar, TES/eStar, TES/SB
