DraftKings LoL: Tuesday LPL Cheat Sheet

GAMES (EDT)

• 3:00 a.m: Rogue Warriors vs. JD Gaming
• 5:00 a.m: Vici Gaming vs. Suning
• 6:30 a.m: LGD Gaming vs. Bilibili Gaming

RW (6-7) vs. JDG (9-4)

RW are coming off some impressive wins the last couple of series, and this is going to be one of their most challenging game yet. We saw all the favorites take care of business Sunday, and I can see that continuing as we head into the end of the season. Haro and Zwuji are the two most important players on this team, and if one falls off then they are going to lose. Haro is definitely playing out of his mind, but the jungle difference between him and Kanavi is quite large. Kanavi is leading all junglers in every category, including kills per minute, damage per minute and gold per minute, and this has a huge influence on the entire team. JDG has been playing cleanly since Zoom came back, and I see them smashing in this spot. Side note: they tweeted at Rogue Warriors saying that they are going to stop them from making playoffs, so we know they will be trying.

Prediction: JDG 2-0

Bets: None

JDG Players to Target: Zoom (TOP $6,600), Kanavi (JNG $7,400), Yagao (MID $7,600)

VG (6-8) vs. SN (5-9)

The last game SN won was against V5, and since then they dropped games to a really bad OMG and punted a game against DMO. They still have the same problems against the clean teams, as they cant play any other League of Legends aside from the funneling method. That doesn't work well in this meta, and especially on a clean team such as VG, who showed the capability of punching up against FPX and are still fighting for a playoff spot. VG are playing some of the cleanest League of Legends now, but the one thing that could cause them to lose is if they get greedy during team fights and start forcing them onto SN because SN's KP% are still good and all they want to do is fight. VG needs to choke out SN from the start and forcing objectives and manipulating the map so SN can't be forced to funnel resources on Huanfeng.

Prediction: VG 2-1

Bets: None

VG Players to Target: Cube (TOP $6,800), Forge (MID $7,400), iBoy (ADC $7,600)

BLG (5-9) vs. LGD (5-7)

LGD are on a three-game win streak, smashing all three, as they continue competing for a playoff spot. The only real team that stood out was RNG, and even so, they didn't really make a big statement. BLG were the same way until they ran into IG and had a blood bath of a battle. I know I was in FADE BLG mode, but this is a good spot for them to bounce back. LGD have cleaned up their late game, which is a good sign, though some of their recent games were against teams that weren't willing to split push and concentrated on the laning phase. When teams are focused heavily on laning phase and setting up around the map, that is when Peanut is at his best because of how aggressive he has been. BLG showed during the IG game that they can play the side lanes early and force bottom or top side, depending on where they want to play. In their last game they got Kingen ahead and were able to shut down TheShy and snowball a team that had an 8K gold lead 15 minutes in. BLG need to continue this trend of early game manipulation in order to win. Additionally, they need to shut down LGD early before the game gets out of hand, with JinJiao kiting the other team away during team fights to give guys like Kingen and Fofo a chance to do the damage.

Prediction: BLG 2-0

Bets: BLG ML (+105)

BLG Players to Target: Meteor (JNG $6,400), Fofo (MID $7,000), JinJiao (ADC $7,400), Xinmo (SUP $5,000)
