This article is part of our DraftKings League of Legends series.
Games (EDT)
- 5:00 a.m. FunPlus Phoenix vs. LNG Esports
- 7:00 a.m. Rogue Warriors vs. Top Esports
LNG showed us nothing against Suning and let them roll over in both games. Rogue Warriors did get hot at the end of last split, but they are starting youdang and Ruby, decent enough players but not nearly to the level they need to defeat Top Esports. RW is an inconsistent coin-flippy team that can only beat you through weird drafts, and massive early aggression from every player. TES and FunPlus Phoenix should 2-0 their opponents Tuesday with ease just how they play the game and their players overall are mechanically better by a long stretch.
Lineup Constructions
- Now that Jackeylove is out of the starting lineup, TES is moving QuiQui into the ADC role, but he's technically listed as a support player on DraftKings. This means that their is one optimal way to construct your lineup, essentially forcing yourself to run double support from TES/FPX and then mix and match your players to differentiate yourself from the rest. This is almost a must in any sort of slate considering it's just a two-game slate.
- The RW/TES game is going to be the bloodiest one on this slate, and there is another way to grab four carries if you're willing to punt a position from the RW side if you believe they can steal a game off TES.
Substitution Risks
Khan (FPX), Youdang (RW), Ruby (RW),
Must Haves
Crisp $6000 (FPX), QuiQui $5600 (TES)

Final Thoughts
It's a chalky slate so play around with your "double support" lineup, especially if you are going to play in MME tournaments. Get exposure to as many player combinations as possible, sprinkle in some RW if they happened to come out swinging early.
