This article is part of our DraftKings League of Legends series.
GAMES (EDT)
- 4:00 a.m: LGD Gaming vs. Dominus Esports
- 6:00 a.m: OMG vs. Top Esports
DraftKings made it really hard to do any type of roster construction for tomorrow. The pricing is so close between the two favored teams that they are forcing you to construct two chalk lineup builds. The only way to get contrarian is if you go for an underdog or one-off to differentiate your lineup.
LGD vs. DMO
DMO looked better against eStar, but this is a scenario where LGD players outclass DMO. There is a small chance that DMO can win, especially after what we saw Monday with BLG. LGD hasn't been that aggressive this year in the early game, as their first blood rate dropped eight percent, but their first turret and dragon percentage increased. If LGD get on the back foot early they can look awful at times, but they are really good when it comes to late game. If DMO want to win they will have to do something crazy early game before LGD scale and take over. Even if that happens, LGD are a clean team with playoff-caliber players to let DMO run all over them. This should be a bloody game if DMO comes out fighting.
Prediction: LGD 2-0
LGD Players to Target: Kramer ($7,600), Xiye ($7,400), Peanut ($7,200)
OMG vs. TES
TES is the best team in the LPL, and they showed us how good they are in the stomp of JDG. This team is miles ahead of any

OMG vs. TES
TES is the best team in the LPL, and they showed us how good they are in the stomp of JDG. This team is miles ahead of any team in the world, and this is a nightmare for OMG, who are bottom of the barrel in every category and are going to get crushed. This is a game that will make a full-stack of TES the optimal play.
Prediction: TES 2-0
TES players to Target: Everyone
