DraftKings LoL: Saturday Cheat Sheet
Misfits will have a big test in front of them facing off against G2, while a series between UoL and H2K highlights Saturday action. I think G2 will beat Misfits, whether its 2-0 or 2-1, but a game stack of UoL and H2K is where I'm going to be focusing my lineup on Saturday. This should be a tightly contested series, with plenty of opportunities for each team to score points.
Top Lane: Odoamne (H2K vs. UoL, $6,700)/Vizicsacsi (UoL vs. H2K, $5,800)
Both top laners are rocks for their respective teams and both are quite cheap on Saturday. Vizicsacsi leads EU LCS top laners in kills, while Odoamne leads in assists. Both are highly involved in their team's kills and there should be plenty to go around in a close series.
Jungle: Jankos (H2K vs. UoL, $6,500)/Xerxe (UoL vs. H2K, $5,500)
Jankos leads the LCS in kills from the jungle role. He's the first blood king, he's extremely smart in his pathing, he's heavily involved in getting H2K ahead. Xerxe has looked excellent in his debut in the EU LCS, being a big part of UoL's hot start. He leads EU LCS junglers with a 8.0 KDA and is very cheap. These two are the top players in their role in damage percentage as both are a big reason why their teams succeed.
Middle Lane: Febiven (H2K vs. UoL, $7,400)
Febiven helped H2K dominate Week 1 and leads European mid laners in assists (28) and KDA (10.4). Exileh is in the bottom half of damage percentage among EU mid laners and I like Febiven overall as a player much more than the UoL mid laner. Perkz is also in a good spot, but I'm using my G2 exposure elsewhere.
ADC: Zven (G2 vs. MSF, $8,000
$8,000 is a lot to pay for ADC's in the current meta, but I believe in Zven. He's first in kills (21), second in assists (30) and leads EU marksmen with a 12.8 KDA. I don't really like Samux or Nuclear, so I'm getting my non UoL/H2K exposure from G2's ace in the bottom lane.
Support: Hylissang (UoL vs. H2K, $4,800)
Much like Vizicsacsi, Hylissang is part of the UoL core being a member of the team for years now. He's an under appreciated support and is cheaply priced in this closely contested matchup. He has opportunities to pick up plenty of assists as long as the teams don't play too passively.
Team: H2K vs. UoL ($5,100)
While I think this series will be close, I expect a 2-1 win for H2K. Either way, they love objectives and always make sense to use as your team. There should be plenty of objectives to go around in this series, so using UoL isn't out of the question either.
