DraftKings LoL: Monday LPL Cheat Sheet

GAMES (EDT)

• 2:00 a.m: Suning vs. Victory Five
• 4:00 a.m: OMG v. Vici Gaming
• 5:30 a.m: Top esports vs. Rogue Warriors

SN (4-9) vs. V5 (0-11)

I was looking really hard at this game since SN has looked really bad lately compared to what we saw earlier in the split. Looking at V5's numbers, they are dead last in every category, and while they have looked a little better in recent matches, they seem to lose everything in the mid to late game, which is when SN loves to play in. If V5 can clear up a lot of their hiccups and have a sense of direction in their mid to late game, they could actually take out SN, which intrigues me a little in GPPs. I would target this game either way, as this should be a blood bath. 

Prediction: SN 2-1

Bets: V5 +1.5 (+125)

SN Players to Target: Sofm (JNG $7,400), Huanfeng (ADC $8,200), Swordart (SUP $6,000)

V5 Players to Target: Xiaohan (JNG $5,800), y4 (ADC $6,400), Max (SUP $4,600)

VG (4-6) vs. OMG (5-5)

OMG had one game last week after going through a gauntlet of top teams in FPX, TES and iG. This roster looked good in every Game 1, and then it seem like they just fell off in Game 2 and just got outclassed. It's not like OMG are bad, it's just that the top teams are exceptionally good at adapting game by game while OMG are still trying to work things out as a team. VG, on the other hand, didn't really play anyone good besides Estar, but we were all over the day Estar finally folded. VG are a one-dimensional team, as they are playing by the books, and it has been working against other one-dimensional teams because they choke you out from mid to late game. OMG outrank VG in every objective rate, combined kills per minute and KDA, as this team just knows how to team fight and do it very well. This is where VG has been struggling because iBoy is a high-risk, high-reward player who can be easily punished, but if he can sit in the backline and kite away, he is unstoppable. 

Prediction: OMG 2-1

Bets: None

OMG Players to Target: Curse (TOP $5,800), Smlz (ADC $6,800), Cold (SUP $4,400)

RW (4-6) vs. TES (7-3)

I was going to dig deeper into this game as well until I realized that TES has a major jungle difference in this matchup. To be fair, they have a heavy top lane advantage where punishing Rogue Warriors is very easy unless they put Haro on Olaf and mitigate Karsa's pathing. TES has a 53 percent dragon rate, their KDA is top-five in the league, and they have covered their kill spread against every mid-to-bottom table teams. I do give RW a bot lane advantage, as Zwuji can carry a game anytime, and if this was the old TES who didn't draft for Photic, I would put some shares into RW. TES are another origin and too clean to lose against a wildcard team, and they should be able to punish whatever RW has to throw at them. If Jackeylove was starting the only analysis here would have been "Jackeylove is starting, move on."

Prediction: TES 2-0

Bets: None

TES Players to Target: 369 (TOP $6,800),  Karsa (JNG $7,200), Knight (MID $8,000)
