RADIO
Hello, eSports fans, and welcome back to our continued eSports DFS coverage of League of Legends for DraftKings and FanDuel! I'm Billy (aka "the kid") Hoffer and I'm back with some more LPL analysis,
Tonight, we have a two-game slate with two matches in the LPL. As always, I am going to do my best to give you high-quality analysis and actionable advice for tomorrow morning's DFS slate. These two-gamers are tough, and you have to be willing to take some risks to avoid duplicating your lineup with everyone else.
Today I'll be providing my League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for this LPL slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 4:00 AM on Wednesday, March 10th, 2021. If you're not already, then make sure you follow me on Twitter @Hofferkid! Thanks for reading and let's get right into the picks!

LPL Matches
Rare Atom (-500) vs. Victory Five
RA is coming off their biggest win of the split in a 2-1 win over FPX. Meanwhile, V5 has been swept three matches in a row by the likes of LNG, SN, and JDG. Rare Atom has the better first turret rate, while V5 is better in the first blood department. RA has advantages in two of the three neutral objectives. RA is 8-3, but I am still not completely sold on them. I do not think this is a top-tier team in the LPL like their record suggests. I definitely will be looking to find my one-off from V5, as I think RA likely wins this one, 2-1. FoFo and Hang share the highest kill participation rates on this RA squad and are the two guys I would prioritize from the RA side.
The pick: Rare Atom, 2-1
Top RA plays:
- FoFo - MID
- Hang - SUP
- iBoy - ADC
- Cube - TOP
Suning (-1800) vs. Rogue Warriors
RW is bad, like really, really bad. They proved they are the worst team in the LPL when they were swept by OMG in their last match in an embarrassing display. Suning has won their last three matches, all in sweep fashion and I expect that streak to continue here. Suning has large leads in every statistic that matters. Suning should have no problem getting an early game lead and snowballing it as RW is the worst early game squad in the league holding an average -1500 gold differential at 15 minutes. Huanfeng is the top play on the slate in my opinion as he has a 70% kill participation and should rack up a ton of kills against an RW team that has been feeding opponents all split long. Don't get cute with this one, grab multiple pieces of Suning as they should score well.
The pick: Suning, 2-0
Top SN plays:
- Huanfeng - ADC
- Angel - MID
- ON - SUP
- Sofm - JNG

Summary
- Not many ways to go tonight, SN will be the chalk four-man and it's hard to get away from that.
- I think V5 is a live dog and do not mind taking a shot on them to be different.
- Anything can happen in the LPL, but the odds of an RW upset are small. Using any RW players carries a high risk since they have a very big chance of getting swept.
