LCK Matches

LSB vs. DWG (-285)

AF vs. NS (-130)

 

LPL Matches

RNG (-170) vs. LGD

FPX (-450) vs. BLG

 

CAPTAIN/STAR

Kramer- LGD: Kramer leads LGD in kills this split. In his last two matches, we haven't seen him put up captain level points, but I am buying the bounce back series against a struggling RNG. He is also extremely cheap as RNG are favoured in this series. Playing Kramer at captain allows you to build your lineup any way you like.

Lwx - FPX: Lwx has been lacking the kill totals you want to see from and ADC however, this series should feature plenty of fighting and Lwx should have plenty of chances to add to his kill total. Lwx has the second highest damage share on his team so all it will take is for him to finish off a few more kills than he has been and he has a monster total.

 

TOP

Nuguri - FPX: Nuguri is an easy choice in the top lane on this slate. He has a 25.7% kill share and has a massive champion pool to go with his 82% counter pick rate. This should be a relatively easy lane for Nuguri.

Khan - DWG: Khan is coming off a great series against Gen.G and will be looking to carry that into tomorrows games. I very much prefer Nuguri on this slate but if looking for a one-off play somewhere Khan is worth considering.

JUNGLE

Shad0w- LDG: Shad0w has been very consistent this split and is averaging 82.9 DK points. He carries a 78.2% kill participation so you know he is going to be involved in the kills for LDG. This series against RNG will feature plenty of fighting which is exactly what we are hoping for.

Tian- FPX: FPX is going to be a popular stack on this slate, but if you think RNG takes down LDG, Tian is the jungler I would use. He is much cheaper on FD compared to DK so take that into consideration when deciding where to use him however, you can likely fit him in on either site.

 

MID

DoinB - FPX: DoinB leads FPX in kills this split and while that is somewhat of a surprise you can not argue with results. He has a 30.9% kill share along with a 71.3% kill participation. He put up an absurd 142.16 DK points in their last win against RNG so the upside of a massive total is always lurking.

Xiye - LGD: Xiye is second in kills to Kramer on LGD with 86. Xiye, Kramer and Shadow are the players you want to roster for LDG if you think they take down RNG. He is fresh off a 14/1/19 stat line in a 2-0 sweep. Look for

 

ADC

Kramer - LDG: Take a look at Kramer here if he isn't in your captain spot.

Lwx - FPX: Same goes for Lwx he should be in your ADC spot if he doesn't occupy your captain slot.

Deokdam - NS: NS has some sneaky upside on this slate. AF are an early scrappy type of team and that can lead to some major kill totals in games. Deokdamn leads NS in kills and if feeling a little risky on this slate this is where I would go.

 

SUPPORT

Crisp - FPX: Crisp should be strongly considered in any lineup with Lwx. He is averaging 10.4 K+A per game and has hit the 10 assist bonus in 9 games so far this split.

Kellin - NS: Much of what was said about Deokdam applies to Kellin here. I like to pair ADC and Support in my lineups. I suspect both Kellin and Deokdamn will come with low ownership so a big performance could put you in a great position on this slate.

 

TEAM

FPX: FPX is the biggest favourite on the slate. If you aren't playing four FPX players and have the salary left in the team slot they are a solid choice.

DWG: The team slot is often a good spot to roster the LCK teams. Their players often don't have the same upside as the LPL teams as the games usually feature lower kill totals. However, kills do not matter in the team slot and DWG is the second-largest favourite on the slate. On this slate, you can afford to pay up for the top teams so there is e team slot. GEN should dominate this series.

 

FINAL THOUGHTS

FPX will likely be the chalk team on this slate, so take that into consideration when putting your lineups together. NS has some sneaky upside but they still carry some risk I would still limit my exposure to them but they are worth putting in a few lineups. I see LNG winning against RNG however, RNG is absolutely worth playing if you think they win. Gala and Wei would be my top two choices for RNG. As always reach out to me on Twitter if you have any questions.

That's it, for now, Summoners, good luck tomorrow!
