DraftKings LoL: Sunday LCS Cheat Sheet

DIG vs. EG

Dardoch pulled out the Karthus in Saturday's loss to TSM, which is a pick rising in popularity lately. It worked in the early game but TSM took over controlling the macro and bled DIG out in the mid-to-late game in the lowest-scoring matchup Saturday. Even though EG aren't TSM, I feel like the same strategy will be deployed here and EG will win. Bang carried the game EG played Friday, getting six kills against IMT, and EG should look to play around the bot lane again while Goldenglue controls the mid lane and strikes from range. If DIG's early game doesn't go well then EG should take the victory.

Prediction to Win: EG

• EB Players to Target: Huni ($6,400), Goldenglue ($7,400), Bang ($7,800)

C9 vs. TL

Cloud9 looked back into the first half of Summer split for we wanted to see from them against IMT, having a very clean game, and we saw Blaber pull out the Volibear and Vulcan using Morg, which were welcomed changes. A team that can adapt to the meta will always be relevant in competitive league. Here against TL, I expect the speed of the game to slow down since TL seem to be involved in lower kill games, even if there is a slight chance C9 make them change that. I like C9 to continue innovating and take their rightful spot at the top of the LCS.

Prediction to Win: Cloud 9

• C9 Players to Target: Everyone on C9

CLG vs. TSM

CLG looked absolutely abysmal against 100 Thieves on Saturday and seemed like all communication was lost during the 31-minute game where 100T recorded 20 kills. Even though TSM had a low-scoring game Saturday, the aggression and misplay from CLG could turn this one bloody in the favor of TSM. I expect TSM to come out and have a little bit of fun before taking the nexus. Doublelift leads the team in kills with 52 and currently has a kill participation of 63 percent, which is low for his team. Doublelift will need the kills Sunday to provide value in your lineup. Bjergsen, on the other hand, has a team-high 71 percent kill participation, so look for him to be heavily involved.   

Prediction to Win: TSM

• TSM Players to Target: Doublelift ($8,000) Bjergsen ($8,000)

GG vs. 100T

Both of these teams are hitting their strides coming into playoffs, and it should be an entertaining match to wrap up the weekend for League of Legends. This feels like a pick-your-poison type of match if you want to be involved here, but breaking it down by lanes, 100T have an advantage in the Top and bot lane while the Mid lane clearly goes to GG. Both of their aggressive junglers cancel each other out but whoever gets the early step on the other will be able to set its opponent behind. I still like 100 Thieves to take the match, with Ssumday leading the way with his 38 kills, the second highest on the team. Ryoma leads with 43, and even though he's in a tough matchup, he's worth the gamble. With the Jungle being so pivotal for both teams, Contractz will also add value to your 100T stacks since he has the highest kill participation of 76 percent. If Contractz backs up the weak point in the mid lane then 100T should win.

Prediction to Win: 100T

• 100T Players to Target: Ssumday ($5,800) (Contractz ($6,000), Ryoma ($6,800)
