LCS DFS Picks for 6/14/20 - League of Legends Daily Fantasy for DraftKings, FanDuel

Hey there LoL enthusiasts and welcome back to RotoBaller's coverage of LCS for the Summer split on FanDuel and DraftKings.

Yesterday was our first full four-game slate and it went pretty well with three out of the four games going as I predicted. TSM got trounced and I didn’t see that coming, but it serves to remind us of how volatile these best-of-one series can be.

Today I'll be bringing you my League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for the four-game LCS slate on FanDuel and DraftKings that locks on Sunday, June 14th at 4:00 PM. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @Governor98. Thanks for reading, now let's get to the strategy and picks!

LCS DFS Slate Overview

Sunday's slate marks the end of the first week of games.  The season goes quickly so the first few weeks give us valuable information that we can use further along in our season and allow us to have a leg up on the competition.  Spotting trends and who certain teams  play through in their victories helps shape our lineups going forward and hopefully allows us to become profitable, which can be tough in any sport, especially LoL DFS.

 

League of Legends DFS Basics

Since LCS contests are being offered on both FanDuel and DraftKings, it's important to note some pricing discrepancies from site to site, but the roster slots, scoring, and roster construction rules are almost entirely identical with the only exception being that FanDuel forces you to roster at least one player (or team slot) from a third team, while you can play only two teams among your seven roster slots on DraftKings.

  1.  Stacking in LoL DFS lineups is very important. 4-3 stacks are the order of the day (on DraftKings) with 3-3-1 becoming more popular (and necessary on FanDuel) as people try to differentiate their lineups in these suddenly large-field GPPs.
  2. In LoL DFS, it is very important to focus on players from winning teams. Think in terms of baseball, one side of the matchup is like a pitcher and the other side the batter. This means there is a very negative correlation between teams in the same match. Players score by accumulating kills, which costs the other side points in deaths. Just like earned runs bring down your pitcher’s score.
  3. Along with this another mistake I see beginners making is trusting average scoring. Players' scoring potential is only realized in games that are won. If player X averages 50 DKP, that likely comes from scoring 70 in a 2-0 win and 30 in an 0-2 defeat. What this means is that someone who looks like a value at $4800 suddenly might not end up being such a great point-per-dollar play.
  4. Finally, you're going to want to do your best you fill your captain slot with an ADC or MID. Depending on which teams and players you decide to stack that might not be feasible. The order of preference for your captain slot is generally ADC, MID, JNG, TOP, SUP. Some players in some positions may stand out above the others so consider stats like kill share before you make your final decision.

 

Game 1: Cloud9 (-500) vs. 100Thieves:

Well, this game analysis is pretty easy.  Play Cloud9 every slate. They are on an incredible run and I don't see 100T stopping them. Jam in as many C9 players as you can it’s that simple.

Top C9 Plays:

  • All of them

 

Game 2: Team SoloMid (-265) vs. Dignitas 

Well, I was pretty big on TSM on Saturday, and they let me down hard.  I thought Doublelift would come out playing better but I was mistaken.  I do like TSM again today, but I think that there are probably some better spots on this slate.  TSM is notorious for underperforming, and time will tell if this slate will be the latest in the series.

Top TSM plays:

  • BrokenBlade, Bjergsen, Doublelift, Biofrost, TSM team

 

Game 3: Liquid (-260) vs. Golden Guardians

Liquid looked very good yesterday.  They looked like they were playing loose and Tactical was especially good against the ADC that he replaced.  I think that TL takes this one relatively easily.  I think that TL is on track for a top finish again after the one-off bad split and they look poised for another strong playoff run.  I think that the departure of Doublelift actually helps open up the map for Broxah to control and I think he controls it well in this one.

Top TL plays:

  • Broxah, Jensen, Tactical, CoreJJ, TL team

 


Game 4: Counter Logic Gaming vs. Immortals (-145) 

The last game is interesting.  Probably the worst two teams in the league battling it out in the last game of the week.  I could see one of these teams doing pretty well as I think there's a chance this game has a bunch of kills in it.  I'll side with CLG as I'm not even sure how IMT wins a game this split.  I think Pobeltor could 1v9 this game and take the victory for CLG.

Top CLG plays:

  • Pobeltor, Stixxay, Smoothie
