Welcome back summoners, to another LOL breakdown article featuring Four matchups tomorrow from the LPL and LCK. Let's see where we can find angles to attack the next slate.
Roster changes will be addressed if need be when mentioning each team. As a friendly reminder, if you can't stomach any sub risk or don't enjoy waking up early, then figure a way to roster players that don't hold any sub risk.
I'll provide my League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for this LPL & LCK slate on DraftKings and FanDuel that locks at 4:00 AM on Wednesday, June 30th, 2021. If you have any questions about the slate or anything please reach out to me on Twitter @nolanroth10. I'll do my best to provide some useful analysis. The odds listed are from Bovada. Let's jump right into the matchups!

CAPTAIN/STAR
Elk - WE: Elk has been a key player for WE and while they have lost their last two series, WE should be able to find a victory against BLG tomorrow. Elk has the second-highest kill share on his team at 29.2 %. He is averaging 88 fantasy points in wins so far this split and that is with one very poor scoring performance. This series also features the second-highest o/u in kills for the slate.
GALA - RNG: This series should be the bloodiest of the four on the slate. While RNG is not the favourite in this series, I really like how cheap they are. This is still the team that won MSI just a month ago, and while they have struggled early on this split they are clearly still very talented. GALA has a 35.9% kill share on RNG and is the clear choice in the captain spot if you think RNG wins this series.
TOP
Breathe - WE: Breathe is an obvious choice in the top lane, as he leads WE in both kill share % and kill participation. His counterpart in Biubiu has just 20 kills in 13 games so far, whereas Breathe has an impressive 55 in 12 games. If you can afford to fit breathe into your lineups do it.
Rascal - GEN: Rascal is cheaper than Breathe on DK and more expensive on FD so I would take that into account when deciding on both sites. Rascal goes up against Hoya, who owns a 27.2% death share on his team. Hoya's early game laning numbers are also quite poor. Rascal has played Lee Sin in seven of his last eight games and is clearly quite comfortable on the champion. It is nice when you can grab a top laner who will be on a champion who is used for more than just being a tank.

JUNGLE
Cuzz- T1: Cuzz is really cheap on FD and the most expensive jungler on DK. He owns a 69.2% kill participation for T1. Cuzz isn't the best one-off play as he doesn't dominate the kills for T1 but if playing multiple members in a lineup he is an easy choice to fit in.
Wei- RNG: Wei is a fantastic jungler and owns a 69.7% kill participation. If RNG is going to win this series Wei will have a major role in it. The majority of the kills for RNG come from GALA and then Wei and Xiahou. It is easy to pick the players you want from this team and if you a using RNG those are the three to grab.
MID
Faker - T1: Faker hasn't been playing like the Faker that made him a legend in League of Legends. With that being said he is capable of it at any time and has still been putting up solid numbers. He goes up against Dove who has been playing really well recently, but T1 is the better team in this series and Faker is still one of the best.
Knight - TES: DFS wise there aren't that many great mid lane options on this slate. While there certainly are some good players we need to find ones that will put up good numbers. I am leaning toward the RNG side in this series, but it is hard to ignore the numbers Knight has put up. He has 54 kills in just nine games and owns an insane 40.6% kill share. If TES wins you absolutely will need to have Knight and even if they don't he could still be worth playing.
ADC
ELK - WE: Take a look at Elk here if he isn't in your captain spot.
GALA - RNG: Same goes for GALA as it does ELK. If you believe RNG wins and GALA isn't your captain it makes sense to play him here.
Teddy - T1: Teddy has been involved in 76.7% of all T1 kills through 12 games. He is expensive on both sites but is definitely worth consideration on this slate. If stacking T1 teddy needs to be one of the first players you put in your lineup.
SUPPORT
Ming - RNG: Any lineup with GALA should have Ming. Ming has been involved in 75.4 % of the kills for RNG and pairing up the bot lane duo makes a ton of sense in the bloodiest matchup on the slate. Ming is also very affordable on both sites.
Missing - WE: Missing is the third-highest support on both sites and provides a cheaper way to get WE exposure. If playing Elk it makes sense to pair him with his bot lane partner. He has an 83% counter pick rate so far which puts the WE bot lane in advantageous laning matchups in most of their games.
TEAM
T1: T1 is the second-biggest favourite on the slate. In both LPL matchups, you will want to use your roster spots on players so T1 makes for a good choice in the team slot
GEN: GEN is the biggest favourite on the slate and much like T1 makes sense to play in the team slot. GEN should dominate this series.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The two LPL matches have the highest o/u in kills for this slate. TOP/RNG is going to be a fun one to watch and being on the right side of that series will be the difference-maker on this slate. The other three matchups will not be as close and it wouldn't surprise me to see a few 2-0 sweeps tomorrow. Reach out to me on Twitter if you have any questions.
That's it, for now, Summoners, good luck tomorrow!
