LEC DFS Matchups

• SK vs. Rogue (-400)
• Vitality (-150) vs. Astralis
• Schalke vs. Fnatic (-325)
• Misfits vs. Mad Lions (-140)
• G2 (-350) vs. XL

Captain/MVP

Bwipo - FNC: Bwipo leads Fnatic in kill participation and has a great matchup against Schalke. Kirei has been one of the worst junglers all split which should allow Bwipo to find advantages. Fnatic leads the league and kills and will look to add a bunch to their total in the last game of their split.

Jankos– G2: Jankos leads G2 in kill participation and has been on a great run in the second half of the split. Jankos is second to Rekkles in kill share as well making him a very appealing option for the captain slot.

TOP

Adam- FNC: Adam holds the lead for kills in the top lane. With this being the final game Adam will want to make sure he claims his throne. Adam continues to do his damage in team fights and isn't scared to teleport into other lanes to help finish off kills.

WhiteKnight- AST: WhiteKnight has been a very important piece for Astralis during their push for playoffs. He trails only Adam in kills in the top lane. WhiteKnight is second in both kill share and kill participation for Astralis.

JUNGLE

Bwipo – FNC: If you haven't chosen Bwipo in the captain slot, he is worth considering here

Jankos – G2: Jankos is a great choice here if you didn't take him at captain.

MID

Larssen - RGE: Larssen has been playing really well and Rogue will want to secure first place this split and going up against SK they should have no trouble ending the split with a win. Blue continues to be terrible in the lane phase meanwhile Larssen is one of the best at gaining advantages during the lane phase. Larssen should dominate this matchup.

Caps – G2: Since shaving his head a few weeks ago, Caps and G2 have been playing super well. They are showing why they have been a top team for so long and will look to grab one more win before going into the playoffs. Caps much like Larssen is very good in lane and uses his advantages to take over the later game team fights. 

ADC

Rekkles - G2: Rekkles has a 32.7% kill share to go along with an 8.2 KDA. Rekkles is one of the safest plays on any slate as he rarely dies and is often winning his lane. Rekkles has been on an absolute tear and going up against XL he should be able to keep it going.

Hans Sama – RGE: Hans Sama and Larssen are the two big kill threats for Rogue. Hans has been dominant in the early game all split long and Rogue does an excellent job of funneling gold into his pocket. Up against SK who have nothing to play for this game could have some extra team fights which will allow Hans to clean up the kills.

SUPPORT

Hylissang- FNC: Hylissang is always worth consideration as he is a very aggressive support on a team that is always happy to fight. Fnatic leads the league in kills by a significant margin and Hyli is often the one engaging the fight and racking up assists.

Trymbi– RGE: Trymbi and Hans Sama are a very good bot lane duo. Going up against SK they should absolutely dominate and while he doesn't have the upside Hylissang does, he is a very safe option in cash games.

TEAM

Fnatic: Fnatic is first in dragon control and second in baron control in the league. Schalke is dead last in both categories meaning Fnatic should have little trouble controlling the neutral objectives in this game and racking up the points in the team slot in what should be an easy win.

G2: G2 is the much better team in this matchup and has been playing quite well. They have dominated the neutral objectives this split and nothing should change in their final game.

Final Thoughts

It is hard to believe we already are at the final game of the summer split. Rogue, Fnatic, and G2 will be popular on this slate but look to be the best options. I have had an awesome time providing breakdowns all split long and I hope my analysis has lead to some winning lineups along the way. I cant wait for the playoffs to get started.
