Nolan Roth's League of Leagues (LoL) analysis and LCS/LEC DFS lineup picks for FanDuel, DraftKings on 8/15/21. He discusses the LCS/LEC LoL slates and his top targets.
Welcome to RotoBaller's coverage of League of Legends DFS for both FanDuel and DraftKings. Be on the lookout for coverage of the LPL, LCK, and LCS as well as we have some great analysts covering all LoL leagues for the playoffs. Today, I am focusing on the 2-game LCS/LEC slate with contests available on FanDuel and DraftKings.
We get a 2 game slate featuring one game from the LCS and one from the LEC. With it only being a 2 game slate I will only be providing analysis on one play per position and providing a secondary option.
Today I'll be bringing you my top League of Legends advice, analysis, and picks, for the slate beginning on Sunday, August 15th, 2021 at 11:00 AM EST. You can check me out on Twitter @nolanroth10 and follow me for more LOL content!

- Fnatic (-275) vs. Vitality
- TSM vs. Team Liquid (-135)
Captain
Upset - FNC: Both Fnatic and Vitality are aggressive teams and are always willing to opt into fights. Upset led Fnatic in kill share during the split at 29.3% and was second to Bwipo in kill participation. Fnatic went 2-0 against Vitality during the split and Upset combined for 22-2-14.
Secondary Option: Bwipo - FNC
TOP
Alphari - TL: This series is a tough one, but TL looked really good against C9 last week and will look to carry that momentum into this series against TSM. Alphari averages a GD10 of 304 and an XPD10 of 225. He always finds a way to win his lane matchup.
Secondary Option: Adam - FNC

JUNGLE
Bwipo – FNC: Bwipo led Fnatic in kill participation at 68.7%. I am looking forward to watching his matchup against SelfMade throughout this series. Bwipo is a very aggressive jungler and is always looking to make plays across the map.
Secondary Option: Spica - TSM
MID
Nisqy - FNC: The Fnatic and Vitality game is the one you want t to have the most pieces of. The kill totals between the two series' could be quite different as TL and TSM will likely be much slower paced. Nisqy finished the split with the second-highest kill share on Fnatic and will be one of the main pieces in my lineups.
Secondary Option: Jensen - TL
ADC
Upset - FNC: If you cant afford Upset at captain, get him in here.
Secondary Option: Tactical - TL
SUPPORT
Hylissang- FNC: Hylissang was my favourite support to play on most slates throughout the split. He is super aggressive and is constantly looking to engage in team fights. He has the highest upside of any support on the slate.
Secondary Option: CoreJJ - TL
TEAM
TL: I really can see this series going either way, so I wouldn't fault you for choosing TSM here instead, however I am leaning TL's way after how good they looked last week. With that being said, Fnatic are a safer choice as they should win their series easier, however I will be using 4 Fnatic players in just about all of my lineups.
Final Thoughts
As mentioned earlier, the FNC/VIT series will be much bloodier than the TSM/TL one. Take that into account when deciding how you want t construct your lineups for this slate. Upset, Bwipo and Hylissang are the core pieces for me from Fnatic.
