DraftKings & FanDuel LoL DFS Rundown (LCK-LPL) – March 13, 2022 – FantasyCruncher.com DFS Articles & Insights – fantasycruncher.com

Rare Atom (RA) v.s. Weiibo Gaming (WBG) (3:00 AM EST) (-268 WBG)

To start the slate both teams within the top eight will clash here with WBG being the higher rank at the moment (third) compared to RA’s (eighth). The slaying is also close for the most part for both teams with WBG having the slight edge 1.07 team overall K/D compared to RA’s 0.92. However, RA has had the 55.3% jungle-rate edge which could help them in gaining cspm (minions/monsters killed). WBG does have the first tower advantage though with 45.5% over RA’s 34.4% so RA will need all of the objective help they can get. TheShy is dealing the most damage out of all players at the top position with 28.9% so he may end up being one of the more relied upon players for his team. Also, RA’s jungle main in Leyan has been less consistent (2.7 KDA) compared to SofM in the jungle main for WBG which will make matters worse for RA’s chances.

BRION Gaming (BRO) v.s. T1 Esports (T1) (4:00 AM EST) (-588 T1)

The best team in the league at the moment in T1 will look to extend their 15-game winning streak against a BRO team trying to get a streak going of their own (five games in a row) currently. T1’s biggest edge here should be in mid-lane where they are strongest in with a 20.0 rating compared to BRO’s 1.2 rating. This should set up Faker for a strong performance for T1 and unfortunately, for BRO he is the second highest damage dealer at 25.3 in mid-lane and with Gumayusi leading the way in damage at 26.6% in the bot-lane (attack-damage carry). BRO’s chances at success would’ve depended mightily on Raptor in jungle-lane (9.7 KDA) since he has been the most consistent, but he’s doubtful to play which makes it even more difficult for BRO’s chances at victory here.

Invictus Gaming (IG) v.s. Top Esports (TES) (5:00 AM) (-575 TES)

TES enters this match with what should be an advantage for them as they enter with a seven-game winning streak against one of the teams in the bottom half of the league in IG. However, both teams may go to the wire objectively with the tower rates being close (41.9% for IG, 41.2% for TES). Therefore, slaying becomes even more crucial in order to accomplish the objective. Knight has been the most consistent of both teams in the mid-lane with a 5.5 KDA and the highest damage dealer (29.8%). Sadly, no one on IG has been more consistent than any of the players for TES. This may lead to IG getting shut out, unless Wink is able to capitalize off of doing the most damage out of both teams.

Royal Never Give Up (RNG) v.s. Team WE (WE) (7:00 AM EST)

Another potential match that can be more one-sided will go underway as RNG will attempt to extend their three-game winning streak against a bottom tier WE team at the moment (second to last) in the standings. WE may have a difficult time finding an edge here since they’re at a disadvantage objectively and their most efficient slayer in xiye will be pressured against opposing mid-laner xiaohu (6.9 KDA) who should be able to capitalize due to the damage difference of 30.3% compared to xiye’s 27.9%. There should be no surprise if this match also ends up the quickest in favor of RNG with their 53.1 first-blood rate versus WE’s 45.5% and RNG having more than double the tower rate (65.6%) than WE’s 30.3%.

DRX v.s. Kwangdong Freecs (KDF) (7:00 AM EST) (-155 DRX)

To conclude the slate a team in the middle of the pack in KDF will try to rebound from their two-game losing streak against a DRX team trying to extend their two-game winning streak. The best thing KDF can do to increase their changes is the objective mainly which is the slight edge they have if they can build off momentum (67% first-tower rate) versus DRX’s 53%. FATE is also the player most likely to if any to contribute mostly to KDF’s success in this match with the highest KDA of 5.1. However, the mid-lane is DRX’s strong suit at a 10.1 rate which is among the top half of the league. That being said KDF will have to look for another opening to work off the objective. On the other hand, KDF may be occupied even more by minions and monsters due to the CS differential being in favor of DRX at +11.6 compared to KDF’s +1.5. In other words, KDF may not have enough in the arsenal to get the win here, but if they do it should be a very close match.
