DraftKings League of Legends Esports DFS Rundown (LCK/LPL) – July 31, 2022 – FantasyCruncher.com DFS Articles & Insights – fantasycruncher.com

Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) vs. Kwangdong Freecs (KDF) (4:00 AM EST) (-260 KDF)

Both teams have struggled near/at the bottom of the standings but HLE have had the worst slump thus far with eight games lost in a row. Both team’s mid-lanes have been poor as of late which may lead to other aspects in the game becoming more important. KDF should gain traction early with a 39% first to three tower-rate compared to HLE’s 21%. Teddy has been the most consistent slayer of all players with a 3.2 KDA (which no one else is close to) in bot-lane. Therefore, he should be rostered in lineups after dominating his value last game and not receiving a price change. The ownership is also projected to be little to none which would bode well for getting ahead in contests and paired with his top-lane teammate Kiin who is right behind him in damage rate (30%/27.7%), but with a slight price increase.

Oh My God (OMG) vs. Victory Five (V5) (4:45 AM EST) (-378 V5)

The slaying is heavily in favor of V5 here (team overall 1.43 K/D) compared to OMG’s 0.89. Due to Photic having the highest kill-participation for V5 he is one of the safer choices in bot-lane, but will more than likely come with high ownership (highest at his role). XLB would be the next closest in jungle lane which is another advantage V5 has (52.7% to OMG’s 46.9%) and one of the most dominant slayers on the slate (11.2 KDA). However, his ownership is projected to be the highest among every player in this game. That being said V5 should be viewed primarily as a stack mostly for cash and difficult to fade completely.

Fredit BRION (BRO) vs. Nongshim RedForce (NS) (7:00 AM EST) (-128 NS)

These teams have been struggling as of late with NS looking to continue on their one game win-streak against the worst team in the league at the moment in BRO. The mid-lanes have been equally horrible as of late with -20.9 and -20.8 rates for NS/BRO but there should be no surprise if BRO puts up a fight with more baron success as of late (33% to NS’s 24%) which may help them in slaying somehow. Despite regressing last game UmTi may be the only viable one off from BRO and likely to make the most use of the baron due to having the highest kill-participation on BRO and having slightly more damage than his opposing jungle main in (Dread). On the other hand, three players of NS are tied for the most efficient slaying with 2.9/3 KDA’s (Dread/Bdd/Ghost) and Ghost is projected to be the least owned of the three and may add even more scoring from destroying monsters and minions (high vspm) along with battles with opposing lanes. Regardless, this match can go either way with how inconsistent both teams have been overall.

LNG Esports (LNG) vs. Team WE (WE) (7:00 AM EST) (-488 LNG)

The objective should help LNG prevail in this matchup with a 5.9 tower kill rate versus the lowest tower killing team (4) so far in WE. In other words, players such as Light may be relied on more since he has the highest vspm (9.2) on his LNG team which complements their chances of having success of continuing their tower success. On the other hand, Xing is a viable one off with slightly more vspm in bot-lane (9.6) than Light and with little to no ownership which could make Xing a strong hedge play here. Unfortunately, WE may turn out really weak at top-lane which can cause them more problems with Demon likely to replaced Biubiu but with a 0.4 KDA which is the lowest on the slate and can get taken advantage of. In other words, PandaC may be worth the pairing in top-lane (1.1 KDA) along with his teammate Light to help LNG dominate this game.
