Royal Never Give Up v Cloud9
PSG Talon v Pentanet.gg
Cloud9 v Mad Lions
The Rumble stage will feature brand new matchups on day one, and starts off with an absolute barn burner. With a few games being potential upsets, lets get into the first day of Rumble DFS.
Fantasy Value Breakdown
Captain
Favorite: Gala (RNG: $11,700): Gala’s strength of schedule is tough, but he is a world class ADC. Both games should be high kill affairs (with the C9 matchup being a potential stomp for RNG) that should favor Gala. Otherwise Ghost should farm against PSG. Value Pick: Perkz ($11,100)
Top Lane
Favorite: Armut (MAD: $6,600) While the Pentanet.GG story was amazing, BioPanther was one of the worst top laners at MSI (at the group stage). Armut has an even matchup against Fudge and a perfect matchup against BioPanther which gives him the most room to excel today fantasy wise. Value Pick: Fudge ($5,800)
Jungle
Favorite: Elyoya (MAD: $7,400) Mad Lions had a great Group stage and Elyoya was a big part of their success. Expect the jungler to have good games and be a big factor in the team’s success against weak competition. Value Pick: River ($6,400)
Mid Lane
Favorite: Cryin (RNG: $7,600) Cryin has been incredible so far while Humanoid has left room for criticism. Expect Cryin to perform or pick up Maple on the cheap and hope for the best. Value Pick: Maple ($6,800)
ADC
Favorite: Carzzy (MAD: $8,000) Carzzy is a great matchup pick at ADC. Otherwise you can take either Gala or Ghost if you didn’t pick them for Captain or roll the ultimate dice and pick Zven. Value Pick: Zven ($6,800)
Support
Favorite: Beryl (DWG: $5,200) Beryl has a better overall matchup than Ming which is why he gets the nod at support. Otherwise you can diceroll Vulcan to pick a good teamfight champ and hope for a lot of assists.Value Pick: Vulcan ($4,600).
TEAM
Favorite: Royal Never Give Up (RNG: $5,000) RNG simply has the easiest pathway to a 2-0 day. Mad Lions are foolsgood at the most expensive slot because they also have to face C9 and that is a much more even matchup then RNG against C9. Otherwise pick C9 if you believe in magic.Value Pick: C9 ($4,200)
Stacks:
RNG: Gala, Xiaohu, and Cryin
Gala continues to be a menace in the bot lane while Xiaohu has performed well overall. You can substitute this stack by picking up RNG as a team or opting for Ming if you trust his botlane matchup over BeryL’s.
MAD: Armut, Elyoya, and Carzzy
The best stack of the day, MAD Lions have two great matchups that should be great for fantasy purposes win or lose. Humanoid is fools gold, but otherwise anyone on MAD would be a great slot at their position.
Top Picks: Gala, Armut, and Carzzy
Top Value: Zven, Fudge, and Perk
