Playoffs are here and so far the results have gone to chalk in the LCK while the LPL has remained to be a sea of upsets. Today I honestly believe the chalk will extend to both leagues as FPX have been too good to be upset by LNG and Damwon Kia have proven to be a more consistent all-around team this split than Nongshim Redforce.
Game #1: DK vs NS
Zeke’s Pick: DK
Game #2: FPX vs LNG
Zeke’s Pick: FPX
Fantasy Value Breakdown
Captain
Favorite: Doinb (FPX: $11,700): It’s Doinb’s world and we all are living in it. The FPX star has been performed this split, and should have another big series in his playoff appearance. Value Pick: Tian ($10,800)
Top Lane
Favorite: Khan (DK: $6,400) Khan admittedly wasn’t great in his last outing against LSB, but I think he’s due for a major bounce back. All my instincts are telling me that Nuguri will have the better series, but my instincts have led me astray before. It’s the return of Khan tonight all aboard the hype train friends. Value Pick: Ale ($6,000)
Jungle
Favorite: Tian (FPX: $7,200) If you believe in upsets, Peanut is a fantastic steal in the value slot. Otherwise, Tian is a great jungler who LOVES to be involved in kills. In a match against Edward Gaming he went 15/10/25. The man is a menace to enemy teams and should be a great pickup for an FPX stack. Value Pick: Peanut ($6,600)
Mid Lane
Favorite: Showmaker (DK: $7,400) Obviously if you didn’t put Doinb at Captain I’d recommend him in mid. Otherwise, Showmaker still lives up to his name in the midlane. Gori is the other pick if you want to go for the NS win. Icon I personally would not touch.Value Pick: Gori ($6,600)
ADC
Favorite: Lwx (FPX: $7,600) His record speaks for himself. The man is (normally) allergic to deaths and has put up several 100+ fantasy point games against quality opponents. Value Pick: deokdam ($7,000)
Support
Favorite: Crisp (T1: $5,600) Crisp is a really solid support who has seen the lion share of support dutieis onf FPX. Otherwise playoff veteran is a solid shout. Value Pick: BeryL ($5,200).
TEAM
Favorite: FPX (FPX: $5,000) FPX has a better matchup against LNG despite LNG’s big upset over RNG. I really like what FPX has done this split and I think they have a better chance to put up big points compared to DWG. Nongshin has some fun upset value if you believe in the Redforce. Value Pick: NS ($4,200)
