Suning Gaming v LGD Gaming

BilliBilli Gaming v Royal Never Give Up

 

LPL Monday is back with a two game slate featuring undefeated RNG and winless LGD as the midway point through the season arrives. Let’s look at today’s winners and losers in the LPL. 

 

Game #1: Suning Gaming v LGD Gaming

Zeke’s Pick: Suning Gaming

Game #2: BLG v RNG

Zeke’s Pick: RNG

 

Fantasy Value Breakdown 

Captain 

Favorite: Gala (RNG: $11,400) RNG has always featured excellence in the ADC role, and Gala is no exception. Averaging 15/15/4 across his last 10 series, Gala has been a must pick at captain or ADC. Expect him to smash lane against BLG. 

Value Pick:  huanfeng ($11.700)

Top Lane

Favorite: Xiaohu (RNG: $6,200) The RNG top laner had a blistering fantasy performance going 4/21/5 with 81 Fantasy points. With a favorable matchup, I recommend stacking RNG players because they have the best overall odds for success. 

Value Pick: bin (SN: $6,400) There is honestly no good value in the top lane, so bin takes the “Value spot” despite costing more than my favorite pick. Featuring the most favorable matchup of the slate, bin is a great pick if you don’t want to stack RNG players but that is it. 

Jungle

Favorite: Wei (RNG: $7,000) Continuing the RNG stack, Wei is a great jungler who has been averaging 83 Fantasy points a series. The meta has been in favor of Wei and his matchup against Meteor should be smooth sailing. 

Value Pick: SofM (SN: $6,800) SofM helped SN get a much needed win against OMG last Thursday going 3/18/1 with a deathless game two on gragas. His matchup is favorable and he is a great value pick despite his floor being considerably lower than Wei’s. 

Mid Lane

Favorite: Cryin (RNG: $7,600) Averaging 87.5 FPPG, Cryin has been absolutely electric as a midlaner. His prior performance was low on kills but high on impact only dying once in a two game set. Expect more of the same against BLG. 

Value Pick: Angel (SN: $7,400) SN’s Angel should feast against Uniboy after going 11/0/13 in his previous series. His floor isn’t perfect, but his value potential is sky high especially considering a lot of people will opt for Cryin instead.  

ADC 

Favorite: Huanfeng (SN: $7,800) Coming off of a 13/1/8 performance, Huanfeng is the ADC to pick. He also has good value in the Captain role, but his ability to impact will be much better at ADC. 

Value Pick: Aiming (BLG: $7,200) A serviceable ADC on a budget, only pic Aiming if you’re looking to have stars elsewhere. Aiming has been performing admirably so far this season, but his matchup against Gala and Ming will be a tough one to scout. 

Support

Favorite: Ming (RNG: $5,800) Blessed with a talented ADC, Ming is a no brainer as the best pick at the position. He has played very well this season and he should be the starting option if you have the money. 

Value Pick: ON (SN: $5,600) After a middling start to the season ON has started to trend positively statistically for fantasy purposes. Play ON if you want to save a few hundred to get bigger impact elsewhere. 

TEAM

Favorite: Suning (SN: $5,400) Going up against an almost lifeless LGD, SN should clean house and have a much more favorable matchup than RNG does. Expect SN to put up a lot of points despite their average being relatively pedestrian. 

Value Pick: BLG (JDG: $4,400) While RNG are going to beat BLG (more than likely), BLG provide decent value at their price point compared to LGD.
