League of Legends LPL/LCK DFS Playbook: February 26
Published: Feb 25, 2021
Today’s slate see’s Edward Gaming striving for perfection and KT Rolster looks to keep ahold of their playoff berth. While it is not the most exciting slate, it has plenty of starpower that will make this an exciting DFS slate.
Game #1: GenG vs Fredit BRION
Zeke’s Pick: GenG
Game #2: Afreeca Freecs vs KT Rolster
Zeke’s Pick: KT Rolster
Game #3: JD Gaming vs ThunderTalk Gaming
Zeke’s Pick: JD Gaming
Game #4: Invictus vs Edward Gaming
Zeke’s Pick: EDG
Captain
Favorite: Loken (JDG: $12,000) With a favorable matchup against a poor ThunderTalk Gaming, Loken retains his favored status with me as team captain. Value Pick: Viper ($11,700)
Top Lane
Favorite: Rascal (GEN: $6,800) Rascal has been a solid play at top for GenG and with a great matchup should feast. Otherwise Flandre has done well in the value slot. Value Pick: Flandre ($6,400)
Jungle
Favorite: Kanavi (JDG: $7,400) The ultimate support jungler, Kanavi has suited this meta well and has a favorable matchup. Expect Kanavi to put up a big performance. Value Pick: Clid ($7,000)
Mid Lane
Favorite: Yagao (JDG: $7,600) WIth a slate of mediocre midlaners, Yagao is a man amongst boys and is the best pick at the position. Otherwise you cna risk it all on a xiye or Scout due to their matchups. Value Pick: Scout ($7,000)
ADC
Favorite: Viper (EDG: $7,800) The best idea is stacking either EDG or JDG players and Viper has been an absolute stud at either ADC or captain this year. Value Pick: Bang ($6,800)
Support
Favorite: LvMao (JDG: $6,000) One of my favorite picks at support regardless of region, LvMao will have a banner day against TT. Otherwise Life is a solid value choice. Value Pick: Life ($5,400).
Team
Favorite: Edward Gaming (EDG: $5,200) A good place to take a lower value pick, EDG should win their game handidly and will save you some money to get better elsewhere. Value Pick: invictus gaming ($4,600)
Stacks
EDG: Viper, Flandre, and JieJie
If you’re looking to run an EDG stack go for Viper at Captain with Flandre at Top and JieJie at Jungle. Flandre is a solid top laner while JieJie has a lot of upside at Jungle. Overall a solid stack if you believe EDG can improve to 9-0.
GenG: Rascal, Clid, and GenG
Rascal has the most star power while Clid and GenG are solid picks. Overall this is only preferable if you like betting on the LCK instead of the LPL.
JDG: Loken, Kanavi, and LvMao
My preferred stack, this will have great starpower at Captain, top lane, and support and will ensure that you are betting on a great team.
Top Picks: Loken, Kanavi, Viper
Top Value: Flandre, Clid, Bang
