League of Legends LPL/LCK DFS Playbook - March 27
Published: Mar 26, 2021
In the LPL we have a matchup of two teams out of the playoff hunt (ThunderTalk and Oh My God) and two teams jockeying for a better seed (Top Esports and Team WE) which is similarly reflected in the LCK. KT Rolster needs a massive upset to stay in the playoff hunt, but I would not trust them on today’s slate.
Game #1: DWG vs. KT
Zeke’s Pick: DWG
Game #2: TT vs. OMG
Zeke’s Pick: OMG
Game #3: NS vs. BRO
Zeke’s Pick: NS
Game #4: TES vs. WE
Zeke’s Pick: WE
Fantasy Value Breakdown
Captain
Favorite: Showmaker (DWG: $11,400): When healthy and playing Showmaker is a must play at captain. Against a mediocre KT Rolster even moreso, but make sure he’s guaranteed to start before slotting him in your lineup otherwise Kane is a great value pick. Value Pick: Kane ($10,800)
Top Lane
Favorite: Rich (NS: $5,800) With an ideal matchup and playoffs on the line Rich should perform against Hoya. Otherwise taking a flier on Doran is a good idea if you’re all aboard the KT Rolster upset bandwagon. Value Pick: Doran ($5,200)
Jungle
Favorite: Canyon (DWG: $7,400) His price increased from last week because he’s that good. Canyon is the real deal and picking him will do wonders for your DWG stack. Value Pick: Xiapeng ($6,800)
Mid Lane
Favorite: Twila (TT: $7,200) I am steering clear of the TES v WE matchup because of how evenly matched both teams are which leads me to Twila. He normally doesn’t put up all star numbers but this matchup is guaranteed to be good potentially for either side. It's a coinflip worth taking.Value Pick: Wuming ($7,000)
ADC
Favorite: Ghost (DWG: $7,800) Ghost has been phenomenal for Damwon this year and has a great matchup. His value is good, but there are good picks like rolling the dice on Noah from KT (if you really like that upset). Value Pick: Noah ($6,200)
Support
Favorite: BeryL (DWG: $5,800) BeryL has been a consistently good pick here and despite being overvalued he’s still my default recommendation. Otherwise the value lies in a coinflip like cold. Value Pick: cold ($5,000).
TEAM
Favorite: Damwon Gaming (DWG: $5,600) Damwon has the best matchup considering the skill on their lineup vs KT Rolster, but the value pick of Nongshim RedForce should not be slept on. Value Pick: NS ($5,000)
Stacks:
DWG: Ghost, Showmaker, and BeryL
A great stack, DWG stars of Ghost and Showmaker have proven why they deserve to be must considerations week in and out. BeryL is a great value at support.
NS: deokdam, Rich, and NS
NS are being underrated because of the TES vs WE matchup and that enables otherwise average players to be worth more. Rich is the big splurge while deokdam impressed in his last matchup.
KT: Gideon, Noah, and Zzus
This is the, “I watch the LCK and I believe that KT Rolster can break curses!” starter pack. Zzus had a great series in his last appearance enabling Noah to perform at a higher than average level. Gideon is a bargain bin jungle pick that enables you to splurge on the rest of your lineup in case of a failed upset on KT’s part but a close game.
Top Picks: Ghost, Showmaker, and Rich
Top Value: Zzus, cold, and Kane
