League of Legends LPL DFS Playbook - April 7/8
Published: Apr 06, 2021
The LPL’s playoff has been quite fun to watch and this slate has the best matchups to date. RNG vs FPX and EDG vs TES in theory should give us a slate of titans so lets see how we should draft for this two day affair.
Game #1: RNG vs FPX
Zeke’s Pick: FPX
Game #2: TES vs. EDG
Zeke’s Pick: EDG
Fantasy Value Breakdown
Captain
Favorite: Viper (EDG: $10,800): The rookie and split MVP, Viper is my favorite no matter he’s playing against a former World Champion. Viper has been absolutely dominant this split and will hopefully continue it.
Value Pick: Doinb ($10,200)
Top Lane
Favorite: 369 (TES: $6,200) A four game slate is always tough, but the top lane situation is even tougher on this slate. 369 was great in his last performance (despite 14 deaths) and should provide the highest upside. Otherwise pick the top laner you feel will be on the winning team.
Value Pick: Nuguri ($5,800)
Jungle
Favorite: Wei (RNG: $7,000) There are no bad picks in the jungle, but Wei has the highest individual potential. Otherwise pick JieJie for his insane value.
Value Pick: JieJie ($6,400)
Mid Lane
Favorite: Cryin (RNG: $7,400) Cryin has been insane this season and should be a massive factor for RNG if they plan on beating EDG. Otherwise FPX’s Doinb dismantled JDG in the quarterfinals with a very strong Viktor.
Value Pick: Doinb ($5,800)
ADC
Favorite: Gala (RNG: $7,800) RNG’s star ADC should be a favored pick in a RNG stack if you’re looking to put Viper at Captain. Lwx played very well in their win against JDG and would be great in a Lwx stack.
Value Pick: Lwx ($7,000)
Support
Favorite: Ming (RNG: $6,000) Stacking ADC/support is crucial even in a four game slate and I expect the RNG bot lane to have a strong five game performance. Lwx and Crisp are an insanely undervalued duo as well.
Value Pick: Crisp ($5,200).
TEAM
Favorite: FunPlus Phoenix (FPX: $4,400) The value pick is the main pick today because they are the ultimate low risk high reward pick. Both matchups are impossibly hard, so why waste money when you can funnel those extra dollars into a better pick elsewhere.
Stacks
RNG: Gala, Ming, and Cryin
The RNG stack is meant for those who like playing favorites. All quality players, this is the ultimate stack if you want to take gambles elsewhere.
EDG: Viper, Meiko, and JieJie
The current MVP/rookie of the split, his support, and a quality jungler in JieJie is an insane stack to have even against TES.
Top Picks: Viper, Wei, and Cryin
Top Value: Lwx, Crisp, and JieJie
