DraftKings LoL: Thursday Cheat Sheet
Another two game slate for Thursday. Unicorns of Love should stomp Giants Gaming, while all eyes will be on the G2 vs. H2K series as two of the top teams in Europe square off. There's two ways to go, either a G2/H2K game stack, or a H2K/UoL stack. Either way expect all players but Giants to be heavily owned as there isn't much variance with only four teams playing.
Top Lane: Vizicsacsi (UoL vs. GIA, $7,100)
Vizicsacsi leads top laners in kills, assists, and kill participation and is second in KDA. He's sort of expensive, but not over priced in what should be a 2-0 win over Giants.
Jungle: Jankos (H2K vs. G2, $5,500)/Xerxe (UoL vs. GIA, $6,800)
I love Trick, who is cheap, but Xerxe is likely to be in a series that UoL win 2-0, while Trick and Jankos should see Game 3. Xerxe leads junglers in assists and KDA and is top four in kills and kill participation. Jankos leads EU junglers in kills and is priced way too cheap even if H2K lose this series 1-2.
Middle Lane: Febiven (H2K vs. G2, $6,500)/Exileh (UoL vs. GIA, $7,700)
Exileh leads European mid laners in kills, assists, KDA, and kill participation and is the main carry for UoL in a series they should sweep. Sounds like a must play to me. Febiven is underpriced in a close matchup and is good enough to out-play Perkz in the mid lane.
ADC: Nuclear (H2K vs. G2, $6,600)
I have enough money leftover to pay up for Zven, but Nuclear has been the better fantasy play so far this season. They are tied for the lead in kills, but Nuclear has 21 more assists than Zven so far this year. I think G2 win this series, but while Zven is the safer play, Nuclear has the higher ceiling if H2K win the series.
Support: Chei (H2K vs. G2 $4,800)
Likewise, I could pay up for Mithy, but Chei has 22 more assists so far this season. Mithy is the safer play but like his AD Carry, Chei possess more upside if H2K can take down the defending European champions.
Team: H2K vs. G2 ($4,100)
I don't see a huge advantage for G2 and while I think they'll win the series, H2K definitely have more than a good chance to take down Europe's best team. H2K are always in play in the team role as they are usually quite good at taking down objectives even in losses.
