DraftKings LoL: Saturday LCS Cheatsheet

GAMES (EDT)

• 4:00 p.m: 100 Thieves (100) vs. Team Liquid (TL)
• 5:00 p.m: FlyQuest (FLY) vs. Team SoloMid (TSM)
• 6:00 p.m: Cloud9 (C9) vs. Evil Geniuses (EG)
• 7:00 p.m: Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) vs. Dignitas (DIG)

100 vs. TL

I want to believe that 100 Thieves can win here, but I just don't see it. They are a pretty uninspiring team, and while they're capable of an upset, they just don't fill you with a sense of confidence in any matchup with a bunch of middling players. Team Liquid look like they should be one of the better teams in the league, and at the end of the day I think they're better in every role except possibly top lane, but Impact can, at worst, neutralize Ssumday in this matchup.

Prediction: TL win

• 100 Players to Target: None
• TL Players to Target: Broxah ($6,800), Jensen ($7,200), Tactical ($7,200), CoreJJ ($5,200)

FLY vs. TSM

I would've liked FLY in this spot, but with Mash coming in to start at AD Carry over WildTurtle, I'm going to predict a TSM win. While WildTurtle isn't a pop-off type player, neither is Mash, and he's way more of a question mark than Turtle. TSM are probably going to be chalky after destroying Immortals Friday night, making FlyQuest a strong leverage play in a matchup that they definitely have a chance to win. FlyQuest's hopes will rest, as always, on PowerOfEvil, while Bjergsen and Doublelift look to carry TSM to victory.

Prediction: TSM win

• FLY Players to Target: Solo ($5,800), PowerOfEvil ($7,000), FLY Team ($4,800)
• TSM Players to Target: Bjergsen ($7,400), Doublelift ($7,400), Biofrost ($5,200), TSM Team ($5,000)

C9 vs. EG

This should be the most exciting match of the slate, and it's a matchup to play both sides on. Both teams love to play at a high pace and push the action, which typically makes for a good DFS target. I'm going to predict Cloud9 to win, but EG are definitely live dogs and are absolutely worth taking a shot on at these prices. If they can get Jiizuke ahead they may be able to snowball the game, as EG are one of the few teams that can push C9 in pace and possibly take down the defending champions.

Prediction: C9 win

• C9 Players to Target: All players are viable
• EG Players to Target: Svenskeren ($5,400), Jiizuke ($6,400), EG Team ($4,000)

CLG vs. DIG 

CLG are coming off a win Friday night against Golden Guardians and now face off against one of the two worst teams in the league. CLG are not a great team, but they should win this going away as DIG looked terrible and have a roster of either players past their primes or unproven, inconsistent newcomers. The only question is whether CLG are worth their expensive salaries? It's certainly hard to trust them, and I may be more inclined to pay up for Cloud9 or pay down for Team Liquid before looking in this range. Again, with CLG not being a great team, DIG could pull off an upset, but I don't expect it.

Prediction: CLG Win

• CLG Players to Target: Wiggily ($7,000), Stixxay ($7,800), Biofrost ($5,600), CLG Team ($5,200) 
• DIG Players to Target: V1per ($5,400), Froggen ($6,800)
