Welcome back to League of Legends. We have a five-game LEC DFS slate at 5 p.m. ET Thursday and a five-game LPL/LCK slate at 3 a.m. Friday on the docket. I’m here to break down my top DFS builds as well as my strategy for this slate. Lineup construction itself is especially important. If you haven’t had a chance, give the Esports 101 breakdown a read.
LCS
We have Day 2 of the LCS, and it feels like an easier slate than the last one. C9, FLY and NRG are the locks for me — I hate to say that in best-of-one, but that’s the stand I’ll take. C9 is my favorite with FLY and NRG laying eggs. I will still like FLY and NRG because of their matchups against the kill feeders from last split, but the priority is C9 of the locks I mentioned.
The match I want four-man stacks of is between TL and 100T. These two teams were bloody last time and were more aggressive dating back to last split. If doing two lineups, I’d have one four-man TL and one four-man 100T with one of the locks above. I do believe in TL this split after a horrendous split and I do believe they win here. GG and EG could be a slower match, but another hedge spot. I’ll focus on GG here with some hedged EG lineups.
Again, I like TL/100T hedge with focus on four man stacks along with some C9 four-man stacks. FLY and NRG should bounce back and prefer two-man stacks of both, but in 10 lineups, I’ll have some four-man stacks. I prefer two-man stacks hedged between GG and EG.

LPL/LCK
The lock of the day is RNG and TES for me. They have the favorable matchups, but they won’t be the four-man focus of the day. I do like RNG four-man stacks more than TES, but the priority will be a hedge between NIP and UP. I truly believe this matchup between two of the weaker teams is going to be the bloodiest. I prefer UP to NIP, but I’ll hedge both sides here.
For the LCK, KT and GEN should win with ease. I never like four-man stacking KT so I’ll play two man stacks even though they face that brutal DRX team. For GEN, I’ll have some four-man stacks, but it’ll also mainly be two-man stacks.
