League of Legends DFS - LPL Lineups, Stats, and Projections: Tuesday, June 16th
We are just a day away from the return of four-game slates on a nightly basis for League of Legends DFS, with the LCK set for a June 17th restart. With this in mind, it is time to get ready for DraftKings and FanDuel contests with the LineupHQ lineup optimizer, LPL projections, projected ownership, stats, starting lineups, and much more here at RotoGrinders.

In this article, we’ll break down some of the basic stats for each LPL player and team. We’ll examine the odds, and review early projections to determine who might make their way into the top DFS stacks for the night.
Let’s get busy and try to make sense of this bizarre and lopsided two-game slate.
League of Legends Schedule & Betting Odds
| Team 1 | Team 2 | Moneyline Team 1 | Moneyline Team 2 | Game Time (Approx) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LGD | Vs. | DMO | -556 | 406 | 05:00AM ET |
| TES | Vs. | OMG | -1650 | 981 | 07:00AM ET |
Note: Betting odds vary by provider and are subject to change throughout the day.
We can see clearly that this slate features two heavy favorites thanks to a strong summer split start for LGD, and an equally pathetic showing by both DMO and OMG. Top Esports is highly regarded as a top team in the league, and my personal favorite competitor Knight is one of the primary drivers of their success. It’s going to be a challenge to get different and win tournaments with such a lopsided outcome distribution expected.
Team Overview
Stats displayed in his section are from the 2020 Spring and Summer season.
| Team | Record | Kills/Gm | Kills/Win | Asst/Win | Ast/Kill/W | OppDeath/L | Avg. MPG | Implied Win % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LGD Gaming | 2 – 0 | 12.98 | 18.82 | 48.76 | 2.59 | 17.24 | 32.84 | 81.09% |
| Top Esports | 2 – 0 | 15.70 | 18.57 | 43.57 | 2.35 | 16.70 | 32.92 | 91.07% |
| Dominus Esports | 0 – 2 | 11.79 | 18.86 | 43.86 | 2.33 | 19.00 | 32.27 | 18.91% |
| Oh My God | 0 – 3 | 9.91 | 16.56 | 38.28 | 2.31 | 19.53 | 31.13 | 8.93% |
As previously noted, both Oh My God and Dominus Esports have gotten off to a horrible start this summer. While Top Esports has the sexier names, LGD faces an opponent who tends to die more often in loses and generally earns more assists per kill. It will be interesting to see how projected ownership evolves to help us make decisions on roster construction in the LineupHQ optimizer.

Kramer will be a highly popular choice this evening, as will JackeyLove. Only the brave few will dare click Smlz, leaving Helper as the most viable contrarian bottom lane option available.

Knight is one the most DFS friendly Mid lane options in the entire world. Your only reason to fade will revolve around roster construction.

| H4cker | Karsa | 68.00% | 1.55 | 6.78 | 169.14 | 981 | 18.27 | OMG |
Peanut is a player who plays the Jungler position in a DFS friendly manner. He figures to be popular, but the h2h with Xiaopeng is one where there are many paths to success. His high participation in kills makes him difficult to omit from stacks.
LPL DFS Projections and Matchups – TOP
| Player | Opponent | KPAR | KDA | Opp KDA | CS/GM | Team Odds | Projection | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LangX | Natural | 67.10% | 3.36 | 1 | 243.2 | -556 | 68.20 | LGD |

| Curse | 369 | 47.90% | 1.28 | 11.75 | 272.83 | 981 | 13.63 | OMG |
369 and LangX are far ahead of the underdog Top Lane options under the circumstances. You might choose to lean in the direction of LangX if you believe that LGD will often produce more assists (and higher kill participation via team fights) than Top Esports.
LPL DFS Projections and Matchups – SUP
| Player | Opponent | KPAR | KDA | Opp KDA | CS/GM | Team Odds | Projection | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark | Mitsuki | 80.50% | 5.17 | 1.32 | 34.67 | -556 | 63.36 | LGD |

| cold | yuyanjia | 69.40% | 2 | 7 | 35.17 | 981 | 11.84 | OMG |
Mark is burdened with the most plain name in all of LOL DFS, but he is one of the primary assist collectors for a team that is a big favorite to win. Pairing in LGD stacks tends to make sense if you are leaning on assist totals as reason to favor them over Top Esports for the night.
