I hope my readers tailed me yesterday, because we had a great day. We missed our over on the Victory Five/Vici Gaming series, but cashed a healthy +110 on Victory Five as well as a nice +105 on the over in the RNG/Estar series to cap a profitable day. Today's slate isn't quite as juicy as yesterday's in my eyes, but I still see money to be made nonetheless. The opening series of the slate could potentially be a one-sided affair as JD Gaming will take on Dominus Esports. The second series of the day will be an exciting one between LGD and Invictus Gaming. Let's not delay things further though, let's hop right in.
JD Gaming (-4000) vs. Dominus Esports (+900)
Starting Lineups
JD Gaming: Zoom, Kanavi, Yagao, LokeN, LvMao
Dominus Esports: Chelizi, Xiaopeng, Twila, xubin, Mitsuki
I am not going to spend as much time breaking this one down as I will the second series. The first series of the day will see JD Gaming (1-2) battle with Dominus Esports (0-4). JD Gaming has a 2-0 win over Suning under their belt this split, but they lost 0-2 to Top Esports and 1-2 to RNG, two losses that weren't overly surprising. It is hard to give Dominus Esports any sort of advantage in this bout, and they will be doing very good to even take a game. The lowest KDA of any player on JDG is Top Laner Zoom with a 4.43. Meanwhile, Support player Mitsuki and Jungler Xiaopeng are the only two players with a KDA higher than 4 for DMO. I'm looking for a way to cut back the juice on this contest, so I am playing the over on the kills total for map one. It's a rare occasion that games don't have a kill total much lower than what is set, so I am playing this instead.
Pick: Map 1 Over 24.5 Total Kills (-115)
Invictus Gaming (-190) vs. LGD (+140)
Starting Lineups
Invictus Gaming: TheShy, Ning, Rookie, Puff, Southwind
LGD: Langx, Peanut, xiye, Kramer, Mark
The second series for today's slate should be much more interesting to watch. We will see a pair of 3-1 teams battle it out as Invictus Gaming will take on LGD. Invictus Gaming's only loss came at the hands of Team WE while LGD's only loss came to Top Esports, both of which are losses that won't hurt their resumes. Invictus Gaming has dominated meetings between these teams in more recent years as they hold an 8-2 record since the beginning of 2017. LGD will start Langx at the Top Lane which is clearly the better option for them. In fact, I would give Langx the advantage over TheShy in the Top Lane, but there isn't a huge advantage for either team in any other lane. LGD's Bot Laner Kramer leads the LPL with a KDA of 10.13, and the closest player to him is RNG's Betty with 9. Support player Mark (who joined the team during the break from DMO) is third in the LPL with a 7.42 KDA, Jungler Peanut sits fifth with 6.83 and Mid Laner xiye sits sixth with 6.73 for LGD. I have done this before, and I am going to do it again for this series. I have a two play special on this series as I have LGD winning this one in three games.
