 Hey everyone, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman, joined today by Tom Vecchio of FanDuel. We should have a breakdown this weekend in the League of Legends. What's happening, Tom? Not so much. This is the start of playoffs. We have two games on Saturday, two games on Sunday. For myself as a fan, it should be a good time, but we also have some DFS to get to. We do have some DFS to get to, and we're desperate for DFS. So it's good to be able to get in on League of Legends. So let's break down Saturday's matchups first. Two games on Saturday. You are all over it, team. Fanatics, how come? We have the start of the playoffs, two games on Saturday, two games on Sunday. Really should be a good time for myself as a fan, and then we also have some DFS action to get into. Starting off with the European matchup, Fanatic, facing off against Origin, and when it comes to Europe, there are two, there are three top tier teams, G2, Fanatic and Origin. We have Fanatic and Origin playing against each other. Clut, this is a best of five series. So this could be a 3-0 sweep, it could be 3-2, which is actually what this series is shaping up to be. Two teams that are very good going head to head, and what should be a close series, that means more potential fantasy points. Obviously better to play five games than three. That's what we want to be focusing on. So we have Fanatic, their top player is Reckless. He is one of the best players, if not the best player in Europe. You want to be starting your stack off with him. You want to be looking to pair him off with Hilsang, his support, and there is a high correlation between EDC and their support player. That's where we get some double dipping on points, if you will. Because then look to Wippo in the top lane, along with going to Nemesis in the mid lane. That's the kind of riskier pick, I think Wippo in the top lane is a bit safer, but you want to be starting your Fanatic stack off with Reckless, Hilsang and Wippo. All right, there you go. Get in on the Fanatic stack there. A series of 3-2 gives you more opportunity to score points. So hopefully you'll take advantage of that on Saturday. Another team that's worth taking advantage of, it's the Evil Geniuses. They're in a good spot as well on Saturday. Why do you like them, Tom? So EG are shaping up to be, this could be a 3-0 sweep against FlyQuest. This could be a 3-1 sweep, which obviously lowers the potential equity compared to going a full five games. They are facing up against FlyQuest. They beat FlyQuest twice in the regular season, 2-0, and these games were complete blowouts. Like these were not even close. And then looking at FlyQuest overall as a team, they have 10 wins in the regular season, but six of those wins came against teams that aren't in the playoffs. So it's like kind of an inflated record, right? So we're saying, okay, they're in the playoffs, but really how good are they? I'm fully expecting, along with some of the analysts that I follow on Twitter, they are expecting EG to win this series. It's just probably gonna be a quick series. So we wanna be looking to Jizuke, who is their mid laner. We have to be going with him. You can't be passing up on, what is essentially an RB one as a home favorite, if you wanna pull up a comparison. We can't be fading an RB one. If you wanna hire upside boom, bust type plays, Svenskeren, their jungler is also very viable, especially if the series somehow goes longer. He would be a high variance player you want in tournaments. And then for a bit of value, their support player Azazel is also really interesting. I will say their ADC Bang is only $100 cheaper compared to Reckless. And now as I said, I expect that Fnatic series to go four or five games, while this EG series should only go three, maybe four. So there's an ownership standpoint to look at. Fnatic and Reckless should be higher-owned, but Bang is kinda just as good as him, $100 cheaper and should be lower-owned. Couple of different options there, if you wanna go with the Evil Geniuses stack, but as Tom mentioned, that series may not go as long as the other one we mentioned. Evil Geniuses is still a nice play for Saturday. Let's move on to Sunday, Tom, and we're gonna take a look at a different region here. We're gonna begin with Cloud9. What do you like about them? Cloud9 are unbelievable. They are first in North American LCS. They are 17 and one in the regular season. The team tied for second was 10 and eight. So 17 and one to 10 and eight is a pretty big differential. Cloud9 have had the number one seed locked up for weeks at this point. They're playing 100 Thieves this week and really no one is expecting this to be a close series. This is going to be a steamroll. This is going to be a quick series, but even with that said, it is really, really, really tough to pass on a player like Sven. Their ADC, who comes in with the most kills in the LCS, the highest KDA, is probably gonna win the split MVP, even in what should be a short series. This is not a situation you want to be fading in. This is a four game slate where you don't want to be fading Scherzer. He's the best pitcher you play him. Sven is the best player on this slate. You do not want to be fading him. You should look to pair him with Volk in his support. Mixing Likrish, if you're trying to get interesting, he's definitely not the highest upside player. I would think Niskey, their mid laner, is a bit better. Cloud9 should win 3-0, but this is still not a team you want to be fading today. Like Tom said, Cloud9 has had this wrapped up for weeks now, and they've been getting set for the playoffs for this matchup here. They're in a good spot. It may not be a long series. Stats should be there for Cloud9. One more team that's worth talking about also playing on Sunday, and that's Rogue. What do you like about Rogue here going out of this weekend? Rogue and Misfits. This is the five and six matchup for the European playoffs. So two teams that are good, but not great. This is a series that we probably should see go four or five games. Don't expect either team to be dominant in either way. I kind of expect this to just be back and forth, maybe a little bit messy. Cloud9 is that team that's going to be steamrolling. This game is actually where we can find some equity because it should go longer, although one team won't be dominant. When it comes to looking at Rogue, I think we want to be starting off with Larson in the mid lane. I think that's a very, very viable option. Along with Han Sama as the ADC, just given the makeup that we have on this slate, Han Sama is a player that you should absolutely want to be targeting. Vander as his support is another player you should be targeting. And I think that going to Sven and Vulcan is a viable combination, but pivoting off of them and going to Han Sama and Vander is a viable option as well. If you actually want to run it back and kind of do with a game stack here, going to Febben, the mid laner for Misfits who are playing Rogue and going to Dan Dan in the top lane for Misfits is interesting because these guys aren't overly expensive and will still allow you to pay up for Sven from plan nine. Both Misfits and Rogue offer opportunity this week to get some other players in there. So consider wisely in this five, six matchup. Rogue, Misfits, both on the table for us here on Sunday. That's gonna do it for us here on the Fandal Hurry Up. Tom, we appreciate it. Tom, good luck this weekend. Same to you. All right, everybody, stay safe out there. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you next time for another edition of the Fandal Hurry Up.
