DMO vs. FPX
We have a very chalky two-game slate Monday, starting off with DMO and FPX, two teams with opposite skill gaps. DMO have won one series all split, while FPX are finally finding their grounding. FPX have struggled throughout the entire split, and they are on the verge of fighting for the last playoff spot. This is a must-win game for FPX, and they are going to do everything they can to stay in that eighth-place spot after the RNG upset Sunday. FPX should win this game easily, and this is likely to be the bloodiest game to target, as DMO have given up a lot of fantasy points, especially in 2-0 outcomes. One little concern is that FPX might try extra hard and not mess around, which could limit their fantasy upside, but overall this is a game to full stack in cash.
Prediction: FPX 2-0
- FPX Players to Target: Everyone
LGD vs. BLG
This is another must-win spot for LGD because with a loss here and an FPX win they will drop down to eighth place due to the head-to-head results. BLG are struggling to beat any of the playoff teams and this comes with how basic their drafts have been. Meteor plays trundle more than anyone in the LPL, and there are a lot

This is another must-win spot for LGD because with a loss here and an FPX win they will drop down to eighth place due to the head-to-head results. BLG are struggling to beat any of the playoff teams and this comes with how basic their drafts have been. Meteor plays trundle more than anyone in the LPL, and there are a lot of counter junglers who can handle that champion. It is a shame that their drafts and compositions are holding them back in some games because they can get away with it against the mediocre teams due to how good the players are, but their overall champion pool compared to the better teams is what separates them. LGD's metrics point to a 2-0 win, and I can see that because Peanut can lock in Lee Sin or Graves, two champions he's really good at to counter Meteor. LGD are more coordinated, and with their playoffs on the line they are going to have to try because BLG are the type of team that can catch teams off guard if they are not ready.
Prediction: LGD 2-0
