LoL DFS Picks for 10/7: DraftKings, FanDuel League of Legends World Championships

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column! Day two went poorly for yours truly, but I did pick three of four main slate matches correctly. C9 pulled an HLE and sucked enough to make themselves optimal, and that hurt since I was counting on HLE sucking the most. PEACE and Infinity went […]

LoL DFS Picks for 10/6: DraftKings, FanDuel League of Legends World Championships

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column! Day one was a bit less exciting than we had hoped. A lot of the promised jungle assassins showed their faces but failed to live up to expectations. Curse of the sad bullet-time came out as expected, and it too proved to be difficult to […]

LoL DFS Picks for 10/5: DraftKings, FanDuel League of Legends World Championships

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column! WORLDS IS HERE! I know I've been tweeting about it for seemingly forever, but this is our Superbowl (with better music production)! Regional strength is much the same as the recently completed EU Masters but on a larger scale. So you'll often find me referencing […]

EU Masters DFS Picks (8/30/21) - DraftKings League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Welcome back RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column! It's been a long time, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to dust off my computer and get back in the LOL DFS game for a bit, I have missed it quite a bit. The EUM is back, and all the simmering undercurrents of the […]

LPL Playoffs DFS Picks for 4/5-4/6: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Some days the tilt is impossible to avoid; even though I picked the two winners yesterday, I still found a way to miss out on profiting off that slate. Gen G showed their steady, strong nature in taking down T1 and will now get to face off with DWG again, this time in the LCK […]

LPL & LCK Playoffs DFS Picks for 4/4: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

 Last night the favs rolled, and the leaderboards were very tight as a result. Double top lane was the nuts on DK, and even though you could work your way into double mid lane paying down was the top option. According to Vegas, tonight's slate promises to be wide open, and curiously both of the […]

LPL & LCK Playoffs DFS Picks for 4/3: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I was hoping that DWG would pull the ultimate alpha move and choose T1 for their semifinal opponent. The new old roster of the former top dogs in the LCK is getting rolling, and I thought that perhaps DWG would look to derail that train before it left the station. Damwon instead chose HLE for […]

LPL & LCK Playoffs DFS Picks for 3/31-4/1: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I've made a pretty big deal about the playoff brackets and the impactions of all our games leading up to the final days of the season. Now we've finally arrived at the opening matches of spring split playoffs in the east. The LCK format is straightforward. T1 faces DRX with HLE taking on Nongshim; Damwon […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/27: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Holy Huanfeng Batman! SNG outperformed expectations, especially their stud ADC. I built most of my lineups around FPX, and they scored very well but not well enough to top HF. Gen G picked up a very HLE-Esque win, which was expected, and AFS dusted SBG. That last game was one where I was glad I […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/26: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

  Last night we had some real snoozers from a fantasy perspective anyway. HLE dominated Fredit Brion with some super clean macro en route to some very disappointing scores. KT and NSRF went the distance, with KT pulling it out to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. In the LPL, we had LNG perform slightly […]

LPL DFS Picks for 3/23: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

  The LPL playoff picture continues to shape up for us. RNG has secured themselves at least the top two with their win over RA, which will auto qualify them for the bracket's double-elimination portion and three rounds worth of byes. IG locked a birth in the playoffs, but they will need SNG to lose […]

LPL DFS Picks for 3/22: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

After getting the update on Showmaker's injury condition, I loaded up on Rangjun with a few DRX hedge stacks and went to bed. I was waking up to see that Showmaker both started and smashed; I was not best pleased, especially since it was a meaningless matchup for DWG. I just hope he's well enough […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/21: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

  Last night was another wild one on the rift. Both LPL favorites went down in flames, and LCK was hardly any better. Gen G came out flat against KT after their big win over DWG, but they did manage to get the dub. That final spot in the LCK is still up for grabs.  […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/20: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I think we can officially declare adcs to be dead in the water. I exaggerate, but as a tilted double adc owner today, I think I'm allowed. Hyper carries like Jinx and Caitlyn are back in the bot lane, keeping the adcs rooted there as well. They need to farm longer to reach two, and […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/19: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Both leagues are barreling towards playoffs, and the LCK only has one spot up for grabs yet. Even with KT's loss, they are still currently holding it. Gen G's upset of DWG didn't do much at the top of the standings besides buffer them from HLE. In the LPL, WE leapfrogged EDG into second, at […]

LPL DFS Picks for 3/15: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

What an exciting night on the rift; HLE struggled with LSB and DWG crushed in the nightcap. OMG, hard INTed. WE made mincemeat of SNG, and JDG did likewise with RNG. Insane stuff, and somehow I managed to build all my hedge lines with some losing piece. Rough go, but we're back in action tonight.   […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/14: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

T1 did it again, I went to sleep before the starting lineups dropped, and they went off at zero ownership. Other than that, it was a productive night with BLG, TES, BRO, and RA winning as predicted. TES couldn't sweep, but given their pricing on DK, that was fine. RA ran IG around the map […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/13: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

  Pretty happy I slept through the games last night. After seeing my scores today, I'll be so glad to rewatch them at 1.5x speed and not be emotionally involved. As our spring split winds down and teams become more desperate to secure a playoff position, I'm sure we'll be in for some more shenanigans […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/12: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Favorites carried the day yesterday, but not quite like anyone expected. EDG blew the doors off of LNG while WE struggled mightly versus OMG. Thankfully the full three-game experience and reverse sweep rescued their scoring. DWG even had a bit of trouble, in-game one at least, completing their revenge sweep against Fredit Brion. HLE, thanks […]

LPL DFS Picks for 3/8: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

We knew last night was going to be a wide-open one, and it was. Gen G with BLG was the nuts on DK with double jungle, no less. DRX and surprisingly OMG both swept. TES had to reverse sweep IG, and that depressed the scoring in that matchup. Things should calm down tonight with a […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/7: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Another wild night on the rift with RA upsetting FPX, but FPX drug the series out so long that they still scored well. By the time game three ended in the RNG/EDG series, you almost forgot that LNG/LGD even happened today. T1 came back with a more experienced lineup to down KT in straight sets, […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/6: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Friday's slate was more trouble in the LCK. Gen G dropped to SBG 2-0, yes, the same SBG who couldn't do anything against NSRF, the same NSRF who got drilled by HLE. As a heavy investor in HLE yesterday, I wasn't pleased with the Lillia mid and slow play in game two, but the sweep […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/5: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I fell for it again. The T1 trap is forever undefeated. Even if you get the starters right, the team lets you down—a disappointing end to a rough night. DRX/KT had one of the most head-scratching game twos in recent memory, with KT throwing away a 9k gold lead only to eke out a narrow […]

LPL DFS Picks for 3/2: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Good thing I didn't jump off FPX as they ran JDG around the map. Doinb came in hard with the Kled and Nocturne picks, and not even Yagao's Zoey could stand up to the pressure. EDG righted the ship, albeit with much more difficulty than anyone imagined. We've got another two-game slate coming up today. […]

LPL DFS Picks for 3/1: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Last night sucked; I sucked. There is no hiding from that fact. I casually alluded to IG doing the most IG things and finding a way to lose to SNG but didn't do anything about it. SNG, to their credit, turned up the pace from their previous passive play, which bodes well for them trying […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 2/28: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Well, I got my low ownership I wanted on FPX, and it looks like I can get it next time too. They were predictably awful, and RNG was the nuts. TES was efficient, and LGD held serve on the blue side. In the LCK, HLE got over on DRX, and DWG took three games, but […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 2/27: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Gen G was slow as predicted on Friday, and they even went so far as to lose a game that was not in anyone's plans. AFS came thru with a cheap underdog sweep for me. TT was one barrel away from picking up a massive upset over JDG, but the Spring 2020 champs forced a […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 2/26: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

All the favs took it home on Thursday. Double support builds were in mass effect, and I took the night off. Or I played OMG, so I should have. Friday brings us the final four-game slate of the week before the five gamers over the weekend. I'm excited to be back and looking forward to […]

LPL DFS Picks for 2/23: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

FPX News broke late about BO being suspended for possible match-fixing in the LDL with his team Estar Youth last year. That news made the Tian start more of an emergency stop-gap than something the organization had planned all along. If I had been more diligent, I could have connected the dots there and played […]

LPL DFS Picks for 2/22: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

After a VERY long week of guessing at LCK lineups and braving swaps left and right, the LPL returns. We'll have LPL two-game slates Monday through Wednesday, with the LCK joining back up for four-games Thursday and Friday. Saturdays and Sundays will be the crown jewel of overnight League of Legends for two weeks yet. […]
