LCK DFS Picks for 2/20: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
Ugly, ugly league of legends was played last night in the LCK. T1 ran the same trashy draft back into DRX three times, and it didn't work out. I wouldn't be surprised to see the third jungler Oner make his debut next time out as the gap was punished by Pyosik quite hard. KT did […]

In the weirdest of scenarios last evening, I spent a great deal of time defending HLE against NSRF. I'm not too fond of HLE, and I think they stink. They went above and beyond the call of duty last night to prove me right, and now I'm prepared fully for them to upset DWG at […]

I said yesterday that KT had been my kryptonite this spit, and even though we saw Damwon pull out that win, I think that moniker still holds as the rollercoaster continued with a slate breaking performance. Brion came through for me in the second set fighting their way clear of an SBG team that looked […]

I've had more than a few of you reach out on Twitter this past week, wondering where the LPL and LCK have gone. The majority of LOL dfsers picked up the sport post-covid last year and are not aware that this spring break period is a fact of life in the eastern regions as they […]

BLG. That's it, that's the intro. Tough times out there when I can't even get a -600 favorite to pick up the win. I did get the two theoretically closer matches in the LPL correct, with JDG and FPX both winning. With other teams making significant upgrades, TES will have to adapt their engage and […]

Yesterday was not good for me as I stuck to my SNG guns to watch them draft Udyr and get spanked. Then run it right back with similar results. Gen G was the nuts, and if you were bold enough for the BDD comeback play, you likely smashed. DWG won handily, TT threw hardily, and […]

Things got somewhat back to normal last night with only one colossal upset and only one team messing around with swaps. After losing game one, KT swapped out mid and jungle, nearly lost game two playing too passively, and then did lose game three. Hopefully, they learn their lesson that these desperation roster swaps, ain't […]

What a start to week four in the LCK that was, and there were shenanigans aplenty. T1 put the lineup into the blender again, and Zeus (Zay-us, yeah, I know I was prepping for a literal thousand Zeus.gifs) and the boys came out the other side with a dominant game one win. Then they changed […]

Well, I think I joked yesterday in this space both about my Fanduel results (no win) and WE trying to spice up the two-game slate (no win). Maybe I'll lay off with my natural witticisms today just a bit to avoid dropping another hex on this nice little four-game slate. Even the EDG win in […]

Billibilli damm Gaming, as one of the preeminent BLG fans anywhere, I was happy to see my boys draft some carries for Aiming and let him do his thing. I only had one BLG lineup, which was on Fanduel, so I'll let you know how that did tomorrow. So while I'm ecstatic about BLG taking […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL DFS Picks for 2/1: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
I think we all knew last night felt too easy, and with KT getting run, it certainly proved to be a bit of a disaster. I know I got crushed, and it would have taken me at least two wives worth of lineups to arrive at Bang captain lineups. What's done is done right, and […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/31: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
Outside of my account balance on DK and FD, I was a little bit happy to see V5 get punked due to their roster shenanigans. DRX struggled to get across the line versus Fredit, Gen G, and FPX smashed. How about BO? I mean, damm, what a performance from the rookie. Speaking of roster shenanigans, […]

Welp, I did a poor job following my advice and ended up going all-in on WE only to see them draft Jhin and crush my dreams yesterday. They were quite popular, so I'm sure they dashed a lot of people's hopes. AFS picked up another cheap win with NSRF tilting off game two after throwing […]

T1 going to T1, I guess. I went on record as 60/40 Gumayusi/Teddy and took the L. On the upside, I get to continue to use my Liquid Metal T1 meme, so that's nice. We will have to continue to watch T1 closely and tread lightly when they are in the late game. Their new […]

What a wild and wooly day out on the rift. FPX rocked out a 22-minute game, and IG delivered a 30 kill experience. High priced mid laners took it on the chin as explosive adc performances took center stage. We'll have some more stud adcs on today's slate to turn everything on its head. This […]

Last night was as close as I thought it would be, and we did see some more one-off lineups take the day. Both of my underdogs fell short in a sad way. V5 with some poor calls around the herald, and BLG with another questionably draft in game one. Gloomy days indeed, but with a […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL DFS Picks for 1/26: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
I knew I should have left well enough alone last night, but lock was too far away, and the longer I sat at work, the more lineups I talked myself into. That was sub-optimal, to say the least, as it would have taken me a day and a half to punt mid lane to be […]

Well, last night proved to be a rough one. The pricing on T1 and Gen G was too attractive; that and being dead wrong on LNG put the nails in my coffin with the swiftness. LCK is looking more wide open than ever, and the LPL is suddenly the consistent one? Oh boy, that's going […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/24: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
Last night was not a fun slate to build for, as every lineup felt more than a little gross. Overpaying for teams in rough spots and trying to dodge the duds was the order of the day. I'll take this time to plug the premium slack channel here at Rotoballer quickly. Due to my irregular […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/23: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
I finally got my BLG win, and I was all in on them. I split JDG and EDG, so a couple of lineups found the green. It was a good day all around, and even with KT throwing that series away, I went 3-1 on my picks. Nothing to do but get back to work […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/22: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
Last night was a wild one with RNG scoring as much in one game as I ever remember seeing and DWG stumbling versus Brion. Too much DWG in the team slot and the wrong guys off the right teams cost me last night. I'm sure a lot of you, too, got stung with the extreme […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/21: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
I should have stuck to my guns on Wednesday, from a week ago when I attacked AFS as the second-worst team in the LCK. The late line movement suckered me in, and my night was lost right off the bat. The DRX side of that match was as bloody as I hoped, and IG was […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/20: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
The most likely outcomes yesterday held up in something of a surprise, and the favorites both swept. They both wavered a bit in game two but ultimately got the job done. It was a Fanduel style lineup that took down DK. LGD team punt got double ADC, which was enough to fend off the next […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL DFS Picks for 1/19: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
If you follow me on Twitter, you already know, but I'm steaming. Game one showed what BLG could be. Mark is coming downhill on a tanky engage champion, Meteor out farming the enemy carries (yes, both of them), Zeka roaming the map, and I couldn't have been prouder. Then game two happened; ok, I said […]

I'm not backing down from my AFS stinks take just because they put up some fantasy points on Sunday morning. It was how bad they stank that allowed them to do that. They nearly gave game two away with some shady baron setups and then got aced in Brion's base. Luckily Brion is the bottom […]

Oh, when will I learn Liiv Sandbox stinks, and they let me down again I ruined a perfectly good HLE/V5 line with SBG one-off. KT bounced back in a big way, and EDG pulled the welcome mat out from under FPX. V5 ended the Trigger experiment almost before it started, and I'm okay with it. […]

A stunning comeback from DWG saved the day for some folks. Not me. I faded all LCK matches yesterday, eschewing the safety for the more exciting upside of the LPL matchups. Too many hedge lineups and not enough eStar. Felt like I had a pretty good grasp of the slate with the LCK options being […]

JDG turned the slate on its head with a huge performance against BLG. Minus the incredible inting by BLG, I nailed that one JDG could out team fight my BLG on their way to victory. SNG and RNG was an L for me and a bizarre series overall as both teams opted into scaling options […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/14: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
Well, last night was sure an adventure. The LCK favorites held serve as expected, but unexpectedly. While WE and V5 threw back and forth, IG just threw. Seriously though, all the props to Lwandy may never be allowed to pilot Alistar again after his game two performance. It was well after midnight when rumors reached […]
Jason Malmanger 4 years agoLPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/13: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy
Our first "big" four-game slate is upon us, and I couldn't be more excited, especially after last night's fiesta. TES what the actual, but imagine how tilted you are if you fired up an RW stack only to not cash thanks to how poorly game one played out. Onward and Upward, as they say, we're […]
