 All right, welcome and it's another edition of the fan duel hurry up. I'm Joe Ranieri I'm joined by Thomas Vecchio today of number of fire and we're gonna dive into the world of Esports because Thomas correct me if I'm wrong here It is it is an ever-growing community of folks and there is an ever-growing Community of people who are betting on esports right now. Yeah, we've had it for DFS You know for the past few seasons. We just recently got it on fan duel It's becoming larger in some of the Vegas books and at this time when you know traditional sports are paused We want to be looking to whatever action we can possibly get so like in anything else in the DFS world No matter what sport you're talking about. Obviously, there are gonna be favorites. They're gonna be underdogs There's gonna be value you just got to figure out which way to go now I know this week and of course we've got a League of Legends tournament going on talk to me here about Some of the big favorites, right? Some of these teams that that we should know about that are like that Let's say the Yankees or the Dodgers so to speak. Yes when it comes to League of Legends DFS It must take us a little bit step back for you know, most people this might not be normal But you want to just treat this as a DFS sport learn it like baseball learn it like hockey You want to be focusing in and on stacking You know who are the teams that can stack up to really rack up the most fantasy points possible and this week We want to start off with TSM team solo mid They're nine and seven for their regular season record. They're tied for second place We're down to the final two games of the regular season They are looking to lock up the second seed which is much much better than the third seed You get to pick your opponent when it comes to playoffs They are playing 100 thieves this weekend who come in with the third most deaths in the North American LCS Team that doesn't play necessarily two disciplined at times So team solo mid aren't a good spot to really rack up the you know potential points Now when it comes to the positions your mid laner and your ADC are kind of like your wide receiver one and running back They're going to be putting up points on a game by game basis But they have even more points when it comes to winning The support jungler and the top laner those players are like maybe a tight end or a wide receiver two Where they have a wider range of outcomes So for me on TSM going to gyrson in the mid lane is a no doubt Cabe at ADC and then if you want to you know implement a little more risk Going to dardoc at jungle or biofrost at support really offer you upside in a spot where they should be able to win And of course, you know with these games going on and and correct me about how many games are we talking about Either a day or per the week. Are we looking at the possibility to be able to uh to create these lineups? So there's five games on a slate they play two games on every weekend So five games on saturday five games on sunday All right, so we're talking about of course, uh, is there anybody else, uh, you know in that favorite or higher price category that we should know about So the best team in the league is a team called cloud nine. They are 15 and one They have locked up the first seed for weeks at this point. They have nothing to play for they're playing a team Evil geniuses who are also nine and seven just like tsm vying for a playoff spot fighting for this seeding Cloud nine looked okay last week They like I said, they don't have anything to play for and I kind of like eg this week as a higher price team hoping for some leverage You know if we have newer people coming into, you know playing esports dfs We want to be looking for a spot where if cloud nine is going to be overowned just because they're 15 and one in the best team I want to go for that leverage in tournaments and it comes to a team like eg who are playing them You can be looking to jizuki in the mid lane for 9.2 bang their adc is one of the most consistent players in the lcs Seeing at 9.6 and really I think the wild card is gonna be their support player zazel at 7.6 So you get a little bit of savings with him You're going up to the high price players that you want and hopefully the lower ownership in tournaments All right, so let's talk here, of course You can have the higher price stacks without having the value the lower price stacks here So talk to us here about some of the more value oriented stacks. We should be looking at this weekend So one of the cheaper stacks we're gonna find tonight or this week I should say for saturdays lcs slate is counter logic gaming now if you look at the standings They are dead last in league. They're 13 and three. They're out of the playoffs They are facing a team golden guardians who is six and ten They're really not that much better than clg and if everyone's gonna be off of clg just because They're terrible or quote unquote terrible I think we can be looking to them for a bit of value now golden guardians actually coming with the second most Debt in the entire league clg is that you know last in the league with the most death But golden guardians like aren't Significantly better just because they have three more wins than clg and the savings that counter watch gaming bring tonight are really awesome We have stick say their most I would say their best player the most expensive at $9,000 You really get some savings if you drop down to their support smoothie at 7.3 And really pobelter in the mid lane at 8.4 is much much cheaper compared to some of the other mids So we get a bit of value. We get a team who yeah, they play a little bit sloppy, but golden guardians are not that good All right So talk to me because I love the name talk to me about the Immortals here tonight in a value that they bring to the table So Immortals back into the lcs this season after a few years off. They are eight and eight They are vying for a playoff spot. We've all these teams nine and seven eight and eight six and ten They're all in the mix I like this spot for Immortals this week mainly because their prices are really really cheap. They kind of remind me of I don't know like just the middle of the road nfl team You know sitting on like the outside looking in they look good sometimes that they look bad sometimes maybe they're losing games They shouldn't be they're winning close games that they shouldn't be winning That kind of team and if everyone's going to be paying up for you know cloud nine or tsm They're gonna be dropping all the way down for a clg We have Immortals in the mid tier apollo came in mid season He's nine point four their most expensive player But really the savings that hako their support brings that six point eight Exmit the in the jungle at seven point eight and ike in the mid lane is only eight point five So we have Immortals really cheap options when it comes to support We have some what should be lower ownership with counter logic gaming and then really that team i'm trusting this week is going to be tsm So as you can hear with thomas obviously there are opportunities this weekend e-sports continues to power through and of course We've got you covered here at fan duel dot com all the information you need the lines the lineups all available to you at fan duel dot Tom so thomas vekio of number fire Certainly appreciate your time and your knowledge when it comes to e-sports and this has been Another edition of the fan duel hurry up.
