Draftkings LoL – The Breakdown
Welcome ladies and gentlemen! Today we are bouncing back to covering Esports and their biggest game called “League of Legends”. During the week we will see slates in the early morning covering about two matches in each league. The Esports industry is growing rapidly and with the number of eyes on it by celebrities and athletes, it has been taken it to a whole new level. So let’s dive in and break down the slate!
The goal in League of Legends is to knock down your opponent’s towers and destroying their Nexus. There are different lanes that players play in as different champions. You have top lane, mid lane, and bottom lane which has two players in it on both teams. One being a support champion while the other known as the ADC and then you also have a jungler who bounces throughout the map. You merge items and weapons together to make your champion stronger which can give you the upper hand in battles.
While the battle is going on, you can use your team to attack the different elements of a dragon called “Drake” to gain team boosts. There is also a Rift Herald which is the ultimate dragon to take down which gives your team an incredible boost plus the small minions as quick “farming”.
Now let’s get into the points system and how it works for your line-up build and then we’ll move on to line building strategy.
Captain: Like all showdown slates, we have the Captain position which earns 1.5x fantasy point values.
Kills: +3 Points | Assist: +2 Points | Death: -1 Points | Creep Score: +0.2 Points | 10+ K/A Bonus: +2 Points ( 10 Kills or 10 Assists in A Single Game )
Teams: You also pick a team to put in your lineup, so here’s the point break down for them:
Turrets: +1 Point | Dragons: +2 Points | Baron: +3 Points | First Blood: +2 Points | Win: +2 Points | Win Under 30 Minutes Bonus: +2 Points
