Thursday's main slate is a two-game League of Legends card on DraftKings: CFO @ KC and BLG @ TES. The format includes a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary, with a $50,000 cap. Lock is Thu 10/29 at 4:00 p.m. ET (1:00 p.m. PT).
Our model's top-ranked play is a team slot. Karmine Corp (KC, TEAM) costs $5,200 and carries a ceiling of 153.0, the highest on the sheet by a wide margin, though its DraftKings average sits at 54.8. Among individuals, Caliste (KC, ADC) at $7,200 has a 112.7 ceiling and a 90.2 average, while Knight (BLG, MID) at $7,400 ceilings at 108.2 with a 94.5 average. Viper (BLG, ADC) is close behind at $7,600, with a 107.8 ceiling and a 94.2 average.
The value tier is where our model finds its savings. Bilibili Gaming (BLG, TEAM) at $5,400 offers a 105.0 ceiling, making it the cheapest route to upside on the BLG side. Xun (BLG, JNG) at $7,200 ceilings at 101.5 with an 89.7 average. On the KC side, Yike (KC, JNG) at $6,800 has a 103.6 ceiling and an 84.5 average, and Kyeahoo (KC, MID) at $7,000 sits at 95.6 with a 76.5 average.
The fact sheet doesn't include ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,900 of the $50,000 cap and leans into the KC mid lane at captain. Kyeahoo takes the CPT slot at $10,500. Around him are bin at TOP ($6,600), Yike at JNG ($6,800), Knight at MID ($7,400), Caliste at ADC ($7,200), Busio at SUP ($6,000) and Bilibili Gaming at TEAM ($5,400). That build pairs KC's jungle and bot lane with BLG's mid laner and team slot, splitting exposure across both games.
Lock is Thu 10/29 at 4:00 p.m. ET (1:00 p.m. PT), so finalize lineups before then.
