Sunday's League of Legends showdown is a single game, T1 @ BLG, with a $50,000 salary cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. Lineups lock Sunday 11/8 at 5:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. PT).
The top of our model's ranking is dominated by BLG. Knight is the headliner at $11,000 with a ceiling of 177.7 and a DraftKings average of 97.1. Viper follows at $10,400 with a 172.8 ceiling and a 94.4 average. The best T1 option is Peyz at $10,800, with a ceiling of 169.2 and an average of 92.9. Xun rounds out the top four at $9,400, with a 166.6 ceiling and a 91.0 average. Those four sit well clear of the rest of the board, so the captain decision likely comes from this group.
The value lives a tier below. ON costs $7,600 and carries a 138.7 ceiling with a 75.8 average, which is a lot of production for the price. Keria at $7,800 offers a 128.6 ceiling and a 70.6 average, and he is the cheapest way to get exposure to the T1 side. Oner at $9,600 (ceiling 135.2) and Faker at $9,200 (ceiling 130.2) are pricier and project lower than the BLG names around them.
The sheet gives no ownership figures, so we can't say where the crowd will land. The rankings do point to where most of the upside sits, and with only two teams and one game, lineups will overlap heavily at the top.
Our model's top lineup spends $49,700 of the $50,000 cap. It puts Knight at captain for $16,500 and Peyz at the second captain-priced slot for $16,200, then fills the FLEX spots with Xun at $9,400 and ON at $7,600. It pairs two of the highest-ceiling players with a mid-priced BLG value play.
Lineups lock Sunday at 5:00 p.m. ET.
