Went ahead and took the last spot in AdjectiveNoun's league. Let's get that draft done before the EU LCS kicks off on tuesday.


Just to be clear, the points totals you see are just expected points for that week of play right? I assume they're adjusted for the actual matchups so a team and players that are going up against EG/CoL/Curse will have higher expected point totals that week than a team facing TSM/C9/CLG

Correct they're estimated. Still, though..I clearly got some really good picks. I have no idea how good LMQ and CoL players are though..I didn't watch relegations.

No one else knows which is why they're not the safest picks

I ended up starting another league with some friends and ended up with a pretty good draft in my opinion.

I would appreciate any criticism I could get on the team I drafted including suggestions if possible.



I decided to put some faith in the Korean CLG potential, which is why I picked up Seraph. It is worth mentioning that Balls/Dyrus/Ackerman we're already taken by the time I picked up Seraph.

Hey guys, thanks to everyone that signed up in my league. I see that VivaNova won't be around today and League Creation still seems to be closed anyway. I've got work tomorrow and won't be available until around 8/8:30 PM (Mountain Standard Time), so let's hope that League Creation's back open then, I guess. If not, I'm free all of Tuesday, so we'd have to start then, even if it's a bit past the EU LCS start. :/

Since I'm an impatient man I joined a random league on reddit. Didn't get all the picks I wanted, but I have the highest point team out of my whole league. I think I still did pretty well:



I wanted CLG Seraph for my top as a sleeper, CRS Xpecial for my support, and CLG Doublelift for my ADC.

I feel like you'll legit never use Edward though -- I made a similar mistake taking Diamond when I already had Meteos in jungle and Vasilli in my alternate spot. I think Fnatic is a good call for back-ups cause barring a huge losing streak they seem poised to do really well.

But other than that, that's a stacked loving team.

I think they open up league creation briefly every hour so you have just be :f5:ing at the right time. Probably a good idea to make it now rather than hope it's open by the time we're all around for drafting. Ignore all this if you already knew it, I'm just making sure.

As an aside, I find it kind of baffling how overwhelmed Riot was by the community interest in this thing. I don't think fantasy sports are really a thing in my country and maybe the rest of Europe but even I know they're loving huge in America. I wonder if they didn't expect the massive turnout or if it was just prohibitively expensive to actually prepare for it.

No I'm pretty sure you can join any league from any region. The only problem might be finding a good time for drafting with different timezones. You should be able to join Flameingblacks league if it isn't full yet.
