Riot Games just released a fantasy league for the LCS. The LCS is the premier competitive circuit for the videogame League of Legends, and the fantasy league encompasses both the European and American LCS. The Fantasy Leagues will run for the upcoming Summer split.

Sign up here: http://fantasy.na.lolesports.com/en-US
Learn how to play here: http://fantasy.na.lolesports.com/en-US/how-to-play

How to Make a League
Every league has eight players. You will all need to be present when the draft happens.

How to Make a Team
When constructing a team you can choose 7 players, one for every position and one flex pick from any position. You also choose 3 subs who can replace one of your main players on a given weak. You also choose one of the teams to be the team you track.

Then, throughout the split you are scored on the following metrics:

Players
Kills: 2 pts
Deaths: -0.5 pts
Assists: 1.5 pts
CS: 0.01 pts
Triple Kill: 2 bonus pts
Quadra Kill: 5 bonus pts
Penta Kill: 10 bonus pts
10+ Kills / Assists: 2 bonus pts

Teams
First Blood: 2 pts
Dragons taken: 1 pt
Barons taken: 2 pts
Towers destroyed: 1 pt
Victory: 2 pts


Use this thread to discuss the games, cry about how bad your Darien pick was, and try to convince your opponents to not start Bjergsen.

I made this team for Oceania goons if we can get enough to play. If we only get 4 or 6, we can remake the league for that number. You're welcome to try if you're from other regions, but I'm not sure if it'll work.

I shouldn't have drafted Diamond when I already had Meteos, and my flex spot was filled with Vasilli. Obviously Imaqtpie is never leaving my roster. Although I do have Hai and Shiphtur, so we'll see.

I think the reason I always lose these things is because I choose players I like, not necessarily players who will do well...

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

Does anyone else think that first blood being worth 2 points for a team is way too heavily weighted? I haven't like run numbers or anything, but that seems like a lot for something that isn't as outcome-based as like towers or dragons or something.

I also kinda wish that dragons/barons would be weighted by in-game percentage instead of raw numbers, if a team like C9 two splits ago dominates the majority of their games and ends them in like an average of 24 minutes or whatever that should be worth more points than an EG/CRS slapfest that goes like a full hour. Wins that take less time being weighted more heavily than longer wins would be pretty cool.

Here's the links for the leagues so far. If you're linking a League make sure you link the URL to let people join, otherwise it just tells users "Not a member of this league" and they can't do anything

I agree, especially about First Blood. I think the graphic I saw from All Stars actually had less than 50% of the teams that got first blood winning the game, and for pretty much every event before that it was ~50%.

The Silver Squids link does not work for me at all and I see I am going to have some gimmick Ben Gibbard/QTPie reference competition :argh:

The first blood points are obviously to give an edge to everyone who knows that Kiwikid cannot help but secure kills.

The only thing you really need to know is that Westrice is probably the best player in NA and you should try to draft him as soon as you can.

That's not at all how drafting works!

and just a reminder! This is combined LCS so you can draft EU or NA (Although EU sucks so after Rekkles is gone there's no one worth picking up at all)

So the draft takes place in realtime? Do you think you get randomed a player or the this just cancels if people don't pick in time?

Takes place in real-time, but I don't know how we deal with people who aren't drafting anyone. Hope there's an option for the owner to skip them/random them a person.

e: It says you have one minute to draft a player goodluck getting 8 random people together to do that!

This seems like a bad idea. I mean, I guess it's for real life friends, or something? IDK, that doesn't seem like a good decision.

Does the draft happen on command, or does it start the moment your league fills up?

On command, although it doesn't give you the prompt to start the draft until your league is filled

OK semi-fake enthusiasm aside, it's probably a good idea to hold off a bit, especially with how much downtime the site is having right now. I'll be gone until Sunday so I wouldn't be able to draft until then though.

Yeah, I'm not sure if the current set up is very good for 'random strangers, join my fantasy team!' It makes more sense for people who are close friends that can do that sort of thing.

And the website keeps dying.

So uh, I think you can't join leagues if your summoner name is from a different region.

I made this team for Oceania goons if we can get enough to play. If we only get 4 or 6, we can remake the league for that number. You're welcome to try if you're from other regions, but I'm not sure if it'll work.
