Fantasy Football. Fantasy Proleague. Fantasy GSTL. Fantasy TI3. Perhaps the greatest thing next that mankind has come up with. Fantasy allows you to be the armchair GM, for you to put your skills to the test against others who crave that same fame and recognition.
With the approach of the Season 3 world championships, it's time to institute and play our own Fantasy game for pride and glory. + Show Spoiler +
If this goes well, there'll be a bracket stage fantasy game
What's at stake?
Winner gets lifted to Yango status, as no one will ever doubt your predictions ever again. Loser gets relegated to PrinceXizor status, in the Hall of Shame for poor predictions and bad foresight. Some Riot Graves and Chrome Rammus codes thanks to gtrsrs.
How to Play?
- Choose 6 players, one from each position and a wildcard of any kind. When they perform well and put up stats, they score you points. - The owner with the most points at the end of the group stages will be crowned champion and shall receive massive bragging rights throughout the subforum. - The owner with the least amount of points at the end of the group states will be forever crowned in the Hall of Shame, joining the likes of Shikyo, PrinceXizor, and Jazriel.
To start, each participant is given a total of 36 total points to spend on players. With these points, you may assemble any group of Top,Jungle,Mid,Support,AD and an additional wildcard player that falls within the salary cap. For tiebreaker purposes, you must select a captain in case there are ties at the end of the season. The captain with the highest amount of points will win the tiebreak. No trading will be allowed, and your team will carry you to the end of group stages.
The players have been assigned point values based on my arbitrary rankings. There is no logic behind how I have assigned point values. You'll just have to deal with it.
Banking on my prediction that both Faker and Imp go ham like crazy in groups. Pick Pooh over Mata so that I wouldn't have too much hope invested on Ozone's botlane. Went with Alunir so that I could get a second support in Xpecial for my wildcard since supports get that OP KDA (and after Vulcun's shitty playoff performance I decided that Xpecial was a safer choice).
Oh crap, some of them are pretty expensive. SKT are expected to smash their group so they could give a bunch of points, however group B sounds less one-sided and thus better for safe picks I guess? Picking non-SKT in group A for sub-6 guys is taking risks.
Top: sOAZ - 6 Jungle: Kaigu - 2 Mid: Alex Ich - 7 AD: Genja - 5 Support: Coma - 5 Wild: Faker - 11 Total: 36 Pts
Captain Faker obv.
I had to take top and jungle from Vulcun to cram all the rest in there, it's gonna hurt a bunch if they get smashed. Alex should give a bunch of points from gpm just because he farms so much, Genja's kda is usually pretty acceptable (in terms of "not dying") although I don't expect him to shine, maybe Puszu would do better by virtue of being more aggressive. Took Coma instead of Mandu for the same issue with points.
Faker better pay for himself.
Fuck it, I'll switch it before Roffles closes the sign-ups. Tanking the jungle a bit to improve the rest. I would have went for Alunir so I could take Mandu, but considering which group he's in that'd just be asking for huge trouble, especially as the jungler is very easy to shutdown when he's team is behind, and if he's the kind to pick initiators that'd probably rack up deaths while dumpstering his gpm. Sorry Mandu, I failed you. But I'd rather have sOAZ and Coma than Dyrus and Mandu.

Pretty much. It's fun to look at what everyone picks and see the trends of "a bunch of mid-tier players so nobody terrible" and "stack as many godlike Koreans as possible". I'm so fucked if Mineski does well compared to Vulcun, what with relying on them not to suck and so many people using Mineski picks. Maybe I should have kept PoohManDu and taken a cheap jungler to accomodate for sOAZ top.
Holy shit it's impossible to have both faker and piglet. At least I got the most godly botlane in the entire tournament. I really have a hard time seeing any bot lane from the other group A teams contest with Piglet/Mandu. Just hoping for Fnatic to get through group stages now, going to be difficult but possible. As long as they can win against every team but Ozone (I don't have much hope for that), I can see it happen. Plus without Rekkles Fnatic isn't bot lane heavy.
Oh the benefits of stacking all the points into the star players without having to choose a sixth member whose statistics would most likely be detrimental to the team overall.
cool over dade is an interesting choice. would depend on how bad EU mid is compared to korean. if group b is a whitewash for ozone then i don't see cool making up the points against dade

I'm pretty confident in my lineup but the only thing that could really ruin it is if faker goes on a fucking rampage in groups considering all the people who have him as captain. Against most teams I'm hoping cool dumpsters them equally.

yea the majority of my team is from group B for this reason.
There's so many people hitting their supports in exchange for the higher mid/wildcard/jungle picks. I'm not entirely sure that will work out since deaths are quite costly. It's a cool idea, but I could never convince myself to take weaker supports due to how influential I feel the supports are. Then again, it might just be me overestimating a support's role in terms of fantasy drafting. Can someone who did this give me a different view on it and explain why they think it is an okay idea?
well, because supports don't have good gpm, unless their team wins in 20 minutes all the time and he gets a ton of tower gold. even if skt or ozone etc can do this, there's still not much sense in investing 6 points into a skt or ozone support, because doing so would probably mean you can't get the farm position guys on those teams.
then the bottom and mid level supports are not all that distinguished, marginal value from points invested in support is low/uncertain. there's no big upside play
I think ManCloud is undervalued at 5 as he is arguably NA's best mid laner ATM. I like yellowstar at 3 and fnatic's bot lane went fine at gamescom. Xmithie's style I think will translate well to the international scene and I like him as slightly undervalued at 4 points.
Piglet is my SKT player and I am betting on a disparity in the quality of Korea's botlanes vs everyone elses.
Dade as Wildcard player. This would have been faker but I couldn't justify a 3 point price difference.
Dyrus is my really questionable pick. He usually does well on TSM but I think can collapse under pressure. But he fit for his cost.
Team 4KoR Top: Homme - 8 Jungle: Xmithie - 4 Mid: Dade - 9 (Captain) AD: Zuna - 3 Support: Mandu - 6 Wild: Mata - 6
Thanks gtrsrs for the skins, though I dunno why one isn't delivered to my inbox. Also, I nominate DarthPunk for "Can't Math HoS." Dade is 9 not 8, and your team cost 37 even with Dade "8".

Welcome to the team I haven't watched anything for the past few months. I heard Mandatorycloud and Mata are good, the rest were chosen based on their EUW soloQ performance.
With how many points you get with the GPM multiplier, spending more than 1 point in supports is a waste since they'd have to have 20 more assists and 5 more kills in average to get past the other laners in points.
I feel like if the support role had a 1-10 rating and a x1.4 multiplier to their score you'd have had more diversity in the picks

You have to remember to pick a support who won't die 1,000,000 times and rack up a big negative score too.

Damn that was hard, lol. I believe in Faker carrying and then dying after carrying. In truth no other combo can add up to 36 and realistically, in my mind, get me the worst points possible. I'll just hope everyone steals Faker's kills. ;___;

That's hilarious. They've been called out multiple times, and always have an excuse not to participate in whatever it is. This may be for fun, but I don't think either of them would step up for it. I don't even think they venture outside the LoL general discussion thread in this section, as they provide the most attention for their ideas.

I didn't math it out. I guessed the Assist points weren't so great, but I was mostly afraid of the death penalties in terms of supports. As I was making the choices, that's the only thing I really thought about in terms of supports. I can imagine the lower ends of supports purposely play in a style which gets them killed for trades while the higher level supports would avoid it.
Also, I didn't want to pick up Faker as he severely limits the amount of choices you may have. Similar issues with the Korean ADs.

Technically if you swap out your wildcard with the guy you picked in the position he occupies, he's not the wildcard anymore. So there's no reason he can't be your captain.
Oh, before the games begin, anti team for the minimum points using the full 36. Top: Darien - 6 Jungle: Cyanide - 6 Mid: Reginald - 4 - AD: San - 7 Support: Coma - 5 Anti-Captain! Wildcard: Gogoing - 8
My entire strategy revolves around praying that my shitty supports don't feed too hard and the rest of the good players I picked will put the team on their backs

Inspirro is stealing points from me that savage. I could substitute a bag of flaccid dicks for him and it would be more effective. Hopefully Dade can pick up his game and Cool continues to carry to bring my team back into respectability.
It felt so weird, having sOAZ and Kaigu on my team. I kinda wanted it to finish asap because Kaigu's gpm dropped as soon as they were locked inside their base, with Corki and Orianna farming. A bunch of sOAZ's deaths were to Kaigu and vice-versa, so it could have been way worse, however it also meant more assists for XPeke and Puszu who were picked pretty often, so still a loss for me overall. Hm.
Thought-process regarding my Genja pick: "He usually doesn't die too much, even though he doesn't make huge plays, and he likes to farm. Alex Ich+Faker is expensive, I need to take people who won't make me "lose" points now, he sounds safe. Later: "Yeah, but... on the other hand it's such a safe move. It's like a "don't get last" move, if I want to get a good standing I should have been greedie, in retrospect this is a bad pick." After Day 1's games: "Wtf. o_o"
I don't think I'm gonna cling on that 4th spot though, sweet as it is. :<

He was a Thresh (lantern) supporting an Ezreal against TSM. Logical response: target the support every single trade/gank bot for a free kill and to force the AD back anyway. Kinda showed on his kda.

From what I can see
The OMG vs SKT game really hurt piglet and faker. Being pretty much the most expensive picks possible, they really aren't carrying their own weight. For people who took both of them, it's a real bummer(insert QQ here).
Surprisingly enough, Mineski players actually have extremely high cost effectiveness despite getting rolled.
ADC's appear to be VERY undervalued, while midlaners seem to be overvalued(lol yume).

Mineski best slot filler.
I thought taking Mineski players would be a gamble, and it's so humbling to see how Tgee has turned out to the best choice out of any of the players I've taken in terms of cost efficiency. If someone told me that Bengi would be one of the worst performing junglers two days into the tournament just a couple of days ago, I would have laughed in their faces.
You have failed me for the last time, Tabzz and Mata. Captain Regi, ready up your beast of a top laner and don't let him be camped so that my fantasy team doesn't suffer further. You're the shot caller now, CEO Regi.

For all the shit I've given Kaigu's play against Vulcun he's pretty cost-effective, duh. ôo
Dropping from 4th to 12th when only Coma (well, Pomelo) and Faker are going to play tomorrow doesn't bode well for my standing, esp. considering how many other people have the latter. If he does well, Piglet probably will too so I'm kinda screwed anyway. Gambit hurt me really harshly with their utter collapse against Fnatic, and sOAZ is the worst of the team, with a well under-average "average points/cost" ratio even across the whole roster. The way he participated in almost none of his team's kills despite being present at most teamfights in the game against Ozone is making him really heavy. Considering that the reason why he didn't crash too much is that game vs Gambit that hurt my team more anyway because of Genja almost negative and Alex Ich transparent...
Man, so my two filler Mineski picks are really doing well. Exo & Kaigu ftw! Now, hopefully Mithy and Impact don't suck balls today. Thank god for San & Faker though, they are carrying hard and hopefully keep it up.

Yeah, you could be me at 79th. T_T
Also, do we know yet where the PX/Jazriel cutoff is? Is it just everyone who doesn't win or is there a number threshold?
Ya Pomelo and Kaigu, the two players I picked because I wanted to make up points, are doing the most for my team in terms of cost-efficiency, while sOAZ, for whom I sacrificed other roles, is doing jack shit.
Now I just need Genja to pick up the slack after Gambit gave Puszu a free ride to omwtfbs cost-efficiency. :<
Current stats There are some standout picks right now. San and puszu for ADC both have VERY high pts/game as well as pts/cost. Ghandi being the only person without either inside the top 10 is proof of just how good they are right now. For the relatively low price of 7 / 5 at the very start, they have made every point worth it.
For midlane, there are 4 picks who give a similar amount of fantasy points. But looking purely at cost effectiveness, you have to wonder if midlaners were overpriced or if they simply aren't performing. 62 people picked faker, including me. While he has been performing, getting 66.53 points, he is not living up to the 11 point cost hype, being tied for second lowest cost effectiveness among midlaners, only beating the underperforming dade. With regi holding the highest points/cost for midlane outside Mineskibottom feeders by a healthy margin, those who spent big on midlaners have to be kicking themselves.
Junglers - Not much to look at here. Those who invested in a more expensive jungler are absolutely not seeing returns, with the vast majority having both poor cost effectiveness and relatively poor point return, with only oddone and the two bottom feeding junglers having good return. When you look at GPM points, they are only 50gpm above support.
Supports - Surprisingly effective buys on a lot of teams. With Yellowstar Voidle and Tgee having very good 3.0+ points per game, they provide excellent filler for the underappreciated role. But those who picked a support starting with M have to be disappointed. With barely above a 1pt/cost return, these were poor choices for certain. But there is a worse pick. With the distinguishing feature of being the only player to have a negative rate of return, Inspirro has somehow managed to lose 1.48 points per game. Not a lot of points in the grand scheme of things, but definitely a surprise, and a candidate for most useless player award.
Top - With the prevalence of 2v1, and the associated dives often putting them behind, and the island of 1v1, you'd be a fool to have invested heavily in a top laner. With even the best top laners achieving only 1.86(outside Mineski and GG.eu) cost effectiveness, even though the most expensive tops have had good games, they simply aren't getting the kills and assists to have warranted large investments.
Surprising buys Mineski players. Holding the highest cost effectiveness in many categories, they are by far the most effective filler picks. Everybody except Exo have above 3.0 points/cost and while they may be bottomfeeding, they are picking up plenty of points for those who chose them.
Disappointments The most expensive players were by far the worst to pick. Taking up valuable budget space, at the end of the day, you can only ace the enemy team so many times before you win. Faker would need 400+GPM, and 17 points outside that to even break 2.0 points/cost/game. Pretty much all ozone players and SKT players are bad unless you had spare budget space to fit them in. While SKT has provided good points/game, in terms of effectiveness there are a lot of better options.
Going forward, for any future fantasy leagues - Invest big in cheaper ADC's on winning teams(or wait for Roffles to correctly balance them). - There are only so many kills and assists in a game. Even with perfect play it's hard to win so slowly that you can rack up massive amounts of kills. - Spending big on support, top and jungle are terrible ideas. These roles are often sacrificial, and in the current meta also tend to neither get as much farm, nor as many kills and assists.
Aw man, from 6th to 37th! 5 of my 6 players havent played their third day though so it's fine...I'm still ahead of Scumbag Cheep and hopefully TSM manmodes it tomorrow. :D

No player worth more than 9, probably drop most of the top laners by 1, ADC's on winning teams should be 8 or 9.
Thing is, there are only so many kills and assists before you win a game.
Fnatic has 1 more match vs Gambit and mineski, so I expect Puszu, Yellowstar and Soaz to score a lot more points because Mineski should be a stomp and Gambit even if they lose should be fairly close.
What's deciding for the top3 should be group A, especially SkT vs OMG. I saw a few guys up there have Loveline, cool and co. whereas I chose the korean ways of Skt T1.

Position wise, kill/asist values for supports should be swapped and equalized for junglers. Junglers and Supports should get a multiplier on their GPM due to gold flow.
Either that or discount the positions in general. Right now you're better off picking players on a good support's team for stat padding than buying good support play in general.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's clear very few of us put enough thought into this. T_T
The only thought I put into it was that I didn't want Faker since so many people had him as their mid. Jungle picks are pretty worthless with current scoring. I wasted 8 points on bengi, and wildcard on xmithie gg.
Welp. Faker getting focused (and derping) while Piglet is left unchecked even when he has 5 more kills and 50 more cs than Faker is... not good for me.
26th -> 42nd, worst fall so far. Gone are the days of my top 5 standing. :<
So I guess I'll take pride in being 2nd going into the last day, since there's no way in hell I place top 5 after that Peke performance, especially with him still having a game against Mineski.
I guess I should've went all-in on Fnatic. Cool/Pomelo will have to really pad their stats tomorrow in order for me to have any chance seeing as kickboxer also has imp.

Why wouldn't it? It's a valid part of the group stages.
If the ratings were not cumulative, and were calculated as points per game, I would totally agree with you. Why should teams that failed to secure their play-off spots within eight games be rewarded more than teams that did manage to do so? If the results of each games were averaged out according to the number of games, not added cumulatively, it would make much more sense in my opinion.
They should not count for sure. Roffles played enough fantasy sports to know this, at least I would hope so. Just because Valve was stupid and did it for TI3 doesn't mean it's a good idea!
Seems as if Lolesports site is like dead atm. None of the games after Ozone vs Mineski have after-game stats up and everything seems broken. Will update when they get posted.
Also, should have a bracket stage up tomorrow around mid-day.

I've considered it, but I'd like to keep it similar to this one I'm using now, just changes to costs for better balance. If the formats keep changing, people just get confused.
Results have been tallied. The final scores are in!
Coming in at first is Kickboxer, with a final score of 718.7 points. Kickboxer's team of Soaz, Cyanide, Xpeke, Imp, Yellowstar, and Zuna featured 3 of the highest scoring players in each position (Jungle, Mid, Support), which alongside a solid performance from Soaz and Imp helped him secure first place.
Honorable mention goes to Xlep with his team of Sycho Sid, Bengi, Xpeke, Puszu, Yellowstar, and Dandy that combiend for a total of 710.2 points for a very close second place.
And at the bottom, joining the likes of PrinceXizor and Shikyo in the Hall of Shame, we have oneofthem, who with his team of Snoy, Kaigu, Faker, Imp, Tgee, and Dade managed to secure only 429.94 points, a solid 9 points below the runner up.
Highest single point game: Gogoing (OMG vs TSM) - 12/0/22, 452 GPM, 40.53 Fantasy Pts Lowest single point game: Dyrus (OMG vs TSM) - 0/10/1, 270 GPM, -5.65 Fantasy Pts
Stay tuned, Bracket Stage Fantasy game will be up in a few hours. You'll have until the start of Fnatic/C9 matches on Monday to submit a team.
Thanks to everyone who played this. Let me know if you have additional feedback on what could be improved.

Cool. 154.29 pts. About 15 less than Xpeke.
And as for inflation, super inflated, as Xpeke put up pretty ungodly stats those games. If it weren't for those super inflated games, he'd probably have been second.
Stats are on the spreadsheet linked in the OP if you're curious.
