This startup wants to turn your League of Legends’ e-sports fandom into cash

Here’s your new obsession: League of Legends daily fantasy sports.

A new website called AlphaDraft is set to launch Monday, and it plans to offer daily League of Legends fantasy leagues set up to look a lot like DraftKings and FanDuel. This free service will enable you to put real money into matches in which you draft players for a day’s or weekend’s worth of games. This means that if you follow the League of Legends scene, if you know the competitors’ names and how they perform in different situations, you could turn that into cash. When AlphaDraft launches next week, it’ll first offer only virtual points for wagering, but it will shift to using a combination of real money and points as it works out any issues.
