This Week In Fantasy: DFS Tout DraftKings Showdown, Awesemo vs. EmpireMaker2 | 10/22

This Week In Fantasy we’re taken down the fascinating and dangerous trail to a land known as DFS Twitter, where Tout Wars rage at random, and bet shaming reigns supreme. But this war was to be different…earth-moving.

What began as an open betting offer by Blake “EmpireMaker2” Stevenson among top sports betting and DFS juggernauts was quickly met by the #1 Daily Fantasy Player in the World, Alex “Awesemo” Baker. But that was just the beginning.

I literally just offered anyone to bet me in any sport and haven't got one offer weird

Yes https://t.co/nugN5o10ug

This is the same dude who plays lineups duped with 2 other people in a 8 man gpp

It was then a Tout War began to brew, and what would a Tout War in 2020 be without the blessing of DraftCheat and Chris Randone?

My exact thoughts DC

Yeah I don’t want to insert myself in the middle of a beef between 2 goats. Just saying if it happened the people would love it is all

Yet what this would spawn would gradually spark wildfires across the DFS Twitter landscape, as touts from near and far would join in as bets with self-imposed juice would be rising from every direction.

The wagers with every participant are more than even the IRS could keep track of, but ultimately the big focal point is between Awesemo and EM2. The stage? DraftKings ThunderDome, and in the best of ten matches set in the DFS arena-of-arenas (at least when it comes to public buy-ins).

H2h cash is a lame prop bet because who cares if they can beat some copy paste lineup that everyone has? Let's talk Thunderdomes @EmpireMaker2 then I'm interested.

This dude thinks he's the shit but he doesn't know he's dust. But in the end money talks. We got a deal: 10 thunderdomes between MMA, PGA, and NFL. Whoever wins the most money wins an extra $50k. Who you got? https://t.co/p9CKtPSN7f

And EM2 began lashing in every direction…

The first day of the gauntlet of ten $5,300 Thunderdomes began with PGA in Thursday’s start of the ZOZO Championship, with wagers on the match itself (much of which entertained by EM2) and shit-talking every step of the way.

WHERE MY AWESOMO GAMBLERS AT?

— EM2 (@EmpireMaker2) October 21, 2020

Booked 500K

— David Mok (@MokLovin) October 22, 2020

Damn this shit is getting crazy. Lot of guys counting on me to pull out the W and I won’t disappoint https://t.co/6IQKi2037J

— Alex Baker (@AwesemoDFS) October 22, 2020

I guarantee you one thing if I win this challenge I'm buying a 500k car with the license plates saying TY NERDS

— EM2 (@EmpireMaker2) October 22, 2020

If I win I’m going to take my 50k to splurge and get the Honda Civic Hybrid instead of the base model. My license plate will read EMPIREINPROGRESS https://t.co/iWdaTkbS2T

— Alex Baker (@AwesemoDFS) October 22, 2020

Naturally, things happened along the way.

Looool had no clue the live gl final was today made 6 teams in 4 mins

— EM2 (@EmpireMaker2) October 22, 2020

Everyone's sims show me winning more money than @EmpireMaker2 in this Thunderdome. Unfortunately, the golfers haven't gotten the memo yet

— Alex Baker (@AwesemoDFS) October 22, 2020

After the end of day 1, @EmpireMaker2 has the slight lead over @AwesemoDFS! Still lots of 🏌️ left! LEGO!!! #draftkings https://t.co/jyFSd5jVgW pic.twitter.com/YYY5le3irz

The biggest October surprise so far is EM Dupe not having the same lineup as 3rd and Schlong in the Thunderdome this week

— Alex Baker (@AwesemoDFS) October 23, 2020

The battle continues into the weekend, when the PGA ZOZO Championship rounds to conclusion and Week 7 NFL DFS rolls into the afternoon. Stay tuned on Twitter.
