BeepImaJeep Wins Four FBWC Seats in Six Days
Winning one qualifier to a million dollar live final event in DFS is a huge accomplishment for any grinder, as it means taking down a field full of players building lineups with a sole focus on hitting first place and winning that ticket. A majority of the people who play in qualifiers regularly don’t ever find victory and earn their spot at a live final.
So it should go without saying that winning two qualifiers is an even bigger accomplishment, one we usually only see out of the full-time players who grind all season for a chance at the huge payday that a live final offers. Winning more than two is a huge task, and very rarely would a player ever reach a point where their number of entries needed to be limited by the site’s rules.
Which is why it’s beyond incredible that BeepImaJeep has hit the qualifier maximum for the DraftKings Fantasy Baseball World Championship before the end of May with five seats earned, and has done so with one of the craziest heaters we’ve seen in DFS history. To make his accomplishment even more ridiculous, he earned his last four seats over the span of six days, including a streak of three qualifications in a row.
He won his first qualifier earlier in the season, and then began his run from one seat to five on the 15th of May. That night, he barely squeaked out a victory on a fairly chalky evening thanks to Miguel Cabrera’s big night at the plate. His next seat would come on the 17th, when Shelby Miller’s near no-hitter and a Rays stack that no one else in the qualifier was on earned him a 16-point victory. The third seat was earned on the 18th thanks to a Tigers stack that included Rajai Davis, who no one else in the qualifier had, despite other Detroit bats seeing a decent level of ownership. And the final seat came on the 20th, as a Cardinals stack no one else was on combined with off-the-board pitching selection Roenis Elias earned a huge win by 25 points.
This gives him five chances to improve upon last year’s showing at DK’s live MLB final, where he finished second to million-dollar winner @CSURAM88, earning $300,000 in the process.
Jay is currently ranked in the top-50 in our Grinders Rankings, and top-10 in the Tournament Player of the Year. He’s qualified for several live events in the past, and has been a fixture atop the TPOY list for the past few years (He finished sixth last year). But this accomplishment may top all of the others, as qualifying for a live final with such a high success rate is something we’ve never really seen before in DFS.
