Big Events Breakdown: October 2nd, 2012

Another crazy weekend of daily fantasy sports with some incredible tournaments across the industry and some incredible players rising to the occasion to take them down. DailyJoust offered a SuperJoust IV qualifier for college football on Saturday followed by 2 more NFL qualifiers Sunday. DraftStreet opened up their DSFC tournament with a $22 and $109 qualifier. FanDuel’s FFFC continued on as well. All of that and MUCH more inside, let’s get to the breakdown.

| 9 | gotcha | 174.66 | $150 |
| 10 | ferozfan | 174.56 | $125 |
Winning Lineup:
Matty Ice and Beast-mode lead the first non-Grinder to qualify in the $10 FFFC Event. Grinder xfearxthexreaperx was able to come in second, though. Btrain71 was led by big scores from the running back position including sleeper play Michael Turner. At the end of the day, the Falcons rocked the soft Panthers defense and the Ryan/Turner duo pushed Btrain to the top of the pack. Big games from Decker, Green and Jackson didn’t hurt either!
- $270 Qualifier: NFL Week 4

| 5 | philtheez | 152.36 | $375 |
Winning Lineup:
Swiftywon indeed. Congrats to him on taking down the $270 qualifier behind an unlikely performance from Kevin Kolb! AJ Green, Demaryius Thomas and LeSean McCoy all played a role in taking down first as well.

| Williams, Ryan | 3.1 |
| Nelson, Jordy | 19.3 |
| White, Roddy | 32.9 |
| Witten, Jason | 23.7 |
| Bears | 20.5 |
The first DSFC qualifier, and earning a trip to the live finale in Vegas, is TEAM SLEEP Team Sleep hit on most of his picks and proved that it doesn’t take total perfection to win the big ones. Brady, Rodgers, Roddy and Ridley carried him throughout Sunday but he still needed SERIOUS help from his two remaining slots. Jason Witten, listed at an incredibly low $4K last week, and the Bears defense. Well TeamSleep must have been going bananas as the Bears D brought back two touchdowns and Witten CRUSHED the final drive of the game behind QB Kyle Orton and scored the TD to propel TeamSleep to victory.
- $109 Qualifier: NFL Week 4

Much like the $22 qualifier, a Grinder KingDevo won, and Jason Witten helped him get there. That final drive must have been absolute heartbreak for some of the runner-ups and complete euphoria for KingDevo. Congrats!
