RG Preview for the Elite 100 Final
The FanDuel Elite 100 Qualifiers have been wrapped up and all that’s left is for a few very high-rolling players to invest over $1000 each in one of the final spots. After that goes down, the grand finale will take place this Friday, August 31st, at 7 PM. There were 90 players who qualified through a satellite tournament in this one-of-a-kind tournament that only allowed one entry per contest and created an even playing field for all. These players have earned their right to be called Elite FanDuel stars and now will battle it out for a chance at the $20,000 first place prize.
Qualifiers ran from July 20th until the beginning of this week each and every day. Thousands of players worked to prove they belong in the category of the FanDuel Elite and 90 total seats were earned. The value of one of these FanDuel Elite 100 seats was $1,070 with a first place prize of $20K you had a chance to turn $2 into $20,000. This is an incredibly rare opportunity in daily fantasy, especially one that truly tested the skills of the best players because there was a maximum one entry-per-player in each qualifier.
