DreamHack Open Anaheim Fantasy recap

With DreamHack Open Anaheim done and dusted, we take a look at the best performing players and announce the cash prize winners of the 1xBet-sponsored league.

Gen.G had an impressive LAN debut in Anaheim, where the US-based team demonstrated a flawless map record, but only one player in Sam "⁠s0m⁠" Oh was featured as a top-two fantasy player, with FURIA's Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos in first and Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato in third.

All top three contestants of the HLTV x 1xBet League picked yuurih and Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev for their fantasy teams, but what set apart the top two from third place was the selection of KSCERATO. The winner of the DreamHack Open Anaheim fantasy, stalker1298, picked the Gen.G duo of Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta and s0m, Complexity's main AWP and the game-changing FURIA duo.

HLTV x 1xBet League winners:

1. stalker1298 (593) - $150
2. HRhuffnstuff (576) - $75
3. kumis_power (548) - $25

Winners will be contacted via the email they have attached to their HLTV.org account. To be eligible for prize redemption, users are obligated to reply to the email within a month.

As outlined prior, FURIA's players dominated the fantasy league, with three players featured in the top six of best performers:

1. Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos: 131points
2. Sam "⁠s0m⁠" Oh: 113 points
3. Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato: 108 points
4. Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev: 89 points
5. Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo: 82 points
6. Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles: 65 points
7. Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen: 65 points
8. Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta: 56 points
9. Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan: 43 points
10. Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand: 38 points

The optimal fantasy lineup for the event was identical to stalker1298's selection, however a few additional points could have been scored had the Czech opted for the following roles for his players:

Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos as Stathunter (150 points)
Sam "⁠s0m⁠" Oh as Headshot Machine (138 points)
Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato as Defender (127 points)
Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev as Main AWP (109 points)
Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta as Leader (81 points)
Maximum total points: 605

Prominent community figures organised fantasy leagues of their own for Anaheim, with Gaules' "Liga da Tribo" standing at no less than 1859 participants. It was Dekay's Discord that topped the charts in the highest average points department, however, as the 33 participants average an impressive 214.91 points.

Thank you for participating and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming fantasy events!
