Fantasy game for IEM Summer 2021 playoffs goes live

Create a team and sign up for the HLTV x BitSkins Fantasy league for a chance to win skin prizes.

Six teams are left in competition for the IEM Summer 2021 title, with three days of playoff action scheduled for the upcoming weekend, June 11-13. Users can create their five-man Fantasy team from members of teams such as OG, G2, and Vitality and join leagues until the start of the first playoff match - Gambit vs. Evil Geniuses at 16:45 on Friday.

oBo has been a standout for Evil Geniuses

Despite a group-stage slip-up, Gambit remain favorites to claim the title, but their trio of Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov, Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov and Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov all come in for more than $230,000, making budgeting difficult. For G2, who have been rising in form over the last two months, Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač ($218,000) and Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač ($209,000) stand out, albeit François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay ($187,000) has provided immense value as the team's AWP.

Players under $200,000 that shouldn't be overlooked are Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier (1.29 group stage rating), Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev (1.13), and Owen "⁠oBo⁠" Schlatter (1.13), as all three have recorded an uptick in performance at this event.

The prizes for the official HLTV x BitSkins Fantasy league are as follows:

1. Gut Knife | Crimson Web (Field-Tested)
2. AK-47 | Bloodsport (Field-Tested)
3. AWP | BOOM (Field-Tested)
