Fantasy game for European Development Championship 5 live with skin prizes

Alongside ranking points for the $10,000 Fantasy season, the best-placed users in the game will win skins provided by Parimatch.

The European Development Championship 5 is set to kick off on Wednesday, August 18, with 16 teams fighting for the $30,000 prize pool. Two weeks of action start with GSL groups, from where the eight best will advance to a single-elimination playoff bracket.

Will dream3r continue his strong form in EDC 5?

The format and the group draw will play a big part in selecting players for the European Development Championship 5 Fantasy game, sponsored by Parimatch.

Some might be dissuaded from AGO and SKADE members as two of the strongest teams are placed in group B, but with the other two teams there not on the same level, Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas and Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov could prove to be good picks as they are likely to reach playoffs. Players that go deep into the tournament will have more chances to rake in points and will avoid the penalties incurred after elimination.
