PGL Major Antwerp 2022 playoffs Fantasy game now open to play

Participate in the last edition of the HLTV Fantasy game for the Major.

After almost two weeks of competition, eight squads have secured their spot in the playoffs of the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. The remaining team are now set to tackle a classic single elimination bracket starting on Thursday to claim the lion's share of $1,000,000 and the prestige brought by the first Valve-sanctioned event of the year.

With the knockout stage set to begin, the last edition of the HLTV Fantasy game has also gone live, allowing players to compete in the HLTV x BitSkins league as well as several other public and private leagues for prizes and bragging rights.

Similarly to the Legends stage, the playoffs Fantasy game has seen FaZe dominate the popular picks with Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen ($175,000), Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants ($218,000), and Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard ($199,000) all being picked by more than 3500 users. Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool ($215,000) is also not far behind as participants predict a deep playoff run by the international squad.

Natus Vincere currently rocks three entries in the top picks as Valeriy "⁠b1t⁠" Vakhovskiy ($215,000) and Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy ($191,000) claim the top two spots with more than 6000 picks each. Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev once again displays the highest price tag of the game at $252,000.

Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi ($217,000) is the only competitor outside of Natus Vincere or FaZe in the eight most picked players list after a fantastic journey at the major. The Israeli rifler accumulated a 1.28 rating over the Challengers and Legends Stage and will face Copenhagen Flames in the quarter-finals.
