Brazy Party Fantasy game open to play

The fantasy game for the $333,000 online event is now live with skin prizes.

Brazy Party 2023 is set to start on April 26, and accompanying it will be another HLTV.org Fantasy game. The HLTV x Roobet league will grant the three top-placed users skin prizes and contribute to the Spring season leaderboard.

The event will feature four GSL groups culminating in a single elimination best-of-three playoff bracket. The team list is headlined by two top ten teams in Cloud9 and ENCE, with IEM Rio quarter-finalists BIG also among the invitees. paiN, OG, and Astralis are also in the wider pool of favorites at the event, considering the trio resides in the top 20 of the world rankings.

An important point to note is that several players' prices have been adjusted for the Fantasy game. Among them are Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov, Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz, and Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer, who have been reduced by $4,000, while Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov has been increased by $2,000.

nafany tops the board as the most-picked player

Cloud9 unsurprisingly lead the way as the team with the most-picked players. Vladislav "⁠nafany⁠" Gorshkov ($186,000) and Timur "⁠buster⁠" Tulepov ($192,000) are the top two on the list, providing budget options from a team that is expected to go all the way in the tournament, while Ax1Le ($227,000) takes eighth place on the list.

OG and ENCE both have two players in the top eight, with Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan ($202,000) and Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas ($185,000) representing the former. Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer ($187,000) and Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García ($213,000) are the popular ENCE picks.

Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne ($192,000) rounds out the list of the most popular players as users bank on BIG continuing their good IEM Rio form and their reputation as one of the most successful teams of the online era.

If you are looking for less popular picks, paiN and 9INE provide some decent options, given their recent showings. Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros ($216,000) comes into the tournament off the back of a 1.41 rated performance at the Americas RMR, while Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz ($214,000) put up a 1.31 rating in the Poles' 3-0 European RMR campaign.

The HLTV x Roobet league will have the following skin prizes:

1. Hydra Gloves | Mangrove (Field-Tested)
2. AWP | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested)
3. M4A1-S | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested)
