Europe RMR A - PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major

Format

· You can create your teams on the Fantasy page here.

· 16-team Swiss groups

· Matches are best-of-one until advancement and elimination matches, where they will be best-of-threes.

Teams

Things to note

· The last chance bracket is not included in this game and will not be covered by a separate fantasy game either.

· fnatic and Falcons's roster changes mean they enter the RMR without a Valve ranking, so are seeded at 15 and 16 respectively.

Player prices

· The prices of both Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş and Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov were lowered by $6K each, which makes it easier to fit them in as high-ticket items.

Europe RMR B - PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major

Poll on donk’s price

Using our normal formula, Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets's price would be so high ($270K+) that it would be next to impossible to make a team including him. Therefore, we will manually lower it — but it's the community that decides by how much.

When answering, consider that donk, even at $245,000, was the best value player in IEM Katowice's playoffs at $2076 per point. Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard, the second best, was far below at $3773.

That does not tell the full picture, however. Even with a 1.82 arena rating, donk's $245k price point limited options so much that all eight of the highest-ranked configurations last game did not include the Russian prodigy.

How expensive should donk be?

$245k

$250k

$255k

Bet on it

+1 Donk being harder to get means we will have more variety among everyone's teams

Which is better so why are you complaining?

I voted for 260k

5 replies

Well same. And that's what's winning but you +1'd #2 which wants the opposite? I'm not following lol

? I agree fantasy prices shouldn't be put to vote. That's why I voted for the largest of the options available

2024-02-12 17:57

Oh now I get it. But like everyone will always vote for the biggest nonetheless so it doesn't matter ?

2024-02-12 18:05

1 reply

I'm surprised by the result actually. I thought everyone would vote for the lowest option

2024-02-12 18:06

are you not able to read? +1 means community shouldnt be allowed to decide on fantasy prices, meaning donk would be at 270k

2024-02-12 19:40

donk + 4 igls inc

2024-02-12 17:38

Have to be Donk + 4 Bronze players. Averaging 80% with donk in the team is just boring

2024-02-12 17:49

flag doesnt checks out ??

Not generally but this is an exception because donk's price is difficult to estimate. Besides, this will benefit no one, it is same for everyone.

2024-02-12 18:33

2024-02-12 18:56

+1 people who want to get him will vote for 245k

2024-02-13 00:34

Donk is TOO GOOD for fantasy algorithm

It would be fair if no one can pick him .

2024-02-12 17:35

2024-02-12 20:27

nah cmon, don’t put 260k, literally going to be impossible to team craft here then :(

2024-02-12 17:31

You could just not pick donk. Fantasy is about taking calculated risks

2024-02-12 21:41

Nothing calculated about if if you literally cant pick Donk. There aren't 4 cheap enough players to get that 260k, if there are its the same 4 guys for everyone who wants Donk.

2024-02-13 00:19

There are more than enough cheap players in the RMR fantasies. Like in RMR A you have Alex at 169k, Snappi at 179k, Aleksi at 182k, etc. with something similar in RMR B you could still get Donk and a pretty decent ~210k player with the money you have left, or spread out the money and get 2 huNter- priced players at around 195k. There will be plenty of variation you could choose, trust.

2024-02-13 17:23

Price donk at $220k. 👍

2024-02-12 17:32

should be 143k, hes not even that good

Wasn't there once a game when fer was around 130k? I remember just about everyone picked him and 4 superstars. Was a fun game, since we could all splurge on a bunch of great players at once

2024-02-12 19:37

Nitr0 was around that price when he came back to liquid iirc. Remember seeing teams with both s1mple and zywoo in them lmao

2024-02-12 19:55

250

retards voting for 260k when he wasn't even in winning Kato teams for 245k

Flair

I know… so retard! He should be 240k imo to leave space for other players…

2024-02-12 18:03

+1 Several people called it when we saw his price to begin with...

2024-02-12 20:21

He was by far the best point per dollar even at 245k. Which is pretty wild. #1 donk 2076$ per point #2 rain 3773$ per point. Unluckily none of the cheap guys performed so donk pickers didn't win but cheap guys CAN perform. Siuhy did great on groups and majer/chopper did great on playins.

2024-02-13 00:24

Too much success too early, he'll burn out

2024-02-12 17:34

Too much hype- is a correct one, he won only kato, and people comparing him to multiple major winners , mvp's. LOL

2024-02-12 17:44

best debut of all time of any player at s tier lan, as well as best katowice run of all time. not even overhyped im afraid

2024-02-13 11:50

260k will make it almost impossible to have donk on the team.

Bro keep it 250k, 260k would in insane.

250k is fair but I wouldnt mind 260k

put 290k, i don't want donk abusers

Donk will expose anyway

2024-02-12 17:46

the question is whether it will be possible to assemble a team with him if he costs 260

I barely was able to put together a team wrn he was 245

2024-02-12 17:41

yeah but there will be much more teams and cheaper players in RMR

2024-02-12 17:50

A lot of teams at the rmr so you just gotta pick a few 170k-180k players from lower ranked teams. Pretty fair sacrifice I'd say

2024-02-12 17:52

W i want more polls like this, perhaps also give the public the ability to use these polls in forum posts. As for donks price, 250k would allow people to properly build a somewhat ok team along with him, but 260k would be impossible to win fantasy unless he went 2.00 for the entire rmr.

2024-02-12 17:39

look at rmr b, only vitality stronk oponent, but if they met in second round in bo1 vita can lose

which is good. people choosing him should be punished

2024-02-12 19:39

260k will be having Donk and 4 igls xD

2024-02-12 17:51

More like Donk and the bottom boys from Pera and Nexus gaming or whomever the last 2 teams are in the ratings. Voting anything on hltv is pretty wild tho, the site is known for trolling and baiting.

2024-02-13 00:30

260k donk abusers need to be nerfed a bit

Come on HLTV mates, 245k to make sense to pick him

why does everyone want donk for extremely cheap?

you can only buy scrap with the rest if donk is 260k. Even with 245 its gonna be hard finding anything. I mean i can buy magixx or zont1x and chopper but you kinda want to have "the man" too.

why can i not answer the poll

Maybe u created your account recently and it needs to be at least ''X'' months old

because of your flair, donkers can't vote as they are based

2024-02-12 20:56

Voting 245k so that I can put him on my team. He should be 260k+ though.

2024-02-12 17:59

$500k

2024-02-12 18:04

It depends on the prices of other players. But anything above $250K would be too much. That’s a quarter of the budget already and would require people to have 4 players with avg. price of 187.5K. Seems balanced, considering that similar rosters didn’t generate crazy points at Katowice Playoffs fantasy game.

2024-02-12 18:09

It should definitely be 250k literally no one will draft donk at 260k.

2024-02-12 18:11

Everyone vote 245k to get cheap donk

2024-02-12 18:13

I think prices should be capped to 150k and 250k, never more or less despite stats.

2024-02-12 18:17

I think the original 230k cap was pretty neat, should just make other star players cheaper if someone is too dominant at 230k I guess its really hard to balance tho and some players just need to be pushed towards unpurchasable to keep the game interesting.

ye i agree, donk, s1mple or zywoo at 230 only in certain events would've led everyone picking them

2024-02-13 10:33

I wouldn't draft him even at 245k, so whatever. Katowice playoff Fantasy top 200 consisted of minimal Donk drafts. 235k+ is a bad price for any fantasy player unless the lowest ranked/priced teams spring major surprises, which is highly unlikely.

2024-02-12 18:18

Am I the only one who doesn't like manual pricing at all? Just keep the default price based on stats for everyone so that it's actually reflective of the players.

It would be impossible to make a team with him if it was using their system.

2024-02-12 18:39

oh they manually lower it? I thought they manually increased it

Yes, thats why this poll was made, using their current system he would be over 270k for him ALONE. So they are letting the community decide how much he should be.

2024-02-12 18:40

Makes sense in this case. I still don't like the idea though. iirc they increased prices of some really cheap players that were being picked for example.

2024-02-12 18:41

Yea, I think they've done that last year, when hooxi was picked in almost every team.

260k is crazy. He should be 238-245.

2024-02-12 18:35

265

2024-02-12 18:49

No balls, should've made 150k an option

2024-02-12 18:52

C'mon all, vote 245 even if you don't believe it. Everyone deserves a donk on their team.

Free

2024-02-12 18:53

260 is craazy, you would have donk and 4 bot igls

Does it really matter tho? He will be very expensive whatever we vote and i dont think a team will Donk + 4 really bad players will win the fantasy anyways

2024-02-12 18:59

3k higher than zywoo

2024-02-12 19:10

Eh...I doubt that a winning fantasy roster will include donk regardless of poll result

2024-02-12 19:14

actually possible since alot of players are within 160k-180k

2024-02-12 19:33

RMR B fantasy prices arent out yet but on A group the cheapest was 172k and even on the "worst team wins" scoring I had to resort to someone costing 185k and 184k just because there aren't that cheap players.

2024-02-13 00:40

alex 169k

2024-02-13 21:24

$260k so crazy should be $245-250k

2024-02-12 19:27

I know there isnt a lot to go off of with him playing in tier 1 tourneys, but acting like someone is going to keep a 1.70 rating going is crazy to me.

2024-02-12 19:28

thats what they said going into playoffs :/

2024-02-13 07:04

I dont play, so i will just keep voting in the highest amount

2024-02-12 19:31

"· The prices of both Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş and Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov were lowered by $6K each, which makes it easier to fit them in as high-ticket items." and then donk goes 260k

2024-02-12 19:48

hltv hates donk

2024-02-12 20:57

Why are you voting for high prices? Price should be the lowest possible so we can farm free points.

2024-02-12 19:49

300k pls

260k is plain stupid While it will allow bad players to farm free points, no contender will be able to put him in their team because it will force to take way to bad players with him to make a team

2024-02-12 20:23

I abuse donk for easy top 10 on leaderboard, what to do now?

2024-02-12 20:43

Donk should have the highest price ever

I think 210k is fair. Capitalism like this is unfair

2024-02-13 00:20

260K.

2024-02-13 02:27

honestly anything over 250k would be kinda silly, you would need 4 IGLs (not even the good ones) to make budget

2024-02-13 06:25

Vote for the lowest price! Higher price for donk meaning you have to buy cheap IGLs to assemble a team if you insist to buy donk.

2024-02-13 07:49

you can't have him so high that no one teams have him because it's pointless him even being in the game. It would be like pricing Haaland and Salah at 20m in Fantasy Premier League

2024-02-13 08:14

why was the poll only a few hours? regarding donk: if someone wants a sure thing high fragger then they also have to take some low budget losers. donk cannot be a guarantee for best budget/point player so his prize has to go up even if noone takes him, but maybe he does not even have bad games so sure pick with 3 bronze players^^
