EPL Groups A & B go live in a single fantasy game

The first of three EPL fantasy games is now open, with GET Rio as a partner game.

ESL Pro League Season 19 - Groups A & B

Format

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

- Two, eight-team double-elimination groups with a Last Chance stage.

- All matches are BO3.

Teams

Things to note


- Unlike previous EPL games, the first fantasy game of Season 19 includes Groups A & B together. This happened for several reasons:

1. The first and the second pair of groups are now played simultaneously.
2. We wanted EPL to have more adequate weight in terms of Season points and award less than the Major (it used to be 66% more points for EPL than the Major, now it’s 25% less with the increased Major points).
3. This way, Fantasy participants are also presented with more opportunities for combinations of players and teams.

- Due to the above, you can pick players from both groups.

- electroNic will play for VP at EPL and goes for $212K. This will be his first event with the team, but a rather smooth transition is expected as far as roles are concerned.

- Padding works as follows:

- Teams that reach the UB finals get padding points for skipping three rounds (LB Semi-finals, 6-7th place decider, and 4th place decider).
- The winners of the LB finals get padding points for skipping two rounds (6-7th place decider and 4th place decider).

Player prices


- The prices of ZywOo and m0NESY were lowered by 7%, but both still sport hefty price tags. To offset the expense you might need to pick from one of the underdog teams, where eight players are priced under $180K (with Snappi being one of them).

Prizes


- The users can count on both season points and skin prizes as follows:

1. Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Field-Tested)
2. AK-47 | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
3. AWP | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested)
