Player prices

- 3DMAX players inheriting BetBoom prices created some interesting deals. Most notably, Graviti goes for nafany’s price of $175K, which is a great deal since, for example, in Skyesports fantasy Graviti went for $190K. At the same time, Maka goes for $211K with 1.24 rating in the last 3 months while also being a sniper.

- The fantasy game was created before BLAST Fall Groups started, with, most notably, Liquid players' prices not being adjusted for their on-server performance.

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

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