New Fantasy booster starts with EPL Groups A and B

The new partner booster could allow for a greater choice of strategies.

The new booster, Chicken Out, is set to change the way Fantasy is played

New booster

Powered by the new Fantasy partner, Chicken.GG, we’re introducing a new booster — Chicken Out. By applying this booster, you can ensure the player of your choice will be guaranteed to receive 0 points for the match regardless of their rating, role, and winning team.

The intended application is to use it for players you expect to put up a bad performance and avoid getting negative points for the match of choice. But there’s a catch: if a player ends up earning points, you will still receive none, meaning you will need to be careful when using it. In some cases, it might be best to not use it.

We expect this booster to be especially useful in shorter events, particularly in single-elimination brackets. Overall, this change aims to make underdog picks more feasible and expand the range of available strategies. We’re yet to see how it will play out, so we will be monitoring the data and listening to feedback from the community to see how this addition affected the game.

ESL Pro League - Groups A & B

Format

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

Dude, they said in the article that they will monitor how this booster will affect Fantasy. Let's wait and see, don't call it "useless" yet.

check betboom fantasy, you can win with 2 players (donk, shiro and 3 noobs)

Kinda cheating, especially on cheap players. People will pick donk & ZywOo and compensate for ~170K players.

It's only a booster, i.e. for a single match. If you use it on a "notoriously" low rating player you will still get a lot of negative points for him from the other matches. HLTV did karigan kind of dirty with this one, they could have just given an example with no name attached to it.

When tier 3 teams play against Spirit or Vitality it can save you lots of points. Think of it as not 0, but as +20-30 points for a booster. And they will not necessarily lose points against next weaker opponents. Too op imo, any booster that gives you more than 5pts is too much.

We'll see. I think they said in the article (I am too lazy to read it again) that it is just on a trial basis, meaning that it might not stay if it might prove to be OP / game breaking, however you want to call it.

Not really, especially with this kind of format that EPL has got. Also, you can easily counter bad performance already with noob role and Cannon fodder or Bottom of scoreboard boosters.

You can use it on donk when he plays versus G2 in order to save your fantasy.

20-30 points for a booster is too much, the previous booster that allowed you to double the points both negative and positive was more balanced and universal while Chicken out is aimed only at bad performance.

Giving at least half of the earned points sounds a bit better for me instead of straight 0. But lets see first

it seems like a desperation booster, if your team is good enough you really shouldn't be using this
