IEM Rio and ESL Challenger Atlanta fantasy games are open to play.

IEM Rio Group Stage

Format

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

- This Fantasy game only includes the group stage.

- Two double-elimination groups with three teams advancing to the playoffs.

- Opening matches are BO1, all of the rest are BO3.

- Teams that reach the upper bracket finals get one round of padding.

Things to note


- Since this game only includes the group stage, you’re more free to consider teams that are not guaranteed to make playoffs, even though the winners are always at an advantage.

- It’s naturally harder to trigger boosters at opening BO1 matches and it’s worth considering. But whether you go for a booster with 85% or 15% average trigger rate is up to you!

Prizes


- On top of season points there are skin prizes, brought to you by Chicken.GG:

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

ESL Challenger Atlanta 2024

Format

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

- Two-team GSL group stage, four-team single-elimination playoffs.

- Opening and winners’ matches are BO1, all the other games are BO3.

Things to note


- Normally it’s harder to earn off a player going through the lower bracket due to padding, but upper final winners will get only 50% of rating points for both of their games, putting teams that qualify through the lower bracket at a relative advantage.

- Since playoffs are included in this game, try to avoid assembling a team in which two pairs of your players will meet each other in the semi-finals, even though this will not be as significant in this event.
