Everything you need to know about the IEM Rio playoffs fantasy game

The IEM Rio Playoffs are set, and so is HLTV's fantasy game.

IEM Rio 2024 - Playoffs

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

Format

- Six-team single-elimination bracket.

- Quarter-finals and Semi-finals are BO3, Grand final is BO5.

- FURIA and HEROIC start from the semi-finals; the rest start from the quarter-finals.

Teams

Things to note


- Since FURIA and HEROIC skipped the first round, players from these teams get 6 points by default.

- The Chicken Out booster might come in handy since both semi-final teams are underdogs; therefore, Damjan "⁠kyxsan⁠" Stoilkovski, for example, might guarantee a total of 6 points if you expect HEROIC to be eliminated straight away.

- The grand final is BO5, so getting players who will reach the grand final is even more critical as it will provide 25% more rating points.

Player prices

- Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut is more affordable than usual at $230,000, which is why he’s fifth-most picked player in the game. Another player to have a 1.5+ rating performance at the event so far is Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato, and he goes for just $216,000, which could be a great pick if you believe FURIA to continue their run of form.
