Things to note


- This fantasy game will award about 50% more season points than usual. The distribution is as follows:

Top 1% - 38
Top 5% - 27
Top 10% - 23
Top 20% - 18
Top 30% - 15
Top 40% - 12
Top 50% - 9
Top 60% - 6
Top 70% - 3
Top 80% - 2

- Just like in the Opening Stage, there are no extra decider rounds and therefore there will be a smaller effect from padding earned by teams advancing early: two rounds worth of padding for 3-0 teams and one round for 3-1 teams.

Player prices

- Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz of HEROIC had one of the more noticeable price adjustments: he was lowered from 230k to 215k. Still, not many seem to have faith in HEROIC as he features on only 2% of the total teams.

- Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets, Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov, and Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut have again been priced the same at $230k. The prices of all three differed in the automatic calculation, with the Frenchman having the greatest value, according to our system.

- All IGLs have received some form of price bump to account for the team points they’re likely to earn, with Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski getting a 20% bump, which was significantly higher than the other top six IGLs (10-15%). The G2 captain is the third most-picked IGL, featuring on 17% of the teams.
