mir is on every third IEM Katowice Playoffs Fantasy team

The IEM Katowice Fantasy game continues in the tournament's final stage.

mir's price is a big incentive for many players

IEM Katowice 2025 Playoffs

Format

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

- Six-team single-elimination bracket.

- Natus Vincere and Vitality start from Semi-finals.

- Quarters and semis are BO3, grand final is BO5.

Teams

Things to note


- Natus Vincere and Vitality players get 6 points each for skipping the quarter-finals.

- The grand final will deliver 25% more rating points to players.

Player prices

- Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov, being a replacement for Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" Marev, is the cheapest player in the game at $175,000, which makes picking him a good opportunity to use the Chicken Out booster and guarantee -6 points unless Virtus.pro pull off a massive upset against Spirit.

- Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş’s price was kept in accordance with the original calculation despite his teammates receiving a boost, which was done in part to better reflect the players’ performances in the most recent games.

- Despite a hefty total price of $424,000 and the possibility of playing Natus Vincere in the semi-finals, Spirit’s "chonk" duo remains relatively popular with a quarter of teams featuring the pair.

Prizes


- Season points are on the line, as well as the following skin prizes courtesy of Chicken.GG:

1. Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Field-Tested)
2. Hydra Gloves | Mangrove (Field-Tested)
3. Hydra Gloves | Rattler (Field-Tested)

- LucyLuce makes her case to go against Spirit in this video dedicated to the IEM Katowice Playoffs Fantasy game.

as much as i like it for play-offs and short tourneis, it's a pretty stupidly broken booster that makes pick'ems much easier since you don't have to do 2-3 bad pick gambles to get 1-2 good ones, you just get a -6 in exchange for donk, zywoo, m0nesy, or w/e else you want. I couldn't agree more, it should be removed to make fantasy more interesting.

Why would anyone want to have guaranteed -6 points, I don't get it

otherwise you would get a much lower points due to bad perfomance. It's almost obvious that they will be deleted from server by the spirit team. And also his price is low and you can create a good team with remaining amount

it's not "guaranteed -6 points" it's an exchange of -6 points to get more good picks that can net you far more than +6 points....in example, let's say you pick mir with chicken + donk (410 budget, still 590 to get decent picks), if spirit completly destroys vp and lets say donk get some usual farm rating like 1.70 - 1.90 or even if it's not that high like 1.40, you are getting far more benefits from those -6 in just 1 match compared to picking 2 mediocre picks or gamble picks like for example: maj3r + magiix or zont1x and not getting many points because even in victory they might perform poorly.

Chonk duo is popular because Spirit playing in the quarterfinals so they have a good chance to get lots of points en route to the Grand Final. hltv.org/fantasy/507/league/185948/team/..

True, if they make it past NaVi it almost guarantees all Spirit pickers to be above Vita + NaVi pickers even if Spirit lose the final. And even if they don't make it past NaVi they still can bring enough points to not ruin your fantasy into the lower half

This just shows how flawed it is. Fantasy team but you always have to get the cheapest players and IGL's from the best teams.
