Teams

Things to note


• With the third-place decider included, it makes it crucial to predict the outcome of the quarter-finals, because a win in that match will guarantee two more matches.

• But in a single-elimination bracket, it’s crucial to consider not only the opening series, but the bracket run as well. With that in mind, Spirit become a much more valuable team to choose from as they have the bottom three teams ranking-wise on their side of the bracket.

Player prices & pick stats

• After being the game-winning pick in the group stage and with the bracket opponents in mind, Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets boasts a hefty $250k price-tag. Whether he or his teammates (some of whom also received substantial bumps) are viable considering what budget picks you’re forced to get is up to you, but it seems he's not as popular as in the group stage.

• Notably, Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov goes for slightly less than in the group stage at $198k after posting a 0.80 rating in the group stage despite a 3-0 score. He's currently the most-picked player, followed by Sodbayar "⁠Techno⁠" Munkhbold.

• Breno "⁠brnz4n⁠" Poletto and Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer are the cheapest players in this Fantasy, and it’s your last chance to bet against them, with this game being the last one to feature the Chicken Out booster.
