Fantasy: ESL Pro League S15 Group C game open

17/3/2022 - 11:46

The fantasy game for the third group of the tournament is now live with skin prizes.

With ESL Pro League now well underway, the Fantasy game for Group C has just been opened! Now is the perfect time to look at some of the best picks avaliable in the six team group and make the best team with the required $1,000,000 budget.

Due to ESL prohibiting organizations with ties to the Russian goverment taking part in the tournament, the Gambit roster will play as Players.

Nafany's troops will compete under the name Players

Some of the most popular picks so far have been players from teams that are widely expected to get through the round-robin group stage, with most people backing Players, Liquid and BIG, which is supported by the fact that all eight of the currently most popular players come from those three teams.

This means that Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov has risen to the top of the picked players at a price of $224,000, while the other fan favourites include Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische, Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski, Tizian "⁠tiziaN⁠" Feldbusch and Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic.

Another very popular pick is Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin, who has, combined with the Support role, long been a favourite of Fantasy users. His price of $189,000 enables you to get a stable performer and still have some budget left for some more expensive players such as BIG's Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann or his teammates Ax1Le and Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov, who all come in around the $220,000 price tag.

If you are looking for a wildcard, some players to consider are certainly the likes of GODSENT's latest additon Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles, Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon and the Movistar Riders duo of Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet and Alejandro "⁠mopoz⁠" Fernández-Quejo Cano, with all of them saving you some money with a price lower than $200,000.

An essential thing to note is the possibility of a player missing out on playing at the tournament due to a positive Covid-19 test and being replaced by a stand-in, so it is important to follow any roster announcements before the group starts and change your team accordingly.

The prizes for the HLTV x BitSkins League are as follows:

1. Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel (Field-Tested)
2. M4A1-S | Dark Water (Field-Tested)
3. USP-S | Dark Water (Field-Tested)

Aside from the event prizes, Fantasy players compete for the $10,000 season reward, with the top five currently being separated by just a few points:

1. Kermo 77 – 109 points
2. UnfriendlyV – 104 points
3. SV1 - 104 points
4. 1mage_x - 104 points
5. AlexDR19 – 102 points

Fantasy returns with $10,000 Spring season

Please take note of the Fantasy rules before competing as they provide important information regarding the prizes, eligibility, and selection of winners. Fantasy is free of charge and can be played in official HLTV leagues, as well as independently organized private and public ones.

Definitely. Even Gambit’s form will be hard to predict, let alone which of the other teams will show up.

Average team ranking Group A: 24,33 Group B: 9,5 Group C: 24,67 Group D: 41 On paper the true tier 2 group looks to be group D, but purely based on form this one might still be the toughest to pick a decent fantasy (BIG and GODSENT did awful on RMRs, Lulquid new and unproven, plus the geopolitical situation might still affect Players)

i really have no idea how to even begin calling this group, its by far the weakest yet its also the most random, i have no idea who is supposed to beat who or in what form anyone really is

I think it is far stronger than A and B. A had big names but a group with only 1 team that had a full lineup (except the underdog lfo). B also teams that are higher ranked as their real level atm.
