CS:GO Slate Summary: DreamHack EU (8am EST)

3 games on DK and FD

Best of 3 series

Pricing is referred to DraftKings

CS:GO Slate Overview

CS:GO Game #1: Astralis (+125) vs Ninjas in Pyjamas(-175)

It’s really sad to see how much Astralis has fallen off with the losses of Xyp9x and gla1ve and I hope they both come back soon so they can retake the throne of the CS:GO world ranking. NIP has been fairly inconsistent in the last month but do have some lofty wins to go alone with some questionable losses. Ultimately, I think getting exposure to the top plays below will help our lineups tremendously since I do believe NIP wins and Astralis is priced way too high for my liking.

Top Plays: nawwk ($8,000), REZ ($7,400), Plopski($7,600) or twist ($6,800)

CS:GO Game #2: G2 (+110) vs Natus Vincere (-150)

NAVI is the newly crowned #1 ranked CS:GO team in the world and have plenty of DFS appeal in this game. I’m not so much concerned as picking a winner than I am getting exposure to both sides by prioritizing the elite players that are found on both sides of this game hoping that it goes 3 maps. I’ll be running one of these two-man stacks in all of my lineups.

Top Plays (NAVI): s1mple ($9,200) and electronic ($7,200)

Top Plays (G2): kennyS ($7,200) and huNter- ($7,200)

CS:GO Game #3: BIG (+162) vs FaZe (-225)

The third game is set in stone for me. I’ll have heavy exposure to FaZe on both sites with no love for any BIG players other than syrsoN ($7,000) on DK where he too cheap for a player of his talent. FaZe should win this one with ease being in better form, being the more elite team, and having more individual talent.

Top Plays: NiKo ($9,000), broky ($7,800), coldzera($7,000), rain ($6,600)

One-Off: syrsoN ($7,000)

Notes

Most of my builds on DraftKings will have a 2-2-2 lineup construction format, picking two players from each predicted winner as listed above with some builds having a 3-2-1 lineup construction with all 3-man stacks being from FaZe. On FD, either a 3-2-1 or 4-1-1 stack is the way to go for every tournament, and this CS:GO slate is no different. Make sure to have your highest upside player in the captain spot on FD since prices do not change, and that for me is s1mple or NiKo. On DK, I like paying up at captain with the same two targets, but if you’re paying down, I like electronic or REZ as sneaky targets in order to jam in multiple studs, or you can take a chance on one of G2’s top plays, kennyS or huNter-.

CS:GO Slate Summary: DreamHack EU (8am EST)

• 3 games on DK and FD
• Best of 3 series
• Pricing is referred to DraftKings

CS:GO Slate Overview

CS:GO Game #1: Complexity (+110) vs Fnatic (-150)

The DH CS:GO slate has a lot riding on this first matchup, which will carry some decent ownership on both sides. Fnatic has a 44% first ban rate on Vertigo where Complexity is riding a 4-map winning streak, and Complexity has a 50% first ban rate on Inferno where they have only played once, so it is unlikely that we see those two maps available, unless Complexity chooses to ban Overpass over Inferno. The next phase is where it gets interesting; Complexity will likely pick Mirage, where they have a 78% winning rate and a 4-map win streak, whereas Fnatic can go with Train or whichever is left over between Overpass and Inferno. Should Complexity choose to take their chance by giving Fnatic their map of choice in Inferno, they might be able to surprise them given their 78% win rate and 4-map win streak. Fnatic has the deeper team and is higher ranked, but Complexity is in better form having won 7 of their last 8. We say it time and time again, Fnatic can be the best CS:GO teams in the world when they decide to play like it, but I’ll take the underdog here at lower ownership.

Top Plays: blameF ($8,600), k0nfig ($7,200), oBo ($7,000) or poizon ($6,600)

Hedge: Brollan ($8,600), JW ($6,800), KRIMZ ($7,800)

CS:GO Game #2: MAD Lions (-150) vs Team Spirit (+110)

The second series on the DH EU CS:GO slate is another great matchup between two talented squads. I’ll be siding with the underdog in Team Spirit here because they are in slightly better form than their counterpart and MAD is coming off a brutal loss to Ence. Spirit has a 71% first ban rate on Vertigo while MAD Lions have a 59% first ban rate on Inferno, so it is unlikely those two maps will be played on. That leaves Nuke, Train, Overpass, Mirage, and Dust2 as the maps available to be selected. It’s likely that Spirit selects Dust2 seeing as they pick it as their first map 34% of the time, but they are riding a 4-map losing streak on there and MAD actually posts a better winning percentage, so I’d like to see them go to Train instead. Elsewhere, Spirit has MAD outmatched on Overpass despite the lower winning percentage because of the frequency at which they play there and can put up a fight on both Dust2 and Nuke. Ultimately, the industry will be on MAD Lions, and rightfully so since that is what the statistics may indicate to some degree, but I’ll take mir ($7,400) outperforming Bubzkji ($8,000) and consequently leading his team to victory 2-1. The x-factor for me will be magixx ($6,200) as he has been on a tear lately, posting a 1.14 rating and 1.16 K/D in the last month.

Top Plays: mir ($7,400), chopper ($7,000), magixx($6,200) or poizon ($6,600)

One-Off: Bubzkji ($8,000)

CS:GO Game #3: Heroic (+137) vs Team Vitality (-188)

The third CS:GO series is a little clearer to predict, given the unstoppable force that is ZywOo. Heroic is in decent form, but the problem is that Vitality is in even better shape. Heroic’s map statistics aren’t all that bad, but the problem for them is that Vitality’s are even better. The only map I see Heroic possible stealing would be Nuke where they have a lofty 90% win rate in 10 games, but other than that, nothing else to see here folks; Vitality wins 2-1 and ZywOo will once again be in the winning CS:GO lineup.

Top Plays: ZywOo ($9,400), shox ($6,800)

CS:GO Slate Notes

Most of my CS:GO builds on DraftKings will have a 2-2-2 lineup construction format, picking two players from each predicted winner as listed above with some builds having a 3-2-1 lineup construction by playing ZywOo alone. On FD, either a 3-2-1 or 4-1-1 stack is the way to go for every tournament, and this CS:GO slate is no different. Make sure to have your highest upside player in the captain spot on FD since prices do not change, and that for me is ZywOo. On DK, you can make an argument for cheaper players to jam in studs, such as mir ($11,100) or Bubzkji ($12,000) from the second game, depending on if you’re favoring MAD or Spirit. Although players such as blameF ($12,600) and Brollan ($12,900) make for fine options in the first game, if you’re going to spending that much (12.5k +) at the captain spot, I prefer to just go up to ZywOo ($14,100) at that point.

CS:GO Slate Overview

CS:GO Game #1: Renegades (-1000) vs Avant Gaming (+550)

This game is only being played on FanDuel CS:GO slates but it makes for a top target over there. I’d recommend using 2-3 Renegades in your lineups and strongly consider paying up for the Renegades at the team spot for a total of 3-4. While Avant did manage to steal a map from the Renegades in the round robin, it took them double overtime to do so on their map of choice: Dust2. Elsewhere, the Renegades have Avant outmatched, on every map, and in individual talent.

Top Plays: dexter ($12,000), INS ($11,200), Sico($11,500), malta ($10,100)

One-Off: sterling ($11,800) or BL1TZ ($10,200)

CS:GO Game #2: Vici Gaming (+225) vs Tyloo (-300)

In their previous matchup in the round robin, Tyloo beat Vici Gaming 2-1. There was an interesting coaching decision with Tyloo picking Inferno, which is one of Vici Gaming’s top maps and one of their worst, and they ultimately dropped that one while beating Vici on Overpass and Mirage; I don’t foresee the same thing happening here. If I had to guess, Tyloo bans Nuke while Vici will for sure ban Dust2. This leaves Overpass, Vertigo, Mirage, and Train to be 3 of the maps selected. Of these 4, the only one Tyloo has a disadvantage on is Train. I’ll take Tyloo 3-1 in the best of 5, where Tyloo already has a 1-0 lead given they are coming from the upper side of the tournament bracket.

Top Plays: DANK1NG ($11,600), SLOWLY ($11,200), Attacker($9,400) or Summer ($9,500)

One-Off: aumaN ($10,800), JamYoung ($10,600) or kaze($10,600)

CS:GO Game #3: Ence (+100) vs MAD Lions (-138)

We liked Ence last time out versus mousesports and they came away with a 2-0 victory as the underdog. Today is a different day though, and I’m siding with MAD Lions in this one. MAD remains undefeated on both Inferno and Overpass and will get to pick at least one in the ban phase. They also outpace Ence on Mirage, Nuke, and Dust2, with the winning percentage being virtually even on Train. I don’t see how Ence can come away with this one unless allu goes off. My player pool for the DK showdown is listed below:

Top Plays: Bubzkji ($11,200), sjuush ($10,400), acoR($8,800), roeJ ($8,000)

Ence One-Off: allu ($11,000), suNny ($7,800)

CS:GO Game #4: Team Vitality (-225) vs Ninjas in Pyjamas (+160)

NIP has been one of my favorite teams to watch since following CS:GO, but they don’t come out victorious here. ZywOo seems unstoppable and will continue that reign here today. Lock him in with shox and misutaaa being my next targets, although apEX is also viable in lineups. I’ll personally have ZywOo ($13,200) at the captain spot in every line.

Top Plays: ZywOo ($8,800), shox ($7,000), misutaaa ($6,000), apEX ($6,400)

CS:GO Game #5: EG (-150) vs GenG (+110)

The second game of the BLAST slate on DraftKings will really dictate the GPP winning lineups. I’m all in on Team Vitality in the first one, and the second one is a little harder to predict given both teams’ top maps are both Inferno and Mirage and have similar statistics. I assume neither one will be banned, but it still is a possibility that EG bans Mirage given that they’ve only played on there 3 times compared to GenG’s 14 and will remove their best map in the process. I’ll definitely be hedging this game and am not opposed to 2-1 splits to get exposure to both EG’s top players in Brehze and CeRq and one of GenG’s. If you’re firing a single bullet into a SE content, I’d lean EG.

Top Plays (EG): Brehze ($7,400), CeRq ($7,600)

Top Plays (GenG): BnTeT ($7,200), koosta ($7,800),autimatic ($6,800)

CS:GO Slate Overview: DreamHack/BLAST(4am EST)

CS:GO Game #1: Chiefs (+100) vs ORDER (-138)

The Chiefs are a far weaker squad than ORDER, who have been playing tremendously at DreamHack. No matter which maps they land on, the Chiefs only have a shot with how well HUGHMUNGUS ($9,200) can take them, and are priced way too high for my liking on both sites.

Top Targets: aliStair($7,200), Rickeh ($7,000), Valiance ($6,800), USTILO ($6,600)

One-Off (FD): HUGHMUNGUS($9,200)

CS:GO Game #2: mousesports (-150) vs Astralis (+110)

This game is really hard to rate; on one hand, you have Astralis, #1 team in the world, who have lost two of their best players in Xyp9x and gla1ve due to personal leave of absences, and on the other, you have a talented mousesports team that just cannot seem to string a few positive performances together in a row. This one will be ugly, but I’ll take Astralis’ trio listed below with some love for ropz ($7,600) as a one-off.

Top Targets: device($9,800), masgisk ($9,400), dupreeh ($9,000)

CS:GO Game #3: Lucid Dream (-250) vs Beyond eSports (+180)

In an intriguing match on both sites, I’ll side with LD here. They have a winning past versus Beyond, have been playing better over the past month, and have better map statistics all around. Beyond has lost 4 in a row, and LD will make it 5 tomorrow.

Top Targets: Foxz ($8,400), PTC ($8,000), cbbk ($6,400)

One-Off (FD): Olivia ($7,000)

CS:GO Game #4: Dignitas (+250 ) vs Team Vitality (-350 )

The question is not who will win this game and produce the most DFS points, rather, it is who do we stack with ZywOo? These 4 supporting players for Team Vitality jockey back and forth as to who inflicts the most damage and gets the most kills per round, and have pretty similar individual statistics, with ratings ranging from 0.99 to 1.03, K/Ds ranging from 0.92 to 1.01, and kills per round ranging from 0.62 to 0.65. Ultimately, I think shox is the guy you pair ZywOo with, and, if stacking 3, I lean misutaaa but anyone is viable here.

Top Targets: ZywOo($8,800), shox ($6,800)

CS:GO Slate Overview: DreamHack/BLAST(4am EST)

This slate is a Turboslate of the last two games (Games #3 and #4) featured in the CS:GO SlateOverview: DreamHack/BLAST (4am EST) listed above. Targets are also listed.

FD Notes

Remember that 3-2-1 or4-1-1 stacks are optimal there and have essentially taken down every GPP sincetheir implementation of CS:GO slates. Details are discussed above in the CS:GOSlate Overview: DreamHack/BLAST (4am EST), along with top targets, whichwill be from games #1 and #3.

CS:GO Slate Overview: DreamHack

Game #1: Renegades (-800) vs Avant Gaming (+450)

The first game of the DreamHack CS:GO slate fortomorrow will be the one to build your lineups around. Once again, I’ll belocking in 3 Renegades and not looking back, with one of them as captain inmost of my lineups as well. The Renegades are the top team out of the 4 hereand are not only on a 9-game winning streak, but have a good history versusAvant. Lock 3 Renegades no matter what.

Top Plays: Sico ($8,200), dexter ($8,600), INS ($7,400)

Game #2: Tyloo (+110) vs Vici Gaming (-150)

If hedging one of the two games on this CS:GO slate ormix and matching your lineups to get different with some one-offs, I suggest itbeing from this game. Vici Gaming is the lower ranked team but boast some greatindividual talents in JamYoung ($7,800), aumaN ($8,000), and kaze ($7,200) andcan put up a fight depending on which maps these two teams end up playing on.Given that Tyloo constantly bans Dust2 and have yet to play on it in 3 months,I would scratch that off the list of possibilities and that greatly impacts VG’schance of winning; Dust2 is by far their best map, where they are 8-1 and posta 89% win rate. On all other maps, VG is 50% or lower. I’ll take Tyloo for theupset.

Top Plays: dank1ng ($9,000), Attacker ($6,800), SLOWLY ($6,600), Summer ($6,200)

CS:GO Slate Overview: BLAST (Early)

Game #1: MAD Lions (-110) vs mousesports (-125)

The first game of the BLAST early slate will dictatethe GPP winners. With the obvious pick in game 2 listed below, this game willlikely be hedged by MME players so I recommend going single entry or 3-maxtournaments tomorrow. With how bad mousepsorts is playing lately, I refuse tobelieve they can beat any top 30 team without a struggle. Even if mousesportsdoes win, I think MAD Lions players outproduce the players of mousesports. I personallywould not recommend hedging this game, not because mousesports doesn’t stand a1% chance or more, but because they’re priced too high for their ceilings.

Top Plays: Bubzkji ($7,800), sjuush ($7,000), acoR($5,600) or roeJ ($6,400)

One-off: ropz ($8,600)

Game #2: sAw (+333) vs Team Vitality (-500)

We’ve written this time and time again for the teamsthat face off against sAw, lock and load with ZywOo and company.

Top Plays: ZywOo + 2 others

CS:GO Slate Overview: BLAST (Main)

Game #1: Dignitas (+137) vs Fnatic (-188)

FNC has been wildly inconsistent and we know that, butI don’t see Dignitas having the capability to beat them in a best of 1. Fnaticis more talented individually, have better map statistics all around, and shouldpull off the victory.

Top Plays: Brollan (9,000), KRIMZ (7,800), JW($7,000), flusha ($8,200)

One-off: f0rest ($7,600)

Game #2: FURIA (-275) vs Chaos (+200)

This one basically comes down to how many rounds Xeppaa ($8,200) can win on his own. Hint: it won’t be too many. Lock 2-3 FURIA guys in every line.

Top Play: yuurih ($8,000), KSCERATO ($8,600), HEN1($8,400)

Game #3: 100 Thieves (-150) vs Cloud9 (+110)

After the EG pick looked to be down and out when theywere behind 10-2 and then again 13-3, they stormed back to win 16-14 andcrushed the slate from a DFS production perespective. Cloud9 cannot be trusted,and it doesn’t change today.

Top Plays: jks ($7,200), Gratisfaction ($7,400), jkaem($6,800), Liazz ($5,600), AZR ($6,200)

One-off: floppy ($8,000)

Game #4: EG (-275) vs Triumph (+200)

Triumph stormed back to tie 100 Thieves after beingdown 10-2 but still didn’t put up crazy numbers given how many times they died.In a best of 1, the same thing applies here, and EG is a talented squad thatwon’t repeat what OHT did yesterday.

Top Plays: Brehze (7,800), CeRq ($7,200), Ethan($6,800)

Game #1:ORDER (+110) vs Avant Gaming (-150)

Another day filled with CS:GO slates begins with the Oceania DreamHack slate at 4am EST. This game would be the one of two to hedge, but I’ll side with the underdog in ORDER to take the series. These two teams have plenty of history against one another; ORDER has taken 6 of the past 10 series in the last 3 months, most recently a 16-11 win at ESEA MDL. ORDER has won 9 in a row and are red hot; we’ve seen how recent form dictates matches in CS:GO, and with Avant being in the worse form of the two, I’ll side with the underdog at reduced pricing. If hedging this one, I recommend sterling ($8,600) being at the top of your priority list; he leads Avant in all major statistics, including a 1.31 rating, 0.82 kills per round, and 1.32 K/D. He warrants consideration as a one-off as well given his ridiculous output, but ultimately, Avant is not my top stack because of the considerably low activity of his teammates (56 maps played in the past 3 months).

Top Playsfor ORDER: aliStair ($7,200), Rickeh ($7,600), USTILO ($6,400)

Top Playsfor Avant: sterling ($8,600), BL1TZ ($6,000), ofnu ($7,000)

Game #2:Renegades (-1200) vs Chiefs (+600)

In whatshould be a lopsided affair, all signs point to a quick and easy win for theRenegades. The Renegades come in as the #39 team in the world while the Chiefscome in at #87 and there is a distinct difference in talent level between thetwo squads. Don’t overthink this one, lock 3 Renegades and move on to the restof your build.

Top Plays: Sico($7,800), dexter ($8,400), INS ($7,400)

TOP CAPTAINFOR DH: Sico ($11,700), dexter ($12,600), aliStair ($10,800), sterling($12,900)

CS:GO SlateOverview: BLAST (Early)

Game #1:Ence (-700) vs sAw (+400)

In thefirst game of the BLAST early slate, there will be no hedging in this one. Ence’sopponent, sAw, is out of their league with the opponents they are facing hereand don’t really pose as a threat to Ence in this one. Ence played fairly well againstVitality in their most recent match ending in a tie, while sAw has lost theirlast 4 matches to fellow EU teams.

Top Plays:allu ($9,400), sergej ($7,600), Jamppi ($6,200)

Game #2: Dignitas(+110) vs Virtus Pro (-150)

The second game of the BLAST slate is the one that we have a tough time getting a read on. Both teams are playing so poorly as of late that this game is honestly a coin flip for who will win, but let’s discuss their team statistics and player statistics. Dignitas will have to ban Inferno and Dust2 from Virtus Pro, given their struggles on those two maps and VP’s success on them. After that, teams are pretty even in terms of winning percentage on Nuke, Train, and Vertigo. Individually, f0rest ($8,200) leads the way for Dignitas, posting a 1.12 rating, 1.18 K/D, and 0.77 kills per round. On the flipside, YEKINDAR ($9,000) came in to replace buster, who left the team for personal reasons and has impacted the team positively in his short tenure there; in 11 games with VP, YEKINDER has a 1.05 K/D and leads the team in kills by a wide margin. Ultimately for the BLAST slate, I’ll be locking in the 3 ENCE players listed above and trying to get maximum exposure to both YEKINDAR and f0rest, along with a supporting player such as Jame ($7,400), hallzerk ($7,800), or GeT_RiGhT ($7,200).  

CS:GO Slate Overview: BLAST (Main)

Game #1: Astralis (-110) vs Team Vitality (-125)

As we wrote in the last article, Astralis suffered blowing losses to their roster in gla1ve and Xyp9x – and are not the same squad. After losing 16-7 to NIP, they bounced back versus a depleted sAw team, as to be expected, but sAw is nowhere near the squad that Vitality is. It’s tough for me to say, because I loved watching the dominant tenure Astralis had, but I’ll be fading them in this one, not only because they’re ridiculously priced, but because I think they lose outright to Vitality.

Top Plays: ZywOo ($9,200), misutaaa ($6,200), apex ($6,600)or shox ($6,800)

Game #2: Cloud9 (-110) vs Evil Geniuses (-125)

Another CS:GO slate with another tough NA game to call. If you’ve been keeping up with our extensive CS:GO coverage, you’ll know that these NA teams are extremely volatile and inconsistent, but I’ll be hedging this game to get limited exposure. Ultimately, these two teams go back and forth in both recent form and this game is no different being a best of 1 – it can go any way depending on which maps get banned and can also dictate which players do well depending on which map is played so it’s impossible to narrow it down to a tee; make sure to get exposure to both sides with the plays listed below, but if you’re picking a single side, I lean EG.

C9: floppy ($8,200), Sonic ($6,400)

EG: Brehze ($7,800), CeRq ($6,600)

Game #3: 100 Thieves (-350) vs Triumph (+250)

Triumph has a very talented player in Grim, who leads the squad in all major statistical categories: 1.27 rating, 0.83 kills per round, and a 1.06 K/D. The issue is, the rest of Triumph is no match for the depth of 100 Thieves and won’t be able to pull off the upset here. All 4 players listed below are viable and are listed in order of preference.

Top Plays: jks ($8,400), Gratisfaction ($8,600), jkaem($7,400), Liazz ($6,200)

Game #4: GenG (+120) vs MiBR (-140)

This is a game that could shock some should GenG beable to pull off the upset, but I’ll definitely take MiBR as they are a muchmore talented team. Led by the trio of fer ($8,000), Fallen ($9,000), and kNgV-($7,200), MiBR boasts a deep lineup that has upset some stellar teams in thepast and takes care of business against weaker opponents on all facets of thegame.

Top Plays: fer ($8,000), Fallen ($9,000), and kNgV-($7,200)

CS:GO SlateOverview: DreamHack

A loadedday for CS:GO tomorrow begins with a two-gamer at DreamHack: Asia. These are fourteams that we have yet to see in awhile in a weaker league but we can have anedge on this slate. In the first match, Beyond (+325) faces Tyloo (-475) where wefind our first heavy favorite of the day. I’ll only be targeting players fromTyloo in this one, as they seem to be a very dominant squad, including havingan impressive win over Vici Gaming. In the second game, Lucid Dream (+350)takes on Vici Gaming (-600) where the clear targets are from the favorite. VGbeat LD 2-0 at the Road to Rio in convincing fashion, winning both maps by acombined score of 32-12. LD does not stand a chance here and the only way they’llget some points is with the “Rounds Not Played” bonus. I am completely fadingLD and will have a ton of VG in every lineup I build; my top targets are JamYoung,kaze, and aumaN. Although DK has a ton of VG players listed at the time ofwriting, should it not change, it’s important to note that the other startersare advent ($5,400) and zhokiNg ($6,200).

Top Playsfor Vici Gaming: JamYoung ($10,200), kaze ($8,800), aumaN ($7,000)

Top Playsfor Tyloo: Danking ($9,400), SLOWLY ($7,800),

Captain ofChoice: aumaN ($10,500)

LineupConstruction: 3-3 Tyloo/Vici Gaming

CS:GO SlateOverview: BLAST (Early)

We learned a lot from yesterday’s BLAST slate. The fact that these series are a best of 1 change a lot in our lineup construction; we need to make sure to not only prioritize players from winning teams, but even more so, players with the highest upside to get as many kills as possible. In the first game, Fnatic (-175) takes on Virtus Pro (+125) where I’ll be siding with VP. Fnatic was featured in yesterday’s article to be a target versus MAD Lions but weren’t able to pull away with the victory despite being the superior squad and looked like the team I liked to pick on for the last month. Losers of 6 in their last 7, I’ll only have an FNC one off in most of my builds, primarily KRIMZ who has looked to be in much better form since DreamHack, with a max of two in hedge stacks. The second game features the top targets on the slate, Ninjas in Pyjamas (-300) who face off versus sAw (+225), who got wiped by Astralis yesterday 16-4 even without gla1ve and Xyp9x – nothing else to add there. 3-man NIP stacks are the way to go here.

Top Playson the Slate: 3 NIP guys; all 5 in play. Prioritize nawwk ($7,600)

Virtus Pro:YEKINDER ($8,600), Jame ($7,400), qikert ($6,400) only if necessary

FNC Hedge/One-Off:KRIMZ ($7,800) and JW ($6,600)

CS:GO SlateOverview: BLAST (Main)

In each respective matchup there are 4 clear teams that I want to target (in order of the game times): MAD Lions, Cloud9, FURIA, and MiBR. If I had to choose two top targets, it’d be C9 and MiBR. I’ll definitely have some GenG one-offs and two-men stacks given that they have proven to beat FURIA in the past, but FURIA is the clear better team here. Below will be my foreseen player pool with modifications to be added in Discord.
