Flashpoint
Best of 3
- Vitality (-180) vs. DBL PONEY
- G2 (-140) vs. NiP
Captain Plays:
Zyw0o is truly the only one you can trust from VItality at this point in time. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a 1.39 K/D ratio and leads Vitality with a +101 K/D differential. When looking back at their most recent head-to-head matchup, Zyw0o went even with 32 kills and 32 deaths but the rest of his team struggled against DBL PONEY.
device has been a really nice addition to this NiP squad and he has been playing well over the last month as he has garnered a 1.10 K/ ratio which is tied for the lead on NiP. He has been scoring well as he has gone for 60+ DK points in four of his last five games played and has had 60+ kills in four of those five games as well. For NiP to pull out the upset, they will need device to be at his best.
Other captain plays in order of preference: NiKo
Value Plays:
afro is a steal based on his pricing and the form he has flashed over the last month of games played. He is leading the DBL PONEY squad over the last month with a 1.22 K/D ratio and went +11 a few weeks back when DBL PONEY swept Vitality in their first official match. Afro does bring upside as he has recorded 70+ DK points in two of his last five games played so for his price point, he can certainly hit and exceed his value with a good round.
REZ is underpriced for the upside that he can provide for NiP. he is tied for the lead with a 1.10 K/D ratio and is only in the mid 7k range on DK. REZ has been an extremely consistent DFS play over the last several matches as he has gone for 50+ DK points in five straight games and has done a great job of recording 40+ kills and double-digit assists in those five games. In his most recent two matches played against G2, REZ has combined to go +16 which is extremely encouraging despite Nip losing both of those matches.
Other value plays in order of preference: Plopski, AmaNeK, hampus, misutaaa

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
NiP is coming off of a major win against a top team in Heroic and should take this positive momentum into their matchup against G2. This should be a competitive matchup and a lot of this depends on which G2 squad shows up. G2 was riding a three-game winning streak and then got swept yesterday by mousesports while NiP comes into this matchup as winners of four of their last five games played. G2 does own the head-to-head record but in their most match against one another, it went the full three maps.
The three main players to focus on from NiP are device, REZ and Plopski. They all are in good form and carry an above 1 K/D ratio over the last month of games played. Hampus has also looked pretty good from a scoring standpoint and could also be another cheap value piece as he has scored 50+ DK points in four of his last five games played.
Other Stacks: DBL PONEY/ Vitality (hedge)
