Flashpoint 3
Best of 3 Series
- Sprout vs. Heroic (-750)
- G2 (-150) vs. FaZe
Captain Plays:
TeSeS is the top Heroic player on the slate and he has been a very dominant player for them for quite some time. TeSeS has produced a K/D ratio of 1.26 over the last month of games played and has a strong .80 kill per round rate while having a low .63 death per round rate. He has produced 50+ kills in three of his last five games played and has gone plus in six of his last seven games played.
NiKo is one to consider for tournaments on this slate as he carries one of the higher ceilings on the slate for the G2 squad. NiKo is sporting a 1.17 K/D ratio over his last 32 maps played and has a .76 kill per round rate and a low .65 death per round rate. NiKo has been dominant against FaZe over the last six months as he has faced them on seven maps and has a 1.23 K/D ratio and has gone +29 in those seven maps.
Other captain plays: sjuush, huNter-, cadiaN
Value Plays:
refrezh is one of the best plays on the slate and is arguably the best-priced play on the slate as well. Over the last month of games played, refrezh is carrying a 1.19 K/D ratio which is the third-highest K/D ratio on the Heroic team. He is sporting a .75 kill per round rate while having a low death per round rate of .63. Refrezh has gone even or plus in four straight matches and is a viable value captain play on this slate.
nexa is a very cheap option for G2 and at his $5,400 price tag, he is worth taking a stab at. Nexa was a key cog for G2 last season but his newer role with the team hasn't been quite as great as he anticipated. Over the last month of games played, nexa is only producing a .91 K/D ratio but with G2 being the favorite in this matchup, he might be able to take advantage of the matchup and end up in the plus.
Other value plays: faveN, broky, slaxz-

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Heroic is a very heavy favorite on this slate but will be a tough team to stack since their pricing is extremely high as a team. Heroic enters this matchup as winners of 11 out of their last 15 maps played and are carrying a team K/D ratio of 1.17 during that stretch while Sprout is 13-20 over their last 33 maps and is sporting a team K/D ratio of .99 during that stretch. Heroic carries a strong map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps and own the head-to-head record against Sprout by the record of 2-1.
Heroic is very deep and evenly spread out with all of them carrying above a 1 K/D ratio over their last 15 maps played. TeSeS and sjuush are leading the way as they have the highest two K/D ratios on the squad over the last month while refrezh looks to be the best overall value on the slate.
Other Stacks: G2
