Flashpoint 3
Best of 3 Series
- Vitality vs. OG (-170)
- Fnatic vs. Complexity (-300)
Captain Plays:
mantuu remains to be the top option for OG and he has been in great form over the last month of games played. He is sporting a 1.36 K/D ratio over his last 11 maps played and has a .72 kill per round rate while having a low .53 death per round rate. Mantuu has gone plus double-digits in four of his last five games played and has eclipsed the 70 point DK mark in four of those matches as well. While he has struggled against Vitality over the last year, it's been several months since they last faced off and it's best to go off of the recent form than anything else.
Zyw0o is the one Vitality player we can truly trust in any matchup. He has a 1.43 K/D ratio over his last 13 maps played and has a strong .84 kill per round rate while having a very low .58 death per round rate. Zyw0o carries a very safe floor as he very rarely goes negative and even in his worst performances he hovers around the break-even mark. OG is a tough opponent which could bring out the very best in Zyw0o so he looks to be a great one-off kind of play from Vitality.
Other captain plays: BlameF, k0nfig
Value Plays:
Aleksib might be the best overall value on the slate based on both his pricing and the recent form that he is showing. He has a 1.12 K/D ratio over his last 11 maps played and has a .67 kill per round rate while having a low .6 death per round rate. Aleksib has gone plus in the K/D differential department in four of his last five matches that he has played and has also gone for 60+ DK points in four of those five games as well.
jks is at a very solid price point on this slate and makes for a fine value play in all formats for this Complexity squad. He has a 1.02 K/D ratio over his last 27 maps played and has a +8 K/D differential during that time span. Jks is still finding his footing with his new club but is showing signs of life as he has gone plus in three of his last six matches that he has played while also hitting the 50 point mark in three out of his last seven matches played.
Other value plays: valde, niko, shox, jackinho

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
OG is going to be my preferred stack on this slate despite facing one of the overall tougher matchups against Vitality. Right now, they are in much better form than Vitality as they have won four out of their last six matches that they have played while Vitality has only won two of their last eight matches that they have played. When looking at the last month of games played, OG is 9-4 with a team K/D ratio of 1.19 while Vitality comes limping into this matchup with a record of 4-6 with a team K/D ratio of .99. Vitality does own the all-time head-to-head record over OG with a record of 5-2-2, but it is hard to look past their recent form which gives the edge to OG.
OG is a very stackable team as all five guys could be included in a three-man stack. Mantuu and flameZ are the top two players for OG as they have the highest K/D ratios over the last month of games played and are the two highest-priced options for this squad. Aleksib might be the best value on the slate as he is sporting a 1.10 K/D ratio over the last month and is the cheapest OG member on the entire slate. He and Valde make for a great cheap value pairing which allows you to spend up for your captain position.
Other Stacks: Complexity
