Flashpoint 3
Best of 3
- Heroic (-210) vs. G2
- FPX vs. NiP (-140)
Captain Plays:
TeSeS is one of the most consistent players in all of CSGO and he is an ideal pay-up option for this Heroic team. Over his last 10 maps played, he has accrued a 1.33 K/D ratio while having a .82 kill per round rate while having a low .61 death per round rate. TeSeS has scored 50+ DK points in four straight games and has even eclipsed the 100 point mark just a few matches ago so the upside is there for TeSeS.
Maden has been in good form over his last couple of weeks as he has eclipsed the 70 point mark in three straight matches while producing a 1.18 K/D ratio over his last 11 maps played. Maden has a .79 kill per round rate and a .67 death per round rate over those 11 maps and has gone plus in three of his last four matches played. With other high-priced options on the slate, Maden could go overlooked in tournaments as a captain play.
Other captain plays: device, NiKo, huNter-
Value Plays:
refrezh is the best value on this slate and it's not even close. he is priced down to just $6,200 but has been the best Heroic player over the last month of games played. Looking at his last 10 maps played, he is sporting a 1.36 K/D ratio and leads Heroic with a +51 K/D differential. During that 10-map span, he has a .78 Kill per round rate while having a very low death per round rate of .57 and has eclipsed 50+ DK points in four straight games.
zehN is a steal on this slate based on his recent form and his price point. He checks in at $6,800 but has accrued a 1.42 K/D ratio over his last 11 maps played while also leading FPX with a +65 K/D differential. ZehN has scored well as he has had three straight games go for 70+ DK points and is flashing major upside as his kill per round rate is at .81 while his death per round rate is at .57 over the last month.
Other value plays: stavn, Farlig, STYKO

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Heroic is by far the top stack on this two-game slate they would be one to look to stack three guys in almost every type of lineup. Heroic enters this matchup as winners of eight of their last 10 maps played and is sporting a 1.24 team K/D ratio over that 10 -map span. They do hold the map advantage against G2 as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the playable maps and look to be in better overall form than G2.
All five Heroic players are in play and they are very stackable on this slate. Refrezh has been the best player and he is the cheapest member of Heroic so he looks to be one you plug into all formats. TeSeS and sjuush have also been performing very well as they both have a 1.3 K/D ratio over their last 10 maps played and would be great stacking partners for any Heroic stack. CadiaN is priced up but has only had a 1.07 K/D ratio which makes him more of a tournament-only play due to his lower ratio and higher price tag.
Other Stacks: FPX
