ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe/ North America
Best of 3
- FaZe (+110) vs. Spirit (-145)
- Vitality (-190) vs. Fnatic (+140)
- Chaos (-375) Triumph (+260)
- Astralis (-210) vs. NiP (+155)
Captain Plays:
mir carries a high price-tag at $9,800 but he does carry one of the higher ceilings on this slate. Over the last month of games played, mir has produced a 1.23 K/D ratio while also generating a .79 kill per round rate which is extremely good.
From a fantasy scoring perspective, mir has gone for 50+ DK points in six of his last seven games played with two of those games went for 90+ DK points. With his pricepoint being extremely high, he could actually come in lower owned in tournaments which makes for a nice leverage play off of guys like Zyw0o.
Zyw0o is back again on the slate and is actually not the highest-priced player in the player pool. He comes into this matchup being $9,000 and is averaging 72 DK points per game. Zyw0o has owned Fnatic over his last five maps played against them.
He carries a +73 K/D differential and racked up a 1.94 K/D ratio during that timespan. Over the last 24 maps played, Zyw0o has generated a 1.30 K/D ratio while accumulating a .80 kill per round rate with a low .62 death per round rate. Zyw0o is viable in all formats and should be a popular choice with his reduction in salary.
Other captain plays: Xeppaa, device
Value Plays:
magixx has been on a killing streak over the last several games as he has produced 50+ kills in each of his last three matches. While he doesn't have the biggest upside, he does give you a solid floor and is showing that he is in good form right now.
Over the last month, Magixx has played on 29 maps and has accrued a 1.06 K/D ratio. While his kill per round rate is at .67, he carries a low death per round rate of .63 which means he limits his death total. He checks in at $6,800 which is a solid price for a player who is relatively consistent with his scoring and is on a team that carries a chance to sweep 2-0 on this slate.
dupreeh is $7,200 on the slate and will be one of the more popular Astralis players from an ownership standpoint. He is averaging 52.7 DK points per game and is carrying a 1.06 K/D ratio over the last 16 maps played.
dupreeh can be hit or miss, as he has generated 70+ DK points in three of his last seven games, while also generated two games where he didn't hit 40 DK points. With Astralis being somewhat big favorites on the slate, it is worth taking the risk on dupreeh in your tournament lineups.
Other value plays: Gla1ve, Bubzkji, leaf, RpK, misutaaa, vanity

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Spirit is the lower-ranked team in their matchup against FaZe but looks to be in much better form. They have won three of their last five matches played while FaZe has gotten swept their last five matches played. A big challenge for FaZe will be map selection as Spirit has a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable tournament maps over the last three months of games played. Over the last month, Spirit has posted a 21-8 record and a 1.10 team K/D ratio while FaZe has mightly struggled as they have gone 2-13 with a .88 team K/D ratio.
Spirit has gotten major contributions throughout their team. Both mir and iDISBALANCE have performed well over their last 29 maps played as they have produced a 1.23 K/D ratio during that span. Both should be looked at for your Spirit stacks with how well they are playing. If you're looking at other options, sdy and magixx have produced K/D ratios above 1.05 which would make for a nice third member of your Spirit stacks.
Chaos is another team that looks like they are in a great spot from a stacking standpoint. They are higher-ranked than Triumph and are 2-0 against them all-time. From a recent form standpoint, Chaos looks to have the edge over Triumph. Over the last three months, Chaos has gone 55-27 with a 1.07 team K/D ratio while Triumph has gone 34-30 with a team K/D ratio of 1.03. When shrinking that size down to the last month of games played, Chaos has gone 9-10 with a team K/D ratio of .93 while Triumph has gone 5-11 with a team K/D ratio of .83.
Xeppaa looks to be the strongest play from this Chaos squad. Over the last three months of maps played, he has produced a K/D ratio of 1.19 which leads the Chaos team. Leaf and vanity are both solid stacking options as they have produced 1.10+ K/D ratios over that same timespan. MarkE is a new addition to the squad but looks to also be in play as he has posted a .95 K/D ratio since joining Chaos.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Vitality, Astralis
