Flashpoint

Best of 3

• Heroic (-275) vs. Astralis 
• Complexity (-250) vs. Anonymo
• SPROUT vs. FPX (-245)
• NiP (-170) vs. BIG

 

Captain Plays:

TeSeS is just too underpriced in my opinion to not be considered in the captain spot for this four-game slate. He has produced 70+ DK points over his last three games played and has a 1.20  K/D ratio over his last 17 maps played which is the highest K/D ratio on the Heroic squad. He is sporting roughly a 1k discount and had a +31 K/D differential last time these teams squared off so he will be one to have a good amount of exposure to in all formats.

blameF is another player to consider for the captain position despite a higher price tag. Over his last 26 maps played, he has produced a 1.20 K/D ratio while having a .74 kill per round rate and a .62 death per round rate. He has managed to go plus in two of his last three matches and could come in lower owned at the captain spot due to the value on the entire slate.

Other captain plays in order of preference: device, k0nfig, Farlig

 

Value Plays:

refrezh is always coming in at a lower price point but we shouldn't complain as this makes it easier to us from a roster construction standpoint. He went +11 against Astralis in early May and has a 1.16 K/D ratio over his last 17 maps played so he still remains to be in good form. Refrezh has a .72 kill per round rate while having a low .62 death per round rate over his last month of games played and has a 53% headshot percentage which are all great numbers for his price point.

Kyler is a very cheap option on this slate and his price point of $4,800 is too good to pass up on, especially if you decide to pay up at the captain position. He leads Anonymo over the last 48 maps played with a 1.08 K/D ratio and a +61 K/D differential. He has hit 50+ DK points in four of his last six games which is perfectly enough for his price tag.

Other value plays in order of preference: sjuush, snax, zehN, Plopski STYKO

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:

Heroic takes on Astralis which makes for a battle of two top-5 teams in the world and Heroic is coming off of a 2-0 sweep of Astralis earlier this month. During that two-map sweep, Heroic won in convincing fashion as they swept Astralis on both maps by a score of 16-6 while four players on Astralis had at least a -10 K/D differential while Heroic had three guys end up with a +11 or greater.  When comparing the recent form of the two squads, Astralis has gone 8-6 over their last 14 maps played while having a team K/D ratio of .99 while Astralis has gone 13-4 with a team K/D ratio of 1.15.

The entire squad is in play as they all have a K/D ratio above a 1.10 over their last 17 maps played and look to be in good form. The pricing on the squad is very good despite cadiaN carrying a price tag near 10k.  While he is certainly one to consider, it might not be the best option to spend all the way up for him just because it could restrict your roster construction. Refrezh and sjuush continue to be great value plays while TeSeS looks to be extremely underpriced.

Other Stacks:  FPX
