BLAST Premier Spring Finale 2021
Best of 3
- NiP (-125) vs. BIG (-105)
- G2 (-165) vs. Complexity
Captain Plays
XANTARES is one of the more consistent BIG members to roster and he has produced a 1.16 K/D ratio in five maps during the BLAST Premier Spring tournament. When looking at his overall form, XANTARES has done very well as he has held the same K/D ratio over his last 41 maps played and has produced a kill per round rate of .74 while having a low death per round rate of .64. XANTARES might go overlooked in this matchup but he could really be one to look at from a tournament construction standpoint.
k0nfig has really stepped up his game throughout the BLAST Premier Spring Tournament as he leads all of Complexity with a 1.42 K/D ratio while having a very kigh .94 kill per round rate while having a lower death per round rate of .66. When he hasn't been playing in this event, his numbers have fallen down to just a 1.07 K/D ratio which is still pretty solid but it's good to continue to ride the hot hand in a tournament that he is playing well in.
Other captain plays in order of preference: device, NiKo
Value Plays
blameF has fared pretty well throughout the BLAST Premier Spring Finale Tournament as he is sporting a 1.20 K/D ratio throughout the four maps that he has played on. When looking at his last 21 maps played, blameF has continued to show success as he is sporting a 1.14 K/D ratio while having a .70 kill per round rate and a .62 death per round rate. His pricing is still pretty cheap for someone who was in the 9k price range a month ago so might as well hop on the blameF train and take advantage of the discount.
syrsoN is at the higher-end of the value spectrum but anytime you can get him under 8k, he is worth the roster spot. When looking at his last 4 maps played, syrsoN has produced a 1.21 K/D ratio while having a .72 kill per round rate while also having a low death per round rate of .60. He has been in great form as he has gone pus in four out of his last five matches played and would make for a great value captain play on this slate.
Other value plays in order of preference: jks, tabseN, Plopski

Top Stacks / Team Picks
Complexity should be in for a battle against G2 as this will be a very exciting matchup to watch with the slight edge going to Complexity. They have faced off against a top-ranked Gambit team in two out of their last three matches so anytime you can face a top-ranked team, your game will only elevate which means they should be in a much stronger form against G2. Complexity has won five out of the last seven matches that they have played and looks to be in solid form heading into this matchup with G2. K0nfig has been playing great throughout the BLAST Premier tournament and would be the first person to consider in your Complexity stacks. He leads the squad in K/D ratio throughout this specific event and is moderately priced. Outside of him, the other two main guys to focus on would be blameF and jks. Both have been in good form over the last month of games played and look to be under-priced relatively to where they are usually priced at.
Other Stacks: BiG
