Pinnacle Cup II Swiss Round 5 (BO3)
Best of 3
- HAVU vs. Endpoint (-165)
- Spirit (-190) vs. Fiend
Captain Plays
mezii is one of the highest-priced players on this slate but could be one of the highest-scoring players as well. He has posted a 1.34 K/D ratio over his last 35 maps played while also having a +199 K/D differential during that span as well. He has a very strong .81 kill per round rate while having a relatively low .60 death per round rate so there is a lot of upside to rostering mezii.
degster could be one to consider if wanting to pay up for the captain spot but do not want to break the bank completely for a high-priced player in the captain role. He is the second-most expensive Spirit player on the slate and has actually been the strongest Spirit member over the last 34 maps played as he has had a 1.34 K/D ratio during that timeframe.
Other captain plays in order of preference: mir, CRUC1AL, dream3r
Value Plays
ZOREE has been playing pretty well for HAVU since the start of July as he has gone plus in two out of his last four matches that he has played while also posting a 1.06 K/D ratio. From a fantasy scoring standpoint, ZORE has managed to hit the 40 points DK mark in four out of his last five scored events and has managed to get 40 kills in three straight matches.
h4rn is way under-priced for his recent form. He has produced a 1.30 K/D ratio over his last 44 maps played and has a .77 kill per round rate while having a .59 death per round rate. H4rn has led this Fiend team in the K/D ratio statistic over the last month and has a very good kill per round rate of .77 while keeping his death per round rate down to just a .59.
Other value plays in order of preference: sLowi, REDSTAR, magixx, v1c7oR

Top Stacks / Team Picks
This is a tricky slate as both of the favorites are viewed as being slight favorites with Spirit getting the slight edge of being -190 in their matchup against the Fiend squad. The way I plan on attacking this slate is by doing a 2-2-1-1 lineup with both of the two-man stacks being from the favorites and then one-off the other two spots as I think both matchups will go all three maps. The pricing is very soft on both HAVU and Fiend and that enables you to pay up for some of the top names on the slate which will be needed.
From the Spirit side, degster and mir would be the first two consider as they have been the strongest two Spirit members over the last month. Magixx would be more of a value play if needing some salary relief from Spirit but he does bring some risk to your lineup as he hasn't been in the best of form over the last week. On the Endpoint side of things, mezii and CRUC1AL stand out to be the top plays and might be a little easier to squeeze into your lineup as they are a tad cheaper than the degster/mir combo.
