Perfect World Asia League
Best of 3
- Invictus vs. D13
- ViCi vs. Lucid Dream
- TYLOO vs. Divine Vendetta
- TIGER vs. Beyond
Captain Plays:
DANK1NG is the highest-priced TYLOO player on this slate at $8,200 but that is actually a steal for someone who is averaging 75.5 DK points per game. He has a 1.27 K/D ratio over the last month of maps played and has produced 70+ DK points in seven out of his last eight games played. He is another TYLOO member that has a tremendous kill per round rate (.76) to death per round rate (.60) ratio and with his upside, should easily be considered as a top option on this slate.
Kaze has been very solid over the past couple of weeks so why not go back to the well with him in this matchup! He is priced at $8,000 and is averaging 69.1 DK points per game. Kaze provides a great floor for us as he has had 10 out of his last 11 matches played go for 50+ DK points. In addition, he carries the highest rating in the Perfect World Asia League tournament with a 1.24 rating which means he has been the best overall player throughout this tournament. With the consistency and price point, it is easy to want to plug him into every lineup.
Other captain plays: JamYoung, erkaSt
Value Plays:
Attacker is one of the top plays on the slate and that is partially due to his price point. He is $7,200 which is very cheap for someone with a 1.24 K/D ratio over the last 24 maps played. He has had eight straight games where he has produced 50+ DK points which gives you a tremendous floor when rostering him. Another thing that stands out is his .77 kill per round rate while having a .63 death per round rate which shows his upside but limiting his number of deaths per round. He is viable in all formats and could even be used as a value captain play on this slate.
Somebody is another cheap TYLOO target that seems to be way underpriced for his recent form. He comes into this matchup at $6,600 and is viable in all formats. He has shown consistency by having six straight matches go for 50+ DK points while showing upside with three of those matches going for 80+ DK points. Over the last 18 maps played, he has had a 1.22 K/D ratio while producing a .78 kill per round rate while having only a .64 death per round rate which is extremely strong.
Other value plays: Summer, zhokiNg DeStRoYeR, kabal, sk0R

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
TYLOO just keeps rolling along and are riding an eight-match win streak with all of these matches being a 2-0 sweep. They take on Divine Vendetta who come limping into this match as losers of four-straight matches while having an overall 3-6 record in the Perfect World Asia League which has them in the bottom half of the playoff bracket. TYLOO has a career head-to-head record of 4-0 against Divine Vendetta and it is hard to think that with the form they have been showing, that this will go longer than two games. Over the last month of games played, TYLOO has gone 22-2 with a team K/D ratio of 1.22 while Divine Vendetta has gone 10-14 over their last 24 maps played while producing a team K/D ratio of .94.
All five TYLOO members are in play as they all have produced a K/D ratio above 1.15 over the last month of maps played. DANK1NG leads the way with a 1.27 K/D ratio with Attacker and somebody right behind him with above 1.20 K/D ratios. DANK1NG holds the largest kill share on the team and looks to be in the best form on this squad so he would be the first one to start your TYLOO stack with. Everyone else on the squad is pretty affordable so you will be able to squeeze together a TYLOO stack with ease on this slate.
ViCi will be another strong stacking option on this slate. They have won four out of their last five matches and have a 4-0 record against Lucid Dream. They are tied for second overall in the tournament with a 7-2 record and face off against Lucid Dream who have gone 3-6 and are tied for the last seed in the group playoff bracket. From a recent form standpoint, ViCi has gone 19-13 over their last 32 maps played with a team K/D ratio of 1.07 while Lucid Dream has gone 13-20 with a team K/D ratio of .94 so they clearly look to be in better form and the better overall team.
ViCi stacks start with locking in Kaze. He has been on fire and is at a very solid price point. JamYoung and aumaN make solid stacking additions as they both carry K/D ratios above 1. If looking for value from the ViCi side, zhokiNg could be considered as well. Overall, they are a more expensive stack compared to TYLOO so they could come in a little lower owned due to their price points.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Invictus, TIGER
