ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe/ North America
Best of 3
- Heroic (-240) vs. GODSENT (+170)
- NaVi (-195) vs. OG (+145)
- Furia (-105) Liquid (-130)
- ENCE (-275) vs. AGO (+195)
Captain Plays:
niko has been on fire over the last month as he has accrued a 1.18 K/D ratio over his last 38 maps played. Niko brings really good upside to your lineups as he has produced a .75 kill per round rate which is one of the higher rates on the slate.
He is the highest-priced player on the slate but the upside that he brings is worth the consideration. Niko is averaging 64 DK points per game and has flashed 100 point upside so if he has a monster performance as he has in the past, your tournament lineups could be in good standing.
Allu is by far the best player on ENCE. They will be in a competitive matchup against AGO which means ENCE will need Allu to be in peak form. Over the last month, Allu has produced a 1.27 K/D ratio over his last 10 maps played which shows how good of form he has been in.
One thing to note for Allu is his high kill per round rate which sits at .81 over the last month of games played. That shows the upside that he brings to lineups while he has a low death per round rate of just .64. Allu is viable in all formats but could be lower owned which sits better for tournament lineups.
Other captain plays: s1mple, stavn, electronic
Value Plays:
CadiaN offers one of the better value spots on the slate based on his price point. He is priced at $6,800 and has been carrying a 1.02 K/D ratio over his last 38 maps played. While he doesn't offer the most upside from a fanstasy scoring standpoint, he a brings a great floor to your lineups which can be great for both cash and tournament lineups.
Glancing at his previous 10 games, cadiaN has only scored below 50 DK points one time which is extremely consistent and impressive. He has six straight games where he has registered double-digit assists which contributes to his solid scoring.
KSCERATO is priced at $5,800...... lock him in! This is a complete mispricing as he is carrying a 1.19 K/D ratio over the last month of games played. He is both a value play and a captain play and should be 100% owned in cash games. There's not much else to say other than he is the best overall play on the slate based on his pricing.
Other value plays: twistzz, sergej, arT, bORUP

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Heroic is a team that we have been using a lot throughout the summer and they have been red hot as of late. They are the #3 ranked team in the world and are winners of three of their last five games played. Over the last 38 maps played, they have gone 26-12 and carry a team K/D ratio of 1.07 during that span. Heroic carries the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on five of the seven viable tournament maps over the last three months of games played.
All of Heroic seems to be in play as they have all done well over the last month of games played. Niko and stavn lead the charge as they carry the highest K/D ratios on the team while cadiaN offers the best value on the team. They have four of their five players carrying K/D ratios above 1 and are all viable for your cash game lineups.
NaVi takes on OG which is a matchup of two of the top 15 teams in the world. NaVi comes into this game as winners of three of their last five games and has produced a team K/D ratio of 1.03 over their last 15 maps played. They have a higher winning percentage on five of the seven playable tournament maps which give them the map advantage when analyzing this game.
NaVi stacks usually start with s1mple. He carries one of the highest upsides on the slate as he has had a 1.40 K/D ratio over the last 15 maps played. When looking for stacking partners, electronic and Perfecto are two players to give consideration to. They both have 1+ K/D ratios over the last 15 maps played and are in a great pricing range where they will not kill your roster construction.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: ENCE
