ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe/ North America

Best of 3

• Furia (-240) vs. 100 Thieves (+175)
• Liquid (-450) vs. Gen. G (+290)
• Cloud 9 (+105) Chaos (-145)
• Triumph (+750) vs. Evil Geniuses (-1800)

 

Captain Plays:

KSCERATO is priced down at $7,400 on this slate which is just too good of a pricepoint for someone with his talents. Over his last month of games played, KSCERATO has produced a 1.33 K/D ratio and a +85 K/D differential. He does a great job limiting his deaths as he has a .55 death per round rate but has done a good job attacking as he has a .73 kill per round rate during the same time span. With his price point being down and Furia being a heavy favorite, it is tough to not press the lock button on KSCERATO in all formats.

Brehze is the highest-salaried player on the slate and is tough to fit comfortably in your lineup, especially if placing him in the captain spot. He has been so consistent as he has produced 50+ DK points in each of his last 11 games played. Over his last 19 maps played, he has produced a 1.26 K/D ratio while having a .81 kill per round rate while having a low death per round rate of .64. Brehze is viable in cash games but might see lower ownership in tournament builds.

Other captain plays: HEN1, yuurih, oSee, ELiGE

 

Value Plays:

NAF looks to be one of the best overall values on the slate based on his pricepoint. He is $7,000 and for someone who averages 64.2 DK points per game, that pricepoint is just too low. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a 1.07 K/D ratio and a .68 kill per round rate. NAF has shown some extreme upside as he has scored 70+ DK points in four of his last seven games played.

arT has been a good tournament play from Furia throughout the summer. His price points have been all over the place as he has steadily improved his game over the last three months but he is back to being under $7,000 which is good for us. arT has scored 60+ DK points in three of his last four games played and has carried a .73 kill per round rate over the last three months.

Other value plays:  floppy, leaf, VINI, Liazz

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:

Liquid will be a popular stack on this slate but for good reason. They have on four of their last five games while their opponent, Gen. G, has only won two of their last five matches. Liquid has done better over the last three months of games played on four of the seven tournament maps which gives them the map edge. Gen. G has struggled as a team over their last 12 maps played as they have gone 4-8 with a team K/D ratio of .90. Liquid has done much better as they have gone 14-11 and are carrying a team K/D ratio of  1.01. ELiGE, NAF, and Twistzz have all been performing well and are the three main Liquid players to focus on since they all have a K/D ratio higher than 1 over the last 25 maps played.

Evil Geniuses are the heaviest favorite on this slate and it's hard to not want to stack them against Triumph. EG has won four of their last five games played and owns a 2-0 record all-time record against Triumph. EG has been rolling as a team as they have gone 15-4 over their last 19 maps played and own a team K/D ratio of 1.08 during that same span of games played. They carry the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps which is a crucial edge to have in CSGO. Brehze leads this squad in K/D ratio and is a lock-in any EG stacks made. CeRq has the second-highest K/D ratio on the team but will be tough to squeeze into lineups with Brehze unless you pay down in the captain spot. For any type of value plays, Ethan and tarik seem to be the best options from EG.

Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Furia
