ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe

Best of 3

• GODSENT (+145) vs. ENCE (-195)
• Heroic (+105) vs. G2 (-145)
• Gen. G.  (-170) vs. Chaos (+125)
• Fanatic  (-125) vs. FaZe (-105)

 

Captain Plays:

stavn comes in at $8,000 and has been in solid form over the last three months. He is carrying a 1.10 K/D ratio over that time span and has produced 70+ DK point performances in three of his last four matches played.

He has a solid kill per round rate at .71 while having a .65 death per round rate and has had a kill or assist on 72.9% of rounds played. Heroic checks in as n underdog on this slate which means ownership could be down on stavn in tournaments. With knowing this, he could make for a solid captain play especially if he flashes some of the upside we have seen in prior games.

zehN sits right at $7,000 on this slate which provides for some great salary relief while also providing upside in the captain spot.  Over the last26 maps played, he has carried a 1.13 K/D ratio and a 1.21 K/D ratio against ENCE over his last six maps played against them.

From a recent form standpoint, Zehn has been up and down. He has produced a .71 kill per round rate while keeping his death per round rate down to .63 over the last three months of games played which is very solid but is also somewhat volatile when it comes to his fantasy production. Consider zehN a good tournament option for the captain spot that allows you to save some salary for the rest of your lineup.

Other captain plays: Farlig, stavn, MarKE, NiKo

 

Value Plays:

TeSeS has been a very consistent player for Heroics and is reasonably priced at $6,800. Over the last 36 maps played, he has produced a 1.03 K/D ratio while garnering 78.2 damage per round. TeSeS is quite the headhunter as he has a 56.8% headshot percentage which shows off his accuracy and that he tries to rack up as much damage as possible.

One thing that really sticks out about TeSeS is his .71 kill per round rate at his current price point. He really is aggressive when it comes to going after kills and carries a 1.11 K/D ratio in six maps played against G2.

Leaf is priced all the way down at $6,000 on this slate which seems too good to be true. He carries a match rating of 1.12 over the past three months of games played and has a strong .75 kill per round rate while having a .67 death per round rate over the same timespan.

Over his last 81 maps played, Leaf has been very dominant as he has posted a 1.12 K/D ratio while having a 54% headshot percentage. While Chaos should be lower owned, his price and recent form are hard to ignore.

Other value plays: Broky, coldzera, cadiaN, Maden

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:

Heroic has been a really strong team throughout the summer and has jumped all the way up to being ranked 3rd in the world. As a team, they have produced a team K/D ratio of 1.05 while going 24-12 over their last 36 maps played. They are going up against G2 who is also a top-five team in the world and are winners of four of their last five matches played. Heroic carries the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on five of the seven viable tournament maps.

Niko leads Heroic with a 1.13 K/D ratio over the last month of games played. He is the second-highest priced Heroic player on the slate so he makes for a great play overall. If you're looking at stacking this team, stavn, cadiaN, and TeSeS are all viable options that have carried above a 1K/D ratio over the last month of games played.

GODSENT is a big underdog on this slate but they could very well pull out the upset in this matchup. ENCE has not been in stellar form over the last three months as they have gone 12-12 with a team K/D ratio of just .92. GODSENT has gone 13-13 over the last three months but has produced a 1 K/D ratio during that timespan.

There are a few main players to target in on if you are looking at using GODSENT. ZeHN has had a 1.13 K/D ratio over the last three months of games played while also leading his squad in the K/D ratio department. STYKO, Maden and Farlig are all viable as they all carry an above 1 K/D ratio over the last 26 maps played and all have above a 1.0 match rating.

Other Top Stacks/ Teams:  Chaos
