This is my first draft! Decided to go with Aleksib despite your warnings, not because of his individual rating but because of his booster potential as well as wanting to double dip on Navi going 4-0 without breaking the bank :D Full team: Aleksib - Leader b1t - HS Machine torszi - AWP zont1x - Support JACKZ - Eco Friendly This setup pretty much depends on each player playing above their expected level/their teams going far, not sure how well it's gonna work
pretty good zywoo draft! as to your jackz question, i would say HS machine historically was brilliant for him (even if the numbers now don't suggest it). i chose support as he is playing anchor roles on CT side so i anticipate it will trigger decently
ESL Challenger Katowice was a disaster for me too hahaha. For this Blast I'm going with: jL - Attacker w0nderful - Camper flameZ - Eco Friendly JACKZ - Support jks - HS Machine NaVi, continuing their great form, will probably make it to another final. And with that in mind, I went with two heavy picks for them. And in group B anyone can come first, but I will believe in Vitality.
can't be perfect ALL the time, right :') Probably nobody really expected that final anyway, but it does show potential again of some upcoming players and teams 0:36 tho 🤣🤣 I agree on pretty much everything, except I'm going for faze instead of mouz (imo 50/50;and faze has to wake up sometime right..riiight?) I do have potato karrigan in the team, hope the boosters help a bit (would've gone jackz if I was still competing for the season, but that's hopeless for me now) malbs/hunter/broky/karrigan/wonderful gl :D
faze are so up and down it's a total gamble with them. you'll either do exceptionally well when they surprise everyone or karrigan will go -50 across the event xd good luck!
Almost went Cadian (with chicken out first game) to stretch the budget for double Navi and another player around 210-215. But I decided to go for Karrigan, Siuhy, Torzi, B1t and iM. Just completely banking on Group A to start with MOUZ and Navi wins and that Karrigan performs decently but Faze doesn't make it too far. I completely shit the bed in Challenger Kato so went for a bit of different strat
I doubt that Faze will reach semis, but I do believe they will beat MOUZ in the first round simple because mouz need to work on their consistency. So, my draft is: Karrigan - eco friendly (chicken the hell out vs NAVI) Jackz - support W0nderful - awp B1t - HS machine Malbsmd - entry (G2 pls don't make me regret this) GL everyone!!!
Last season I finished top 100 which is okay, this season im like 3000th no luck whatsoever, basically over, so it's time to gamble: Going all in on spirit: donk, sh1ro, jks, JACKZ, rain Best of luck to you.
Maybe the toughest bracket to predict this year, that being said I went with iM, Brollan, Siuhy Hunter and malbs. Im hoping that we see the same mouz that almost took navi the whole way and a g2 that doesnt bomb out
This event has a LOT of insane value picks, I find it extremely hard to decide my final draft. I put together a balls to the wall top1 or top100% team, with 3 out of the 5 picks outside of the 8 most picked players AND no IGL. No one is under 1.00 rating, but it's risky, as all 3 teams I chose the players from have been shaky lately. Zywoo, jackz, rain, ropz and hunter I also came up with a safer double navi 2-1-1-1 draft, also with no IGL: b1t, iM, jackz, rain, ultimate - b1t and rain get into a b1t of a scuffle (lol) for the HS machine role here, but the ukrainian has a ton of other good roles, so I'll just go for one of those. What do you think, which one would you take?
that's a pretty fire zywoo draft ngl! still has 3 players from the top 2 teams in group B (jury is out on Spirit rn). i think i like the zywoo draft a lot more just because NAVI is so picked, and if Vita do win the whole thing you know Zywoo will carry ANY draft
Astralis are so cheap you can probably afford zywoo and donk with them :D i don't hate it, like i said i do think this team will be very good, i can see them beating faze in the lower game on a good day
I know I wouldn't feel as strongly if I did well, but why is an event that is half bo1 a part of the official fantasy season? It makes no sense to me. For this draft I'm going with b1t, wonderful, torszi, siuhy and jackz. The reason I'm picking jackz instead of one of the cheap IGLs is because it feels like Jackz has a bigger chance of surprising with a good rating than karrigan or Snax. With those two IGLs we pretty much know what we're going to get from them.
Hello Lucy, My fantasy is: iM - Entry fragger torzsi - AWPer siuhy - HS machine broky - Multi fragger huNter - Eco friendly (He is very risky chose, because his stats from two last events are terrible) [Rio - 0.56, BLAST - 0.91] What do you think about my fantasy and Siuhy´s role HS machine? Is it good chose for him ?
great combo of players! would ignore rio stats for G2 as the whole team was terrible and it throws the data off. siuhy is always hard to get good roles on - i used HS machine the past with mixed success, i think Leader tends to be decent if you are going double MOUZ. it can only technically fail twice at this event and you'd expect MOUZ to pick up a few wins
My team currently is b1t, aleksib, niKo, siuhy and magixx. This drafting was really weird, I feel like the prices don't allow you to get more than 2 good players, and guessing who is going to pop off here is the trick but I think I've covered some basis (although I don't really like having aleksib and siuhy together but it is what it is I guess). Also with prices, even if you choose to get someone cheaper like wonderful instead of b1t and malbs rather than niko (saving like 9k) you still can't really upgrade the other ones so there's no point, really.
That's because you're going for players who very rarely pop off. You can go for hunter or rain instead of aleksi and jackz or jks instead of siuhy and magixx to save some money for the gold border players.
i think it's definitely possible to get 3 good players, you just need to play around a bit. aleksi is just too expensive imo which is what might be making your draft hard. there's a lot of good silver priced (200-212k) players. i feel that 3 of those vs two 215k+ players is a bit more well rounded, though i do really rate niko here!
Feeling absolutely awful about this event in terms of read (or lack thereof) on the results. I THINK I'm going with iM/torzsi/Jimi/magixx/chopper, but it feels like one I'm going to change fifty times before Wednesday
i go with m0nesy, hunter, ropz, rain, jackz g2 is inconsistent, that's why i think now they will come back, to then disappear on upcoming major faze has been much better recently, they should at least leave the group navi's expensive + everyone goes for them, so i'd rather risk something else the only player i don't like here is jackz, but he's the only one in 180k range i can take, so yeah
it was so sad watching your fantasy flop so hard😭, it was literally like "my goat is washed"😭 seeing how 5 people caught up to your fantasy overall points, it was actually sadder than watching my fantasy flop (cause l don't care about the overall points, far gone are all my chances to get top10 there lol) as to this fantasy.. well, as a spirit fan l almost have to go with double spirit (and the bigger l go on them the better l feel), especially considering that very few people are picking them, and then going like double navi alongside that is too generic, so l went for a donk draft with donk, magixx, brollan, torszi and yekindar. 0 igls with donk just feels strong, and l don't think yekindar is that bad, he still averages like 1.00 rating on lan, that's def better than jackz's 1.00 vs tier-3, double mouz is obviously insanely risky, and mb going 2-1-1 is just better, but then l have to not go for a donk draft, which is sad
so washed 😭 i only have myself to blame... its ok though, we're locking in for the final stretch. not worried yet! i'm actually kinda amazed at your draft. donk with NO IGLS! i actually think mouz are fairly safe, i'd expect semi's from them with current form. really really nice draft!
Currently: iM jL Trozsi siuhy karrigan I could go for jackz instead of karrigan if I also do wonderful instead of iM. Kinda hard for me to decide between the 2 lineups at the moment. I like iM over wonderful but I also like Jackz over karrigan … What do you think @Lucy ?
This is my first draft! Decided to go with Aleksib despite your warnings, not because of his individual rating but because of his booster potential as well as wanting to double dip on Navi going 4-0 without breaking the bank :D
Full team:
Aleksib - Leader
b1t - HS Machine
torszi - AWP
zont1x - Support
JACKZ - Eco Friendly
This setup pretty much depends on each player playing above their expected level/their teams going far, not sure how well it's gonna work
Welp, I look stupid now. Aleksib lost me 18 points in round 1 even though he top fragged on Nuke LMAO.
I've decided on Zywoo, iM, Brollan, Jackz and Karrigan. Seems pretty strong to me.
pretty good zywoo draft! as to your jackz question, i would say HS machine historically was brilliant for him (even if the numbers now don't suggest it). i chose support as he is playing anchor roles on CT side so i anticipate it will trigger decently
ESL Challenger Katowice was a disaster for me too hahaha.
For this Blast I'm going with:
jL - Attacker
w0nderful - Camper
flameZ - Eco Friendly
JACKZ - Support
jks - HS Machine
NaVi, continuing their great form, will probably make it to another final. And with that in mind, I went with two heavy picks for them. And in group B anyone can come first, but I will believe in Vitality.
jks is a cheeky cheap pick, i really hope he plays well! great way to double on two favourites, even if vita has the stand-in situation. gl!
can't be perfect ALL the time, right :') Probably nobody really expected that final anyway, but it does show potential again of some upcoming players and teams
0:36 tho 🤣🤣

i like the play, and with 3 very strong fraggers to carry you through! gl!
Last season I finished top 100 which is okay, this season im like 3000th no luck whatsoever, basically over, so it's time to gamble:
Going all in on spirit: donk, sh1ro, jks, JACKZ, rain
Best of luck to you.
this is a baller draft! surely no one is going donk AND sh1ro. gl!
I also used the Chicken booster on JACKZ... I can feel your pain (:
i went Staehr siuhy NiKo malbs Jimpphat
G2 yo yos massively, hoping for an upswing there, and Staehr had a few good maps for me lately
staehr was great for me last time i picked him! very similar approach to my draft, just with a different budget pick. good luck!
Maybe the toughest bracket to predict this year, that being said I went with iM, Brollan, Siuhy Hunter and malbs. Im hoping that we see the same mouz that almost took navi the whole way and a g2 that doesnt bomb out
rio was a great sign for mouz, good draft!
b1t hs machine, jl multi fragger, siuhy leader, twistzz defender, jackz support

i don't hate it, like i said i do think this team will be very good, i can see them beating faze in the lower game on a good day
Do you think support is the best role for jackz?

Yeah, this is a tough one... I'll go with double MOUZ and double Vitality: torzsi, Brollan, JACKZ, flameZ, and as a wildcard, ropz! :)
Wildcard isn't playing this event.

Feeling absolutely awful about this event in terms of read (or lack thereof) on the results. I THINK I'm going with iM/torzsi/Jimi/magixx/chopper, but it feels like one I'm going to change fifty times before Wednesday
yeah NAVI are the only consistent deep run team, the rest can all beat and lose to anyone, though so can NAVI!
awesome buff
i go with m0nesy, hunter, ropz, rain, jackz
g2 is inconsistent, that's why i think now they will come back, to then disappear on upcoming major
faze has been much better recently, they should at least leave the group
navi's expensive + everyone goes for them, so i'd rather risk something else
the only player i don't like here is jackz, but he's the only one in 180k range i can take, so yeah
g2 always seem to do well at BLAST so i think you're probably right!

i'm actually kinda amazed at your draft. donk with NO IGLS! i actually think mouz are fairly safe, i'd expect semi's from them with current form. really really nice draft!
I think you were pretty unlucky on saffee.
yeah idk what went wrong with mibr :/ saffee felt like a great pick!
Currently:
iM
jL
Trozsi
siuhy
karrigan
I could go for jackz instead of karrigan if I also do wonderful instead of iM.
Kinda hard for me to decide between the 2 lineups at the moment. I like iM over wonderful but I also like Jackz over karrigan …
What do you think @Lucy ?
