Both ESL Challenger Rotterdam and Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals get started on October 14, with more HLTV Fantasy Games playing out alongside them.
The ESL Challenger Rotterdam HLTV x Roobet league game will offer skin prizes to those who secure a top-three finish, whilst also contributing to the Fall season leaderboard.
MOUZ and Outsiders headline the Dutch event, the two rosters coming into the $100,000 competition as the highest-ranked teams at No. 8 and No. 12 on the world ranking, respectively. The squads also recently secured their places at the upcoming IEM Major Rio after finishing the Regional Major Ranking B event with 3-2 records.
Jame is currently the most-picked player of ESL Challenger Rotterdam
As such, Dzhami “Jame” Ali leads the way as the most popular choice for players, with the Russian captain currently up for grabs for a rather affordable $203,000. Not far behind the Outsiders sniper is his teammate, Evgenii “FL1T” Lebedev, with the 21-year-old setting you back a little bit more at $205,000, though his team-high 1.13 rating in the past three months could offer you a solid return on your investment.
Other players who are proving to be common picks are the MOUZ trio of David “frozen” Čerňanský, Jon “JDC” de Castro, and Christopher “dexter” Nong, with the latter likely to be a solid choice for those looking to fill their Leader role, while being rather affordable at $188,000.
Players from ENCE could also be lucrative options; the European mix just locked in a place in the Legends Stage of the IEM Major Rio after their second-place run through the Europe RMR B event. As a result, Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer‘s $177,000 price tag is especially appealing whilst Paweł “dycha” Dycha only fetches $199,000, surprisingly low for a player who has averaged a 1.14 rating over the past three months.
The HLTV x Roobet game will reward the following skin prizes for those who finish in the top three:
The skins up for grabs are:
1. Navaja Knife | Damascus Steel (Field-Tested)
2. Desert Eagle | Printstream (Field-Tested)
3. AK-47 | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
The Major-bound ENCE squad are go-to picks for many players
Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals also has an HLTV x Roobet league game going live throughout the duration of the event, with Spirit entering the Spotify Camp Nou-hosted tournament as the highest-rated lineup. The Russian squad recently clinched a spot in the Legends Stage of IEM Major Rio with a fourth-place finish, besting Cloud9 2-1 in the decider matchup.
Unsurprisingly, therefore, Spirit have four of their players as the top picks for people’s fantasy teams, with their in-game leader, Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov, being the second-most common choice so far with an asking price of just $187,000. Robert “Patsi” Isyanov, meanwhile, leads the Russian-majority team in terms of raw cost, putting a $218,000 dent in your pocket should you choose to acquire the 19-year-old’s services.
Lucas “nqz” Soares, however, is the player with the largest price tag, with the Brazilian youngster going for an eye-watering $232,000. This hefty expense isn’t without reason, though, as the 17-year-old has put up an impressive 1.24 rating over the past three months while on 9z‘s books.
Those in need of watching their expenditure could also turn their attention to Isurus; the Argentine roster costs no more than $196,000 in the form of Ignacio “meyern” Meyer. In the same vein, their compatriots of WINDINGO might also be a worthwhile investment for those on the hunt for players who could cause some upsets during their time in Spain.
The game will have skins up for the taking as well as offering points on the Fall season leaderboard.
The skins for those who clinch a podium finish are:
1. Navaja Knife | Urban Masked (Field-Tested)
2. Desert Eagle | Printstream (Field-Tested)
3. AK-47 | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
The league table for the $10,000 Fall season is currently as follows:
1.
medo_brundo1 – 125 points
2.The_Goldfinch – 122 points
3.KassaK – 116 points
4.112AMBULANTA – 114 points
5.vladoskalvados – 112 points
