Spring Sweet Spring 2 Regionals
Best of 3
- Gamer Legion (-385) vs. NASR
- Wisla Krakow (-225) vs. Lyngby Vikings
- KOVA (-150) vs. hREDS
- Fiend (-260) vs. Izako Boars
Captain Plays:
Markos is the highest-priced player on the slate but he is certainly worth paying up for. Over his last month of maps played, Markos has generated a 1.43 K/D ratio and has a strong .78 kill per round rate while having a low .55 death per round rate. Markos has gone plus in three straight matches and looks to be one of the best options for the captain spot in all formats.
REDSTAR is a top option on this slate and has been the top guy for Fiend over the last month of games played. He is sporting a 1.27 K/D ratio during his last 56 maps played and has a very good .76 kill per round rate while having a low .60 death per round rate. REDSTAR has gone plus in eight out of his last 11 matches that he has played which should give you the full confidence to roster him in all formats on this slate.
Other captain plays: BOROS, Zero
Value Plays:
V1C7oR looks to be one of the better-priced Fiend players on the slate. He is in the mid 7k range and has produced a 1.04 K/D ratio over his last 56 maps that he has played. V1C7oR has gone plus in back-to-back matches which shows us that he is in good form as he enters into the Tuesday slate against the Izako Boars. Over the last month, v1c7oR has generated a 2.08 K/D ratio and gone +40 in four maps against the Izako Boars which means he could be a cheap captain option on this slate should you want to save some salary.
EIZA is a very cheap option from NASR and could be one that opens up a ton of salary for your lineups. Over his last 12 maps played, EIZA has produced a 1.13 K/D ratio while having a 50.8% headshot percentage. EIZA has produced a .75 kill per round rate while having a .66 death per round rate which shows that he carries more upside with a higher kill per round rate.
Other value plays: REAL1ZE, RuStY, Szejn

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Wisla Krakow has been in very good form over their last 11 maps played as they are 8-3 with a team K/D ratio of 1.22. Wisla Krakow comes into this matchup on a three-game win streak and holds the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on si of the seven playable maps. They are the higher-ranked team ad with them being a heavy favorite on this slate, they are one of the safer stacks to roster on this slate.
Markos has been a stand-in for WK and they are 6-0 with him in the lineup. He has been a dominant player and would be one to consider in your Wisla lineups. When looking at other WK players, Goofy and jedqr look to be viable stacking partners as they both carry a 1.19+ K/d ratio over their last 11 maps played. Ponczek and SZPERO could be cheaper options if you're needing a cheaper value play from this squad that can hopefully hit the 50 point mark on DK.
Other Stacks: Fiend, KOVA, NASR
