Spring Sweet Spring 2
Best of 3
- SKADE (-600) vs. KOVA
- Copenhagen Flames vs. Fiend (-185)
- Entropiq (-500) vs. Izako Boars
- ENDPOINT (-260) vs. Lyngby Vikings
Captain Plays:
El1an is the highest-priced player on the slate and is the top play overall. He will be tough to fit into lineups but his upside is tremendous. Over the last month of maps played, El1an has produced a 1.34 K/D ratio and has generated a .76 kill per round rate while having a low death per round rate of .57. He has either gone even or plus in every single match over this past month and offers the best floor and ceiling on the slate.
REDSTAR is a cheaper option should you need some salary relief but would like to still have exposure to one of the top players on the slate. REDSTAR has a 1.28 K/D ratio over his last 48 maps played and has generated a .77 kill per round rate while having a low .60 death per round rate.
Other captain plays in order of preference: dennyslaw, mezii
Value Plays:
v1c7oR is a cheaper play from Fiend that has been in good form over the last month and is a solid play for his price. He has produced a K/D ratio of 1.07 over the last 48 maps played and has gone plus in three of his last four matches played. Over the last month, v1c7oR has accrued a 1.05 K/D ratio against the Copenhagen Flames and could hit value if he does that again.
Krad is another play that really stands out based on his recent form and his price point. Over the last 36 maps that he has played, Krad has generated a 1.14 K/D ratio while having a .74 kill per round rate and a .65 death per round rate. From a DK scoring perspective, Krad has scored 50+ DK points in five straight games and looks to be the top value play on the slate for all formats.
Other value plays in order of preference: Daffu, STOMP, nicoodoz, Thomas, raalz

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
SKADE is the largest favorite on the slate and looks to be a top option when it comes to stacking their team from a tournament perspective. They definitely hold the map advantage against KOVA as they have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps and have won six of their last eight matches played. When looking at both teams over the last month, SKADE has a better record and a higher team K/D ratio when compared to KOVA which makes them even more enticing from a stacking perspective.
When looking at the individual players from SKADE, the first person to start with is dennyslaw. He leads the squad with a 1.22 K/D ratio over his last 65 maps played while having a very strong +237 K/D differential. Outside of dennyslaw, the other two members to really focus on and consider would be SHiPZ and Rainwaker who both have above a 1 K/D ratio over their last 65 maps played.
Other Stacks: Entropiq
