Major playoffs Fantasy game launched

Two Major stages have come and gone, and now it's time to put together your Fantasy teams for the playoffs.

Twenty-four teams stood at the beginning of the Major when the Challengers stage started, and now we're down to just the final eight, who will play in front of a Swedish crowd inside the Avicii Arena from Thursday to Sunday.

With the arrival of the Major playoffs, we have launched a new Fantasy game with just the last 40 players, and you can now create your lineup and play for skin prizes from BitSkins.com as well as for points in the Fall Season, awarding $10,000 to the winner at the end of the year.

B1T is a hot prospect on the Fantasy market

These are the skin prizes awarded in the official HLTV x BitSkins league:

1. Bayonet | Bright Water (Field-Tested)
2. Huntsman Knife | Bright Water (Field-Tested)
3. Gut Knife | Bright Water (Field-Tested)

Choose your players carefully, because now it's all about elimination matches, and you need your lineup to get as many chances to gain points as possible.

Unsurprisingly, NAVI's trio, Valeriy "⁠b1t⁠" Vakhovskiy - the highest rated player of the second stage -, Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev, and Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov are the three hottest prospects on the market as the big tournament favorite, but there are plenty of other sensible options.

Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund has been having an amazing tournament so far, for example, and sits at just $202,000, and the same goes for the likes of Vladislav "⁠nafany⁠" Gorshkov, François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay, and Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire, who have also been punching above their weight.
