Teams making playoffs via upper final will get one round of padding for skipping group stage decider matches.
Player prices & pick stats
Falcons are the most popular team with Finn "karrigan" Andersen being the most popular player in the game with 34% of all teams featuring the Dane. The Danish IGL is also the cheapest player in the game at $173k, but as usual, it’s worth noting that he averages a 0.77 rating in the past three months, and he was in the red in nine out of ten past maps.
Four Aurora players made the top-10 picks in this game, with Özgür "woxic" Eker being the most popular one with 28% teams featuring the Turkish AWPer. The team’s popularity is explained by modest prices, but it’s worth noting that they are set to face Falcons in the winners’ match, a team they lost to a few days ago at EPL.
