Games (EDT)

  • 7:00 p.m: Ground Zero Gaming (GZ) vs. Mindfreak (MF)
  • 7:35 p.m: Renegades (RNG) vs. Overt (OVR)
  • 7:50 p.m: Cringe Society (CS) vs. Canberra Havoc (CH)
  • 8:45 p.m: FURY (FURY) vs. Team Esper (E)

MF (5-1) vs. GZ (4-2)

Mindfreak come into this week looking to solidify their No. 1 seed as they take on No. 2 Ground Zero Gaming coming in on the heels of a 3-1 loss to Renegades. Mindfreak were clinical in taking down Cringe Society last week, allowing only four goals all series. Ground Zero on the other hand shipped 12 goals as Renegades took them down 3-1, putting them in essentially a must-win scenario Saturday in order to claim a top-2 finish. That said, this match offers some of the best value of the week with all three Mindfreak players at the bottom of the prices for this match. Ground Zero have the star potential to take this match, but if Mindfreak can keep their title as stingiest defense in the league, they should have the ability to retain their top spot. Look for standout performances from Decka and Julz who are among the top three players in this league in rating, with 1.32 and 1.26, respectively.

MF Players to Target: Ghost ($13,200 Captain, $8,800 Flex)

GZ Players to Target: Decka ($18,000 Captain, $12,000 Flex), Julz ($16,800 Captain, $11,200 Flex)

RNG (3-3) vs. OVR (1-5)

The second match of the day looks to be relatively one-sided as Renegades take on a struggling Overt side

RNG (3-3) vs. OVR (1-5)

The second match of the day looks to be relatively one-sided as Renegades take on a struggling Overt side who have yet to make a splash in RLCS and have already been eliminated from playoffs. Overt have struggled to do much of anything this season, and are currently looking to end the season on a high note while Renegades fight for a playoff spot. If Renegades get complacent, Overt could put up some decent value at some very competitive prices. With how this match looks though, Overt players only seem to be an option to fill out a roster at low costs.

RNG Players to Target: Siki ($13,500 Captain, $9,000 Flex)

OVR Players to Target: Noizee ($12,000 Captain, $8,000 Flex)

CS (3-3) vs. CH (1-5)

The third match should go largely the way of the second match as fourth-placed Cringe Society take on eighth-placed Canberra Havoc who have been the bottom dwellers of the season. Having taken only six maps across the whole season (three of which came against seventh-placed Overt) CH will be looking for a bright spot to end the campaign. Cringe Society, on the other hand, feature some of OCE's veteran's in Drippay and Torsos, who will be looking to guarantee a spot in the regional playoffs. That's not to say that this match has no value -- Torsos still has star potential and Walcott has been a bright spot for CH this season. That said, this series has the potential to be a high-scoring affair for CS as they look to get into a fiery form for Playoffs.

CH Players to Target: Walcott ($14,100 Captain, $9,400 Flex)

CS Players to Target: Torsos ($16,200 Captain, $10,800 Flex)

FURY (4-2) vs. E (3-3)

Week 7 closes out with a fantastic match as FURY look to solidify their top-half finish and potentially take the second seed in the playoffs. Team Esper, on the other hand, are fighting for their playoff spot, knowing full well that Renegades and Cringe Society, also on 3-3 records, play against the bottom two teams. FURY have had a very strong season and with Amphis and KennySalmon both putting up exceptional ratings they will be looking to continue the form that saw them 3-0 Mindfreak. Team Esper did take down GZ 3-1, but fell to Cringe Society and Mindfreak 3-0. With everything to play for, the last match of the regular season should be an absolute classic. This match could also have some of the best value of any as Delusion (averaging 264.9 FPPG) is valued only fourth highest in the match. 

FURY Players to Target: Amphis ($17,700 Captain, $11,800 Flex)

E Players to Target: Delusion ($15,300 Captain, $10,200 Flex), Frenzyy ($15,300 Captain, $10,200 Flex)
