MAD Lions vs. HAVU
MAD Lions will take on HAVU in a match to decide who moves onto the finals against MiBR. With this being a showdown slate, the strategy involved will vary somewhat. First of all, you will be picking four players as opposed to six, and you will get to choose two captains. If you're gunning for that top prize in GPPs, diversifying your lineup will be the point of emphasis here. Despite being a slight underdog with the bookmakers, HAVU have actually been the superior side with a 3–1 record overall. However, it worth pointing out that both teams have undergone a couple of roster changes throughout that time. MAD Lions' HUNDEN was removed in favor of AcilioN, and doto was brought in to replace Twixie for HAVU.
The player who stands out as the biggest value is acoR ($7,800), but he will likely be incredibly popular because of his lower price. Picking him allows you to roster other heavy hitters, such as Bubzkji, sjuush, ZOREE or sLowi.
Two players who I would look to have some exposure to for contrarian reasons are hoody and roeJ. hoody has been outshined by doto as the third-best player on HAVU throughout FLASHPOINT, but if you compare the two since the roster was formed, it becomes clear that hoody is the stronger player. He has outperformed doto in several statistical categories, including K/D ratio (1.06 vs. 0.98) and kills/round (0.71 vs. 0.66).

He has outperformed doto in several statistical categories, including K/D ratio (1.06 vs. 0.98) and kills/round (0.71 vs. 0.66). Additionally, he had two excellent showings against MAD Lions back when they were known as Tricked, posting a team-high K/D differential of plus-34 across both matches against the Danes.
roeJ is the entry-fragger on the side of MAD Lions, attempting a team-high 24.3 percent of his team's opening kills. This means that he dies quite a lot compared to his teammates, and his performances are very inconsistent. However, he definitely has the potential to pop off and put up big numbers, especially if MAD Lions sweep.
MAD Lions Players to Target: acoR ($7,800), Bubzkji ($11,800), sjuush ($10,200), roeJ ($9,000)
HAVU Players to Target: ZOREE ($10,400), sLowi ($10,600), hoody ($8,600)
