Slate Overview:

On Friday, we have another large slate with seven series total. My favorite team to stack is G2 as (-555) moneyline favorites. G2 will likely be popular on Draftkings, but they are facing elimination and they are a much better team than GamerLegion, so this should be a great spot for them. HuNter- has been on fire and he is currently the highest-rated player at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A. I think he will continue his good form and he is my favorite play on the entire slate. MIBR also looks like a fairly safe stack as (-800) moneyline favorites. My favorite play on MIBR is JOTA as he has shown excellent form with a 1.17 Rating at this event, which leads his team. The rest of the slate feels fairly ‘coin-flippy’ to me, for lack of a better word. A lot of these match-ups could easily go either way depending on the form that the teams bring to the server. In order of priority, my next favorite teams to stack would be O PLANO, Sprout, Imperial, 00NATION, and Eternal Fire. 

Top Four Core Plays:

I’m limiting my favorite plays on this massive slate to my top four core plays, though there are a number of different ways to attack the slate.

huNter- ($8,200) 

NiKo ($9,200) 

JOTA ($7,400) 

brnz4n ($9,400)
