Fantasy: Malta Vibes Knockout Series 2 open for action

Players from FURIA, Entropiq, and ENCE are up for selection in the Fantasy game.

The Malta Vibes Knockout Series 2 returns on September 13 with its specific, cutthroat format, featuring a single-elimination bracket from start to finish. Teams are invited into two different stages, both of which are a part of the Fantasy game, which provides some unique challenges for Fantasy players.

If FURIA can avoid an early upset, KSCERATO is destined to bring in points

Teams sitting in the top 20 are all invited to the second stage, seeing their players miss out on two matches in Stage 1 and have fewer opportunities to rack up Fantasy points. Therefore, going for the best from Stage 1 such as players from MOUZ NXT, 00NATION, or Lyngby Vikings could be the best option, in combination with a few big hitters such as Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz ($229,000) or Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato ($234,000).
