The Stockholm Major Day 1 Fantasy Guide

The Stockholm Major starts on May 12. The event will have a fantasy league, which will use DPC league fantasy cards. We made a guide, helping you to pick the best team from the cards you have.

This season Fantasy is going to be a bit weird, because most players have cards from specific regions, instead of all participants. So if you have a lot of cards from stronger regions, you are in a better position.

Resolut1on comes back to Dota 2

Overall tips and rules:

• While only the best series will count, it's still beneficial to pick a team which plays more matches in a given day, unless it's a clear outsider. This way players will have more opportunities to gain a better score.
• The best teams to pick are those who are expected to play a longer series and win in it. The winning part is especially important for cores, as supports get most of their points even if they lose.
  
• On average, plain card of a stronger player is better than silver or gold of a weaker one.
  
• For Core slots carries are must picks. For Supports it's much better to pick a support who does most of the warding for the team.

Teams that play two matches on May 12:
