device is my captain. He's $6,600, he's been a 51-point player, and that's the best average on a board where everybody is bunched between 36 and 52. The captain button is $9,900. I'll pay that. I will not pay nilo $9,200 for 50.7.
This is the semifinals of Stake Pulse Beat II, a $60,000 LAN in Sweden. White Market had the bracket yesterday. 100 Thieves play Astralis first, HEROIC play Sangal after. DraftKings locks the slate at 5:55 AM Eastern. The second game is 7:30. device left Astralis at the start of the year. This is the first time he plays them. That's the story, and the price agrees with it.
sirah is the other 100 Thieves piece I want. $5,800, 51.3. poiii is $8,200 for 49.8, which is fine and not the value. rain is $7,400 for 43. Gizmy is $5,000 for 37. If I need a fifth from that side, it's Gizmy, not rain.
phzy is how you get Astralis without paying Staehr. phzy is $6,200 and 48.5. Staehr is $8,600 and 48.7. Same player, two thousand dollars apart. jabbi and ryu are both low-40s in the $7,000s. HooXi is $5,200 and 36. He's the IGL price. I'm not captaining him.
nilo is the trap on HEROIC. MartinezSa is $8,800 for 51.1, which is the only HEROIC price I'd captain, and even then I'd rather have device. Brollan is $8,000 for 44. Chr1zN is $7,200 for 41. susp is $6,400 for 38. HEROIC's five on the board are MartinezSa, nilo, Brollan, Chr1zN, and susp. That's who I'm building.
Sangal is where the salary actually breaks. Joey is $5,600 and he's been a 47-point player. bnox is $4,800 and 46, and he just put up a 1.47 rating in the quarterfinal against JiJieHao. adamS is $6,800 for 46.5 if you want the third one. puuha at $4,400 and R4DYX at $6,000 are the leftovers.
Captain device. Flex sirah, phzy, Joey, bnox. Leave nilo's captain price alone.
