Test your prediction skills and knowledge of tier-two CS by taking part in the Malta Vibes Fantasy game.

A brand-new Fantasy game is now open for play, this one being for the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 6 event that runs February 7-17. A single elimination best-of-three bracket will be fought out between 32 teams in Stage One, with the top eight finishers proceeding to Stage Two.

Stage Two is where the fantasy game kicks in, with eight directly invited teams joining the eight qualifiers from Stage One for another best-of-three single elimination bracket to crown the winner.

Many Fantasy stalwarts have started putting their teams together early, using only players from the eight teams directly invited to Stage Two. Spirit and ECSTATIC players are currently the most popular picks, with three from each of those two teams occupying the top eight most picked players. It seems Fantasy enthusiasts are backing those two teams to make it deep in the event.
