Fnatic (2-0) vs. OG (0-2)
Match day 3 of ESL Pro League Stage 2 opens with teams at opposite ends of the table in Fnatic and OG. Fnatic come in off of 2-1 victories against FaZe Clan and Astralis, putting them atop the group and in a solid place to progress. OG have fallen to mousesports and Na'vi and will be desperate to open their account in Stage 2 against the Swedish side. Fnatic's keys to victory will be the same as what they needed to overcome Astralis: strong performances across the board, with consistent early round pressure. The match against a slumping OG could also be a chance for Brollan and KRIMZ to show off the firepower that has seen them in the world top 5. OG, on the other hand, will be looking to mantuu and ISSAA, both of whom have shown the potential to compete against the very best. In the end, this match offers some great value if Fnatic can shut down the key players among OG.
FNC Players to Target: Brollan ($12,600 Captain, $8,400 Flex), KRIMZ ($10,200 Captain, $6,800 Flex)
OG Players to Target: Valde ($9,000 Captain, $6,000 Flex)
Na'vi (2-0) vs. mousesports (2-0)
World no. 1 Na'vi square off against world no. 4 mousesports in what could be the match of the day. Na'vi have looked dominant so far,

Na'vi (2-0) vs. mousesports (2-0)
World no. 1 Na'vi square off against world no. 4 mousesports in what could be the match of the day. Na'vi have looked dominant so far, reverse sweeping to 3-2 in Stage 1 and taking down OG and Astralis to start Stage 2 2-0. Na'vi come in off the back of a 2-1 win over OG, who took them to three maps, in a surprisingly close series. In the end, though, Na'vi's star power proved to be far too much for OG. Meanwhile, mousesports took OG down 2-0 and have looked thoroughly convincing throughout the tournament. While this match is absolutely filled with superstars, ropz, s1mple, frozen, and electronic, to name a few, it will be hard to predict if one player can take over the match. With value hard to find in such a tightly contested match and prices high, this may be a match to look for a superstar.
NaVi Players to Target: s1mple ($13,800 Captain, $9,200 Flex), electronic ($9,600 Captain, $6,400 Flex)
mouz Players to Target: ropz ($13,200 Captain, $8,800 Flex), frozen ($12,300 Captain, $8,200 Flex)
Astralis (0-2) vs. FaZe Clan (0-2)
Astralis have struggled greatly so far in ESL Pro League, as the team that many consider to be the greatest of all time have been unable to produce, starting 0-2. Coming in off the back of defeats to Na'vi and Fnatic, Astralis will know this match against FaZe Clan is must-win if they hope to progress. FaZe come in looking for their superstars to find their footing in Stage 2 of ESL Pro League. While NiKo has consistently been one of the very best in the tournament, the rest of their star-studded lineup has struggled to show up. While this match has potential to be another close one, Astralis have looked to be just barely off winning their first two matches and are due to turn it around. That said, this match should offer some of the very best value of the day, with two star-studded, but affordable, lineups.
