[Kiev Major 2017] Fantasy Challenge Predictions in General Discussion
yt@serbiangamer

    I dont see topic about this subject, so I will open one where we can discuss our player choices over the next week.
    This will concern all battle pass owners, if you dont own battle pass, you can not make any predictions.
    Because Kiev Major has new format, all teams are in one group, it is very hard to make good predictions for day 1, where you can
    usually get most points. For more info visit Reddit post here https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/66w9k7/the_kiev_major_group_stage_initial_seeds_schedule/?st=j1uoicvd&sh=c1857525
    The trick is to pick good player from your player cards collection (use silver card for extra points bonus) and to hope his team will win every matchup 2-1, bcs they all play best of 3. You will get less points if team of the chosen player win every matchup 2-0.
    There used to be golden cards as well, but I dont have them, I dont know if they are not available anymore or I just had bad luck with opening, if you have golden card pls tell me, I am curious if they still exist.
    Also small tip for battle pass owners, you can predict 25 group stage battle predictions so you get achievement and extra 1000 points for your compendium, there will be predictions for main event as well, where you can get up to 8000 points.
    You just need to watch/spectate games from in game and bet before the match begins. After predictions are closed, you can jump into another game and make new predictions there so you maximize your win potentional.
    As for the player cards for the first day of fantasy challenge goes, I put :

    Core: Sccc Newbee
    CoreL: Ana OG (Silver Card)

    Offlaner: KheZu Team Secret

    Support: Jerax OG
    Support: PieLieDie Team Secret

    I want to know what you guys put in there as your choice.
    Also, small notice for the end, you can get 8.000 points from fantasy challenge if you are top 10% of all scoring.
    In order to do that, you need to have more than 1.200 fantasy challenge points minimum.
    So, make some smart picks and GL to you all!

      I have golden cards, they still exist

      yt@serbiangamer

        Good for you man, and GL!

          Is it better to have silver cards with good stats over gold cards with bad stats?

          Wuff Time in Dota 2

            It is all about stats, if you have a gold carry with "obs wards placed" vs a silver carry with "deaths" you pick silver every day of the week, it depends what the stats are and what the percentages are, and also if you think they'll do well.

            Totentanz to The King: M ...

              ana, Ramzes (I think VP will do well, don't put him if you think they won't), kpii, solo and fly (these two are ward bitches and they give the most points).

              Ryzel

                All my fantasy players are gold and silver.. .don't want to put the common card....hehe...btw i regret not putting midone....gl to all

                boop

                  my day1 was:

                  sumail, sccc cores
                  xxs offlane
                  fly, solo supports

                  the trick to the fantasychallenge is to just pick midlaners for cores, s4, kpii or xxs for offlane and people that wardbitch for supports - kaka, saksa , pieliedie etc

                    Having trouble with Burning gold card, it is not counting. What should I do guys?

                    Saegard

                      3 cards not counting :( (mouz / VGJ)
                      anybody know if it will be updated later ?

                      тяιggєя

                        I have Ramzees Universe and Boboka Gold cards set in my rooster and BOBOKA isnt giving a single points when IG match has ben done and other cards gave points tf

                        cogarzzz

                          Is there any rewards for group stage in-game prediction for battle pass owners?

                          MT

                            How much levels or compendium points does this fantasy challenge gives. Its been quite a few majors but i haven't been able to deduct how much levels does these gives.

                            yt@serbiangamer

                              @chilbluf, there are, but they are bugged now, even if you have correct predictions, they dont count towards achievement that can grant you 1000 battle pass points
                              @mtuzumaki if you are in top10% with your score, you can get 8000 points, or 8 levels, thats the maximum from fantasy challenge
                              But here is one question I really want to know the answer:
                              does all silver cards for same player have identical bonuses?
                              I mean, mine silver card OG ANA and your silver card OG ANA ?
                              really curious about that

                                cogarzzz

                                  i troll

                                    sccc
                                    notail silver (but still shit no point from him)
                                    injuly(i dont know why i used this )
                                    puppey gold (he is even worse than notail wish i could recycle it after using)
                                    maybe next time silver

                                    i troll

                                      @420 no they may have different bonuses its changing so dont recycle before reading bonuses

                                      Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                        Each silver/gold card has a bonus of 5 to 25% (intervals of 5) on one of the stats (wards, kills, deaths etc). Silver cards have 3 different bonuses while golden ones have 5.

                                        Prolified

                                          u dont need more than 1200 to get top 10 percentile.just 1050+ is enough.i have got 1172 in my prev fall pass and i got 93 percentile.
                                          My picks for today are
                                          core
                                          Madara(Gold)
                                          Freeze(Gold)
                                          offlane
                                          samH(Gold)
                                          Support
                                          Crit(Silver)
                                          Kaka(Siilver)
                                          and i have got 335 points overall on first day

                                          Arash

                                            For the D2 i suggest u pick player in team with 1-1 score, cause if u pick on team with 2-0 or 0-2 probably that team will not play in 4th round. u can see the score here http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Kiev_Major/2017/Group_Stage

                                            Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                              Today's bug (only games starting after 10 am EET (the roster-lock time) count) may occur again, so just in case, you should be careful about putting players from VP/TnC/Secret/iG/EG/Newbee/Thunderbirds/VG.J. The best teams to go for are OG and Liquid.

                                              eXCesSwOw

                                                I have a gold BurNIng and I got 45 points today
                                                You can see here http://fantasy.prizetrac.kr/kievmajor2017/players that he got 82.9 with a normal card .. so I should have more than that.
                                                Can valve update this in game maybe.. ?

                                                Isurugi Noe

                                                  I had got 245 total then they decreased my w33 golden card point from 110 to 82 ...and I still found that valve needs to learn MAths .They are very bad at summing.

                                                  Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                                    Valve just hotfixed a bug that was causing all 3 games of a bo3 (instead of the two highest scoring games) giving points, so some players/teams with 5-6 games played will give less points now. They still didn't fix the original bug though.

                                                    boop

                                                      what's everyone going with for day2?

                                                      Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                                        In hopes that Valve will fix that bug, I'm going with Sccc, Sumail, s4, fly and Saksa. All bronze though FeelsBadMan

                                                        boop

                                                          think I'm gonna go with abed over sccc and kaka over saksa, otherwise same predictions

                                                                  my w33 =14.49+ 9.36 3.84 4.51 12 4 9.24 1 5 16.5 4 8.35 total according to valve=82.13 but i f i add they equal to 92.29.SOme one explain me the reason.

                                                                          first day gold miracle gave me 73 points. wondering if i should switch ana for gold miracle, cos miracle didn't do so well on 2nd day of groupstage as far as i can tell.

                                                                          if anyone has any good ideas for first day of main event let me know pls thanks. untill then i will wonder my pretty head off about using gold miracle or ana

                                                                          TurtleSwift

                                                                                      For main event day 1, you should put anybody you can from VP. They will have a very easy matchup. The only problem is that if the games last too short (20-30 minutes), then they will give less points.

                                                                                      boop

                                                                                        VP's going to 2-0 for sure, and imo are going to give out less points than other teams going 2-1 with longer avg. time games

                                                                                        Natsume

                                                                                          TurtleSwift

                                                                                            Got 190 points for day 1. How did you guys do?

                                                                                            day 2: ana, sumail, samH, fly, saksa. 2 silver/3 blue.

                                                                                            Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                                                                              VP gave less than expected, short games. At least they got first blood both games, so that's something. Going with ana Sumail Moon (use Universe if you have him instead) saksa and fly tomorrow.

                                                                                              CHemisto
