Fantasy fever has existed in other sports for a long time. But it is also available here on Gamer.no in the form of E-sport Fantasy in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive throughout the series in the Telialigaen.
Some play for honor and glory, others play for the most important thing:
Bragging rights.
Set up your Fantasy team here.
Brief introduction
Fantasy is about setting up a team consisting of five players who must be able to collect as many points as possible from round to round. These are categorized as All Rounders, AWP, Entry Fragger and Ingame Leader and it is recommended to familiarize yourself with how the different roles collect points.
When you can remember in your sleep how many Fantasy points you get after a result, and can take a doctorate in K/D ratio and opening duels, you still have to decide on the specials.
Because it’s not just about signing the five most expensive players from the best teams. You must stay within a budget of 50 special dollars to be distributed among your five chosen ones. This is where experience and knowledge can help select the right players, giving you an edge in the brutal battle against friends, teammates and actual competitors.

Last year’s winner shares his thoughts
The man who ran away with the victory last year was Sondre “fibb0” Gjerde. Naturally enough, we had a chat with whoever has the biggest share of “bragging rights” before the season gets underway.
Sondre “fibb0” Gjerde will try to defend first place in Fantasy from last year.
Foxed
– Congratulations on the victory last year, how are you going to repeat it this year?
– It probably happens naturally when you are simply better.
Is there a saying that says that you get wiser with age,
but I don’t know if it’s right for me. It will probably be picking
blindly like last year to forget about fantasy for four weeks, jokes Gjerde.
When asked which three tips he would recommend to new players, last year’s winner is short and consistent.
– Ruyter, ruyter and awp are free points!
Gjerde becomes more specific about how he thinks in terms of tactics for the season.
– Usually used to plan more than just one round at a time.
Checking for example with IGL and who is going to crush opponents the most as position gives so many extra points.
AWP is only a first with palm1, as long as it is not kaas
I feel quite stable. No, he is a hidden diamond!
– All-rounder is just who baits the most for K/D and knife!
This is how the first round of the series looks like.

Over and underrated players
It is often wise to find value in which players are better than expected, and which players cost more than you can accept.
Most overpriced?
– KORN on Entryfragger and 10.7. Inflation has gone too far.
Most underpriced?
– only 10.2 on routes like Entryfragger, easiest steal of the season, concludes Gjerde.

– Choose me as Ingame Leader because we will win all the games
Preben “Trax” Martinsen from 777 is also fond of E-sport Fantasy
Eivind Von Døhlen/Good Game
It is known that many of the players in the first division like to rush in Fantasy. Ingame Leader in 777, Preben “Trax” Martinsen is no exception.
– My best tips are to check the next matches of the players you choose. Then you can see when it might be a good idea to replace them. It might be a good idea to find one or two star players who can pick up points evenly throughout the season.
Regarding tips for new players, Martinsen could highlight himself as the Ingame Leader, with clear logic:
– Choose me as Ingame Leader because we will win all the games.
The 777 player is also clear on who he thinks is over and underpriced:
– The most overpriced is “cunning”, which is not good for Steffen’s ego. The most underrated is me as the fifth most expensive Ingame Leader.
For those looking for a joker, Martinsen can single out Wizard’s new addition Simen “Sido” Rem.
– The biggest joker for this season is clearly “Sido”, he is in his right role this season and will pick up a lot of points.
At 18:00 next Monday, the series starts. Remember to set up your Fantasy team well in advance so you don’t miss the first round of the series.
