With the Big Event done, another Fantasy game has also finished. Let's take a look at the best performing players and user teams over the course of DreamHack Masters Dallas.

Liquid made another step toward the Intel Grand Slam title by winning DreamHack Masters Dallas, overtaking Astralis and currently sitting on two out of the four necessary championships. Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski was outstanding in their run, earning the MVP award, but who was the most valuable player in the Fantasy game?

Coming in for only $189,000, olofmeister was the best pick in the Money Draft mode

Surprisingly enough, EliGE didn't make the ideal lineup in the money draft league as a result of his very high initial price ($224,000), and neither did Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo, the player with the most points from the runners-up team ENCE.

The ideal lineup was, therefore, an unexpected one, featuring Liquid's cheapest player Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip paired with the leader role, two FURIA members, as well as Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli and Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer.

The ideal lineup is available below:

Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli: 209 pts + 60 (AWP) = 269
Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer: 171 + 33 (Attacker) = 204
Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos: 156 + 35 (Stat hunter) = 191
Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip: 116 + 60 (Leader) = 176
Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan: 108 + 60 (Entry) = 168

Without roles, Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard and Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire make the cut for the ideal lineup, as they outperformed Stewie2K and arT if bonus points aren't taken into account.

The highest-ranked player in HLTV.org's public league, hixu1122, selected three of the five members featured in the ideal lineup, securing a total of 907 points.

The fight for the top of the point list was tough, with three players finishing with five points of each other. As previously mentioned, sergej brought in the most points, Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut also did well, while Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, with 126 points, certainly didn't live up to his $236,000 price tag.

1. Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo - 213 points
2. Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski - 209 points
3. Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli - 209 points
4. Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut - 175 points
5. Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer - 171 points
6. Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos - 156 points
7. Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard - 155 points
8. Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken - 128 points
9. Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson - 128 points
10. Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač - 126 points
