Find out which players from the 14 confirmed teams are good picks for the Fantasy game that kicks off on July 1 and features skin prizes provided by Pinnacle.

The $100,000 Pinnacle Cup II brings action featuring teams such as Entropiq, ENCE, and SINNERS, with the majority of the slots for the 16-team BO3 Swiss stage of the tournament now filled.

Squads such as Sangal, Young Ninjas, and 100PG are still looking to earn their place in Stage 2 through the GSL group stage, with the final two group winners set to be added to Fantasy after their games are finished.

Looking at the teams competing for the eight playoff spots, Entropiq stands out as a strong contender, being the only squad ranked among the top 20 in the world. While star AWPer Aleksei "⁠El1an⁠" Gusev might be tough to budget for ($241,000), stable performances are expected from Igor "⁠Forester⁠" Bezotecheskiy ($213,000), while Aleksei "⁠NickelBack⁠" Trofimov ($199,000) could do well combined with the leader role which rewards the team's results.

In terms of more affordable, yet still highly-performing AWPers, you can't look past Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz ($220,000) and Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný ($219,000). The former has inspired ENCE to win 30 of the 40 maps played since he joined, while the latter has spearheaded SINNERS' EPL-qualifying run alongside Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar ($219,000).

In terms of budget picks, TeamOne offers a good bang for the buck. The Brazilian team managed to overcome Extra Salt twice and win ESEA Premier North America, with Mario "⁠malbsMd⁠" Samayoa being a consistent force ($192,000) and Matheus "⁠pesadelo⁠" Panisset ($177,000) stepping up in the grand final (1.42 rating)
