Prizes for the best-placed users include Specialist Gloves and weapon skins.

As IEM Katowice 2021 reaches its playoff stage, where six teams will fight for the title from February 26-28 in a single-elimination bracket, the Fantasy game for the final part of the tournament opens for action.

Will s1mple pay off his $240,000 price tag?

Users can pick their lineup from the teams remaining in the tournament, with Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev coming in with the highest price, followed by fellow CIS AWPers Abdul "⁠degster⁠" Gasanov, Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov, and Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali.

Four Astralis members are priced below the $204,000 mark, making them affordable for those who believe in a deep run from the Danes. The cheapest sniper available is Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo ($184,000), who could provide immense value following a 1.12-rated group stage performance.

The official IEM Katowice HLTV Fantasy league prize pool is as follows:

1. Specialist Gloves | Buckshot (Field-Tested)
2. AWP | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
3. AK-47 | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
