The Fantasy for ESL Pro League Europe was split into three games for the three groups, with the best performing users in each winning prizes. Read who the best players to pick were and which users will be receiving prizes for their teams.

Plopski showed great form in NiP's EPL run

A surprising star of Group A was Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora, who secured 106 points and propelled Ninjas in Pyjamas to a play-in spot, with Astralis trio Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz, Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen, and Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth following in close order. Vitality duo Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy and Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon closed out the ideal lineup for the group.

Best lineup for ESL Pro League S11 Group A:

Nicolas "⁠Plopski⁠" Gonzalez Zamora (Attacker): 128
Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth (Leader): 107
Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen (Defender): 85
Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy (HS Machine): 50
Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon (Support): 38

In group B, it was Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev who stood out the most, but the ideal lineup was an unexpected one, consisting of a number of underdog picks such as Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade and Dmitriy "⁠facecrack⁠" Alekseyev.

Best lineup for ESL Pro League S11 Group B:

Bogdan "⁠xsepower⁠" Chernikov (Main AWP): 94
Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer (Defender): 75
Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson (Multi Fragger): 63
Dmitriy "⁠facecrack⁠" Alekseyev (Entry Fragger): 57
Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade (HS Machine): 40

A similar thing happened in Group C as the best performers Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač and Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač didn't make the ideal lineup due to their high price, instead, the likes of Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David and Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub were in the highest achieving roster.

Best lineup for ESL Pro League S11 Group C:

Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub (Main AWP): 89
Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David (HS Machine): 84
Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants (Support): 64
Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad (Multi Fragger): 55
Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt (Defender): 42
