The first Fantasy game of the year is open for business, with skin prizes provided by CS.money up for grabs for the best.

Users are free to select players for their Fantasy teams and create leagues to compete in for BLAST Premier Global Final 2020, which will take place on January 19-24.

The $1 million tournament will feature eight of the best teams in the world —including Astralis, Natus Vincere, and Vitality —, which will battle out in a double-elimination bracket to decide the winner.

Evil Geniuses players could be the difference-makers in Fantasy

Members of Astralis and Vitality are most popular selections at the moment, with Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač ($214,000) and Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo ($186,000) garnering a lot of attention as well.

As always, finding good differential players will be instrumental to success. Evil Geniuses' Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz ($179,000) could be such a player, while François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay ($180,000) is another budget-friendly pick who could propel a Fantasy team forward.

Users that want to compete for a chance at winning skin prizes provided by our partner CS.money should join the official Fantasy league, where the top three placed teams will be rewarded.

HLTV x CS.money Fantasy league prizes:

1. Gut Knife | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)

3. AK-47 | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
