WePlay Academy League Season 5 Fantasy game now live

The first Fantasy game since the end of the spring season is open to play.

WePlay Academy League Season 5 is set to star on July 25, giving Counter-Strike fans something to watch during the tournament break. The online event will host 14 academy teams fighting for $100,000 as the next generation of players show off their skills.

As usual, the tournament will be accompanied by a new edition of the Fantasy game, allowing players to compete in the HLTV x Roobet League for skin prizes. This is a non-seasonal version of the game, meaning it will not contribute any points to a leaderboard.

MOUZ NXT will be looking to make it five trophies in a row

There are some things to keep in mind. Firstly, as the round robin groups contain an uneven number of teams, not all squads will compete in every round, meaning players will not earn points in the two rounds they are set to skip.

Secondly, as Young Ninjas and PROSPECTS are yet to announce their new rosters, they will not be featured in the Fantasy game until their official lineups are revealed.

It should come to no surprise to see MOUZ NXT players dominate the list of the most popular picks considering the dominance they've shown in this tournament series. Hubert "⁠szejn⁠" Światły ($195,000) tops the charts in terms of pick rate, with Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek ($216,000) and Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman ($224,000) also making an appearance. Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak also makes the cut despite being the most expensive player in the game with a $230,000 price tag to his name.

BIG Academy are represented by Nico "⁠Aqua⁠" Kembitzky ($191,000) and Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne ($215,000), while newcomers to the league ENCE Academy also make their appearance in the most popular picks with Youssef "⁠juissi⁠" Adam ($199,000) and Veeti "⁠S1rva⁠" Sirva ($169,000).

The prizes for the HLTV x Roobet League are as follows:

1. Navaja Knife | Blue Steel (Field-Tested)
2. M4A1-S | Dark Water (Field-Tested)
3. USP-S | Dark Water (Field-Tested)

Please take note of the Fantasy rules before competing as they provide important information regarding the prizes, eligibility, and selection of winners. Fantasy is free of charge and can be played in official HLTV leagues, as well as independently organized private and public ones.
