And that's it! Thank you to Wessel Minnie (@Sillicur) for supplying us with these predictions and images. Also, thank you to Reddit user, Filthy Slark Picker, for their Fantasy guide and analysis.

How do we determine the best Dota 2 TI10 Fantasy Roster?

The metric that we follow to determine the best Dota 2 Fantasy roster is heavily reliant on the schedule. In general, teams that play more games will gain more points. For example, a player with subpar performance in 3 games will outperform a player with a superb performance in only 2 games.

As pointed out by Reddit user, Filthy Slark Picker, an important factor to consider is that every series comprises 4 games, which results in one of the 9 teams in each group getting 1 series less on any particular day. This leaves only 6 teams to play on Days 1-3 and only 7 teams to play on Day 4.

To maximize points, we've selected players from the 6 teams that play 3 games. This gives us a pool of 30 players to choose from. We've prioritized position 1 players for Core slots, where kills, deaths, tower kills, and team fights are prioritized over runes, GPM and CS.

We hope that these predictions will help you rack up some crazy points. We'll be posting our TI10 Fantasy predictions daily for the duration of the tournament, so be sure to check out our dedicated Dota 2 section for more updates!
