Despite carrying the second-highest price tag in the game at $250,000, donk has become one of the most sought-after players in ESL Pro League Season 24 Fantasy. Statistics reveal the Russian sensation appears on approximately one-third of all Fantasy rosters.
The massive investment reflects donk's consistent point-scoring ability, particularly during group stage matches. However, his premium cost creates significant roster construction challenges for Fantasy managers attempting to build competitive lineups around him.
One potential solution involves pairing donk with karrigan, the cheapest available player from top-tier competing teams. While this budget pick might seem obvious for cost-conscious managers, there's a notable risk involved. karrigan's three-month average rating sits at just 0.81, suggesting he could actually drain points even when his team secures victories.
ESL Pro League Season 24 features sixteen teams competing in a Swiss-format group stage, with all matches played as best-of-three series. Fantasy participants should note that Legacy will compete with bobz filling in for arT during the group stage.
Fantasy managers can compete for attractive prizes sponsored by Hellcase, including Shadow Daggers Tiger Tooth as the top prize, followed by premium AK-47 and AWP skins for runners-up. The playoff Fantasy game will launch on October 7th following the group stage conclusion.
Meanwhile, the ROG JOURNEY Autumn 2026 tournament offers another Fantasy opportunity, featuring four six-team round-robin groups. Many unranked team players in this event carry a standard $180k price due to limited statistical data.
