Karrigan most-picked ahead of Falcons debut at PGL Astana

Finn “karrigan” Andersen will make his first appearance as Falcons’ in-game leader at PGL Astana 2026. He is listed at $183,000 in the event fantasy game and appears in more than half of submitted teams.

The fantasy contest covers only the 16-team Swiss group stage. All group-stage matches are best-of-three.

Falcons enter the event ranked third among participating squads. Organizers published player prices and pick rates for the group-stage-only fantasy game, and karrigan’s inclusion rate exceeds 50 percent of fantasy rosters.

MOUZ will have two debutants in Astana: Justinas “jL” Lekavicius at $204,000 and Adrian “xelex” Vincze at $205,000. Lekavicius is the sixth-most-selected player in the game, appearing in about 19 percent of lineups.

The PGL Astana fantasy product is limited to the group stage. A separate upcoming event, IEM Atlanta 2026, will use single-game scoring that applies across the entire tournament. Entrants can build rosters on the event fantasy page before group play begins.

Prizes for the fantasy contest are sponsored by Hellcase. First place receives a Huntsman Knife | Bright Water (Minimal Wear). Other top rewards include an M4A1-S | Player Two (Minimal Wear), an AK-47 | Searing Rage (Factory New), and an AWP | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested).
