Whether you're new to fantasy or a seasoned player, our platform has everything you need to succeed at Powerplay.
Discover all you need to know in just 10 quick points.
1. What is Powerplay? In a few words
As a fan of esports, particularly CS2, just imagine yourself as the owner — or manager — of a renowned esports club. A key difference, though, is that you are able to use way more players in your roster as your club comprises various players from different teams that are well-known in the real esports world.
Your objective is to assemble the best team from your esports club in a roster for a very specific time period (could be gameday, could be a whole playoffs segment) — for a specific real CS2 event, hosted at Powerplay in a fantasy tournament format.
This means you have the freedom to select and combine players without any limitations — you're the manager here!The performances of real CS2 players from your team in the actual CS2 tournament are tallied, resulting in the outcomes of your unique fantasy CS2 team.
The better esports players from your team perform in the real CS2 tournament, the more points they will earn for you.
Ultimately, the manager with the most effective team claims victory.
Couldn't be simpler, right?
