The Fantasy game for the 16-team online tournament is open for action.

Entropiq, DBL PONEY and HYENAS are among the sides set to compete in the fourth edition of the European Development Championship, a tournament series previously won by K23, Sprout, and SKADE.

The event will take place on June 9-27, with a GSL group stage leading up to the single-elimination BO3 playoffs. With just a few days left before the action begins, users are free to create their teams and enroll in leagues, such as the official Parimatch-sponsored competition which features Shadow Daggers as the main prize.

HYENAS are looking to put their foot down in EDC 4

As Aleksei "⁠El1an⁠" Gusev continues to dominate sub-top opposition, Entropiq's AWPer is one of the prime candidates to pick for the sniper role. In order to budget for the big hitter ($247,000), users could look towards HYENAS and Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup who comes in for just $176,000.

Members of Fiend and SKADE should not be overlooked either, as both Bulgarian teams sit inside the top 30 and are expected to make a deep run, while DBL PONEY are aiming to continue their strong form after parting ways with Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt.

The prizes for the official HLTV x Parimatch Fantasy league are as follows:

1. Shadow Daggers | Ultraviolet (Field-Tested)
2. AK-47 | Bloodsport (Field-Tested)
3. M4A4 | In Living Color (Field-Tested)

The winners of the official Fantasy leagues will be contacted via the email provided in their HLTV profile, and are required to respond to the email within a month to be eligible to receive their prizes.
