How to play Fantasy Counter Strike – Fanteam Scoring System
Fanteam receives points for fantasy cs:go players continuously through live feeds from the stat provider, during and up until right after each match. The points are given based on the player’s performance in the game, which can generate both positive and negative value.
The stat team will verify all stats directly after the match to ensure the best quality possible before finalizing the points. Their result is official and will only be changed if they are obviously wrong scoring.
The following table is from the Fanteam Support Center.

Fanteam Scoring System explained
- *) We have 4 types of Enemy kills in our fantasy scoring: Headshot Kill, Knife Kill, Grenade kill and Kill (all the other kills that don’t match the other 3 categories). Team Kill does not have the types – it does not matter if it was a knife Team Kill or a Headshot Team Kill, equal points are awarded.
- **) Entry kill is the first kill of the round. Quad – a player kills 4 enemies in a round, Ace – a player kills 5 enemies in a round. Points for these events are added on top of Enemy kills. Both Quad and Ace points can not be awarded in the same round – it is either Quad or Ace.
- ***) Assist is given if a player deals at least 41 damage and the enemy dies afterwards in any way. There can only be one Assist per Kill, so if two players dealt the same amount of damage, the first one to deal the damage gets the Assist.
- Flash assist case: Player A throws a flashbang grenade and blinds an enemy. Player B kills the enemy while he is blind. Player A then gets a Flash assist.
- ****) The player receiving points for this is the last man alive on his team, playing anywhere from 1 to 5 enemies. To get the points he must win the round. It does not matter if he kills the enemy, or wins through defusing/exploding the bomb.
- *****) Only the player who planted the bomb gets the point.
- ******) Only the player who defused the bomb gets the point.
