The $30,000 event with six top-40 squads in the competition will feature a Fantasy game with skin prizes provided by Parimatch.

The European Development Championship 3 will take place on April 7 - May 2, with sixteen teams competing at the event which kicks off with a GSL group stage and is followed by single-elimination playoffs.

HLTV.org users are free to enter the Fantasy game for the tournament which allows them to create teams out of players participating in the tournament, within the given budget, and enter leagues such as the official HLTV x Parimatch one, where prizes are on offer.

Forester's ex-Winstrike are the highest-ranked team at the event

Squads such as ex-Winstrike, Sprout, and ESL Pro League attendes Endpoint are the ones most fans will be looking at when picking their rosters, but stars of SINNERS and SKADE — Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný and Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov —, shouldn't be overlooked either.

A couple of other familiar faces are attending the tournament, such as Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt, Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski, Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin, and Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli, all competing alongside their countrymen in domestic lineups.

The HLTV x Parimatch Fantasy league for the European Development Championship 3 has the following prizes:

1. Driver Gloves | Convoy (Field-Tested)
2. AK-47 | Bloodsport (Field-Tested)
3. AWP | Redline (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.
