The actual southern Illyrians (Taulanti, Bylliones, Albanoi, Dardanians) and other northern Hellenized people like Epirotes and Macedonians would be somewhere around here
Adding Slavic ancestry to Mycenean Greeks you get a perfect fit to modern Greeks/Albanians. Southern Illyrians and Epirotes/Macedonians + Slavic ancestry are a perfect model for both northern Greeks and Macedonians. Certainly not Thracian/Dacian or any other already-eastern shifted people.
There is a lot of free interpretation here. You can argue that modern Greeks received more of the same source which turned Minoans into Mycenaeans. By this very model Mycenaeans could be 85% Minoan + 15% Slavic. In retrospect, if the proto-Greek source came from Epirus/Thessaly/Macedonia region, it would only make sense that this region would be pulled even further from Minoans towards the same direction as the Mycenaeans are pulled. A possible Dorian invasion could have pulled more of this source further South as well.
Also, you can draw a straight line from Greek Crete to Greek Helladic_MBA, and have the Greek mainland exactly in between. In fact, Greek Thessaly is exactly between Greek Crete and Greek Helladic_MBA (MBA Thessaly).
