DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 (Best of 3)

• Vitality vs. Natus Vincere
• Fnatic (-105) vs. FaZe (-130)
• Evil Geniuses (-170) vs. Gen. G (+125)

 

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations

S1mple is a CSGO legend hence why he is priced up at $10,200 on this slate. He is averaging 73.3 DF points per game and has a 1.67 K/D ratio over the last month. S1mple has a .91 kill per round rate while having a .54 death per round rate as well which is just insane from a kill and death round perspective. He has a career K/D ratio of 1.13 against Vitality which is pretty solid. S1mple has the highest upside on the slate so make sure you get some sort of exposure to him!

Broky is just $7,600 but could be a good value captain play on this slate. Over the last month, he has produced a 1.15 K/D ratio while having a .64 kill per round rate and just a .56 death per round rate. Over the last five months, he has faced Fnatic three times and has accrued a 1.02 K/D ratio against them. He is coming off of his worst performance in over a month but this is someone who had eight straight matches where he had 50+ DK points before his 37 point game against Spirit. With his price point relatively low, it opens up some salary relief and allows you to spend up on some solid players while still having upside in rostering him.

Other captain plays: zyw0o, Brollan, autimatic

 

CS:GO DFS Value Plays

Electronic is $6,800 on this slate and is an intriguing option to consider for your lineups. He is averaging 49.8 DK points per game and has had a 1.11 K/D ratio over the last three months. In that same time span, he has had a .70 kill per round rate while having a .63 death per round rate. In his last eight games played, he has eclipsed over 50+ DK points five times which is solid for a value play. He looks to be one of the more viable Navi players on this slate so if you are looking for cheap exposure from this game, it starts with looking at electronic. 

Coldzera is just $7,000 which is extremely cheap for someone who is averaging 55.8 DK points per game. He carries a tremendous amount of upside and he is also in consideration for the captain spot. But he is also volatile so he is better in that role for tournament lineups. He has had nine straight games where he has scored 40+ DK points per game with three of those games topping 80+ DK points. Over the last month, he has accrued a 1.17 K/D ratio and has a .73 kill per round rate. He has faced Fnatic three times since the beginning of 2020 and has a 1.02 K/D ratio in those games so he is more of a tournament type play.

Other value plays: BnTeT, Bymas, s0m

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks

FaZe looks to be in better form compared to Fnatic as they have won three of their last five games and look to be the Vegas favorite in this matchup. Fnatic has played 21 maps over the last month and has gone 9-12 during that stretch while having a team K/D ratio of .96. FaZe has gone 17-9 in their last 26 maps played and has carried a 1.07 team K/D ratio during that stretch so they look to be playing better from an overall standpoint. NiKo and coldzera lead this team with 1.17 K/D ratios over the last month with broky right behind them with a 1.15 K/D ratio. Bymas is still trying to fit in with this squad but offers up an extreme value due to his price point. 

Gen. G is coming off of a tough loss to 100 Thieves but gets an opportunity to redeem themselves against a quality opponent in Evil geniuses. EG has only won one of their last five games played while Gen. G are winners of three of their last five games. EG owns the career head to head record 7-2 but Gen. G owns the most recent win back in February against them. Over the last three months, Gen. G owns a 1.02 team K/D ratio while Evil G. has a .98 team K/D ratio over the same timeframe so Gen. G has the edge in that category. The same Gen. G members are in play which is autimatic, koosta and BnTeT.

Other stacks/teams: Natus Vincere
