CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
HEN1 really stands out to me as a viable captain option on this slate. He is priced at $8,200 which is very cheap for someone who has carried a 1.38 K/D ratio over the last 16 maps played. Over that same stretch, he has had a .78 kill per round rate and a .56 death per round which is a tremendous differential to have from a player standpoint.
Another stat that truly stands out is that he has had 76% of rounds that he either had a kill, a kill assist, survived, or traded kills which shows how often he is acquiring points and limiting damage to your fantasy line. HEN1 serves as a great tournament option due to him possibly seeing lower ownership with other big names on this slate.
NiKo is on the higher-end of the pricing range for this slate but for good reason. He is averaging 74.6 DK points per game and has had six straight matches where he produced 60+ DK points per game. NiKo has had a 1.07 K/D ratio over the last month but this could be a great bounce-back spot as he has seen success against NiP. Since the beginning of 2020, he has had a 1.34 K/D ratio and a +34 K/D differential in games against NiP which really stands out. NiKo looks to be viable in all formats based on his history against his opponent and his overall consistency from a dfs scoring perspective.
Other captain plays: KSCERATO, Bubskji, S1mple
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
acoR has been scorching hot as of late with his csgo game. He is carrying a 1.24 K/D ratio over the last month while having a .74 kill per round rate and a .59 death per round rate. He has had three straight Bo3 matches where he has eclipsed 60+ DK points with his most recent outing hitting 98 DK points.
With his most recent outing, he could see increased ownership but as you also saw, if you do not roster him when he goes off, you’ll have a hard time cashing!
Coldzera will never be out of this $7,000 tier which means I’ll naturally gravitate towards him. Over the last 23 games played, he has produced a K/D ratio of 1.09 while having a .70 kill per round rate. Coldzera is more of a tournament play due to his up and down nature of play.
We have seen him produce 80+ DK points but have also seen him have some games where he barely hit above 40+ DK points so he is more suited for tournament lines rather than cash game lines.
Other value plays: yuurih, sjuush, nawwk, electronic

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
Furia has been on an absolute hot streak right now as they are winners of 12 out of their last 16 maps. Over that same stretch, they have produced a team K/D ratio of 1.14 which is extremely strong. Furia owns the head-to-head record of 6-3 against 100 Thieves with the most matchup resulting in a 2-1 win for Furia. They are winners of four of their last five matches and face a 100 Thieves team who has only had one win in their last five games played.
Over the last month, Furia has had three of their players carry a 1.20 K/D ratio or above. HEN1 leads the way with a 1.38 and his price is very viable for how well he has played. KSCERATO and yuurih are the other two players that must be looked at as they are very strong players and both bring upside that you might need for your lineups.
FaZe is a little bit riskier stack to run on this slate. They are winners of three of their last five games but have unfortunately dropped two straight matches. In addition, they have only carried a .97 K/D ratio over the last month so they haven’t been in the best of form. On the flip side, they own the career head-to-head record against NiP with a 7-3 record and have a Bo3 win against NiP last month.
FaZe’s big three are all in play with NiKo leading the way with a career 1.34 K.D ratio against NiP. Broky and coldzera serve as other cheaper value options that have both seen success against NiP previously while also carrying above a 1 K/D ratio over the last month.
Other stacks/teams: MAD
