Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have to admit, I am having a ton of fun playing and covering eSports DFS at RotoBaller! As always, I will do my best to give you the stats and info you need to build the best lineups possible for your GPP and cash game CS:GO contests on DraftKings which can also be related to FanDuel contests as well.
We have a two-game slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the Perfect World Asia League. This is a new league to CSGO DFS with teams that we haven't seen or discussed yet in previous articles. With it being a two-game slate, there should be a heavy focus on stacking the team that you think will sweep!

Perfect World Asia League (PAL)
Best of 3
- Lucid Dream vs. Beyond
- Mazaalai vs. Bren
Lucid Dream vs. Beyond
In the opening game of this early morning two-game slate, we get a Bo3 matchup between the #119 ranked Lucid Dream and the #102 ranked Beyond. Beyond looks to be the stronger team as they are winners of three of their last five matches and have gone 4-0 against Lucid Dream in the past two months. In addition, Beyond gets the edge on recent form as they have gone 12-10 over the last 22 matches played while having a team K/D ratio of 1.02. Lucid Dream enters this matchup only having a .93 K/D ratio and has had a 6-12 record over their last 18 maps played. Beyond also controls the map advantage as they have had a higher winning percentage on six of seven viable tournament maps so they look to be the stronger team in this matchup.
Olivia is a great player to build your Beyond stacks around. He has had a 1.23 K.D ratio over the last 22 maps played and leads this Beyond squad in K/D ratio. Kntz ranks second on this squad in K/D ratio as he has produced a 1.03 ratio over the last month and is cheaply priced at $6,400 which makes him great value for this Beyond stack. QqGOD rounds out this squad as he has had a 1.03 K/D ratio over the last three months and has the second-highest K/D differential over that time frame. From a history against Lucid Dreams standpoint, Kntz has had really good success against them as he has gone +29 with a 1.44 K/D ratio in his four maps played. He could be considered as a salary saving captain option on this slate.
Pick: Beyond sweeps 2-0

Mazaalai vs. Bren
The second game of this slate features #143 ranked Mazaalai vs. #109 ranked Bren. Bren comes into this matchup as winners of three of their last five games while Mazaalai has lost three straight and has only won one out of their last five games. When looking at these squads from a recent form standpoint, Bren stands out big-time compared to Mazaalai. Mazaalai has gone 0-6 with a team K/D ratio of .80 with their new squad that they have assembled while Bren has gone 6-5 over their last 11 games with a 1.02 K/D ratio.
Bren looks to be the stronger club which means using their players should be the right way to go. Over the last month of games played, Papichulo has led this squad with a K/D ratio of 1.14. Witz is right behind him with a 1.11 K/D ratio over the same time span but has led this team since the start of 2020 with a 1.25 K/D ratio. Both players are viable in the captain role with the edge going to witz based on his overall performance this season. Derek and JA look to be viable options as a third member to stack if you were looking to complete a three-man stack.
Pick: Bren sweeps 2-0
Captain Picks: witz, Kntz, Papichulo, Olivia
Value/ other players to target: qqGOD, JA, Derek, PTC, Tsogoo
