CBCS Elite League 2021 Season 2 (BO1)
Best of 1
- Black Dragons vs. KG Network (-165)
- Patins da Ferrari (-155) vs. GKC
- Bravos (-240) vs. Santos
- DETONA (-200) vs. SWS
Captain Plays
nqz is the best player on the slate and while the price tag is very high, he is worth paying up if you have the salary to squeeze him in. Over the last 15 maps that he has played, nqz has managed to go +104 and has totaled a K/D ratio of 1.47 during that time span. He has a very strong .83 kill per round rate and a low death per round of .56 and has accrued a K/D ratio of 1.67 in four maps played against SWS over the last six months.
detr0ittjl is the strongest player from the black dragon's squad and if they have any shot of beating the KG Network, it will be because of him. When looking at his last three months' worth of games being played, he has produced a 1.09 K/D ratio and has managed to go plus in four out of the last six matches that he has played.
Other captain plays in order of preference: lux
Value Plays
bsd has been a top performer for Santos for the last month of maps played and with his pricepoint relatively low, he would be one to consider in tournament builds. He has a 1.32 K/D ratio over his last five maps played and has a +24 K/D differential which leads the entire squad. This Santos team has been playing well in these BO1 formats as they have won four of the last five matches they have played and part of that goes back to the form that bsd has been in.
UnK has been in great form for the KG Network squad and while he is a tad higher than some of the value plays we look at, his recent has been great. He has managed to go plus in four of his last five matches played and has gone +12 and +3 in the last BO1 series that he has played. In just two maps played against the Black Dragons, UnK has managed to go +12 and have a 1.43 K/D ratio in that two-game span so he looks like a viable piece for your builds in all formats.
Other value plays in order of preference: beg0d, jAPA, FREQ, kNc

Top Stacks / Team Picks
DETONA is the top mini stack to focus on this four-game slate. They hold the map advantage over SWS by having a higher winning percentage on five of the seven playable maps and also have a much better team K/D ratio over their last month of games played as they are 7-8 with a team K/D ratio of 1 while SWS is 1-5 with a team K/D ratio of .90. DETONA also owns the head-to-head record as they are 3-1 in four total maps played against SWS with the one loss coming in overtime.
DETONA features the top player on the slate and also has one of the higher vegas odds to win so it makes sense to look to roster two of their players. The top guy to look at is nqz and while he is pricey, he is worth every penny. Other guys to consider would be the cheaper guys like frostezoR and NikoM with NikoM being the safer of the two options.
Other Stacks: Santos
