Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Today did not go according to plan, Ence looked great on the first map and then fell asleep in maps 2 and 3 and ended up losing to Forze. Forze moves on to face BiG in the semi-finals. MAD Lions came out looking dominant and smoked MOUZ off the map and now move on to face a surging Fnatic team. These are going to be some close games.
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis, and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Saturday, November 13th, 2021, at 10:00, am.

DreamHack Open Novemeber 2021
Best of 3
- Fnatic (-240) vs. MAD Lions (+190)
- BiG vs. Forze
Captain Plays
Brollan/Smooya: This is more of a site thing as I love Brollan as a captain on DraftKings he is priced at 7,800$ which is a great find to get at captain especially with how well he has played in this tournament. On Fanduel, it doesn't really make a difference as much with the captain not costing more, but smooya is the cheapest of the big three and although he hasn't rocked anyone's socks off lately, he has still been playing well going +21 and +7 in his two respective games. I think both are a must roster but Brollan on DK might be my favorite captain play.
tabsen: tabsen has been killing it so far going +6 and +13 in their two games so far in the tournament. BiG is actually starting to look very good and I don't see them struggling with Forze. They smacked around MADLions in their previous match and I see MAD Lions as a much more difficult opponent than Forze. On FD he has scored 118 and 81, and on DK he has dropped 83 and 76. Both are very good scores and even if Forze does get a map win. Tabsen had 75 kills in three maps against GamerLegion. I could see something similar. Fire up the tabsen train.
Other captain plays in order of preference: gade, syrson, mezii, Woro2k, JL, zorte
Value Plays
Alex: So far during this tournament Alex has played well, and we are getting him on DraftKings at 5,600$. This slate is very top-heavy as Fnatic and BiG are all at the top of the pricing so finding what little value there maybe is going to be a win. So far during the tournament, Alex is holding a +10 K/D differential. Of course, getting the big three from this team is going to be what you want but getting them is difficult, so taking a slight hit and getting Alex at very cheap might be something we have to do. Plus I don't want any of KRIMZ and he is more expensive. Over the last month, Alex has had a 1.02 K/D with a .67 KPR and a .65 DPR.
Woro2k/JL: Another more dependent on your site type of play, Woro2k is getting disrespected on Fanduel plain and simple. He is far too cheap and far too good to be only 9,500$. Even on DraftKings, he is only 7,200$. More so on DraftKings though is JL, he has been playing stellar during this tournament and is only 6,400$. Both these guys should be heavily considered as value plays because that's exactly what they are. They both have high ceilings even in losses. Especially on Fanduel where you have to have third team one-off. Getting one of these guys is going to be crucial and are both salary savers. JL over the last month has had a 1.13 K/D with a .75 KPR and a .66 DPR. Woro2k has had a 1.10 K/D with a .70 KPR and a .65 DPR.
Other value plays in order of preference: k1to, Norwi(PUNT), KENSI(GPP)

Top Stacks / Team Picks
BiG: I think Fnatic and BiG are both very good options, but I love how well BiG is currently playing. They demolished a very good MADLions team and as a whole, this team seems to be working very well together. Gade has finally gotten into form and has played well during the tournament. Syrson has been a fantastic AWPer for the team and tabsen has been a great leader. K1to looked fantastic in their last game against MADLions and would be the only one of the rest I would consider. Tizian is too consistently at the bottom that, I can't fathom rostering him unless I know BiG is going to sweep and he will at least go positive. MAD Lions has been playing well so I give them the higher chance at an upset more so than Forze.
Predictions
BiG 2-0
Fnatic 2-1
