Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Once again the day went quite well, NaVi and Gambit both swept and came out victorious and our value play in nafany was spot on. This will be our semi-finals matchup as NaVi takes on Gambit as well as Heroic taking on G2. It should be a great slate of games, so let's dive right in.

PGL MAJOR STOCKHOLM 2021
Best of 3
- Heroic (+125) vs. G2 (-165)
- Gambit (+140) vs. NaVi (-185)
Captain Plays
NiKo: NiKo has been a beast during this tournament. He's averaged nearly a kill per round with his ADR at 97. He has a positive map in every single game played during the PGL Major. He carried his team to victory over NiP most recently with his 51 kill game in 2 maps. He has a K/D of 1.42 and a KPR of .88 and a DPR of .62. He has been one of the best in this tournament and I think he has the best matchup on this slate against Heroic who has snuck by in both of their Bo3 games so far.
B1T: Everyone knows by now that s1mple is the best option, so let's talk about what has been his right-hand man lately. B1t has been quite dominant throughout this tournament and I think he is a viable and cheap pivot to s1mple. He has carried a 1.55 K/D with a .78 KPR and a .50 DPR. He has been playing extremely well and only has one negative map in his last 6. This is going to be a big game for NaVi, and they are going to need him and s1mple to step up big to secure their spot in the finals.
Other captain plays in order of preference: s1mple, sh1ro, hunter, Stavn
Value Plays
nexa: nexa has been playing well, unfortunately, our pick of AmaneK on the previous G2 slate resulted in nexa eating and Amanek just hanging out. So if you are superstitious this is the time to go AmaNeK as nexa is in the spotlight this time around. During this tournament, nexa has stepped up, he isn't getting a lot of kills but he isn't dying a lot either and that is leading to positive K/Ds and in G2's case sweep bonuses as of late. This game is going to be tight but I think the trio of hunter, NiKo, and nexa overcome those challenges and move on. Nexa during the tournament is averaging a 1.25 K/D with a .70 KPR and a low .56 DPR.
Perfecto: Perfecto has been sneaky during this tournament and I think he really showed out in today's game against Vitality, which was much needed for NaVi. He dropped 50 kills on a +22 K/D differential today and he didn't show any signs of stopping. DraftKings has blessed us with his price at 6,200$, hopefully, we are catching him at the right time and we don't see him hit a brick wall and stall. I prefer Perfecto in full NaVi stacks but could be viable in the case of similar performance as today in smaller stacks or one-offs.
Other value plays in order of preference: Ax1le, Amanek, nafany, TeSeS(GPP), cadian (GPP)

Top Stacks / Team Picks
G2: The matchup between NaVi and Gambit is going to be tight and I can't quite get a read on who I think wins. NaVi is the obvious answer but Gambit has been playing well and has a good chance at an upset. G2 on the other hand I just think has the overall better team. Other than jackz, the team has been playing phenomenally. NiKo and hunter have been playing out of their minds and AmaneK, as well as nexa, have both stepped up into bigger roles and handled business. I see this being too much for Heroic to handle and we see G2 move on to the finals. NiKo, hunter, nexa, Amanek, and then jackz would be how I order the players based on performance and price during this tournament.
