Flashpoint 3 

Best of 3 Series

• Vitality (-385) vs. DBL PONEY
• Astralis (-115) vs. OG (-115)

 

Captain Plays:

Zyw0o is the clear-cut top option on this slate and it will be tough to gravitate away from him in all formats. Over his last 12 maps played, Zyw0o is carrying a 1.53 K/D ratio and has a strong .88 kill per round rate while having a low .58 death per round rate. Zyw0o has been in great form as his last three games have resulted in 89, 89, and 111 DK points and if he is able to replicate this kind of performance on Monday, he could be the highest-scoring player on the slate.

mantuu has been a dominant player for OG for quite some time and he really is showing that he is in good form as he has a 1.55 K/D ratio over his last 11 maps played. He is a very patient player as he has a .75 kill per round rate and a very low death per round rate which tells us he doesn't put himself in bad spots. mantuu had a very strong outing in March against Astralis as he went +16 and had a 1.73 K/D ratio in a 2-0 sweep.

Other captain plays: valde, dupreeh

 

Value Plays:

magisk has been playing the best CSGO out of anyone on Astralis over the last month and with him being priced at $6,600, he makes for a great value play. Magisk is carrying a 1.06 K/D ratio over the last 12 maps that he has played and was the only AStralis player to post a plus differential in their March matchup against OG.  Magisk is arguably the most reliable Astralis player as he has gone for 50+ DK points in four of his last five games and is one that is viable in all formats.

Aleksib has been playing very well lately and is one of the best values on the slate. Over his last 11 maps played, he has accrued a 1.18 K/D ratio and a +31 differential K/D differential during that 11-game stretch. In his career, Aleksib has a 1 K/D ratio so that tells you that he is playing above his capabilities so we might as well ride the hot hand! He has become a more patient player as he has a .68 kill per round rate but his death per round rate has dropped down to .58 which is .08 below his career death per round average.

Other value plays: niko, misutaaa, Gla1ve

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:

Vitality looks to be the biggest favorite on this two-game slate so it makes sense to go ahead and stack several members of their squad. While DBL PONEY has the higher winning percentages on most maps, their level of competition does not truly equate to who Vitality has been squaring off against recently. Vitality is sporting a team K/D ratio of 1.03 over the last month of games played while DBL PONEY has a 1.02 team K/D ratio so both teams look to be in solid form.

When stacking Vitality, the first person to plug into your lineup is Zyw0o. He leads Vitality in K/D ratio over the last month and is one of the premier players in the world. Outside of Zyw0oo a few others to consider are shox, apEX, and misutaaa. Shox has the second-highest K/D ratio on the squad as he sits at a 1.08 over the last month while apEX and misutaaa are sitting at .95 and .96 respectively.

Other Stacks: OG
