Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks.

Flashpoint 3
Best of 3
- HYENAS vs. ANONYMO (-180)
- CDL PONEY vs. Astralis (-350)
- mousesports (-135) vs. BIG (EVEN)
Captain Plays:
ropz is one of the safer options on this slate despite carrying a high price tag. He has produced 70+ DK points in three of his last five games played and has a 1.24 K/D ratio while having a .76 kill per round rate and a .61 death per round rate. Ropz has fared well against BIG in the past as he has a 1.26 K/D ratio over 11 maps played while having a +51 K/D differential.
KEi could definitely be considered as a captain in tournament builds. He has a 1.07 k/D ratio over the last month of maps played and has a .75 kill per round rate while having a .70 death per round rate which is a tad high but he does have the killing upside that he presents. KEi has scored well as he has hit the 55+ mark in three of his last five matches played and could come in a tad lower owned based on his higher price tag that he has.
Other captain plays: XANTARES, Lucky
Value Plays:
acoR is one of the best-priced players on the slate as he is right at the $7,000 mark but has been in great form over the last month of games played as he has produced a 1.21 K/D ratio which is the second-highest K/D rate on mousesports. AcoR does bring scoring upside to your roster as he has eclipsed the 70+ DK point mark in two of his last games played and has a.70 kill per round rate while having a .58 death per round rate.
Bymas is an even cheaper option if needing to open up salary relief more from mousesports. Over his last 33 maps played, Bymas has generated a 1.10 K/D ratio while having a .66 ill per round rate and a .60 death per round rate. He has been scoring well as he has eclipsed the 50 point mark on DK in five out of his last eight matches which is ideal for his price point being at just $6,000 on this slate.
Other value plays: Kylar, afro, Kjaerbye, innocent, gla1ve, Djoko

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Anonymo is getting a HYENAS team that has only played two career competitive matches together so picking on HYENAS with Anonymo could be the way to go from a stacking perspective on this slate. Anonymo is 28-23 over the last month of maps played while sporting a team K/D ratio of 1.01 which is pretty solid. While they come into this matchup not in the best of form (winning two of their last five matches played), their chemistry could lead them to a victory against HYENAS.
Anonymo has several guys that we could consider rostering on this slate. Kyler and KEI are the top two players when it comes to their K/D ratios and should be considered in all formats from Anonymo. Outside of those two, Snax and innocent would be the two other Anonymo guys to consider as they both have K/D ratios above 1 over the last month and are moderately priced for their recent form.
Other Stacks: mousesports, DBL PONEY
