Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (5/20/20) - DraftKings, Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have to admit, I am having a ton of fun playing and covering eSports DFS at RotoBaller! As always, I will do my best to give you the stats and info you need to build the best lineups possible for your GPP and cash game CS:GO contests on DraftKings which can also be related to FanDuel contests as well. 

We have a three-game main slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 series. This is an exciting tournament as it features some of the best teams in the world which mean we should see highly competitive matchups.

• Heroics vs. G2
• North vs Astralis
• Furia (-220) vs. MIBR (+160)

 

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations

KSCERATO has been a frequent staple play in my lineups and there’s no reason to not consider him on this slate. He is the second highest-priced player on this slate and has the highest DK point per game average of 67.9 points. 

Over the last month, KSCERATO has produced a 1.45 K/D ratio over a 17 map span and has a 1.61 K/D ratio against MiBR over his last 12 maps that he has played against them. While he could be a chalkier play, he stands out to be one of the better overall plays on the slate. 

kennyS is $7,600 which is still underpriced for the upside that he brings to lineups. He has had a 1.12 K/D ratio over the last 33 maps played and carries a .68 kill per round rate while having a .61 death per round rate.

Over his last 11 games played, he has had nine of his games go for over 50+ DK points which shows the consistency he brings to lineups. He should be used in all formats and makes for a good captain value play on this slate.

Other captain plays: huNter-, Device, Xyp9x

 

CS:GO DFS Value Plays

HEN1 is $7,000 and he makes for the best value play on the slate in my opinion. He has averaged 80 DK points over his last three games against MiBR and has gone plus in all three of those matches. Over his last seven maps against MiBR, he has produced a 1.55 K/D ratio and had a +48 K/D differential.

In his career, HEN1 has a 1.30 K/D ratio over an 18 map span against MiBR and qualifier for all formats and even garners captain spot consideration for salary relief. 

Dupreeh checks in as a great value play at $6,400. He has two straight games of posting 50+ DK points and has hit 50+ DK points in five of his last seven games. Dupreeh has had a 1.12 K/D ratio over the last 26 maps played and has a .70 kill per round rate while having a .62 death per round rate.

While he doesn’t offer the biggest upside, he gets you a consistent performer who fits in really well for cash games and as a value play in tournaments.

Other value plays: JUGi, trk, AmaNeK

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks

Furia owns MiBR with a record of 10-2-1 in 13 maps played. They have won six of their last seven maps played against MiBR and are winners of four of their last five games overall. Over their last month, Furia has produced a team K/D ratio of 1.16 and has gone 13-4 over their last 17 maps played.

Over that same stretch, they have had three of their players have a K/D ratio of 1.30+. KSCERATO is the main guy to look at for Furia stacks. He has had a 1.45 K/D ratio over his last 17 maps played and is moderately priced for his upside.

Yuurih and HEN1 are the other stacking pieces with HEN1 being the lower-priced option on this slate. Both carry great upside and make for a strong three-man stack if you are able to fit them all in.

 

Astralis has been the most dominant team in the world as they are ranked #1 overall and have won five straight games against some really quality opponents. North has also been playing well as they are winners of three of their last five games but Astralis should be too much for them in this matchup.

Astralis has a 9-2-4 record against North and has won seven straight matches against them dating back to 2017. Astralis is priced up a bit with device being priced at $10,200 but with his recent play of carrying a 1.34 K/D ratio over the last month, he definitely has the upside regardless of the price point. Xyp9x is my second favorite Astralis play as he has had a 1.13 K/D ratio over the last month and he checks in at $7,200 which is a great value.

Dupreeh is $6,400 and he would be a third member to consider in your Astralis stacks. Another cheap value option that allows you to pay up for device is JUGi who is only $6,400 and is still finding his role on this squad. He fits in more as a value dart with the unknown that he brings to this squad.

Other stacks/teams: G2
