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 four-game main slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the BLAST Premier Spring 2020 series. This is going to be a nice change of pace from the 3-game slates we were getting at Dreamhack and we should see some late afternoon slates for the late games as well.
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Monday, June 1st, 2020 at 9:30 AM. Be sure to also check out our awesome CS:GO Premium DFS Tools including our Lineup Optimizer, Research Station, Projections and DFS Cheat Sheets! Feel free to follow me on Twitter @jorgepucks as I am happy to engage with readers and try to answer your questions. Good luck RotoBallers!

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Device brings major upside to your captain slot and is viable for this spot in almost every slate that he is on. He is $9,600 on this slate and averages 65.3 DK points per game. With this being the best of one tournament, we will need the best possible point getters, and device is one of the top guys on the slate.
He averages 20.3 kills per game while only having 15.7 deaths per game. In addition, he has a 1.39 K/D ratio over the last month and is in top form right now. He is viable in all formats and will need to carry the load with Astralis having two new members on their squad.
Ropz is just $7,600 which is pretty cheap for someone who is averaging 62.3 DK points per game. He is carrying a 1.13 K/D ratio over the last month and has had 50+ DK points in six of his last seven games played. Over the last 24 maps played, he has produced a .72 kill per round rate with a .64 death per round rate. His cheap price point really opens up salary for the rest of your lineup so he is one of the better overall value options on the slate.
Other captain plays: Zyw0o, plopski, Brollan
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Snappi is just $4,000 which is dirt cheap and opens up tons of salary for your squad. The one downside to Snappi is that while he is playing on a better team, he himself has not produced amazing numbers in his career. He has a .99 K/D ratio for his career but has a 1.01 ratio over the last 12 months. If you are trying to get as many top players into your lineup, I would not mind taking a stab at Snappi for salary relief.
Woxic continues to hang around in the upper 6k range which is great for a player like him. He has produced a 1.04 K/D ratio over the last month and has a .69 kill per round rate over that span. He is averaging 52.6 DK points per game and has scored 50+ DK points in 9 of his last 11 games. He checks in to be one of the better overall value plays that looks viable for both cash and tournament lineups.
Other value plays: JUGi, shox, Jamppi

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
Astralis is the top team in the world and has won four of the last five matches that they have participated in. NiP has not been playing great recently as they have only won two of their last five games with two of those losses ending up in a 2-0 sweep.
Astralis does take a hit with Xyp9x taking a leave from the team due to health so newly acquired Snappi will be filling in moving forward. Device leads this squad and would be the first guy to plug into your Astralis stacks. Magisk and dupreeh are the other two high priced Astralis guys to consider if you have enough salary to squeeze them in. Please note, this Astralis team will not be as dominant as we have seen in the past due to the recent losses on their team so I am viewing them as more of a tournament play since they are expensive which could mean their ownership might not be as high as we are accustomed to.
Vitality is an intriguing GPP stack for this slate. They have won three out of their last five games while ENCE has struggled only winning two of their last five games. These two teams have faced each other quite a bit with Vitality owning a 15-10 all-time record against ENCE. Since the start of the 2020 year, Vitality has gone 4-3 against ENCE with Vitality having swept ENCE 2-0 in their most recent matchup a few days ago.
Vitality is led by Zyw0o who is one of the top players in the world. For his upside, he is priced reasonably well and should be a part of your Vitality stack. The other member to build around would be shox. He is a great value option and has had a 1.10 K/D ratio over the last month.
Other stacks/teams: Fnatic, mousesports
