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

IEM Summer 2001
Best of 3
- Vitality (-110) vs. Virtus.Pro (-125)
- Gambit (-425) vs. Evil Geniuses
Captain Plays:
sh1ro is the top player in the world and is on the top team in the world so it is pretty easy to just go straight to him. He has a 1.47 K/D ratio over his last 29 maps played and has a +173 K/D differential during that timespan. One thing that sh1ro does well is he keeps his death rate really low as he has a kill per round rate of .73 while having a death per round rate of just .50 which is fantastic. If you're spending up on this slate, look no further than sh1ro.
Jame would really be one of the other options that should be considered for the captain spot on this slate. Over his last 34 maps played, Jame has produced a 1.34 K/D ratio while having a 74.9% KAST rate which is certainly above the average player. Jame has produced a .74 kill per round rate while having a low death per round rate which is pretty comparable to sh1ro.
Other captain plays in order of preference: Zyw0o
Value Plays:
buster is my favorite value play on the slate. He has the second-highest K/D ratio on the entire Virtus.Pro squad with a 1.07 ratio and has a .65 kill per round rate while having a lower death per round rate of .61. Buster is certainly underpriced as he is just $6,800 and can certainly exceed value as he has hit the 70-80 point mark in previous matchups.
Qikert is another VP player that looks underpriced and could certainly hit value for his $6,000 price tag. Qikert has hit the 70+ DK point mark in his last two games and has produced a 1.03 K/D ratio over his last 34 maps played which is the third-highest K/D ratio on the VP squad and he has managed to go plus in three out of his last four maps played.
Other value plays in order of preference: shox, interz, Brehze, Michu

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Gambit is the top team stack on this two-game slate and would be the preferred team to look at when it comes to three-man stacking. Gambit is the top-ranked team in the entire world and they are in amazing form as they have won eight out of their nine last matches and have gone 20-9 over their last 29 maps played. During that span of maps played, Gambit has produced a 1.16 team K/D ratio while Evil Geniuses is 5-7 over their last month of games played while producing a .92 K/D ratio.
Gambit has three main guys to first consider when building a Gambit stack. The top player on the squad is Sh1ro and he is a top player in the world when it comes to CSGO. He leads the Gambit team in both K/D ratio and in K/D differential and would be the first one to plug into your stacks. Outside of him, Hobbit and Ax1Le are the other two members that should be heavily considered in all Gambit stacks. They both have an above 1.20 K/D ratio over their last 29 maps played and would be other candidates to lock in for the Gambit stacks. While the Gambit pricing might be tight, you can still look to rostering nafany or interz to get cheap exposure to Gambit which allows you to open up some salary for the rest of your roster.
Other Stacks: Virtus.Pro
