CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Zyw0o is at a great price point on this slate for his recent form that he has shown. Over the last month of games played, Zyw0o has registered a 1.43 K/D ratio and had a +262 K/D differential. He is the leader of this Vitality squad and with Vitality being the heavy favorites on this slate, it is hard to not lock Zyw0o into any and all lineups. He has eclipsed 70+ DK points in six of his last seven games and carries the most upside on this slate. He is viable in all formats and will be one of the highest owned players on this slate.
EliGE is priced really low compared to where he has been in previous matches. He is $7,800 which is extremely gratuitous for someone who is averaging 67.8 DK points per game and has upside on being the top performer on the slate. Over the last month of games played, EliGE has generated a K/D ratio of 1.12 and has a .580 kill per round rate.
Since the start of 2020, he has faced MiBR on eight maps and has accrued a 1.37 K/D ratio which is the highest ratio for him amongst any team he has faced over the last six months. If you’re looking for a pivot play in tournaments off of Zyw0o that will help with roster construction, EliGE should be considered.
Other captain plays: jks, NAF, aizy, kNgV-
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Twistzz's price point is pretty low but given his recent form, it is a tough choice on whether to play or fade him. He has struggled over the last month and only has a .89 K/D ratio. What makes this a tough decision is that he has had really good success against MiBR since the start of 2020 so you would need to ignore his recent form. He has produced a 1.25 K./D ratio in eight maps played against them which is very solid, especially when factoring in his price point. He looks to make a great tournament play if he can return to his old form and find success against MiBR as he has in the past.
Cajunb is another value play that has recently shown poor form but has success against the team he is playing. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a K/D ratio of .92. So far during 2020, he has played four maps against Movistar Riders and produced a 1.32 K/D ratio with a +23 K/D differential. Cajunb is another value tournament play that could pay off due to his price point but also know that it is risky just because he hasn’t been playing to the best of his abilities lately.
Other value plays: leaf, shox, jkaem, RpK, trk

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
Vitality stands out as a premier stacking option on this slate. They are ranked # 2 in the world and face FATE who is ranked #52 overall. Vitality has won three out of their last five games while FATE comes into this matchup winning four of their last five games. Vitality has the largest odds on the slate to win and they look to have a map advantage as they have better winning percentages than FATE on five of the seven viable maps for online play.
It’s always tough to stack Vitality because of the inconsistent nature of the rest of the squad. You know that the stack starts with Zyw0o but then it gets tricky after you do that. Shox looks to be the second player to consider as he has registered a 1.10 K/D ratio over the last month while RpK would be another option to consider as he has a 1.02 K/D ratio over the same timespan.
Liquid as a whole is underpriced on this slate which makes them stand out as a stacking option. They own the all-time head-to-head record against MiBR with 29 wins and only 12 losses so that is very encouraging to see. So far during 2020, they have won eight straight maps against MiBR and have swept four straight Bo3 series. Over the last month, Liquid has gone 8-8 with a .97 team K/D ratio while MiBR has gone 16-10 with a 1.05 K/D ratio.
The recent edge goes to MiBR but with the given success and history between the two squads, Liquid still looks to have a slight edge. EliGE leads this squad with a 1.12 K/D ratio over the last month of games played and is under-priced so he belongs in all Liquid stacks. NAF has been the second-best player on this team with a 1.07 K/D ratio over the same timespan and is also priced in the mid $7,000 range so he deserves consideration. Twistzz is the value play from this squad if you are looking for a cheaper option and still want to get exposure to Liquid.
Other stacks/teams: 100 Thieves, North
