CS Summit EU
Best of 3
- ENCE (-325) vs. x6tence (+235)
- FaZe (-400) vs. Heretics (+265)
- MiBR (-135) vs. FURIA (-180)
- Chaos (+205) vs. Gen. G (-290)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Allu looks to be a great captain type play in this matchup against x6tence. Over the last month of games played, he has accrued a 1.11 K/D ratio with a .69 kill per round rate while having a .62 death per round rate.
He is the primary awper (sniper) for ENCE which means he will be handling the most powerful weapon in the game when his team has the economy for it. In his most recent outing against x6tence (Copenhagen Flames), he went 71-29 with a +42 K/D differential. He has elite upside and is viable in all formats.
NiKo is the second-highest priced player on this slate but looks to be in a good spot against Heretics. Heretics got man-handled yesterday against OG and a consistent player like NiKo could really do well and have a big-time game.
He is at $8,800 and brings the highest floor to your lineup. He is averaging 72.6 DK points per game and holds a 1.16 K/D ratio over the last three months of games played. He is great for both cash and tournament builds and should be a top player on this slate.
Other captain plays: autimatic, HEN1
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Koosta is really under-priced compared to where he has been over the last several months. He is $6,800 and has the highest DK point per game average on Gen. G at 55.7 points per game. While his recent form hasn’t been outstanding, he is one of the top players on this Gen. G squad.
He has one of the better floors on this Gen. G squad and has hit 50+ DK points in two of his last four games played. With his price point being so low relative to where it has been in the past, he could make a great one-off play in tournament builds.
Yuurih is the cheapest of the big-three on FURIA as he is just $7,200 on this slate. Over the last month, he is tied with being +77 in the K/D differential department and has carried a 1.19 K/D ratio over that timespan.
Over his last seven games played, yuurih has produced 60+ DK points in five of those matches which shows the upside and consistency he brings to your lineups. In addition, he has a 1.24 K/D ratio against MiBR over his last 12 maps played against them. He is viable in all formats and is one of the better overall plays on the slate.
Other value plays: sergej, Nivera, fer, BnTeT, arT

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
ENCE looks to have an edge on x6tence, the team once formerly known as the Copenhagen Flames. They come in as the higher-ranked team and also have a 2-0 sweep against them last month. ENCE has been a little shaky as they are winners of two of their last five games while x6tence has dropped five straight games. ENCE carries a map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven authorized tournament maps and have a higher team K/D ratio over the last month of games played.
Over the last 18 matches played (44 maps), ENCE has swept teams 38.9% of the time which is extremely strong while x6tence has gotten swept 38.1% of the time (over their last 50 maps played. Allu is the main catalyst for this ENCE attack. He leads this squad in K/D ratio and should always be included in ENCE stacks.
After Allu, it can get quite tricky on who to pair with him. Jamppi has joined another team so he will be unavailable for ENCE moving forward while xseveN joins the fold again. Outside of Allu, the other ENCE player to really consider rostering is sergej who went 51-35 (+16) against this squad last month.
FURIA gets a chance to avenge their loss against MiBR on this slate. FURIA has lost two matches straight and is winners of two of their last five matches while MiBR has won three out of their last five games. FURIA has a 12-5 record against MiBR all-time and was riding a seven map win-streak until earlier this month where they have dropped three-straight maps to them. Just from a team morale standpoint, this is a must-win for them against their biggest rival in MiBR and can’t afford to lose the good form that they were showing all of last month.
FURIA looks to have the map advantage as they have winning percentages on six of the seven viable maps for tournament play. The big three are all in play for FURIA. Yuurih and HEN1 have been playing very well over the last month as they share the lead with being +77 over their last 26 maps played.
KSCERATO has been a little shaky lately but is still viable as a tournament play against MiBR. If you are needing some salary savings, arT has been quietly playing well as he has had a 1.04 K/D ratio over the last month of games played.
Other stacks/teams: FaZe, Gen. G
