CS Summit Qualifier 

Best of 3

• NiP vs. GODSENT
• G2 (-500) vs Moviestar Riders (+325)
• ENCE (+170) vs. FaZe (-235)
• 100 Thieves (+155) vs. Liquid (-210)

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations

EliGE is priced up at $9,000 which is certainly towards the high end of the salary range on this slate. Over the last month, EliGE has had a 1.11 K/D ratio while having a .78 kill per round rate and a .71 death per round rate. In addition, he has had really solid success against 100 Thieves over the last month. 

He has faced them over four maps and has produced a 1.34 K/D ratio while having a +21 K/D differential. This slate is spaced out with good matchups with good teams so he could be an overlooked option for the captain spot based on price and matchup.  

kennyS is the highest-priced player for G2 on this slate. Over the last month of games played he has produced a 1.02 K/D ratio which is quite low when compared to his all-time K/D ratio of 1.22. He is slumping from a numbers standpoint but G2 has seen some high-quality opponents lately which should be factored in.

KennyS has played two maps against the Moviestar Riders this year and in those games, he has produced a 1.88 K/D ratio and went +15 during the two-game match. KennyS is more of a captain play in gpp lineups rather than cash game lineups but if you were looking for a cash game play from G2, huNter- would be the guy to target. 

Other captain plays: NiKo, Plopski, broky

 

CS:GO DFS Value Plays

Jks is ridiculously cheap and should easily be considered based on his price point. He is averaging 60.5 DK points per game and is carrying a 1.35 K/D ratio over the last 14 maps played. He has faced Liquid eight times this year and has produced a 1.08 K/D ratio in those games with a +11 K/D differential. 

Over the last month, he has had a .72 kills per round rate while having a .61 death per round rate. The matchup is tough but a player with jks’s skill shouldn’t be priced this low. He is viable in all formats and looks to be one of the better overall plays based on price on this slate. He can also be used as a captain play for salary savings and could draw some lower ownership at this spot. 

Nawwk is $7,400 and is another under-priced play on this slate. He leads NiP in K/D ratio over the last month with a 1.15 K/D ratio and a +85 K/D differential. Nawwk has had a .72 kill per round rate while having a low .62 death per round rate which is a solid differential for his given salary range.

He faced GODSENT on two maps earlier this season and went +17 and had a 1.56 match rating so this is obviously a good spot for him. Nawwk can be used in all formats and has enough upside to where he can be considered for the captain role.

Other value plays: REZ, hampus, Bymas, Twistzz, Gratisfaction

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks

G2 is a heavy favorite and it is hard to not like them against Moviestar Riders. They are ranked #3 in the world while the Moviestar Riders come into this matchup being ranked #33 overall. Both teams are winners of two of their last five games while G2 holds the all-time head-to-head record of 2-0 against them. G2 has not been in the best of form as they have gone 10-13 over the last 23 maps played. Moviestar Riders have a slight edge on recent performances as they are 19-19 over their last 38 maps played but they have been facing easier competition so that is something to factor into this match.  

From an individual player standpoint, nexa has been the best performer from this squad. He has had a 1.04 K/D ratio over the last month of games played. HuNter- and kennyS have both had above a 1.02 K/D ratio over the same timespan and look to be viable plays as well. When looking back over the last three months worth of data,  huNter- leads the squad with a 1.09 K/D, and kennyS is right behind him with a 1.08 K/D ratio. All three are viable plays but are priced moderately high so it makes it tough to truly stack all three players from this squad unless you reach down for some value plays. 

NiP is another team to target on this slate from a stacking perspective. They have won three out of their last five matches and enter this matchup as the higher-ranked team when compared to GODSENT. NiP is 2-0 this year against GODSENT and won pretty convincingly in a 2-0 sweep back in March. From a recent form standpoint, NiP has gone 18-14-2 over the last 34 maps played with a team K/D ratio of 1.05 while GODSENT has gone 9-8 over the last 17 maps played with a 1.03 K/D ratio. NiP also carries the map advantage as they have higher winning percentages on four of the seven viable maps for tournament play so they get the map edge.

From an individual player standpoint, NiP has had four of its players obtain a K/D ratio above 1.00 over the last month. Nawwk leads the charge with a 1.15 k/D ratio while Plopski is right behind him with a 1.08 K/D ratio. Due to pricing, Plopski could be the lower owned player but nawwk has shown that he has been the more consistent player. REZ and twist are also in play and should be overlooked since people will find ways to spend up for nawwk and Plopski.

Other stacks/teams:  FaZe, Liquid
