- Heroic (+145) vs. Vitality (-195)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Zyw0o is the highest-priced player on the slate at $9,400 but luckily for us, the price tag isn’t high enough that it should scare us away from him. Zyw0o has faced Heroic in two maps so far this year and has had a +13 K/D differential against them with a 1.45 K/D ratio.
Over the last month, he has produced a 1.39 K/D ratio and has generated a .85 kill per round rate while only having a .61 death per round rate. He has one of the highest upsides on the slate and just as we saw over the weekend, he could go for 100+ DK points at any given time.
Mir is $7,400 which is a great price for someone who should be in consideration for the captain role on DK. He brings upside to your lineups and opens up salary from a roster construction standpoint which is ideal for all formats.
Mir has had a 1.40 K/D ratio over the last month which is extremely high and he has had a .87 kill per round rate while having a .63 death per round rate. He carries a 54% headshot percentage which adds to his value of being a lethal shooter. Mir is one of the top overall plays on the slate and should not be overlooked in this matchup.
Other captain plays: Brollan
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Shox is under $7,000 and with his recent play for Vitality, he is certainly viable in all formats. He has had a 1.17 K/D ratio over the last month and has had a .69 kill per round rate while having a .59 death per round rate over the same timespan.
He has had three out of his last four games go for 50+ DK points with one of them going for 97 DK points. He has upside and brings really good value due to his price which makes him one of the better overall plays on this slate.
iDISBALANCE has been an extremely consistent player lately and for his price point of $6,800, he looks to be a great play on this slate. He is averaging 48.3 DK points per game but has exceeded his DK point average in 10 straight games!
He has accrued a 1.18 K/D ratio over the last month and has a .70 kill per round rate while only having a .59 death per round rate during that span. iDISBALANCE is one of the safer plays on the slate and looks to be viable in all formats, especially cash games.
Other value plays: chopper, Rpk, magixx, JW, sdy

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
Vitality has really been performing well and denied NiP a trip to the BLAST Premier Europe Finals yesterday as they won 2-1 winning the last two maps of the three-game series. Vitality has now strung together three wins in a row and should be able to handle Heroic. So far throughout the 2020 year, Vitality has beaten Heroic on two maps and holds the all-time record of 4-1. Over the last month, VItality has produced a 19-8-2 record and has generated a 1.08 team K/D ratio.
Zyw0o leads the charge on this squad and should not be left out of your Vitality stacks. Shox has been a steady pairing and has generated the second-highest K/D ratio on Vitality so he is worth the look to be a part of your VItality stacks. Rpk and misutaaa look to be the better value plays from Vitality and could be looked at as a viable third member of a Vitality stack especially if needing salary relief.
Spirit has been a team that really has developed over the past several months as they carry a 68% win percentage over the last three months and jumped up into the top 15 in recent weeks. Over the last month, they have produced a team K/D ratio of 1.16 and have gone 19-10 in their last 29 games played. Even though MAD has won some key games, they haven’t performed statistically well since they have only generated a 1.01 K/D ratio over the last month of games played so the edge goes to Spirit.
The whole squad of Spirit has had 1+ K/D ratios over the last month which is quite impressive. Mir is the leader and should be where you start your Spirit stacks. The rest of the Spirit squad are 7k and under and are all in play. Magixx and iDISBALANCE are my favorite value pieces and would be guys I would consider for your Spirit stacks.
Other stacks/teams: Fnatic
