Nine to Five 2
Best of 3
- ALTERNATE aTTaX (-345) vs. CR4ZY (+240)
- Selectah (+190) vs. Excellency (-260)
- Gambit Youngsters (-325) vs. LDLC (+260)
- NAVI Junior vs. BIG Academy
Captain Plays:
Sh1ro is a top option on this slate and is hard to pass up on even with his price tag being at $9,200. He has been on fire as of late as he has accrued a K/D ratio of 1.39 over his last 35 maps played.
He is carrying a .78 kill per round rate while having a .56 death per round rate which is ideal for the captain spot. He provides the most upside and has the highest DK average per game so he is one to not fade. Sh1ro is viable in all formats but will also be extremely chalky so fade at your own risk.
Kressy is priced down at $7,400 which is a pretty reasonable price point for someone of his skill level. Over the last 58 maps played, he has produced a 1.15 K/D ratio while delivering 80.5 damage per round which is middle of the pack.
He has a very solid .73 kill per round rate while having a .64 death per round rate. He offers some salary savings on this slate but still has upside so he should be considered for tournament lineups.
Other captain plays: slaxz-, Aunkere, Ax1Le, SENSEi
Value Plays:
Mirbit looks to be one of the better overall values on the slate. He is priced at $7,200 and is carrying a 1.14 K/D ratio over the last 58 maps played. In addition, he has a 50.8 DK point per game which is solid considering his price tag.
He has shown solid upside as he has gone for 60+ DK points in three of his last six games played and that also goes along with his .69 kill per round rate. He should be viable in both formats and would be one to consider if looking to stack ALTERNATE aTTaX.
B1T is priced way down for how well he has actually played over the last 10 maps. He has a 1.30 K/D ratio during that stretch which is actually third on the NAVI Junior squad but is priced as the fourth lowest NAVI Junior player at $6,400.
This feels like its a bit of a mispricing which means we should take advantage of this. He has a +43 K/D differential over the 10 map span and has a .74 kill per round rate. With this being a closer game on the slate, he would be a better fit for tournament lineups.
Other value plays: Nafany, stfn, Sergiz, NK4Y, rilax

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Gambit Youngsters have been playing great since the start of 2020 but have really played well over the last month. They have gone 23-12 over their last 35 maps played and have had a team K/D ratio of 1.10 over that span. They have rattled off five straight wins and have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven playable maps. While Gambit Youngsters have played well, their opponents are no slouch. LDLC has won four of their last five games and has a 25-19 record over their last 44 games played with a team K/D ratio of 1.05.
From the Gambit Youngsters side, any stack starts with sh1ro. He is the leader of this squad and is one of the most talented CSGO players currently playing. Ax1Le has been playing extremely well and those two players form a formidable duo if you were looking for a Gambit Youngsters mini-stack. A cheaper option from this squad is nafany who has a 1.02 K/D ratio over his last 35 maps played.
ALTERNATE aTTaX comes into this matchup as the #34 ranked squad and as winners of three of their last five matches played. CR4ZY has also won three of their last five matches but is 1-6 against ALTERNATE aTTaX all-time. ALTERNATE aTTaX carries the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven playable maps and have a higher team K/D ratio over the last month of games played (1.12 vs. 1.01).
ALTERNATE aTTaX is a very well rounded team and they have four really strong players to choose from. Slaxz- has led this team in K/D ratio over the last month with a 1.30 K/D ratio and a +279 K/D differential. Kressy, stfn, and mirbit have also played well as they all carry K/D ratios above 1.10 over the same time span and offer some great salary savings on the slate.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Excellency, NAVI Jr.
