Perfect World Asia League
Best of 3
- Lucid Dream vs. Bren
- TYLOO vs. Divine Vendetta
- TIGER vs. D13
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Attacker is really priced down which is shocking considering he is leading TYLOO in K/D ratio over the last month with a 1.28 ratio. He is priced at $7,400 and is averaging 62.8 DK points per game so he should see high ownership with this matchup and price. He has had five straight games of scoring 50+ DK points and is viable in all formats. He is a lock for cash game lineups due to his consistency and upside.
Papichulo is at the higher end of the pricing spectrum but could be a solid tournament play for a few reasons. He has had three straight games of scoring 50+ DK points and with him being at a higher price point, people could opt to look for a cheaper option like Attacker. Papichulo has been the best Bren player over the last 19 games played as he has produced a 1.12 K/D ratio over that span.
Other captain plays: erkaSt, DANK1NG
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Summer looks to be the best-priced player on this slate. He is $6,600 and is tied for the second-highest K/D ratio on his squad. He is averaging 56.8 DK points per game and has a .71 kill per round rate over his last 18 maps played. He has hit 50+ DK points in five straight games while having double-digit assists in three of those five games. Even though roster construction doesn’t seem to be too difficult for this slate, he could be viable if looking to punt at the captain spot to fit in some of the higher-priced guys.
Annihilation could be a great tournament play from D13. He is averaging 71 DK points per game and I am sure he could be popular if people just see that and hit the plus button to add him to lineups. They have a tough matchup against TIGER so D13 will need a hood game from Annihilation if they want to win. He has been leading his squad with a 1.22 K/D ratio over the last 15 maps played and has a +57 K/D differential over the same span. He could be a great one-off play should this game go three maps.
Other value plays: witz, SLOWLY, nin9, somebody, kabal

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
TYLOO is the strongest team on the slate and should be the chalk stack to roster on this three-game slate. They enter this matchup having won five straight games with all of them being 2-0 sweeps. From a head-to-head matchup perspective, TYLOO holds a 2-0 record against Divine Vendetta this year and Divine Vendetta comes into this matchup as winners of two of their last five games played. TYLOO holds a strong map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven viable tournament maps and they should be able to take advantage of this.
TYLOO has a very well balanced team with all five of its players having above a 1.10 K/D ratio. Attacked has been the strongest player over the last month as he has produced a 1.28 K/D ratio over the last 18 maps played. DANK1NG is the highest-priced player on the TYLOO squad and is tied for the second-highest K/D ratio on the team with Summer with a 1.18 ratio. Summer offers a big-time salary discount so he could be used as a good value based on his recent form.
Bren and Tiger both look to be mini stack options as both of their games look to be competitive. Both squads are higher ranked compared to their opponents and both hold map advantages which should work in their favor. There’s a chance that both teams could sweep but it also wouldn’t surprise anyone if both matches go three games so these would be the two teams to target outside of TYLOO.
Bren has really had solid performances from Papichulo and Derek over the last 19 maps played with witz being a great third member to stack from this squad. From the late game on the slate, TIGER looks to be the better squad with erkaSt leading the charge with a 1.32 K/D ratio over his last 16 maps played. Dobu, nin9, and kabal all carry an above 1 K/D ratio over the last month of games played and are all viable stacking options for your TIGER stacks.
