Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have been focusing on the NHL and a little bit of MLB but as we get closer to the summer months, we could see some really good CSGO tournaments pop up which means great DFS tournaments to play! As always, I will do my best to give you the stats and info you need to build the best lineups possible for your GPP and cash game CS:GO contests on DraftKings.
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis, and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Tuesday, May 4th, 2021 at 9:00 AM.

Spring Sweet Spring 1
Best of 3 Series
- Spirit (-275) vs. forZe
- FURIA (-275) vs. SinnerS
Captain Plays:
degster has really emerged as a strong captain play for Spirit and he has been doing some major damage over the last several months. Over his last 39 maps played, degster has accrued a 1.37 K/D ratio while having a +225 K/D differential. He has a .79 kill per round rate and a very low .58 death per round rate which makes him an ideal candidate for the captain spot in your cash game builds. While he is the highest-priced player on the slate, he looks to be the safest overall player on the slate.
KSCERATO is the best FURIA player to roster and he is one of the most expensive players on the slate. He is $9,200 but it definitely is a fair price point especially with how well he has been playing. KSCERATO has a 1.14 K/D ratio over the last 22 maps played and has a .73 kill per round rate and a low .64 death per round rate. He is a head-hunter as he has a 50.6% headshot percentage and has gone plus in five straight matches played. If paying up for a player, KSCERATO would be the one to consider.
Other captain plays: mir, arT, NEOFRAG
Value Plays:
yuurih is very reasonably priced at $7,400 and with him scoring above 50 DK points in three straight games, he makes for a great play in all formats. Over his last 22 maps played, yuurih has produced a 1.08 K/D ratio and has generated a 1.12 rating. He is sporting a .69 kill per round rate and a .64 death per round rate and is carrying a strong 45.9% headshot percentage during those 22 maps played. While it could be a chalky move, rostering yuurih in the captain spot is a viable move as he will allow you to save some salary and pay for some of the stronger players on the slate.
sdy is in a very good price range for how well he has been playing lately. Over his last 44 maps played, sdy has accrued a 1.17 K/D ratio and has a .69 kill per round rate while having a .60 death per round rate. In addition, he has managed to score 50+ DK points in nine of his last 10 matches played which makes him a prime value target in all formats.
Other value plays: oskar, magixx, chopper, zorte, jerry

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Spirit and FURIA look to be the two main stacks to focus on and build around. They are both the heavy favorites in their respective matches and it would be hard to see either squad lose in their matchups. Both teams come into their matches as the higher-ranked squads and should be able to hold their own in hopefully just two maps.
For Spirit, they have a sizeable advantage over forZe as they have a higher winning percentage on five of the seven playable maps and own the head-to-head record of 19-11-6. When looking at the last three months of maps played, Spirit has accrued a team K/D ratio of 1.16 and has gone 24-14 while forZe has a 1.05 team K/D ratio and a 49-43 record. All of Spirit's players are in play as they all have above a 1 K/D ratio over the last three months with degster, mir, and sdy leading the charge with 1.15+ K/D ratios.
For FURIA, they have three main guys that you should focus on. KSCERATO is leading this squad with a 1.19 K/D ratio over the last three months' worth of maps played while yuurih is arguably the best value on the slate as he has a 1.04 K/D ratio and has been the second-strongest FURIA player over that three-month span. arT has been somewhat inconsistent at times but has produced 50+ DK points in his three most recent games so he could be considered in your FURIA stacks as well.
