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 Thursday, May 6th, 2021 at 8:00 AM.

REPUBLEAGUE TIPOS Season 1
Best of 3 Series
- SKADE (-155) vs. Endpoint
- Copenhagen Flames vs. Anonymo (-250)
Captain Plays:
KEi is the top option from the Anonymo squad and should be considered in all formats. He has produced a 1.08 K/D ratio over his last 45 maps played and is sporting a +62 K/D differential during that time. He is an aggressive player as he has a .75 kill per round rate but a .70 death per round rate so he does tend to put himself in the line of fire quite often.
dennyslaw has been extremely consistent for SKADE and is certainly in good form over his last 87 maps played/ He has accrued a 1.26 K/D ratio over that stretch and is sporting a .78 kill per round rate while having a low death per round rate of .62. Over his last nine matches that he has played, dennyslaw has gone plus in eight of them and has finished 72.4% of the time with an above 1 match rating over his last months of games played.
Other captain plays: SHiPZ, nicoodoz
Value Plays:
mezii has been in great form over his last month of games played as he is sporting a 1.32 K/D ratio while having a 54.8% headshot percentage. He has had a strong 1.24 match rating over his last 25 maps played and has a .80 kill per round rate while having a low .61 death per round rate. Mezii has gone plus (having more kills than deaths) in four of his last five matches and has flashed massive upside as he has gone +28, +14, and +19 in three of those games.
oxygeN is definitely priced down on this slate and this is a great time to take advantage of his mispricing. He has a 1.07 K/D ratio over his last three months of maps played while also sporting a 61.1% headshot percentage. OxygeN has solid upside as four of his last five games played have gone for 50+ DK points and is one of the better overall values on the slate.
Other value plays: Kylar, Surreal, CRUC1AL, Rainwaker

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Anonymo is the higher-ranked team in this matchup but there is certainly more to like about them when compared to the Copenhagen Flames at this current point in time. Anonymo enters this matchup against Copenhagen with a team K/D ratio of 1 and a record of 24-21 while Copenhagen has produced a .96 team K/D ratio and a record of 15-21. These teams have never faced off against one another and are split 3-3 when it comes to the overall map advantage with the last map not being played by either team. Anonymo is higher ranked in the REPUBLEAGE TIPOS tournament and carries a better round differential than Copenhagen so looking at them in this matchup would be the preferred route to go.
The Anonymo squad has three main players that you should focus on when constructing your stacks. Their best player is KEi and would be the first person that you should consider from this squad. He leads this team with a 1.08 K/D ratio over the last month and is the safest play on the board for them. The other two members to focus on would be Kylar and Snax. Both members are sporting above a 1 K/D ratio over their last 45 maps played and look to be in good form.
Other Stacks: SKADE but if multi-entering, hedge with Endpoint
