Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (4/24/20) - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy

Jorge Pucks' DraftKings, FanDuel DFS lineup picks for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on 4/24/20. He analyzes CS:GO slates and top targets for ESports DFS contests.

Welcome back RotoBallers to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have to admit, I am having a ton of fun playing and covering eSports DFS at RotoBaller! As always, I will do my best to give you the stats and info you need to build the best lineups possible. 

We have another solid six-game slate that is a part of the ESL One: Road to Rio - Europe qualifier. We continue to see DraftKings hunt down some different leagues in an attempt to keep posting CS:GO slates every day. Some of these teams will be familiar to you from earlier slates this month, while others still may not be yet.

Today I'll be bringing you my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for eSports DFS contests on both DraftKings and FanDuel for Friday, April 24th, 2020 at 12:30 PM. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @rdr1634 as I am happy to engage with readers and try to answer your questions!

ESL One: Road to Rio - Europe (Best Of 3 Format)

• Dignitas +250 vs. NIP -335
• Isurus +225 vs. Boom -300
• Red Canids -145 vs. Imperial +115
• Evil G. -160 vs. 100 Thieves +120
• Gen. G -450 vs. Triumph +310
• Orgless +160 vs. Cloud9 -200

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations

Floppy is one of the highest-priced players on DK at $9,600 while he is the most expensive player on FD at $11,400. Floppy has played six maps against Orgless in the last three months and has accumulated a 1.16 K/D ratio against them.

Since the start of 2020, he has a 1.12 K/D ratio while going up against some of the top talents in the world.  He has a .74 kill per round rate while only having a .66 death per rate so he tends to be very active in every match. 

Yel is priced way down the past couple days but his price is starting to climb on DK while his price still stays low on FD. He is $7,200 on DK while only priced at $9,600 on FD so both bargains. He is averaging 75 DK points per game while averaging 143 FD points as well so he is producing at a high rate.

He could be a chalkier option if people have been watching and are taking note of his mispricing. He frees up some salary if you roll him out in the captain spot and with the way he has been playing, it’s hard to argue using him!

Brehze is back on the slate which means he is always worth a look at the captain spot. He is averaging 68 DK points per game while averaging 115 FD points per game. The pricing is down on him on both sites which makes me like him even more.

On DK, he is $8,600 and on FD, he is only $10,400. Brehze carries a .77 kill per round rate over the last three months while also accumulating a 1.16 K/D rate over the same timespan. He has a career K/D rate of 1.11 against 100 Thieves and this is over a 10 map sample size. Brehze is a safe pick for the captain role that offers upside as well.

Other captain plays: Iatto, Koosta, CeRq

CS:GO DFS Value Plays

Boltz is one of the value plays that I am eyeing up on this slate. He has a .74 kill per round rate while only having a .58 death per round rate over the last three months. He is $6,200 on DK and $9,700 on FD so a much better value on DK than he is on FD.

He has played two maps against Isurus in 2020 and has a 1.41 K/D ratio against them. He has had a 1.25 K/D ratio over the last four months so he is definitely worth consideration for both cash and tournament lineups. 

Shz is another Boom value play to look at on this slate. He is $5,400 on DK while being priced at $9,700 so he looks to be a better overall value on DK. Shz has a 1.15 K/ D ratio since the start of 2020 and has a .69 kill per round rate while having a .60 death per round rate. He is a little riskier of a value play when compared to Boltz but the price savings could be worth it!

Nython is an underrated player and his DK point average does not show the true stats. He has a .78 kill per round rate over the last three months while also accumulating a 1.14 K/D ratio over the same timeframe.

He is $5,800 on DK while being the second-highest priced player on the Red Canids over on FD at $9,900. This is a great spot to take advantage of the mispricing on DK where he looks to be really good cheap value. 

Other value plays: subroza, tarik

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks 

Boom has been a very hot team and we might as well continue to ride the hot team. They draw a good matchup against Isurus as they have gone 2-0-1 against them in their head to head matches overall. Boom has a team K/D ratio of 1.19 since the start of 2020 while Isurus has a team K/D ratio of .98 so the edge goes to Boom.

Boom is still underpriced for how well they have been playing and their value plays really stand out. Boltz and shz are both steals on DK and would be the ideal value pairing if looking to pay up for other players. Yel’s price has gone up but he is still a value play for the upside that he presents.   

Evil Geniuses are slightly favored against 100 Thieves in this matchup and the pricing as a team really is what intrigues me. On DK, they do not have a player above $9,000 while on FD, they do not have a player that is priced above $10,500.

The Evil Geniuses squad has a career head-to-head record of 23-9-2 against 100 Thieves so they have seen success against this squad. Brehze and CeRq are the two main cogs for the EG attack while Ethan and Tarik provide good salary relief on both DFS sites. 

Cloud9 has won four out of six head-to-head matches against Orgless and they look to be in another great spot against them on this slate. Cloud9 has won three out of their last five games while Orgles has only won one out of their last five games so Cloud9 looks to be in better form as of right now.

Floppy and oSee are the main guys to look at when stacking C9 but they are rather expensive on DK while oSee is a steal on FD. They have an above .70 kill per round rate over the last three months and have both had solid K/D ratios that range above 1.09. Motm is a great third stacking member and is moderately priced on both sites. 

Other notable team stacks: Red Canids, Gen. G
