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 Monday, May 3rd, 2021 at 8:45 AM.

Spring Sweet Spring 1
Best of 3 Series
- Extremum (-155) vs. AGO
- forZe (-110) vs. K23 (-120)
Captain Plays:
jkaem is a top player on this slate and should be considered in all formats. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a 1.07 K/D ratio and has recorded an impressive 52.9% headshot rate. He has a strong .74 kill per round rate while having a .69 death per round rate and has a 1.25 K/D ratio against AGO over the last month.
n0rb3r7 is the leader of K23 and is the second-highest player on the slate. Over his last three months, he has produced a 1.24 K/D ratio and has a very strong 51.7% headshot percentage during that span. N0rb3r7 during his last 75 maps played is producing a .81 kill per round rate and has a low .65 death per round rate which is ideal if looking for a safe captain play that offers a safe floor. Over the last year, he has faced forZe on 16 maps and has generated a 1.01 K/D ratio so if looking to pay up for a player, n0rb3r7 could be one to consider.
Other captain plays: BnTeT, snatchie, FL1T
Value Plays:
Gratisfaction looks to be one of the better overall plays on the slate and for his price point, he can be one of the best value plays as well. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a 1.02 K/D ratio while accruing a 1.34 K/D ratio against AGO last week. With it being a small slate, you might need a value for the captain spot, and based on what he was able to in last week's matchup, rostering Gratisfaction could be a nice tournament move.
mou is the best overall value on this slate and serves as the top value play and could even be considered for a captain spot as well. Over the last three months of games played, Mou has produced a 1.19 K/D ratio and has had a .72 kill per round rate while having a low.61 death per round rate. He has played three maps against forZe over the last three maps and has generated a 1.29 K/D ratio while going +17, and if he can replicate a performance like that again, he will be a top scorer on the slate.
Other value plays: fame, rallen, jerry, alzamer

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Extremum is on a three-game win streak and looks to extend it as they square off against AGO. They swept AGO last week 2-0 by winning both games by a score of 16-13 which was also the first time these squads have ever faced off. AGO does own the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven playable maps but the two squads are very close on some maps that it could go either way.
Extremum is the largest favorite on this two-game slate so getting exposure of them should be a good idea. Jkaem and BnTeT have performed the best over the last three months of play as they both carry above a 1 K/D ratio while Gratisfaction performed well in their head-to-head matchup last week against AGO. Jkaem and Gratisfaction both went +10 and+11 in that matchup so they would be the two to truly consider from this squad.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: K23
