This has been an awesome tournament so far and has provided us with a steady stream of solid 4-6 match slates. We have a number of really good teams in action today and some really closely projected matches which should make for an awesome GPP slate.

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
kennyS is extremely underpriced on DK at just $7,800 for his upside in this matchup. He has scored 70+ DK points in four of his last five games and has also had double-digit assists in four of his last five games as well.
Throughout the Road to Rio qualifier, kennyS has a 1.23 event rating and has a .76 kill per round rating while having a .56 death per round rating. Over that same stretch, he has [produced a 1.35 K/D ratio which is extremely good. He is viable for both cash games and tournaments and is my top play on the slate.
NiKo is the highest-priced player on this slate but is still moderately priced at $9,000. He is averaging 70.8 KD points per game and has a 1.15 K/D ratio over the 17 maps played. He has a .73 kill per round rate while only having a .64 death per round rate over the 17 map stretch.
NiKo should be a popular choice so he should be a viable option in the captain role for cash games while you might be ok looking elsewhere for tournaments if you are doing single entry tournaments. If you have multiple lineups, he is definitely worthy of captain consideration for one of those lines!
Other captain plays: huNter-, Nexa, coldzera, broky, frozen, ropz
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Olofmeister has been playing very well as of late. He has gone plus in five of his last six games and carries a 1.02 K/D ratio over the last month.
While he doesn’t have the biggest upside in the world, he does get you cheap exposure to one of the bigger favorites on the slate who has been in really good form and keeps his death total down with a .62 death per round rate.
Woxic is just $7,000 but makes for a great value in the mid-range price point if you are looking for exposure to Mousesports on this slate.
Over the last month, he has played 24 maps and has a K/D ratio of 1.03 with a .69 kill per round rate. Woxic is averaging 53.9 DK points per game and has had seven straight games of 50+ DK points so he is viable for both cash games and tournaments on this slate.
Other value plays: AmaNeK, Maden, jacKz

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
G2 has won three of their last five games and has a 2-0 career record against North. As a team, they have produced a team K/D ratio of 1.15 during the Road to Rio qualifier while North has produced a team K/D ratio of .96 over their last month of games.
G2 is the largest favorite on the slate and should be a chalky team due to the price but look to be in a fantastic spot. KennyS and nexa have been in great form with both of them having above a 1.10 K/D ratio while huNter- has accrued a 1.08 K/D ratio. JaCkz and AmaNEk are both great value plays from this squad that could be lower owned since the rest of G2 is pretty affordable.
FaZe is the second-highest favorite on the slate and is a top stacking option. They have won five straight games while c0ntact has dropped five straight games so they have the better form entering this match. C0ntact carries a team K/D ratio of .86 over the last month while FaZe has had a team K/D ratio of 1.17 so this looks to be a big-time advantage for FaZe.
NiKo is the best player on this squad and is the most expensive. Broky and coldzera have been unbelievable over the last month as they both have accrued K/D ratios above 1.30 over the last 17 maps played. Olofmeister provides the best value on this team if you are looking for cheap exposure.
Other stacks/ teams: Mousesports, GODSENT
