Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks.

Flashpoint 3
Best of 3
- Vitality (-170) vs. FPX
- Heroic (-225) vs. Complexity
Captain Plays:
TeSeS really let us down on Thursday but he still is one of the best Heroic players to consider on the slate, especially for the captain position. Over the last month, TeSeS has produced a 1.10 K/D ratio while having a .72 kill per round rate. TeSeS has been solid against BIG over the last three months as he has faced off against them in five different maps and he has accrued a 1.08 K/D ratio while having a +7 K/D differential.
Zyw0o has been in great form over the last month as he has accrued a 1.65 K/D ratio over his last 12 maps played and makes for a great captain play in all formats. He carries a very high upside and has gone plus in five of his last six matches played. Ztw0o has scored 80+ DK points in four of his last five games that he has played which makes him an ideal captain pick on this two-game slate.
Other captain plays: Maden, blameF
Value Plays:
refrezh still looks to be one of the best, if not, the best value on the slate, especially for his price point. Even in a loss, he scored 41 points but has eclipsed 50+ DK points in four straight games prior to yesterday. He leads Heroic with a 1.24 K/D ratio over the last 13 maps played and is sporting a team-high +48 K/D differential during that span.
zehN could be a really good value if you're wanting to get different in tournament builds and think FPX could push this match to three maps. He leads FPX with a 1.37 K/D ratio and a +70 K/D differential over his last 13 maps played and is in the best form out of all FPX players. He has a .77 kill per round rate while having a .55 death per round rate and has managed to go plus in five straight matches against some tough competition.
Other value plays: sjuush, stavn, apEX, jks

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Heroic let us down big-time on Thursday as they got beat 2-1 against G2 but that should not stop us from going back to the Heroic well. They have beaten Complexity in three straight matches ad come into this match with the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps. As a team, they are in much better form than Complexity as Complexity has dropped four of their last five matches while Heroic has won three of their last five with all three wins being a 2-0 map sweep.
When stacking Heroic, one thing to note is that their lower-priced guys are actually outperforming their high-priced players. CadiaN is the highest-salaried player but has been in the worst form over the last month as he has a .99 K/D ratio. He would be the main one to avoid in a Heroic stack. Refrezh, sjuush, stavn, and TeSeS would all be the main Heroic guys to focus on and would be the ones to build around with refrezh being the main guy based on his form and pricepoint.
Other Stacks: Vitality
