DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 - (Best of 3)

- GODSENT (+185) vs. FaZe (-260)
- C9 vs. Evil Genius
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Broky is moderately priced at $8,000 on this slate which makes me really like him for the captain role. Over the last month, he has produced a 1.17 K/d ratio while having a .66 kill per round rate and a .56 death per round rate.
With his reduced price, it does allow for some salary relief to build a well-rounded lineup. In his two matches against GODSENT, he has had a 1.86 K/D ratio with a +18 K/D differential. I think broky makes a great tournament play in the captain role.
oSee is priced at $7,800 which is a steal for someone of his caliber. He is averaging 60.6 DK points per game and has had 15 straight games where he has produced 40+ DK points per game.
Over his last 15 games, 10 of those have gone for 50+ DK points and over the last month, he has produced a K/D ratio while having a .71 kill per round rate. He is one of the more consistent players on C9 and makes for a great tournament play on this slate.
Other captain plays: Niko, mir
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
iDISBALANCE is just $6,200 on this slate which is pretty cheap considering his recent form. Over his last month, he has had a 1.23 K/D ratio while having a .70 kill per round rate while having a .57 death per round rate. He has had seven straight games where he has had 50+ DK points which is great value for his price point. This should be a competitive game so there is a pathway for him to hit value.
Motm is just $6,000 and he stands out as a tournament play on this slate. He averages 51.8 DK points per game and has five straight games of scoring above 40+ DK points. Motm has had a 1.08 K/D ratio over the last month while having a .70 kill per round rate. With this being a close matchup against EG, this is more of a gpp play since motm can be volatile with his scoring.
Other value plays: somedieyoung, CeRq, JW, magixx

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
FaZe is one of the best overall teams on this slate and while GODSENT improved as a whole by adding farlig, I will give the edge still to FaZe. They have the career head-to-head record of 2-0 against GODSENT which came earlier this month so it’s fairly recent.
FaZe has won three of their last five while GODSENT has only won two of their last five games so they also get the slight edge in the recent form category. FaZe has had a K/D ratio of 1.07 over the last month with Niko, coldzera, and broky all carrying above a 1.15 K/D ratio during that timespan. Those would be the three main guys to focus on if you were to consider rolling with FaZe.
Cloud9 enters this matchup with winning three of their last five games while also having a win over Evil Geniuses within the last 30 days. Over the last 17 maps played, C9 has produced a team K/D ratio of 1.04 with four of their five squad members having an above 1 K/D ratio.
oSee and floppy lead the way by having an above 1.10 ratio and motm checks in with a 1.08. Those would be the main three C9 members to focus on with adding sonic in if looking for a lower owned C9 player.
Other stacks/teams: Spirit
