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 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 Thursday, May 27th, 2021 at 12:00 PM.

Flashpoint
Best of 3
- mousesports vs. G2 (-140)
- SPROUT vs. Complexity (-225)
- Heroic (-240) vs. NiP
Captain Plays:
NiKo is one of the better CSGO players o this slate and makes for a very good captain play regardless of his price. Over his last month of games played, he has generated a 1.22 K/D ratio and leads the G2 squad in both K/D ratio and K/D differential. NiKo is sporting a .78 kill per round rate while having a low .64 death per round rate and has either survived, assisted, or killed someone in 73.3% of rounds played over his last 33 maps. NiKo has done well against mousesports over the last month of maps played as he has garnered a 1.11 K/D ratio against them while going +14 against them in those seven maps.
blameF had a very dominant game against Anonymo where he put up 41 kills while only having 18 deaths which resulted in 84 DK points on Wednesday afternoon. Over his last 28 maps played, blamef has produced a 1.23 K/D ratio and has had a +109 K/D differential which leads the entire Complexity squad. Over the last month, he has faced off against SPROUT on three maps and in those three maps, blameF has produced a 1.56 K/D ratio and had a +24 K/D differential. If choosing to pay up at the captain spot, blameF is one of your best options.
Other captain plays in order of preference: cadiaN, TeSeS, huNter-
Value Plays:
sjuush has really become a very good player for Heroic yet his price still seems too low for the form that he has shown over the last month. He has a 1.15 K/D ratio over his last 19 maps played and has a .68 kill per round rate while having a low .60 death per round rate which is very good for someone that's under the 7k mark on DK. When looking at his five most recent games, he has managed to produce 50+ DK points in four of them and topped 70+ points twice.
nexa isn't necessarily the safest play from G2 but he has performed well against mousesports in the past which makes rostering him a little bit easier to stomach on this three-game slate. He has faced off against mousesports on four maps over the last three months and on those maps, he combined to go +13 and if he is able to do that again at his current price point, he could certainly crush his value.
Other value plays in order of preference: refrezh, AmaNEk, acoR, plopski, poizon

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Heroic is back again but this time will go up against a pesky NiP team that fought back from the grave and stunned a veteran BIG squad on Wednesday afternoon. While NiP looked good, the juggernaut that is Heroic keeps on steamrolling anyone in their path and we should expect nothing different from them on this three-game slate. Heroic has now won three straight matches and has actually won three straight head-to-head matches against NiP with the most recent game coming in April which was a 2-0 sweep.
The entire Heroic team is in play with the top plays being cadiaN and TeSeS but with their pricing so high, you might need to look at rostering sjuush and refrezh who have both been in solid form over the last month. Both TeSeS and cadiaN had above a +15 K/D differential when they faced off against NiP in April so rostering one of them would be a must from a Heroic standpoint.
Other Stacks: G2, Complexity
