Spring Sweet Spring 1
Best of 3 Series
- EPG Family (-200) vs. fnatic
- forZe vs. FURIA (-180)
Captain Plays:
deko has been a very strong CSGO player for quite some time and has really produced over the last 46 maps played. He is sporting a 1.48 K/D ratio and has a .83 kill per round rate while having a very low death per round rate of .56. He has produced a plus K/D ratio in every single match that he has played over the last month and looks to be the opt play on the slate in all formats.
KSCERATO continues to produce for FURIA and he looks to be a captain option on this two-game slate. Over the last 48 maps played, KSCERATO has produced a 1.19 K/D ratio and has a .73 kill per round rate while having a .62 death per round rate. He has now produced a positive K/D rate in six straight matches played and can be rostered in all formats, especially in cash games.
Other captain plays: yuurih, Forester, FL1T
Value Plays:
arT has seen a big drop in his DK price as he is now $1,400 cheaper than he was on the Tuesday slate against SinnerS. He has produced four straight matches where he has scored above 50 DK points and carries the highest rating in the Spring Sweet Spring 1 tournament with 1.48 rating. He has a 1.30 K/D ratio on three maps played during the event and has a +14 K/D differential so for his price point of just 7k, his production has been very good and could be used in all formats.
Lack1 might be one of the best overall plays on the slate and he is in great form so far in the Spring Sweet Spring 1 event as he has a 1.38 K/D ratio and a +45 K/D differential in 10 maps played. Over his last month of 10 games played, Lack1 has produced a 1.28 K/D ratio and has a .79 kill per round rate while having a low .62 death per round rate. He has scored 60+ DK points in four out of his last six matches and is a great value pick for the captain spot should you need some salary relief.
Other value plays: Krad, Brollan, Zorte, Jerry, NickelBack

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
EPG Family comes into their matchup against fnatic as the higher-ranked squad and in much better form. They are on a 10-match win streak and have gone 12-0 over the past month with a team K/D ratio of 1.34 while fnatic is 5-3 with a team K/D ratio of 1.03. EPG Family has a very strong advantage when it comes to the maps as they have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps and will most likely ban Inferno which is the only map that fnatic has an edge on.
This squad is loaded with talent and with deko standing in, they look even stronger at this current point in time. Deko is filling in nicely and is the highest-priced player on the slate but he is certainly worth paying up for since he is sporting a 1.65 K/D ratio over his last 21 maps played. The other four members for EPG have all carried a 1.20 K/D ratio or above over their last 12 maps played and are all viable members for your EPG stacks with Krad and Lack1 being the preferred stacking options.
Other Stacks: FURIA
