DreamHack Masters Series
Best of 3
- Natus Vincere vs. FaZe
- Liquid (-250) vs. Gen. G (+180)
- MiBR (-150) vs. Cloud 9 (+115)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
NAF has been performing exceptionally well lately and has carried Liquid with his 1.16 K/D ratio over the last month. He has a .76 kill per round rate while only having a .65 death per round rate which is a solid differential to have.
In his career, he has performed really well against Gen. G, formerly known as Cloud9, as he has had a +26 K/D differential against this quad in four career maps. NAF could go overlooked in this matchup which makes him a great tournament play due to his upside, his price point at $8,000, and potential lower ownership.
S1mple is $8,400 which is just insane for the upside he brings. He has scored 115 DK points in two of his last four games and he will be an extremely chalky play which means if he scores high at higher ownership and you don’t have him, your lineups could be done.
S1mple is averaging 76.4 DK points per game and is carrying a 1.46 K/D ratio over the last month which is just insane. In addition, he has a .89 kill per round rate and a .61 death per round rate which is too good to pass up on. S1mple is a lock in all formats and should be the first person that you plug into your lineups.
Other captain plays: EliGE, FalleN, electronic
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Twistzz checks in as a solid value at $7,200. He is averaging 59.3 DK points per game and has been playing really well as of late as he has had a 1.15 K/D ratio over the last 10 maps played.
He has produced 50+ DK points in five straight games and has been second on Liquid in total K/D ratio over the last month. With his recent form being so good, Twistzz looks to be a viable play in all formats.
kNgV- might be my favorite tournament value play on this slate. He is $7,000 and has been performing extremely well as of late. Over the last month, he has generated the second-highest K/D ratio on MiBR with a 1.12 and has had a .75 kill per round rate.
He has shown monster upside in the past for the price range that he is in but can be a tad volatile which makes him more of a tournament play at times. He has eclipsed 50+ DK points per game in three of his last four games and has a 1.04 K/D ratio against Cloud 9 in his last three maps that he has played against them.
Other value plays: boombl4, broky, oSee, trk

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
MiBR has been playing pretty well as of late as they have gone 3-0-2 in their last five matches with the two ties coming in a Bo1 format. Over the last month, they have had a team K/D ratio of 1.03 while going 7-6-2 in a 15 map span. Cloud 9 has struggled a bit over the last month as they have only produced a team K/D ratio of .94 and have had a record of 6-7 in 13 maps played. These two squads faced off against one another last month with MiBR locking in a 2-1 victory and taking the lead in the overall head-to-head record of 6-5.
MiBR has some really strong pieces to consider for your lineups on this slate. FalleN leads the group with a 1.21 K/D ratio over the last month while kNgV- looks to be a solid piece with his $7,000 price tag and having a 1.21 K/D ratio. Fer is the last guy to truly consider but he has been in a small slump as he has only produced a 1.02 K/D ratio over the last month of games played. If looking for a punt, trk is in the low $6,000 range and could be worth a stab if you think he can replicate his 87 point performance from the other day.
While neither team has been playing great, Liquid stands out in their matchup against Gen. G. When looking at the last month of competitive play, Liquid has gone 1-4 while Gen. G has gone 1-3-1. Over the same stretch of games, Liquid has had a team K/D ratio .99 which isn’t amazing but somehow Gen. G has managed to top them and only produce a .90 K/D ratio so the edge goes to Liquid. From a head-to-head standpoint, Liquid has dominated this matchup as they own a 4-0 record against Gen. G with all of their wins coming against them during the 2019 season.
Based on recent play, NAF and Twistzz have been the best players for Liquid over the last month. They both have carried an above 1.15 K/D ratio and have an above 20+ K/D differential. EliGE also deserves consideration even though he himself has not been performing well. Over the last month, he has had a .93 K/D ratio which doesn’t match his K/D ratio of three months which is 1.14. He is due for some positive regression and it could start with this matchup against Gen. G.
Other stacks/teams: Natus Vincere
