Best of 3 Series
- Evil Geniuses (-160) vs. Liquid (+115)
- Gen. G (-115) vs. Cloud 9 (-120)
- Furia (-315) vs. Chaos (+230)
- 100 Thieves (-550) vs. Triumph (+350)

Captain Plays:
yel stands out as a great captain play on this slate. He is lower priced compared to some of his other teammates but has been in great form over their last 18 maps played. He is carrying a 1.53 K/D ratio during that timeframe and has a .74 kill per round rate while having a very low .49 death per round rate. He is viable in all formats and is one of the best point per dollar plays on the board.
oSee is moderately priced at $8,600 on this slate and with the matchup against Gen. G it is very easy to want to roll with him on this slate. oSee has had some real bight moments as he has produced 70+ DK points in two of his last four games played while also carrying a 1.27 K/D ratio against Gen. G over the last five maps played. Over the last three months, oSee has accumulated a 1.25 K/D ratio and a .78 kill per round rate while having a low .63 death oer round rate. He makes for a great tournament play and can be used as a one-off on this slate.
Other captain plays: boltz, felps, KSCERATO, ELiGE
Value Plays:
chelo is the cheapest Boom member on the slate at 7k and is a must in all lineups. He is carrying a 1.11 K/D ratio over the last 18 maps played and is averaging 57 DK points per game. Chelo gets a kill or an assist in 76.8% of rounds played which is ideal especially given the strong matchup against Havan Liberty. With his teammates being higher-priced, chelo will see some ownership which is why it will be tough to fade him in cash games.
NAF is still priced down and while this is a very tough matchup against Evil Geniuses, the pricepoint of 6.6k is just too good to pass up on. Over the last three months, NAF has produced a 1.09 K/D ratio while having a .67 kill per round rate. Throughout the 2020 year, NAF has played on 24 maps against Evil geniuses and has produced a 1.05 K/D ratio which is pretty solid given the large sample size. He is still better off as a one-off tournament play just given the good form that Evil Geniuses are in.
Other value plays: shz, arT, tarik, Twistzz, AZR

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Boom is a newer team to CSGO DFS players but looks to have a clear edge and advantage over Havan Liberty. Boom has won five straight games and is 4-1 all-time against Havan Liberty which makes them a very strong favorite in this matchup. Boom has dominated their competition over the last three months as they have gone 15-3 over their last 18 games played while carrying a team K/D ratio of 1.38.
Boom is a very high-priced team on this slate and they are tough to truly run a three-man stack. All five of their players are in play as they all carry above a 1.10 K/D ratio over the last three games played. Felps is the highest-priced player but has the best K/D ratio against Havan Liberty and is over 11k which is insane from a roster construction standpoint. Yel, chelo, and shz are all better plays as they are more moderately priced and are able to squeeze into your lineups.
100 Thieves are another heavy favorite on this slate against Triumph and it is hard to like their matchup. Triumph has gone 8-15 over their last 23 maps played while producing a team K/D ratio while 100 Thieves has gone 8-9 while producing a team K/D ratio of 1.05. They do have the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven playable maps which is key since these two squads have never faced off.
100 Thieves is another team that is drastically affected by pricing on this slate. Their best player in jks is priced all the way up at 10k which makes it very tough to squeeze him into your lineups. You will need to check down to other options such as Liazz or AZR who are lower in salary but have produced K/D ratios above 1 over the last month of games played.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Furia
