CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
CeRq is $8,200 and has really put together a nice streak of games lately. He has hit 50+ DK points in six of his last seven outings with five of those games going for 70+ DK points. Over the last 24 maps played, CeRq has produced a 1.26 K/D ratio while having a .77 kill per round rate and a .61 death per round rate so he is showing really good form.
Since the start of 2020, he has faced Gen. G eight times and has had a 1.06 K/D ratio against them. CeRq has solid upside and should easily be considered for the captain role based on the matchup, upside, and price point.
SyrsoN is the highest-priced BIG player on this slate. While tabseN should draw heavy ownership due to price, syrsoN could get overlooked in the captain role for tournaments which could be a bit of a leverage play. He is averaging 65 DK points per game and is carrying a 1.31 K/D ratio.
In addition to a high K/D ratio over the last month, he has a .76 kill per round rate while having a low death per round rate of .58. Over the same stretch of games, he has finished with a 1+ rating in 80.6% of maps played. He is a safe and consistent play should you choose to pay up in the captain slot on this slate.
Other captain plays: Brehze, NiKo, huNter-, XANTARES
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
kennyS is $6,800 on this slate…..This must be a mispricing! He is averaging 66.9 DK points per game and was just priced at $8,800 on yesterday's slate. He has hit 50+ DK points in twelve of his last thirteen games played and is one of the more consistent G2 players while still offering upside.
Over the last month of games played, kennyS has produced a 1.06 K/D ratio while having a .69 kill per round rate and a .65 death per round rate. KennyS should be viable in all formats and is one of the best overall players on the slate that you can get for a major discount!
tabseN is another player that is severely underpriced for reasons unknown. He is also priced at $6,800 and is averaging 71.3 DK points per game. He has hit over 50+ DK points in eight straight games and has hit 80+ DK points in five of those games.
Over the last 31 maps played, he has produced a 1.15 K/D ratio while having a .75 kill per round rate and a .65 death per round rate. He has been in great form and should be viable in all lineups while also being viable as a value play in the captain role.
Other value plays: Ethan, tiziaN, coldzera, Bymas

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
BIG is hard to overlook from a stacking standpoint regardless of their opponent. Both BIG and Fnatic come into this matchup as winners of four of their last five games with Fnatic having the edge in the overall head-to-head record of 5-2. When looking at the map advantage, BIG has a clear advantage over Fnatic as they have a better winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps. The one map that Fnatic does better on is the one map that BIG chooses as their first ban so this should be even more in their favor.
BIG has been playing extremely well as they have gone 25-6 over their last 31 maps played while having a team K/D ratio of 1.15. SyrsoN and XANTARES lead this team in K/D ratio as they both have ratios above 1.25. TabseN is the best value on the slate based on his price point while tiziaN has produced well and usually goes overlooked in BIG stacks.
Evil Geniuses have been rolling as they are winners of four straight games. While Gen. G has been on a mini winning-streak of their own, EG looks to be the better team in better form. Over the last 24 maps played, EG has gone 16-7-1 while having a team K/D ratio of 1.06. Over the last 19 maps that gen. G has played, they have produced a record of 7-11-1 with a team K/D ratio of .92. From a map perspective, they carry the edge as they have higher winning percentages on four of the seven tournament maps.
From an individual player standpoint, CeRq has been playing really well as he leads this team in K/D ratio over the last month. Both CeRq and Brehze form a great mini-stack from EG that really make up a market share of EG’s total kills. If looking for a value play from this squad, Ethan is third on this team with a 1.04 K/D ratio over the last month. He tends to go lower owned and overlooked so he is a cheaper viable play on this team.
Other stacks/teams: FaZe, G2
