Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have to admit, I am having a ton of fun playing and covering eSports DFS at RotoBaller! As always, I will do my best to 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 which can also be related to FanDuel contests as well.
We have a three-game main slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the DreamHack Masters Series. The best news is that we are finally back to a best-of-three format!
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Tuesday, June 9th, 2020 at 8:00 AM. Be sure to also check out our awesome CS:GO Premium DFS Tools including our Lineup Optimizer, Research Station, Projections, and DFS Cheat Sheets! Feel free to follow me on Twitter @jorgepucks as I am happy to engage with readers and try to answer your questions. Good luck RotoBallers!
DreamHack Masters Series
Best of 3
- NiP (-160) vs. Astralis (+115)
- Natus Vincere (-155) vs. G2 (+115)
- FaZe (-235) vs. BIG (+165)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
NiKo has had some dominant games lately as he has had six straight games go for 60+ DK points. Out of those six games, four of those games have gone for 70+ DK points with two of those going for 90+ DK points.
He is priced right at $9,000 which is a solid price point for someone who is averaging 74.6 DK points per game. Over the last month, he has had a K/D ratio of 1.08 while having a .80 kill per round rate. NiKo is a consistent player and looks to be viable for both cash game lines as well as tournament lines.
Plopski is $7,600 and looks to be a good tournament play for the captain spot on this slate. He is averaging 51.8 DK points per game and brings 80+ point upside. Over the last 25 maps played, he has had a 1.06 K/D ratio which is slightly lower than his three month average of 1.13.
The one statistic that stands out for him is that he has produced a 1.40 K/D ratio in his last six maps played against Astralis. Plopski is a great tournament option that could get overlooked with the other top-tiered players on this slate.
Other captain plays: broky, nawwk, s1mple, kennyS, huNter-
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Coldzera is back to $7,000 and this is too good of a price point for someone who has 80 point upside on any given slate. Over his last six games, four of them have gone for 60+ DK points and he has had a 1.20 K/D ratio over his last 13 games played.
With FaZe being a popular pick, it would be best to have coldzera in your cash game lineups due to his upside and likely high ownership.
Electronic is on the higher-end of the value spectrum of $7,200 but he has been performing really well. He has had a 1.15 K/D ratio over the last month while having a .75 kill per round rate and only a .66 death per round rate.
He has had six straight games of 50+ DK points with three of those going for 70+ points. For his price range, he is certainly a tournament option and could even be looked at for a lower owned captain if you are multi-entering.
Other value plays: nexa, boombl4, hampus

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
FaZe is the biggest favorite on this slate and it is hard not to look their way from a stacking standpoint. They have won four of their last five games and are ranked #7 in the world. BIG has been performing just as well as they have won four of their last five games and come into this matchup ranked #24 in the world.
FaZe has faced better overall competition recently and have gone 9-4 over their last 13 games while posting a team K/D ratio of 1.08. The big three of broky, coldzera, and NiKo are all in play as they have all performed well over the last month. This should be the core to look at for FaZe stacks on this slate due to their consistency and upside.
NiP takes on Astralis which we all know by now is not the true Astralis team that reached the #1 world ranking. Astralis has been 1-5 ever since they were joined by both JUGi and Snappi which shows how important Xyp9x and gla1ve were to this squad's success.
NiP has gone 2-2-1 in their last five games and has had a team K/D ratio of 1.01 while Astralis has lost four of their last five games while having a .86 K/D ratio over their last six games. NiP beat Astralis in a Bo1 match by a score of 16-7 so they look to be in a good spot in this best of three series.
Nawwk has led this team in K/D ratio over the last month with a 1.31 ratio which makes him a must play in NiP stacks. Plopski is second on the team with his overall K/D ratio and has a 1.40 K/D ratio against Astralis in his last six games played so he would be another to include in your Astralis stack. REZ is a third viable option that is mid-priced while hampus is your punt value play from this squad.
Other stacks/teams: Natus Vincere (Slight edge over G2)
