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 four-game main slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the BLAST Premier and LOOT.BET Season 7 series. The best news is that we are finally back to a best-of-three format and have more than three games on a slate!
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Monday, June 15th, 2020 at 7:15 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!
BLAST/ LOOT.BET Season 7
Best of 3
- SKADE (+115) vs. PACT (-150)
- Apeks (+240) vs. Nemiga (-345)
- G2 (-135) vs. Vitality (EVEN)
- FaZe (-125) vs. ENCE (-110)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Lollipop21k is one of the cheaper captain options on this slate since he is priced at $7,200 but this looks to be a great spot for him. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a 1.34 K/D ratio and a 1.26 match rating which is the highest on his team for both categories. Over the same time span, he has had a .82 kill per round rate while only having a .61 death per round rate which shows how efficient he has been playing and how well he has done from a damage standpoint.
He is a headhunter as he has a 50.4 % headshot percentage which is impressive since his main weapon is the AK47 and not a sniper. With his price point being low, Lollipop21k is one of the better overall plays with the given matchup and salary savings that he provides.
huNter- is really priced down at just $7,400 and after a big collapse against BIG in a Bo5 series yesterday, you know G2 will be looking to bounce back in a big way. HuNter- is averaging 62.9 DK points per game which is a top-five average on the slate. He holds a career K/D ratio of 1.11 against Vitality in 20 career maps played and holds a 1.12 K/D ratio since the start of 2020.
This should be a competitive game against Vitality and in order for G2 to win. huNter- will need to bring his "A" game. He looks to be more of a tournament play since there are some other options on this slate that look to be a tad safer for the captain role.
Other captain plays: Sobol, huNter-, Zyw0o, kennyS, NiKo
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Goofy sits right at $7,000 and while he has not accrued any DK points for any previous games, he looks to be a great value play. He has had a 1.13 K/D ratio over the last 19 maps played and has racked up a .77 kill per round rate while having a .68 death per round rate.
Over the same time span, he has had 73.7% of his matches end with him having a +1 rating which is very encouraging and shows how consistent he has been overall. Given his matchup and the solid form that he has shown, Goofy looks to be viable in all formats.
Speed4k is another Nemiga player that is drastically underpriced on this slate. He is $7,200 and is averaging 59.7 DK points per game which make him look like a steal. Over the last 30 maps that he has played, he has garnered a 1.21 K/D ratio while having a .69 kill per round rating while only having a .57 death per round rating.
Speed4k does a great job on each individual round as he has a 75.5% KAST rating which shows the percentage of rounds that the player either records kill, kill assist, trades kills with an opponent, or survived the round. Speed4k is viable in all formats and is one of the more reliable players on this slate.
Other value plays: boX, draco, mds, coldzera, broky, AmaNeK

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
PACT looks to have a good edge in this matchup against SKADE. They come into this matchup winning three straight games and are the higher-ranked squad. In addition, they’re carrying a team K/D ratio of 1.04 over the last month of maps played while SKADE has produced a .95 team K/D ratio over the same timespan. Pact has had a 13-7 record over their last 20 maps played which is extremely strong while SKADE carries a 19-26 record over their last 45 maps played.
PACT also has the map edge as they carry higher win percentages on six of the seven maps that are in the competition rotation. PACT has three main players that have been in good form over the last month. Sobol is carrying a 1.12 K/D ratio and a 1.15 match rating over the last month. Goofy and darco are the other two PACT players to consider as they have shown really good form as they both have had 1.05 K/D ratios over the last month.
Nemiga is another strong stack to consider on this four-game slate. They come into this matchup being ranked 27th in the world while Apeks is ranked 58th overall. Nemiga has been performing well lately as they are winners of four of their last five matches played and have a team K/D ratio of 1.18 over the last 30 maps played. Over that 30 map stretch, they have gone 23-7 and have a higher winning percentage on six out of seven qualified maps when compared to Apeks.
Over the last month of games, Nemiga has had all five of their players accrue a K/D ratio above 1 which shows the kind of form that they have been in. Lollipop21k leads this time with 1.34 K/D ratio and is heavily discounted so he looks to be where you start your Nemiga stacks. Speed4k and boX are the other Nemiga players that truly stick out and should be considered.
Other stacks/teams: FaZe, G2
