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 two slates tomorrow morning and I have covered both in this article. The early morning slate is for the Nine to Five Dawn tournament while the late morning slate is for the FAST Cup.
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, July 20th, 2020 at 3:00 AM and 10:00 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!
Nine to Five Dawn
Best of 3
- GamerLegion (-225) vs. HONORIS (+165)
- Lyngby Vikings (EVEN) vs. Tikitakan (-130)
Gamer Legion vs. HONORIS
GamerLegion is the largest favorite on this early morning slate and comes into this matchup as the higher-ranked squad. Both squads really haven’t been on fire as they both have won one of their last five games played. GamerLegion has gone 6-11 over the last 17 maps played while producing a team K/D ratio of .97. HONORIS has played 49 maps over the last three months and has gone 15-34 with a team K/D ratio of .90 so GamerLegion gets the edge.
Mezii has been the strongest player on the GamerLegion squad as he has produced a 1.25 K/D ratio over the last 17 maps played. He is the highest-priced player on the slate at $9,200 but could be worth spending up for. Outside of Mezii, Zero and eraa are ones to target with them having K/D ratios above 1 over the last three months of games played. From the HONORIS side, STOMP is the one player to truly consider. He has a 1.09 ratio and is the only one that has major upside on this squad.
Lyngby Vikings vs. Tikitakan
Tikitakan is the team to target from this game based on initial glance. They have won three out of their last five matches while the Lyngby Vikings have lost their last five matches. In addition to their recent matches, Tikitakan has gone 7-4 with a team K/D ratio of 1.09 while Lyngby Vikings have gone 6-9 with a team K/D ratio of .90, so the recent form edge goes to Tikitakan.
Tikitakan has some really solid players to roster on this slate. Ayben has produced a 1.27 K/D ratio over the last 11 maps played and leads this squad in K/D differential. Spinx has the second-highest K/D ratio on the squad and checks in at $6,800 which makes him a great value play. Djur is another guy to consider and is more of a tournament play due to his lack of experience (3 maps played all year long) but has a 1.20 K/D ratio in those three maps played. If you were looking to use a Lyngby Viking player, raalz would be one to consider since he leads the squad in K/D ratio.
Captain: Mezii, Ayben
Pool: eraa, Sphinx, Djur, zero, STOMP, raalz

FAST Cup
Best of 3
- Singularity vs. SJ
- Budapest Five vs. ttc
Singularity vs. SJ
This game looks to be a lopsided affair based on first glance. Singularity is ranked #81 overall in the world while SJ is ranked #176 in the world. Singularity enters this match as winners of two of their last five games while SJ has dropped five straight matches so the recent edge goes to Singularity. These teams haven’t really given us too much to work with from a data standpoint, especially from the SJ side of things. SJ has played three maps over the last month and has gone 1-2 with a team K/D ratio of .77. Singularity has seen more action as they have gone 6-16 over their last 22 maps played while having a .92 K/D ratio.
This game could lead to players from both sides of this game in all honesty. From the Singularity side, they have nicoodoz who will be filling in for this matchup. Nicoodoz has carried a 1.19 K/D ratio over the last three months of maps played with a .71 kill per round rate. Celrate is another Singularity player to target that could be used in a mini-stack or even as a one-off play. He has had a 1.07 K/D ratio over the last month of games played and has a .70 kill per round rate. From the SJ side of things, Jemi is the one-true player to really consider. Over the last three months, he has accrued a 1.22 K/D ratio with a .89 kill per round rate. His teammates really struggle so this game overall would really produce a 2-1 stack in tournament lineups.
Budapest Five vs. ttc
Budapest Five looks to be the favorite in this matchup against ttc. They come in as winners of two of their last five games played while ttc has lost five straight matches. In addition, Budapest Five owns the all-time head-to-head record against ttc with a 2-1 record. Budapest Five has gone 6-8 over the last month of games played while ttc has played only three maps over the last three months. With knowing this, ttc could experience some serious competition rust which makes Budapest Five a viable stacking option on this slate.
On the Budapest Five side of things, Torzsi leads this team over the last month with a 1.16 K/D ratio and is moderately priced at $8,400. Kory and coolio are solid stacking options but Kory is high-priced which makes him tough to squeeze in with his expensive price tag. Coolio on the other hand is priced all the way down at $5,600 so this is a perfect time to take advantage of the pricing discount since he is floating right around at a .99 K/D ratio. On the other side of this game, KrowNii has been the best ttc player since the start of 2020 with a 1.02 K/D ratio so he makes for a great one-off play.
Captain: Torzsi, Nicoodoz
Pool: Celrate, Jemi, Kory, coolio, Krowni
