Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have been focusing on the NHL playoffs but as the hockey season starts to wind down, it is time to shift the focus back to CS:GO. 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.
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Thursday, September 10th, 2020 at 8:00 AM.

ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe
Best of 3
- NaVi (-345) vs. AGO (+245)
- BIG (-150) vs. Heroic (+110)
- 100 Thieves (-170) vs. Chaos (+125)
- G2 (-135) vs. ENCE (EVEN)
Captain Plays:
s1mple carries the highest price tag on the slate but he is simply the best player on the slate. He is averaging 74.4 DK points per game and has extreme upside as he has gone for 90+ DK points in two of his last four games played.
s1mple has been extremely dominant over his last three months of games played. He has a +266 K/D differential and a 1.41 K/D ratio over his last 43 maps played and has an incredible .82 kill per round rate while having a .58 death per round rate. If you're wanting the best overall play on the slate, look no further than rostering s1mple.
nexa sits at a modest price point on this slate at $8,000. He has led G2 in K/D ratio over the last three months with a 1.14 and has garnered a matching rating of 1.14 as well during that span.
Nexa carries a great headshot percentage at 55.4% and has a .75 kill per round rate while maintaining a .66 death per round rate. Nexa is extremely consistent as he has scored 50+ DK points in 11 straight matches and is a great choice for your lineup when it comes to your cash game builds.
Other captain plays: niko, tabseN
Value Plays:
Xeppaa has been a man on a mission as of late. He has produced 60+ DK points in three of his last four matches played and carries a 57.6 DK point per game average. Chaos is an underdog on this slate which Xeppaa could get overlooked in tournaments.
Over the last three months, he has produced a 1.21 K/D ratio which is insane for his price point of $6,200. In addition, Xeppaa has accrued a .78 kill per round rate while only having a .64 death per round rate. With his recent form, Xeppaa makes for a great value play in tournaments alongside his Chaos teammates.
TeSeS has a tough match against BIG but still is at a great price point if you're trying to get exposure to Heroic on this slate. Over the last three months, he has sported a 1.07 K/D ratio while carrying a 56.6% headshot percentage.
TeSeS has been very consistent as he has posted 50+ DK points in seven of his last 10 games played while reaching double-digit assists in his last three games played. While he hasn't done well against BIG over the last several maps played, TeSeS along with the rest of his teammates could be considered for large-field tournaments based on lower ownership.
Other value plays: perfecto, MarKE, leaf, jaCkz, TeSeS, tiziaN

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
NaVi looks to be in a great spot on this slate against AGO. They come in as the higher-ranked team and are winners of two of their last five matches while AGO has only won one of their last five games played. Navi carries a sizeable advantage when it comes to the map selection as they have a higher winning percentage on five of the seven tournament maps and as we know, this is a crucial edge for teams in Counter Strike.
For NaVi to pull out a win, they will rely on their top player in s1mple. He is one of the top players in the world and without him, they are just an average squad. Other Navi players to consider are electronic and perfecto. Electronic has done well throughout the summer as he has posted a 1.14 K/D ratio over his last three months of games played while Perfecto has done well recently posting a 1 K/D ratio over his last 13 maps played.
G2 is sitting in the top five of the world rankings and now gets to face a top 15 team in ENCE. Both teams have won three of their last five games played with G2 owning the career head to head matchup with a record of 11-5. These squads split the map advantage 3-3- with Overpass being a map that neither team plays on so this could be a competitive match. When looking at their stats over the last three months, G2 carries the edge as they have produced a better winning percentage and a higher team K/D ratio.
Stacking G2 seems to be pretty straightforward. Nexa has been their best player over the last three months as he has carried the highest K/D ratio on the squad. hUnter- and kennyS both carry upside and are the main targets to stack with nexa. If you're looking for more of a value play from G2, JaCkz has been playing well over the last three months as he has carried a 1.01 K/D ratio over that timespan.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Chaos
