Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. The first day of dreamhack went almost as expected, BiG, Fnatic, and Ence all pulled out wins and unfortunately, Bymas came down with an illness, and therefore chrisj was thrown in last minute and MAD Lions were able to pull out a win. Into today we have a couple of tough matchups, MOUZ gets GamerLegion, MAD Lions gets BiG, Forze gets Spirit, and lastly, we have a dead-even matchup of Ence against Fnatic.
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, November 11th, 2021, at 7:30, am.

Captain Plays
ropz: ropz even in a loss today managed to go positive and was a top play. He went +7 on 56 kills, and other than his matchup against Virtus Pro. He had been on a tear and I'll bank on him doing it again tomorrow. They will need ropz and frozen to step up big time to continue in this tournament as they can't afford another loss. Over the last three months, Ropz has had two negative K/D matches. He is also averaging a 1.24 K/D with a .74 KPR and a low .6 DPR. He is in a great spot to rack up big points even if this game goes three maps.
zorte: Zorte is currently putting the team on his back and carrying them. If there is anyone to rely on from this forze team it is definitely him. He is also their AWPer and I like how he limits his deaths. He scored well today and that was a loss to Ence. In a match that could go three maps, I like how much zorte could possibly score as each map should be very close which can result in a lot more kills. zorte is averaging a 1.22 K/D with a .73 KPR and .6 DPR. I like zorte, whether or not Forze wins, as even in losses zorte is still scoring well and going positive in most matches.
Other captain plays in order of preference: tabsen, Spinx, smooya, Woro2k(GPP), dycha
Value Plays
frozen: I seriously think this is a mistake on Fanduel's part because dexter is over 11k and there is no reason for that to be the case. But with frozen so cheap, we shall take advantage of that. A pairing with ropz works perfectly here or go double value plays with acoR who played very well also. Mouz is probably in one of the safer matchups tomorrow and I think will be more prepared for tomorrow's matchup with a little more time to prep with chrisj. This is purely a Fanduel play as frozen is a top price on Draftkings, and I can't pay for that. Over the last three months, Frozen has averaged a 1.16 K/D with a .73 KPR and .63 DPR.
JL: Jl has been sneaky good and his price is even better. This is more of a GPP play as I'm not sold that MAD Lions beat BiG but I think they have the best chance as an underdog to pull off an upset. Just in the last month he has been playing well, +18 against Skade, +26 against SAW Youngsters, +17 against OFFSET, and +6 against Mouz just today. He is only 7k on DraftKings and 9,700$ on FD, he is averaging a 1.12 K/D with a .75 KPR and a .67 DPR. At his price, he is a solid value in what could be a great close game. JL and Woro2k were a big part of how they were able to beat G2 just last month and they are going to need to keep it in gear to beat BiG tomorrow as well.
Other value plays in order of preference: gade(DK), acoR, Brollan, AleX(PUNT)

Top Stacks / Team Picks
Forze: I'm not sure that we see a sweep in tomorrow's matches and therefore I think there is a lot of ways to go about this slate, but Forze has emerged as a possible team that comes out with a win. Spirit looked awful today in their matchup against Fnatic as they got demolished. Forze kept it surprisingly close with Ence till the very end of both maps. I don't think that they sweep but I do believe that Forze is good enough to keep it very close with Spirit and even win this match. Zorte is probably the first one I would add to my lineups as he is consistently one of the top fraggers for Forze. After that, it would be KENSI or Jerry as the second player to add. After that shalfey is an okay play but I would completely avoid Norwi as he has consistently been a bottom fragger and is going negatively in nearly every matchup. Zorte and KENSI would be my favorite pairing from this team.
Predictions
MAD Lions 2-1
Mouz 2-1
Forze 2-1
Fnatic 2-1
