Koby Hansons' DraftKings and FanDuel. DFS lineup picks for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on 11/24/21. He analyzes CS:GO slates and top targets for eSports DFS contests.
Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. The Blast Fall Finals is upon us and we got DraftKings and Fanduel on the slate! DraftKings has three later games which include Heroic vs Faze, NaVi vs BiG, and NiP vs Astralis. Fanduel has all three of those games as well as the early game in Vitality vs Team Liquid and both of these teams are making roster changes going into next year, so this will be one last hoorah for those teams.
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, November 24th, 2021, at 06:00, am.

Blast Premier Fall Final
Best of 3
- Vitality (-260) vs. Team Liquid (+190)
- Heroic (-200) vs. FaZe (+150)
- NaVi (-900) vs. BiG (+475)
- NiP (-205) vs. Astralis (+155)
Captain Plays
s1mple: s1mple finally got his first major win, and I don't think we see any stop in momentum. NaVi is the best team in the world currently and is great on LAN tournaments. Over 10 maps, S1mple is averaging an insane 1.74 K/D with a .95 KPR and a very low .55 DPR. Yes, he is the most expensive, but he is playing so well, I don't see how you can't at least flex him in your lineups. NaVi is pretty much a lock to win this game, all the others, I think are closer to tossups. Ride the s1mple train till it ends because if you don't have him, I almost guarantee the winning lineup has him. Also in those 10 maps, he didn't go negative in a single one as well as had a double-digit positive K/D differential in 6 of those 10 games.
broky: GPP Captain option here, the odds indicate that Heroic is a 2-1 favorite, and I think that is just too much for Heroic. FaZe has shown they can compete with the big dogs when it comes to LAN tournaments and the fact that rain and Karrigan have stepped up more. This team can make a move and it's going to have to start here with broky and twistzz. They have been the clear top fraggers for this team. Broky on the AWP is a menace and although their Major dreams came to end earlier than expected broky was still the bright spot of this team as he holds a 1.26 K/D with a .74 KPR and a .59 DPR on LAN. I think even if this game goes in favor of Heroic, FaZe should at least win one map and force a third map which can lead to a lot more kills for anyone on this team.
Other captain plays in order of preference: ZywOo (FD), device, stavn, twistzz, blameF(GPP), electronic
Value Plays
B1T: This is 100% a Fanduel play, but I do like him a lot on DraftKings as well. Fanduel has kindly done us the favor of putting B1T at the cheap price of 9,100$. This basically allows you to put whoever you want in your lineups because he is so cheap. B1T has stepped up tremendously and I seriously think he has become the no.2 on this team. He played out of his mind during the Major as he held a 1.47 K/D with a .73 KPR and a .50 DPR. He is far too cheap for his output and should be heavily considered in your cash lineups on both sites. I also like him on DK as a cheaper captain option.
K0nfig: This is a complete dart throw as it's been a while since we have seen K0nfig and in fact, the last time we saw him was a few months ago when he and BlameF were playing Complexity. This is a very new look Astralis team, and there's a chance we see Astralis make a big move and we could see the upset. Astralis has some heavy hitters now with BlameF, Lucky, and K0nfig working with gla1ve and Xyp9x. K0nfig was playing extremely well before his hand injury and if we see him return to that form, I think he pays off his very cheap price on both sites. If you are more on the NiP side though, look to REZ or Plopski for some value from their team as well.
Other value plays in order of preference: Perfecto, Plopski, karrigan(PUNT), TeSeS, shox, Stewie2k(GPP/FD)

Top Stacks / Team Picks
NaVi: NaVi has the best chance at getting a sweep and definitely getting the win. NaVi didn't lose a single map during the last LAN tournament, and I don't see them losing one here against BiG. On Fanduel where, a team spot matters, NaVi is actually 5th on that list yet has the highest odds. Once again another mistake by Fanduel. S1mple and B1t are my favorite pair from this slate. Perfecto is very cheap and a great option on DraftKings. Electronic is still a top player and should be taken into consideration as well. Boombl4 didn't look awful during the major but with how cheap b1t and perfecto are, I prefer those two to him.
Other team picks: Vitality(FD), FaZe(GPP), NiP
Predictions
Vitality 2-0
FaZe 2-1
Navi 2-0
NiP 2-1
