Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (12/11/21) - DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy

Koby Hansons' DraftKings and FanDuel. DFS lineup picks for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on 12/11/21. 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. We are back with the IEM Winter Semi-finals! A big move happened this week as device has fallen ill and will be out of this match against G2. Phzy from their academy team will be taking his spot. These are big shoes to fill. As well as a very tough match to start your tier 1 career in. In the other match, we have Vitality taking on Virtus. Pro. Should be a great slate and it's great that we have both DK and FD putting out a slate for us.

Today I'll be bringing you my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis, and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Saturday, December 11th, 2021, at 010:00, am.

Malta Vibes

Best of 3 

• Virtus.Pro (+130) vs. Vitality (-170)
• G2 (-460) vs. NiP (+300)

Captain Plays

NiKo: By far one of the best plays on the slate. In the Flex spot or Captain, he is by far in the best spot for this slate. With device being out, I'm not seeing much resistance from NiP. NiKo should be able to roam free and eat up as many kills as he can handle. As there just isn't anyone that is playing at his level right now in this match. He is carrying a 1.34 K/D with a .86 KPR and a .64 DPR. He has one negative match over the last 3 months of play only a few maps overall where he has gone negative. During this tournament alone he is +40 on 153 kills over the course of 6 maps. He is averaging over 25 kills per map, Roster him. Do not fade at all costs.

ZywOo: The other player I highly recommend rostering is ZywOo. Your No.2 player in the world. I see this match being much closer, and if you believe this goes three maps, Zywoo has 80+ kill potential over those three maps. Which can lead to an insane stat line come to the end of the match. Over the last three months of play, ZywOo is averaging a 1.38 K/D with a .83 KPR and a .60 DPR. He has played well in this tournament so far going +46 on 203 Kills over the course of 9 maps. I have no doubt in my mind that this game is going to be a close one, and that usually leads to more kills. Vitality is going to want another crack at G2 in the finals, they should pull this one out.

Other captain plays in order of preference: Jame, Yekindar, hunter, Rez(GPP)

Value Plays

AmaneK: When you need a value on such a top-heavy slate you have to make sacrifices. Unfortunately here AmaneK is that sacrifice. He has been a bit inconsistent but I think this is the perfect bounce-back spot or get right spot for him. He looked pretty bad in their last outing against Vitality but in the previous match against Liquid, he went +8 on 41 kills which is much better. He has shown that he pops off and with him being the cheapest spot specifically on Fanduel. I'll take that especially with the high chance of this one ending in a sweep. KennyS is also a decent pivot option on DraftKings if you need the extra value. Over the last 3 months, he has averaged a 1.11 K/D with a .64 KPR and a .58 DPR.

Fl1T: On the other side of the Vitality game we have Virtus. pro. Where Fl1t has been fantastic during this tournament. He went +5 in their one map win over Ence, +12 in their sweep over Gambit, and +13 in their sweep over GODSENT as well. He has been playing very and has shown to be a crucial asset to this team. He is very cheap as he is only 6,600$ on DK and 10.2k on FD. I love him especially on FD where we have to find that one-off from a third team. He fits perfectly into what we need. Fl1T is an awesome value play on this slate.

Other value plays in order of preference: misutaaa, kennyS, qikert, Plopski(GPP)

Top Stacks / Team Picks

G2: After the news that Device was out of this match, G2's odds skyrocketed. The last time they played them was not only also on LAN G2 also dominated them even with device. This should be a great match for G2 to heat up for the finals on Sunday. I highly recommend making your focus on G2 as they are the most likely team to not only win but they should also sweep. NiKo and Hunter are great pairs if you can fit them. I don't ever recommend Jackz, he has been on my do-not playlist for a long time. AmaneK has been playing well and KennyS is far too cheap. Especially since he has played well since his return. G2 is in a great spot, I don't see them messing this one up.

Predictions

Vitality 2-1
G2 2-0
