Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. S1mple finally got his first major win. It's crazy to think that was his first, but they took down G2 in double OT and managed to not lose a single map throughout the entire tournament. Great win for NaVi. We are onto the DreamHack Open and thankfully FanDuel has decided to join us again with CS:GO! As that has been my main DFS site, it's nice to have them back in the mix of things! We have four matches on our slate today, first, we have BiG taking on GamerLegion, MAD Lions taking on MOUZ, Ence gets Forze in their first matchup, and lastly, we have Fnatic taking on a new Team Spirit!
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis, and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Wednesday, November 10th, 2021, at 7:30, am.

DreamHack Open Novemeber 2021
Best of 3
- BiG (-325) vs. GamerLegion (+230)
- MAD Lions (+160) vs. Mouz (-210)
- Ence (-350) vs. forze (+240)
- Fnatic (-225) vs. Team Spirit (+170)
Captain Plays
smooya: This might have been the best roster move I have seen, smooya has propelled Fnatic into being a contender. He has only two maps where he has a negative K/D since joining Fnatic a month ago. He has an overall K/D of 1.51 and a .85 KPR and a very low .56 DPR. Smooya is easily one of the best plays on the board. On Fanduel I highly recommend getting him in at captain but on DraftKings, it might be a bit difficult to do that so I at least recommend getting him in as a flex. Spirit lost chopper and mir and they were big parts of this Spirit team. It might take Spirit some getting used to their new roster, I think Fnatic cruises through this match.
dycha: If you have the salary, I recommend getting up to Spinx, but I think dycha at his price is a viable option, more so on FanDuel. Hades is a great cheap pivot on DraftKings. Over the last three months, Ence has been playing well and I think a lot of that has to do with multiple players stepping up including dycha into a bigger role where he is top fragging in some maps but also consistently having a positive K/D come to the end of the game. He also has a nice assist and headshot rate as well which is just a little extra on top for dycha. He has averaged a 1.05 K/D with a .73 KPR and .70 DPR.
Other captain plays in order of preference: ropz, tabsen, frozen, syrson, Spinx, Woro2k (GPP), IM (GPP)
Value Plays
k1to: This is more reliant on BiG getting the sweep and at his price, I think it is worth the risk. k1to has shown flashes of top fragging ability, he just tends to underperform in some situations. Between him and tizian, I will almost always pick k1to. BiG struggled during the last LAN tournament, and thankfully for them, it's Online where they have been much better. GamerLegion is a decent team but they aren't tier 1 like BiG is. BiG should win and at k1to's price, I think we get the sweep and probably a positive K/D from him.
Brollan/mezii: This pick is dependent on the site you are on, for DraftKings, it is Brollan at 7,200$ he has been very solid for this team and has great potential to pop off at that price. He isn't a bad price on Fanduel but mezii at 8,800$ is crazy cheap. FD starting with a mistake in pricing as three of Fnatics players are 9k or less! Fnatic is the clear favorite in this match as Spirit has made a couple of roster moves. Brollan has taken a back seat since smooya joined but I think at his price he is still very viable. He still has a 1.03 K/D with a .68 KPR and a .66 DPR. As for Mezii he has played very well since joining Fnatic, he has a 1.10 K/D with a .69 KPR and a low .63 DPR.
Other value plays in order of preference: acoR, gade, Jl(GPP), Snappi, Patsi(GPP), Alex

Top Stacks / Team Picks
Ence: I think Ence is in the best position to sweep tomorrow. Ence has been on the rise and they have an all-around solid team and they are now getting a struggling Forze team, who just lost to Team Finest today. Ence should come into this match and dominate and get the win. Forze since losing Fl1t and Almazer just haven't been the same. As for the players go, I think all of them are in play. I'm not big on doto, but he has his maps every once in a while and plays very well. It's more of just relying on him getting the sweep and calling it a day from there. Spinx and dycha are my favorites. Hades is a solid AWPer is in a great spot more so on Draftkings. And lastly, Snappi is normally the cheapest Ence play I like but he is a good play today.
Predictions
BiG 2-0
Ence 2-0
Mouz 2-1
Fnatic 2-0
