Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Fnatic and BiG ended up facing off this morning in a very fast Best of 5 match as Fnatic swept BiG and continue the dominance they are bringing to the table. They might be the next big thing in CSGO, now we get Fnatic once again in an even easier matchup against sAw tomorrow morning, as well as that we have Forze taking on K23.

DreamHack Open Novemeber 2021
Best of 3
- Fnatic (-650) vs. sAw (+400)
- K23(+110) vs. Forze (-145)
Captain Plays
mezii: Mezii? Smooya? Brollan? Who is going to top frag? Who knows all three of these guys are playing great right now, and they seem to switch who gets to be the best each game. This team is so well-rounded that it's a coin flip on who will do the best. So making multiple lineups with each of these guys at captain could be a smart route to go. I chose mezii as he opens the salary remaining salary more than brollan or smooya by quite a bit. Mezii lit it up during the dreamhack going +7, +6, +17, +11, and +22 during all those games. He is only 8k and is a fantastic option in a game where Fnatic should dominate.
Kensi: If not zorte, then KENSI is a must-have. He has been playing out of his mind lately and his last month of play has been fantastic. He has held a 1.11 K/D with a .71 KPR and a .64 DPR. Forze has been playing well coming in fourth in the DreamHack open tournament, They had a big win over Ence and Spirit and came up just short in their losses against BiG and MADLions. K23 has been playing well but has been on a bit of a layoff lately. Forze is warm and it might take K23 some time to knock some of the rust off. KENSI and zorte are critical parts of a Forze stack if that's the route you choose to go and with KENSI being the cheaper of the two I like the discount on him.
Other captain plays in order of preference: Brollan, Smooya, zorte, N0rb3r7(GPP)
Value Plays
Alex: With how Fnatic has been playing, Fnatic should come into this match and demolish SAW. Alex being 5,800$ for a team that should sweep is insane value. Is he going to be chalky? Yes, more than likely he will but on a slate with two favorites that will both more than likely sweep getting Alex so cheap, anywhere from 50-70 points will be perfect for Alex which I think is very doable. Over the last month of play, Alex is averaging a 1.03 K/D with a .66 KPR and a .65 DPR.
fame: On the K23 side of things, we have fame at 6,200$. Now I do want to say Xsepower is also very cheap at 6,800$ and if you have the extra salary get to him, but if not then fame has been playing very well and has consistently been one of the top 3 fraggers on the team in wins and losses. Since mou and Adren left a couple of months ago, it looks like fame has stepped up a lot and if K23 plans on keeping things close, I think fame plays an important part in that. He has a positive K/D differential in 6 of his last 7 games and is holding a 1.10 K/D with a .70 KPR and a .65 DPR.
Other value plays in order of preference: xsepower, Krimz, Norwi, Jerry, JUST(GPP), MUTIRIS(PUNT)

Top Stacks / Team Picks
Fnatic: Since smooya has joined, Fnatic has yet to lose a game and has only lost 2 maps total out of 19 they have played together. These were all against much better teams than sAw is. The trio of Brollan, Smooya, and Mezii has been lethal and some of the best roster moves I have seen this year. Krimz looked much better in their Grand Final today against BiG, but I'm still hesitant to play him. Alex has played well over the last month and is one of the best value plays on the board. Overall I don't see this Fnatic team struggling too much tomorrow and we should see a quick sweep.
Predictions
Fnatic 2-0
Forze 2-0
