Welcome back RotoBallers to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have to admit, I am having a ton of fun playing and covering eSports DFS at RotoBaller! As always, I will do my best to give you the stats and info you need to build the best lineups possible.
We have only a two-game slate that is a part of the ESL One: Road to Rio qualifier. We continue to see DraftKings hunt down some different leagues in an attempt to keep posting CS:GO slates every day. Some of these teams will be familiar to you from earlier slates this month, while others still may not be yet.
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Monday, April 27th, 2020 at 5:15 PM. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @rdr1634 as I am happy to engage with readers and try to answer your questions!
CLUTCH Season 2 (Best Of 2 Format)
- Alma +225 vs. Keyd -300
- W7M -265 vs. Detona +200
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Piriaz1n is the highest-priced player on the slate at $9,200. Over his last 15 maps played, he has had a 1.04 K/D ratio and a .73 kill per round rate. He has an excellent headshot percentage of 54.6% over the last four months so he is a headhunter when it comes to shooting down his opponents.
Piriaz1n looks to be an overall solid play and is viable in the captain spot but he is a tad risky in tournaments due to his lack of extreme upside. He is very consistent as he has registered 80% of his 15 maps played with a +1 rating so he would be more viable in cash games.
VSM has been a very strong player over the last four months. Since the start of 2020, he has had a 1.16 K/D ratio while having a .78 kill per round rate and a .68 death per round rate. His average round rating during that timespan is 1.19 which well above the 1.00 rating that indicates an average performance.
With Detona as the large underdog against W7M, they will need a strong outing from VSM if they want to do well. He stands as a great tournament one-off if looking to get a piece from Detona due to his upside and his 1.30 K/D ratio against W7M over the last six maps that he has faced them on.
AbleJ has gotten off to a great start accumulating a 1.18 K/D ratio over a 10 map stretch that he has played so far during the CLUTCH season. He has a .74 kill per round rating while only having a .62 death per round rating and has a 52% headshot percentage over the same stretch as well.
Over the last four months, his K/D ratio sits at 1.09 which is very solid and it is good to see that he is in great form right now.
Other captain plays: Real (Great value)
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Tifa is carrying a 1.02 K/D ratio in his last 15 maps played and is only $6,200 on this slate. While he doesn’t provide the best upside, he sits around .70 kills per game rate while having a .68 death per round rate.
Over the 15 maps played, 53.3% of them have finished with a 1+ rating so consider him a riskier value play just due to the lower consistency of going plus on his rating.
Real is only $6,000 on this slate but has been quite impressive in the 10 maps that he has played during CLUTCH Season 2. He has produced a 1.28 K/D ratio over that timeframe and has a headshot percentage of 50.2%. He has a .81 kill per round rate while keeping his death per round rate down to .63 which is a nice differential.
He has managed to go plus in every single matchup so far so Real makes for a nice cash and tournament play due to his recent form and price.
Other value plays: tiburci0

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
Keyd is coming into this game as winners of four of their last five games and split the head-to-head series with Alma 3-3. They are 1-0-4 in Group A play of CLUTCH Season 2 while Alma is 0-2-3 and still looking for their first win.
Over the last month, they have had a team K/D ratio of 1.23 while Alma has accumulated a K/D ratio of 1.03 over the same time span and number of maps played. In that same stretch, Keyd has had four of their players go plus in the K/D differential category which tells us they are in really good form as of right now.
Mawth leads the way with a 1.54 K/D rate over the last four maps played while tifa and jntzika both had above a 1.20 K/D rate. Piriaz1n had a 1.17 K/D rate over the same stretch so all four players are viable for your Keyd stacks.
W7M is sitting atop of the Group A leaderboard as they are 3-2-0 in the five matches they have played so far in CLUTCH Season 2. They have the largest round differential margin of +48 and have a team K/D ratio of 1.06 over the last four months.
Detona has a team K/D ratio of 1.04 over the last four months and also has the edge on the career head-to-head wins against W7M with a record of 15-12-3. This should be a closer game and I would not be surprised if they split this 2 game match 1-1. From the W7M side of things, real and ableJ are the main targets to look at due to their pricing and form that they have been in.
From the Detona side, VSM and tiburci0 are both viable targets and form a nice mini-stack if taking the underdogs. With it being the best of two games, it could be a viable tournament strategy to stack both sides of this game and hope for a close competitive game.
