Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (5/12/20) - DraftKings Daily Fantasy

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 for your GPP and cash game CSGO contests on Draftkings and FanDuel. 

We have a four-game main slate on DraftKings that is a part of the ESL One: Road to Rio qualifier. This has been an awesome tournament so far and has provided us with some great, competitive matches. We have a number of really good teams in action today and some really closely projected matches which should make for an awesome GPP slate.

Today I'll be bringing you my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS advice, analysis, and lineup picks for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings and FanDuel for Tuesday, May 12th, 2020 at 10:30 PM. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @jorgepucks as I am happy to engage with readers and try to answer your questions!

Road to Rio (Best of 3)

  • Vitality (-260) vs. GODSENT (+185)
  • Fnatic (-550) vs. Movistar Riders (+330)
  • North (+130) vs. Heretics (-185)
  • ENCE (-220) vs. Copenhagen (+155)

 

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations

Zyw0o is the most expensive player on DK at $10,400 while he is the second-most expensive player on FD at $12,100. He carries big-time upside but can still be very volatile which makes him more of a gpp play on this slate due to his price point. He is averaging 55 DK points per game and has gone for 80+ DK points in two of his last five games. Over the last month, Zyw0o has carried a 1.38 K/D ratio and has a .82 kill per round rate while having a .60 death per round rate. Over his last 17 maps played, he has finished 88.2% of those with a 1+ rating so he has been in great form as well. He has 7 career maps played against GODSENT and has a career K/D ratio of 1.22 against them. 

Allu is intriguing since he is $8,600 on DK which makes him a great value play for the captain spot. On FD, he is $11,900 which is a little more expensive when comparing the two sites and their pricing structure. Allu is averaging 50.8 DK points per game and has scored 80+ DK points in three of his last six games. Over the last 23 maps played, he has had a 1.31 K/D ratio and has a .77 kill per round rate while having a .59 death per round rate. Over that same stretch of games, he has had 78.3% of those maps end with a 1+ rating.

Other captain plays: Brollan, Maka

 

CS:GO DFS Value Plays

JW is $6,800 on DK and this is an extremely cheap price point for someone who has scored 50+ DK points in six of his last seven matches.  He is priced up over on FD at $10,800 which is a little too high for my liking so he makes for a great value play on DK. He has had a 1.02 K/D ratio over the last 24 maps played while having a .68 kill per round rate. He is viable for both cash and tournament lineups and makes for one of the better overall plays on the slate on DK. 

Sergej is $7,000 on DK and is $9,600 on FD and is a viable higher-end value candidate for this slate. On DK, he has produced 50+ DK points in four of his last five games and he is only averaging 44.7 DK points per game so that tells us he is in really good form. He has a 1.03 K/D ratio over the last 23 games and a 61.1% headshot percentage over the same timeframe. For me, he is a better value on FD due to price but is still a viable tournament option over on DK.

Other value plays:RpK, kioShiMa, Lucky

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks 

ENCE has been in really good form as of late as they have won four of their last five matches while Copenhagen has won two of their last five games. They are the Vegas favorites in this matchup and over the last month, they have produced a team K/D ratio of 1.04 while Copenhagen has had a .99 team K/D ratio over the same time frame. Allu has been the main key player for this ENCE team as he has produced a 1.31 K/D ratio over the last 23 maps played. If you stack ENCE, he needs to be a part of that stack. Sergej has been the second-best ENCE player as he has produced a 1.03 K/D ratio over the last 23 maps as well. Aerial and suNny would be the other value pieces to consider but this would be more of a two-man stack to roll out on this slate. 

Fnatic is the largest favorite on this slate and is the higher-ranked team when compared to Movistar Riders. They have won two of their last five games while Movistar Riders has won four of their last five games but most of those wins have come from lesser skilled teams. Fnatic has accrued a team K/D ratio of 1.04 over the last month while Movistar Riders have had a team K/D ratio of .94 so the edge goes to Fnatic. Over the last month, Fnatic has had three of its players have above a 1 K/D ratio. Brollan has been the most dominant player with a 1.19 K/D ratio while flusha has had a 1.11  ratio. JW has had a 1.04 K/D ratio and serves as the best value play for this squad.

Other stacks/ teams: Vitality, Heretics
