Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. I have been focusing on the NHL and a little bit of MLB but as we get closer to the summer months, we could see some really good CSGO tournaments pop up which means great DFS tournaments to play! 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 CS:GO contests on DraftKings.
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis, and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Monday, May 17th, 2021 at 9:45 AM.
Be sure to also check out our awesome CS:GO Premium DFS Tools including our Lineup Optimizer, Research Station, Projections, and DFS Cheat Sheets! Feel free to follow me on Twitter @jorgepucks as I am happy to engage with readers and try to answer your questions. Good luck RotoBallers!
EPIC League CIS 2021
Best of 3
- Spirit vs. Gambit (-210)
- Trident vs. Virtus.Pro (-1200)
Captain Plays:
Jame has been the top player for VP for quite some time and he will be one to consider for the captain role in all formats. Over the last month of games played, Jame has produced a 1.33 K/D ratio while also generating a +76 K/D differential during that time span as well. Jame is sporting a .76 kill per round rate while having a low .57 death per round rate which shows how safe of a DFS player he actually is as he limits damage but is able to rack up kills.
sh1ro has been on a roll and he is a tough individual to stop. Over his last 20 maps that he has played, sh1ro has produced a 1.40 K/D ratio while also obtaining a +108 K/D differential during that timeframe. Sh1ro has a .74 kill per round rate and a .53 death per round rate and is one of the most reliable CSGO players in the world.
Other captain plays: YEKINDAR, mir
Value Plays:
Ax1le looks to be under-priced based on his form and would be the second main Gambit player to roster on this slate. Over his last 20 maps played, ax1le has produced a 1.16 K/D ratio while also producing a +59 K/D differential during that timespan. In these 20 maps, he has generated a .73 kill per round rate while having a .63 death per round rate and at his price point, he could be a solid value in all formats.
interz is a very cheap value play for Gambit if you're needing some large salary relief. Interz has generated a 1.04 K/D ratio over his last 20 maps while also having a +13 K/D differential during that span. He has hit 50+ DK points in back-to-back games and if he is able to do that again, he will certainly crush his value.
Other value plays: qikert, degster, sdy

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
Virtus.Pro has not been in the greatest form over the last month of games played but they draw the more favorable matchup on this two-game slate which makes them a top team sacking option, especially in tournament builds. Over the last three months of games played, VP has produced a team K/D ratio of 1.05 while managing to win 30 out of 54 total maps played.
Any Virtus.Pro stack starts with Jame. He is leading this team over the last month with a 1.33 K/D ratio and has been the top option for this team for quite some time. Outside of Jame, buster and YEKINDAR have been two other reliable players to stack as they both sport K/D ratios above 1 over the last three months of maps played. If needing a value play from this squad, Qikert could be one to consider as he is able to pop off for a solid outing every now and then.
Other Stacks: Gambit
