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 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 24th, 2021 at 5:30 PM.

Best of 3
- O PLANO vs. FURIA (-140)
- Liquid (-210) vs. EXTREMUM
Captain Plays:
EliGE carries a high price tag but has great upside which is why he should be considered for the captain spot on this slate. He is one of a small handful of players that has over a 100+ point ceiling on DK and with some solid value plays on this slate, you can squeeze him in at his high salary. EliGE has been in solid form over the last month of games played as he has a 1.09 K/D ratio while also having a .75 kill per round rate.
KSCERATO has been the best FURIA player for quite some time and is one of the more talented players on this slate. While he hasn't been in the best form as of late, he is still someone that could be viewed as a solid captain option on this two-game slate. Over the last 24 maps played, KSCERATO has produced a 1.08 K/D ratio and has accrued a +35 K/D differential during that span.
Other captain plays in order of preference: NAF, yuurih, BnTeT
Value Plays:
HEN1 is a former member of FURIA and with him priced in the low 7k range, he makes for a great all-around play against his former team. Just a few days ago, HEN1 produced a +17 K/D differential against FURIA and he looks to be in great form as he leads the O PLANO squad with a 1.30 K/D ratio while having a .71 kill per round rate and a very low .55 death per round rate. HEN1 might be the best play on the slate and makes for a cheap captain play that allows you to allocate salary elsewhere for your lineup.
kNgV- is another cheaper option from O PLANO that could easily pay off. Over the last month of games played, kNgV- has garnered a 1.01 K/D ratio and has a .69 kill per round rate while having a .69 death per round rate. He has faced off against FURIA plenty of times over the last year and has been solid against them as he has a 1.06 K/D ratio over 10 total map played. At just $5,200, he could certainly hit and exceed value should O PLANO take care of business against FURIA.
Other value plays in order of preference: leo_drk, Gratisfaction, Grim, Stewie2k, arT

Top Stacks/ Team Picks:
O PLANO is an underdog against FURIA but they just convincingly swept this FURIA team three days ago and looks primed to do it again. FURIA comes limping into this matchup as they have lost three of their last five matches played and has a team K/D ratio of .94 over their last months worth of games played while O PLANO has won three of their last five matches and is sporting a 1.08 team K/D ratio over their last 16 maps played.
While FURIA does have a higher winning percentage on six of the seven playable maps, let's ride the hot hand of O PLANO which could come in with lower ownership since they are the underdogs. The main guys to focus on for an O PLANO three-man stack would be HEN1, vsm, and leo_drk who all carry a K/D ratio of 1.10+ and are all very reasonably priced. If you're needing more salary relief, you could also consider kNgV- who is another cheap option that has above a 1 K/D ratio over the last month of games played.
Other Stacks: Liquid
