DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 (Best of 3)

- Natus Vincere (-200) vs. ENCE (+145)
- 100 Thieves (-140) vs. Cloud 9 (EVEN)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Allu is the highest-priced player on the slate as he checks-in at $10,000 on DK. He is averaging 57.8 DK points but carries a massive upside as he is coming off of a 135 DK point performance against Copenhagen. Over the last 21 maps played, allu has produced a 1.45 K/D ratio with a .82 kill per round rate while having only a .56 death per round rate. We saw Zyw0o have a solid outing against Navi yesterday so might as well go back to the well with a dominant player like allu.
oSee is extremely cheap on this slate and could even be thrown into the value category with his salary being $7,200. oSee has had a K/D ratio of 1.12 over the last month (20 games played) while having a .69 kill per round rate and a .62 death per round rate. He is more on the volatile end when it comes to the captain role but if you can get 65-70+ points out of him, he will turn out to be a really good value option for the captain role which opens up salary for the rest of your lineup.
Other captain plays: Zyw0o, floppy, S1mple
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Hampus is just $6,800 and is the newbie on NiP. He is an intriguing play due to the fact that he has not played with the NiP squad yet. Over the last month of games played, he has produced a 1.06 K/D ratio with a .74 kill per round rate. Over the same timeframe, he has played four matches against top 50 opponents and has generated a 1.25 rating during those matches. He is more of a tournament play on this slate but should be one that could go lower owned.
Motm is a Cloud 9 player that always catches my eyes for tournament lineups. He is $6,200 and carries a 1.06 K/D ratio over the last month. He has a .69 kill per round rate and a .65 death per round rate. He does carry upside for kills but he equally carries a high potential for dying quite a bit as well. Motm is more of a volatile tournament play and looks to be a good tournament play if involving him in a Cloud 9 stack.
Other value plays: Aerial, jkaem, Sonic

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
NiP comes into this matchup as winners of three of their last five games and carries a team K/D ratio of 1.05 over the last month. Vitality has lost two straight games and has a team K/D ratio of .96 over the same timespan so the better overall form goes to NiP. NiP has three players that have carried above a 1 K/D ratio over the last month. Nawwk leads the charge with a 1.10 while Lekr0 and twist are behind him with above 1 K/D ratios. NiP has a new player joining the fold in hampus and he is certainly viable as a lower owned value option.
ENCE is an underdog in this matchup but I think they could make this a competitive matchup and even pull out a win against Navi. ENCE has won four of their last five matches while Navi has only won two of their last five matches. Over the last 21 maps played, ENCE has generated a 1.09 K/D ratio and has won 66% of maps played during that span. Allu leads ENCE with a 1.45 K/D ratio over the last month and is the main guy to build your ENCE stacks around. SergeJ and Aerial are the other two ENCE players to really consider as they both hold a 1+ K/D ratio over the last month.
Other stacks/teams: Cloud 9
