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 two-game slate that is a part of the CLUTCH Season 2 League. This league is a tad tricky with the teams tending to be a little more variant in nature so these tend to be better tournament types of slates. These matches are also "best of two" so we don't have any sweep bonuses to worry about and overall scores a good bit lower.
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 Monday, May 4th, 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!

Road to Rio (Best of 2)
- Bravos (-345) vs. Detona (+240)
- Keyd (-175) vs. W7M (+125)
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Pancc has been a very solid player for W7M over the last three months, posting a K/D ratio of 1.10 and having a kill per round rate of .73 while having a death per round rate of .67. In the 12 maps that he has played during CLUTCH Season 2, he has a +36 kill death differential and has a rating of 1.13.
He is one of the better overall players on W7M and with them labeled as underdogs, hopefully, he comes in at a little bit lower ownership than initially anticipated.
VSM looks to be one of the more consistent players on the slate. He is just $8,000 which is a solid price for one of the overall better players on this slate. Over the last three months, he has had a 1.11 K/D ratio while producing a .76 kill per round rate while having a .68 death per round rate.
He does bring massive upside, as he went +28 against Isurus a few weeks back so he is viable in both cash and tournament games.
Other Captain plays: real, tiburci0
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Lucaozy is a very cheap option for Detona on this slate at $6,400. Since the start of 2020, he is carrying a 1.08 K/D ratio and has a .70 kill per round rate. Over the last month, he has been in great form as he has had a 1.15 K/D ratio and a .76 kill per round rate while only having a .66 death per round rate. Lucaozy has some great upside and could be a great play in both cash and tournaments on this slate.
Raafa has been in great form recently as he has posted a K/D ratio of 1.15 over the last six maps that he has played. Over the last three months, he has had a 1.06 K/D ratio and a kill per round rate of .66 while having a death per round rate of .63. He is just $5,000 and is the cheapest member of this W7M squad on this slate so if you are looking for great salary relief or even a cheap captain play to spend up elsewhere.
Other value plays: skullz

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
Detona looks to have a favorable matchup against Bravos on this slate. Bravos has yet to win a game so far in the CLUTCH Season 2 as they are 0-4-2 and have a -26 round differential which is the third-worst in the league.
Detona is 1-3-2 and has a +13 round differential so they look to be in a good spot today. Since the beginning of 2020, they have a team K/D ratio of 1.03 with three of their members having above a 1 K/D ratio.
Tiburci0 leads the group with a 1.17 K/D ratio over that span and is viable for captain consideration along with VSM. Lucaozy is the value play from this squad to focus on, especially with his recent form and price point for this slate.
W7M has been the top team in CLUTCH Season 2 so far as they are 4-0-2 in 6 total maps played. They have won five straight maps against Keyd and are carrying a 1.06 team K/D ratio over the last month as well as the last three months.
Over the last six maps, W7M has a +53 round differential which tells us they are doing a great job on their own map choices while also keeping up with other teams on their map choice. All five of their players have an above 1 rating during this event which means that they are all in good form.
Raafa leads the group with a 1.15 K/D ratio over their last 6 maps while real, Ablej, and skullz all carry a 1.05 K/D ratio. Pancc has had a 1.02 K/D ratio but should not be overlooked as he has carried a 1.10 K/D ratio over the last three months.
