DreamHack Masters Series
Best of 3
- Fnatic (-120) vs. MAD (-110)
- Vitality (-165) vs. NiP (+125)
- G2 vs. BIG
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Zyw0o is the highest-priced player on the slate as he is slated at $10,200 which is a steeper price tag than what we have seen him have over the past couple of weeks. Zyw0o is coming off of some monster performances as he has averaged 103 DK points over his last two matches.
Over the last month, he has had a 1.39 K/D ratio while having a .87 kill per round rate. Zyw0o has seen a good amount of NiP since the beginning of 2020 as he has accumulated a K/D ratio of 1.30 over a 16 map span. If you are able to find the right pieces, he makes a great captain play on this slate.
kennyS is just $8,200 but that is moderately affordable for someone who averages 67.7 DK points per game (highest average on the slate). While kennyS has only had a 1.01 K/D ratio over the last month, he has continued to score well as he has produced 60+ DK points in seven of his last eight games played.
BIG has been performing well lately so this will be a tough challenge for kennyS and company but they will need him to do well in order for them to come out as the winners in this matchup. He is a much better tournament option on this slate due to the overall matchup.
Other captain plays: huNter-, tabseN, nexa
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
acoR has led this MAD Lions team in K/D ratio over the last month with a 1.17 ratio. His price tag is extremely low at $6,200 and should be looked at in all formats. He has hit 50+ DK points in four of his last six matches (Bo3 matches) which shows the consistency and upside that he brings to your lineups.
MAD has been very successful behind his sniping skills as they have won 77.6% of rounds in which he achieved the first kill with his primary weapon being the awp. He really opens up salary for your roster construction and is one of the overall better value plays on the slate.
Shox has been a nice pairing with Zyw0o for Vitality stacks and he is viable once again with his price point being at $6,800 for this slate. He is averaging 47.2 DK points per game but has eclipsed that number in four out of his last five games played.
Over the last 30 games played, he has had a 1.14 K/D ratio with a .68 kill per round rate which is very solid for his price range. He fits in nicely if you are looking for a tournament play from Vitality but could see increased ownership once the game log watchers notice his last two games against NiP (81.5 and 96.5 DK points).
Other value plays: sjuush, plopski, syrsoN, REZ

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
MAD comes into this matchup as the lower-ranked team but also have a win against Fnatic within the last 30 days. Over the last three months of maps played, they have generated a 30-12 record while having a 1.08 team K/D ratio.
Fnatic has gone 37-36 over their last three months of games played while having a 1 K/D ratio during that timespan. MAD has really been rolling over the last 17 matches played as they have swept opponents 2-0 58% of the time which is a very high number. This tells us they are maximizing on winning their map pick while being able to counter the map selection of the opponent and take that game as well.
acoR leads the team with a 1.17 K/D ratio over the last month while Bubzkji has been right behind him with a 1.15 ratio. Sjuush has carried a 1.12 and roeJ has had a 1.01. These would be the main four MAD players to focus on with your lines with Bubzkji and sjuush being the main two to start with and building out from there.
Vitality has been playing extremely well as they have won four straight matches and face NiP who they just beat several days ago by a score of 2-1. They own the head-to-head record of 11-6 against NiP and have won 34% of their last 23 matches played with a 2-0 record.
Vitality has the map edge as they have a higher winning percentage over the last three months on five out of seven maps when compared to NiP. They will surely use their ban pick on Train which is one of the two maps that NiP is better at than Vitality. This gives Vitality the map edge which makes me like them even more.
Zyw0o is the main guy to build around when looking at Vitality. His 1.39 K/D ratio over the last month truly stands out and it is hard to not look his way. Shox has been a viable mini stack option as he has had a 1.14 K/D ratio over the last month as well.
Other stacks/teams: G2/ BIG (Very torn on this so I am viewing it as a toss-up. BIG has been rolling over the last month going 19-10 with a team K/D ratio of 1.12 while G2 is ranked #2 and has won three of their last five games)
