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 which can also be related to FanDuel contests as well.
We have a four-game main slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the BLAST Premier Spring 2020 series and the DreamHack Masters Series. The best news is are finally back to a best-of-three format!

BLAST Premier Spring 2020/ DreamHack Masters- (Best of 3)
- ORDER (-140) vs. Chiefs (EVEN)
- Mousesports vs. Astralis
- Beyond (+180) vs. Lucid Dream (-250)
- Vitality vs. Dignitas
CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
Zyw0o is under $9,000 which always catches my eye. He is averaging 60.6 DK points per game and has had a 1.24 K/D ratio over the last 23 maps played. Zyw0o can have monster performances and he had a strong outing against Dignitas in late April as he put up 49 kills with only 31 deaths totaling 83.5 DK points. He is the best stand-alone player on this slate and should be able to replicate an 80 point performance against Dignitas.
aliStair is a dominant player on the ORDER squad. He has carried a 1.31 K/D ratio since the beginning of the 2020 year and his price point is just too good to ignore at just $7,200. He is averaging 59.7 DK points per game and has averaged a 1.30 K/D ratio against the Chiefs in nine maps against them this year. He offers salary savings and upside which means he is one of the more complete plays on the slate.
Other captain plays: ropz, PTC, device
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Rickeh is in the upper-tier of the value range but he stands out as a great value play. DraftKings looks to have mispriced him as he has accrued a 1.23 K/D ratio since the beginning of the 2020 season and is averaging 53.4 DK points per game. In the nine matches against the Chiefs, he has had a 1.44 K/D ratio and a +61 K/D differential which is phenomenal. He really stands out in all formats and is a top play for me on this slate.
Cbbk is extremely underpriced and could be an overlooked gem for this squad. He has faced Beyond on six maps so far this year and has a 1.48 K/D ratio against them while posting a 1.10 so far this year. He has a .70 kill per round rate while having a .64 death per round rate. He is really priced down at $6,400 which excites me since he could be used in all formats and even be looked at as a captain play if looking for salary relief.
Other value plays: Shox, JohnOlsen, Woxic, USTILO, Valiance

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
ORDER has won four out of their last five games but the record that stands out to me is that they are 8-1 against the Chiefs since the beginning of 2020. Four of their players have carried an above 1.2 K/D ratio against the Chiefs this year over a nine map span which is an incredible feat which makes me only like ORDER even more. Rickeh and aliStair are the top two members to consider for your ORDER stacks as they both have had above 1.20 K/D ratios since the beginning of the 2020 season. Valiance and USTILO serve as good value plays if looking to complete a three-man ORDER stack.
Lucid Dream really piques my interest on this slate as they have dominated the career head-to-head matches against Beyond by a record of 11-5. What is really amazing is that they have won six straight maps against them this year with four of those wins with a +7 round differential or greater. Lucid Dream has a great chance of sweeping while also racking up points in the rounds not played category which makes them really interesting for tournaments.
Since the beginning of 2020, the team has posted a team K/D ratio of 1.07 over a 35 map stretch. The main three players that I have interest in are cbbk, PTC, and JohnOlsen. PTC is priced up but the real value lies in the mispricing in cbbk. He has a 1.10 K/D ratio and is just $6,400. JohnOlsen is priced the same and has a 1.08 ratio so he is another priced-down member of this squad that shouldn’t be overlooked!
Other stacks/teams: Vitality, Mousesports
