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 early morning slate on DraftKings that involves teams from the Nine to Five Tournament. The best news is that we are finally back to a best-of-three format and we have a nice little slate of games to choose from!
Today I'll be bringing you my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS lineup picks, analysis and advice for eSports DFS contests on DraftKings for Tuesday, July 14th, 2020 at 3:00 AM.

CS:GO DFS Captain Considerations
KEi is coming off of a monster effort from yesterday’s slate as he went for 144 DK points in the captain spot. He has been showing great form as he has produced a 1.25 K/D ratio over the last 21 maps played and has the largest kill share on the team.
In addition, he has had a dominant .82 kill per round rate while having a .65 death per round rate which is a very solid differential to have each round. KEi is sitting with the $8,000 price tag which is a great value for the upside he brings and he should be one of the more popular captain plays in all formats.
Sh1ro is the highest-priced player on the slate but he can be worth every penny that you spend on him based on his upside. Over the last 34 maps played, he has produced a 1.30 K/D ratio while having a +155 K/D differential. He and Ax1Le really contribute to the majority of the teams' overall kill share which really shows how the success of this team depends on their two stars.
Sh1ro has a very strong .73 kill per round rate but what makes him an even better play is his .56 death per round rate. Out of all of the players on this slate, there might not be one that has a higher ceiling than Sh1ro which makes him a really fine captain play in your tournament lineups.
Other captain plays: Anarkez, fr0slev, Thomas
CS:GO DFS Value Plays
Ax1Le is sitting right at $7,000 which is a great price for how well he has been playing. Over the last month, he has played 22 maps and has accrued a 1.22 K/D ratio over that span. He has had a .77 kill per round rate while having a .63 death per round rate which is very solid especially for his price tag on this slate. He is second overall on the Gambit Youngsters squad from a K/D ratio perspective as well as overall kills so he does have kill upside. If you’re looking for a player to pair with Sh1ro, he would be the first guy to plug into your lineup.
CRUC1AL is another great value play since he is right at the $7,000 price point. He is a top performer for Endpoint and is second on his squad with a 1.10 K/D ratio. He is also second on total kill share over the last month and has a +86 K/D differential which is great for his salary range.
CRUC1AL has a .71 kill per round rate while having a .65 death per round rate so he does have kill upside but can die just as much. With it being a tough match against AA, he could be a good tournament piece for your lineup if looking to get exposure to Endpoint.
Other value plays: Kylar, Byali, nafany, Markos

Top CS:GO DFS Stacks
AVEZ looks to be in the best matchup from an overall team stacking standpoint. They have won four out of their last five games and face a Hard Legion squad who have lost three straight matches. Avez has the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven playable tournament maps so that is something to note. AVEZ has looked really strong over the last 21 maps played as they have gone 15-6 while accumulating a 1.13 team K/D ratio. Hard Legion has been trending downward over their last month of games as they have gone 18-24 over their last 42 maps played while they have had a .96 team K/D ratio.
The same usual suspects are in play for an AVEZ stack. KEi leads this team with a 1.25 K/D ratio and is at a solid price point so he will be a popular play from this team. Byali, Markos, and Kylar are all priced down and are all viable stacking options. Markos and Kylar are below the 7k threshold while Byali sits in the mid 7k range so Byali could possibly get overlooked due to his price being a little more expensive.
Gambit Youngsters look like a solid stack on this slate. While they are only winners of two of their last five games played, their history against Syman really stands out. They are a perfect 8-0 against them dating back to last year. Gambit Youngsters also look to have the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on four of the seven playable tournament maps. From a recent form standpoint, these squads look pretty even. GY has gone 17-17 over the last 34 maps played and produced a 1.03 K/D ratio while Syman has gone 19-14 with a 1 K/D ratio.
A Gambit Youngsters squad always starts with Sh1ro. He is one of the more dominant players in all of CS:GO and has been playing really well with his 1.30 K/D ratio over the last 34 maps. Outside of him, Ax1Le is the other dominant player from this squad. Ax1Le has had a 1.22 K/D ratio over the last month of games played and is relatively cheap for his price point. Nafany and interz are other players to consider but just know they won’t give you the upside as Sh1ro and Ax1Le will.
Other Top Stacks/ Teams: Endpoint, Secret
