Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks.

Captain Plays
Sh1ro leads this Gambit squad over the last month and while he will be very costly, he is worth the salary if you are able to squeeze in enough value around him. When looking at his last 38 maps played, he has produced a 1.38 K/D ratio while also producing a .72 kill per round rate and a low .52 death per round rate. He has been the definition of consistency as he has gone plus in 15 straight maps and has had a 1.21 map rating during this span.
blameF still comes in under the 9k range which makes him a cheaper captain option for your builds. He has produced a 1.23 K/D ratio over the last 21 maps played and has produced a .73 kill per round rate while having a .60 death per round rate. BlameF has fared well against VP before as he has produced a 1.37 K/D ratio against them in three maps played when looking back at his last six months.
Other captain plays in order of preference: ropz, huNter-, Ax1Le, Jame
Value Plays
tabseN is a BIG player to consider in your tournament builds as he has been in solid form over the last month with a 1.04 K/D ratio and has gone plus in three out of his last five matches that he has played. TabseN is an aggressive player as he has a .73 kill per round rate but also has a high propensity to die as he has a .71 death per round rate. TabseN is one to consider in tournament builds but should be excluded from cash game builds just because when he has an off match, it could really sink your lineup with his high death per round rate.
poizon is a great value play on this slate and makes for a great stacking piece for Complexity as well. When looking at his last 22 maps played, poizon has produced a 1.04 K/D ratio and has a .67 kill per round rate while having a death per round rate of .64. What is encouraging about Poizon is that he has gone even or plus in six out of the last seven matches that he has played which is ideal for his price tag on this slate.
Other value plays in order of preference: acoR, nexa, jks, Bymas, k1to

Top Stacks / Team Picks
Complexity is a squad that could be a solid stacking on this four-game slate. They come in as a slight favorite over Virtus.Pro but what is even more enticing about them is that they are in much better form when compared to VP. Complexity has won four out of the last six matches that they have played. When looking at their last month's worth of games played, Complexity has gone 12-9 with a 1.03 K/D ratio while VP has only gone 4-11 with a .93 K/D ratio so they are clearly heads and shoulders from a form standpoint when compared to VP. Complexity has four primary targets to focus on from a stacking perspective.
BlameF and K0nfig are the top two players on this squad as they have above a 1.20+ K/D ratio over their 21 maps played so getting one of them into your lineups would be a must if stacking this squad. If you're looking for value pieces, jks and poizon are the two cheaper options to focus on with poizon being the better overall value.
Other Stacks: mousesports, Gambit
