Home Sweet Home Cup 2

  • Gambit Youngsters vs. Copenhagen Flames
  • SKADE vs. Endpoint

 

DFS Captain Considerations

Sh1ro is the best player on this slate and with him being underpriced, it makes him too hard to pass up as a captain spot candidate. He has a career K/D ratio of 1.39 and over the last four months, his K/D ratio has been up to 1.44 so he is in very good form as of late.

In his career against Copenhagen, he has 4 maps played against them and carries a 1.55 K/D ratio so lock him into your lineups and move on!

Rainwaker is a talented player but coming off of his last game, he will not see much ownership. He is a risky captain pick but is carrying a 1.15 K/D ratio since the beginning of 2020 so he just had an off game (like the rest of his team).

For SKADE to compete and win this game, they will need the most out of Rainwaker. He is a big field GPP tournament target because of potential low ownership, but just remember he is a risky option.

 

DFS Value Plays

Interz is the cheapest GY player in the player pool but doesn’t deserve to be priced down that low. He is only $5,600 and has a K/D ratio of 1.04 since the start of the 2020 season. He has a career K/D ratio so he provides a solid floor especially if needing some salary relief on this slate.

While he doesn’t offer the best upside on this team, he is a good choice for a value player for both cash and tournament lineups. 

Robiin was a great value play on Wednesday and still looks to be a great one on this slate as well. He is right at 6k on DK and is carrying a 1.01 K/D ratio since the start of 2020. While he might not have the highest ceiling on his team, he does a good job of limiting his death number to where he won’t fully sink your lineup.

He seems to be a safer cash value play than tournament play but is still tournament viable since it’s only a two-game slate.

 

Top DFS Stacks 

Gambit Youngsters looked really strong against Endpoint and now get a Copenhagen Flames squad who have lost four out of their last five matches. In the last 75 maps that Copenhagen has played, they have gone 44-0-31 while Gambit Youngsters have gone 55-0-34 in their last 85 maps played.

GY has a team K/D ratio of 1.09 since the start of 2020 while Copenhagen has a team K/D ratio of 1.06 so GY has a slight edge as a team from that standpoint. 

Sh1ro must be included in any GY stack as he is the most dominant player on this team. Ax1le is a great pairing as he has a 1.13 K/D ratio over the last four months and is reasonably priced at 8k for the upside that he presents. I have a feeling nafany could be a chalky pick, especially if people just game log watch but I am ok with fading this play.

He has a .93 K/D ratio over the last four months and only carries a career .94 K/D ratio. The one upside he does have is a really good 53.2% career headshot percentage but is still too risky for his high price tag. Interz is a better overall play due to his consistent play and reasonable DK price.

Endpoint should have a close contest with SKADE as they are both ranked in the top 40 for CSGO. Both squads have won three out of their last five games so both enter this matchup in good form. They both have team K/D ratios of 1.01 so this should just come down to the overall composition of the teams.

From top to bottom, the edge goes to Endpoint who has four out of their five players with K/D ratios above 1 while SKADE has the best single K/D ratio player in Rainwaker.

Thomas and CRUC1AL are the top two candidates to start a stack with from this Endpoint squad. The both have K/D ratios above 1.05 over the last four months and are moderately priced. Surreal and Robiin are your cheaper options with Robiin being the better play based on price and the floor that he presents.
