CS:GO SlateOverview

CS:GO Game#1: Fnatic (+110) vs BIG (-150)

The first matchup of the CS:GO slate sees BIG taking on Fnatic in the battle of two heavyweights. Both teams come in having won 4 of their past 5, with BIG being on fire since DreamHack. FNC bans Vertigo first 59% of the time while BIG bans Train first at a 100% rate. FNC is likely going to select Inferno or Overpass while BIG could turn to Nuke or Mirage, where they have FNC severely outmatched with 78% and 68% winning percentages compared to FNC’s 36% and 38%, respectively. As good as FNC can be, BIG is arguably the top team in the world right now and boasts the deepest lineup out of all professional teams out there. The first pricing error of the slate can be found in this series, where we can play tabseN for a mere $6,800; he’s rocking a 1.15 K/D and 0.75 kills per round in the last month and will be a lock in the majority of my lineups.

Top Plays: syrsoN($8,800), tabseN ($6,800), XANTERES ($7,800), tiziaN ($6,000)

CS:GO Game #2: G2 (-188) vs Ence (+137)

The second matchup of the CS:GO slate has my favorite target, G2, taking on Ence. The former did drop a map to Movistar yesterday, but looked dominant throughout the series; they’re in better form than Ence and have beat them previously this month. Despite a shocking 2-0 sweep of FaZe yesterday, Ence got the series of a lifetime from xseveN, but had the rest of team go a combined -19; that won’t fly versus G2. Ence bans Vertigo first 95% of the time while G2 bans Overpass at an 85% rate. Ence will probably turn to Train with their first pick while G2 will counter with one of Inferno or Mirage, with Dust2 likely to be leftover. There are some serious pricing errors to take advantage of on this slate, as mentioned with tabseN above, and another one of them is right here with kennyS at $6,800; a player that’s usually in the 8k-9k price range, he has as high of a ceiling as anyone on the slate.

Top Plays: huNter- ($8,400), kennyS ($6,800), nexa ($7,600)

CS:GO Game#3: Movistar Riders (+333) vs FaZe (-500)

The third matchup of the CS:GO slate sees a heavy favorite, FaZe, taking on Movistar. FaZe looked terrible yesterday in a 2-0 loss to Ence and really shocked me when they picked Dust2 over Mirage, but I find myself going right back to them here today. Movistar bans Dust2 first 100% of the time while FaZe bans Vertigo first at a 74% rate so we’re unlikely to see either map here. Movistar loves to choose Inferno as their first pick, which they do 39% of the time and they do have a better winning percentage there than FaZe, who are going to counter the Inferno pick by Movistar with Mirage. As much as we were furious to see them bring down our lineups yesterday, FaZe has elite targets up and down their lineup.

Top Plays:NiKo ($9,200), broky ($8,000), rain ($6,200)

CS:GO Game#4: GenG (+200) vs Evil Geniuses (-275)

The last matchup of the CS:GO slate has some great options for the late push we need from our lineups. EG comes in as the heavy favorite, having beaten GenG earlier this month and have won 4 of their last 5, climbing to the #8 rank in the world. Both GenG and EG typically ban Overpass first so we’re likely going to see EG use their ban on Mirage where they rarely play. GenG is probably going to select Train or Dust2 with their pick, whereas EG will likely counter with Nuke or Inferno. Either way, I think EG sweeps here, led by CeRq, who has been tearing it up over the past month: 1.26 K/D and 0.77 kills per round; Ethan and Brehze have also been playing great as of late, with the former going +5 on 87-82 in his last 5 maps played and the latter going +23 on 104-81 over his last 5 maps played.

Top Plays: CeRq($8,200), Brehze ($7,400), Ethan ($6,600)
