CS:GO SlateOverview
CS:GO Matchup#1: lvlUP (+125) vs Izako Bears (-175)
The first matchupon the CS:GO slate sees the second encounter between lvlUP and Izako in thepast month, where the former upset the latter 2-1. Izako bans Mirage first at an86% rate while lvlUP bans Overpass first 100% of the time, so can successfullyeliminate the possibility of seeing those maps here. Izako should turn toVertigo with their first selection, which they do 57% of the time and boast thesuperior winning percentage in five maps played to lvlUP’s two, while lvlUP shouldcounter with Inferno; they typically select Nuke first, but Izako does have a50% win rate there and tend to choose it as one of their maps, so it’s likelylvlUP goes with Inferno, where they have a 60% win rate to Izako’s 25%. Izakowill then likely ban Dust2 with lvlUP rounding out the banning phase byeliminating Train, leaving Nuke as the map leftover. DiMKE leads the charge forthe underdog here with a 1.11 K/D and 0.71 kills per round in the last month,and will be relied upon heavily to increase his kill share percentage giventhat they’ll be playing with stand-in sarenii ($5,200) over soLo. On theflipside, siuhy is the main target for an Izako Bears squad looking to avenge theirlast loss to UP; he has a 1.07 K/D and 0.73 kills per round in the past monthand should be a big contributor for CS:GO DFS purposes if they win here today,but I’ll side with the ‘dog for a repeat performance in a 2-1 win.
Top Plays(UP): DiMKE ($8,600), Impulse ($7,600), dEE ($6,800)
Top Plays(IB): siuhy ($9,000), Szejn ($7,800), EXUS ($7,000)
CS:GO Matchup#2: Singularity (-225) vs GRAFICIARZE (+162)
While Singularitywas a big flop on yesterday’s CS:GO slate, you need to have short-term memoryin DFS and this is a prime example of just that; Singularity is yet again in agreat spot to dominate their opponent and I’ll be going back to the well. Theyhold all the map advantages here and their opponent hasn’t played together inthe past month; don’t overthink the one outside of MME in large fieldtournaments. Celrate and nicoodoz have essentially switched positions in salaryon DK but remain the top targets in this one, while the latter is my topcaptain choice on the slate.
Top Plays: nicoodoz ($8,000), Celrate ($9,400), Remoy ($6,400)
