DK optimal build is 3-3, not opposed to 2-2-2 on recentslates

FD optimal build is 3-2-1

CS:GO Stack Target #1:Astralis (-250)

Are you even surprised at this point? If you’ve been keeping up with the CS:GO content in the past week or so, you’ve seen Astralis as the featured stack in every article, and today is no different. Coming off a 2-0 sweep of North yesterday, AST faces off against G2, who has been playing some of the worst CS:GO that we’ve seen from them in a long time. Their form is terrible, Astralis’ is unreal, don’t get cute with it: lock and load the best team in the world again.

Top Stack: device($10,200 DK / $12,200 FD), Xyp9x ($7,600 DK / $10,800 FD), magisk ($8,600 DK /$11,500 FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #2: FURIA(-138)

In what should be a great match between two heavyweights, I’ll side with FURIA, who has been playing much better than Team Liquid over the past month. These two teams have played each other twice in the month of May, both times being in the Road to Rio, both times seeing FURIA win 2-0. TL won’t be able to handle FURIA’s Big 3 listed as the top stack. Lock them in on DK at some absurd prices.

Top Stack: KSCERATO ($8,200DK / $12,000 FD), yuurih ($7,400 DK / $11,900 FD), HEN1 ($7,000 DK / $11,700FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #3:North (-110)

After taking a map from a miserable G2 performance, I don’t see how Heroic can come out with the win here. G2 played beyond terribly yesterday and Heroic still couldn’t seal the deal. North won’t be making the same mistakes as G2, and although I think there’s a possibility for Heroic to steal a map, there’s no way aizy doesn’t carry his squad to victory.

Top Stack: aizy ($8,800 DK), MSL ($8,000DK), cajunb ($5,400 DK)

CS:GO Slate Notes

FD pricing is tough; you’ll have to get creative withsome value plays in order to fit the players listed here. Some top candidatesfor me so far are Twistzz ($9,500) and either VINI ($9,700) or arT ($9,900). Ilike the idea of playing Twistzz as a one off and playing AST at the team spotwith the other players listed here rounding out my builds.

On DK, FURIA’s pricing is insultingly low. Load up on the Top Stack with KSCERATO ($12,300) being an elite play in the captain spot.

CS:GO StackTarget #1: Astralis (-400)

We’re goingright back to the well with the #1 team in the world, Astralis. Just as wewrote up yesterday, North was a sneaky play versus G2 even if it was a 1%chance that they win, and they ultimately prevailed 2-1 versus G2. Today isanother day, Astralis is not G2, and North stands no chance. Lock and load.

Top Stack: device($10,200), Xyp9x ($7,200), magisk ($8,800)

CS:GO StackTarget #2: G2 (-300)

Our G2 pickyesterday failed after losing 2-1 to North but they still produced solidnumbers in the loss, specifically huNter- and kennyS. Jackz performed well forhis price tag also, with the only one that really struggled being nexa – shocker!I’m putting him in the top stack again today hoping for lower ownership afteryesterday’s dud. Again, same thing as yesterday, all 5 players are viable.Wherever you use Jackz ($6,800), hedge with Amanek ($5,800), although I doprefer the former.

Top Stack: huNter-($7,800), kennyS ($7,600), nexa ($7,400)

CS:GO StackTarget #3: FURIA (-225)

The third game on the slate has the most intrigue to it, but I’ll side with FURIA over MiBR. The former defeated the latter in their most recent matchup 2-0 when they played in the Road to Rio. I expect the top 3 players below to carry the squad being one of the best trios in the entire world, but it’s understandable if you feel the need to play arT ($5,600) should you absolutely need the savings, but his 0.9 KD over the last 3 months is uninspiring, to say the least; stick to the top stack if possible.

Top Stack: KSCERATO($9,400), yuurih ($8,000), HEN1 ($7,000)

CS:GO SlateNotes

If there is one game to hedge on this slate, it is the North American one: FURIA vs MiBR. If running limited lineups, I would stick to the 3 teams listed above as I really do like FURIA to beat MiBR. My favorite captains on DK are Xyp9x ($10,800) and HEN1 ($10,500) to fit the players I listed above. Xyp9x’s price is a crime on DK and will be in almost, if not all of my lineups.

Optimal stack on DK is 3-3

Optimal stack on FD is 3-2-1, one-off is preferable atthe team spot

CS:GO Stack Target #1: Astralis (-1400)

Wow, what a line. The #1 team in the world comes into this match versus Heroic as a whopping -1400 favorite – safe to say we won’t be putting money on the moneyline in this one. Astralis should not only sweep Heroic, but do so with ease. I’m expecting them to be extremely chalky, but rightfully so; they are the top target on almost every slate, and this one is no different. I’d recommend a minimum of two players in every build, with the most of my 3-3 lineups having three (obviously) and matching it with either 3 players from TL or G2.

Top Stack: device ($8,600), Xyp9x ($7,400), magisk($7,600)

CS:GO Stack Target #2: Team Liquid (-900)

The one and only reason I don’t have G2 as my second favorite stack is the very slight possibly that North wins. No, I do not think they do, but for the 1% chance, I’ll take TL over G2 in cash and G2 over TL in GPPs. Team Liquid has not been in good form as of late, but should easily dismantle Chaos. TL is where I’ll look for my value plays since I’ll be prioritizing the Big 3 of Astralis. While not mentioned in my top stack, NAF ($8,400) is a fine play on DK, but I can’t see myself paying up for someone in such poor form when two of the players mentioned above are cheaper, and device is only $200 more; NAF is much more suitable on FD as his price tag of $10,500. Twistzz ($9,500) is a lock on FD and will be in every one of my lineups there.

Top Stack: EliGe ($9,000 DK / $11,600 FD), Twistzz($7,000 DK / $9,500 FD), Stewie2K ($6,600 DK / $9,900 FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #3: G2 (-400)

See above as to why they are ranked #3 and not #2. Make no mistake, G2 should beat North 2-0 or at the very least 2-1, and have the second-highest upside on the slate, but the very slight possibility of North pulling this off has me tempering expectations. They carry GPP-winning upside, and I’ll have a ton as my second highest owned stack since I’ll only be playing GPPs. For what it’s worth, North did beat G2 2-1 last time they played one another a week ago. While not mentioned in the top 3 options, all 5 players on G2 are viable should you need the savings.

Top Stack: nexa ($8,200 DK / $12,000 FD), kennyS ($7,400 DK / $11,900 FD), huNter- ($7,600 DK / $11,500 FD)

CS:GO Slate Notes

There won’t be any team I’ll have exposure to other than the three mentioned above. All three are in favorable matchups and should win 2-0 with G2 possibly winning 2-1. On FD, lock in TL at the team spot ($6,900) and Twistzz ($9,500) for value, with a one off coming from North since you need 3 teams. My favorite pay up at captain on DK is device ($12,900) and my favorite “value” (I guess you can call it that?) captains are Xyp9x ($11,100), huNter- ($11,400), and kennyS ($11,100). Getting different will be the key to taking a GPP down tomorrow, and if you can make it fit with studs from each team mentioned above, I’m not opposed to 2-2-2 builds on DK as compared to the traditional optimal of 3-3 to increase your lineup’s upside.

CS:GO Stack Target #1: GODSENT (-150)

With all 4 matches looking like they can go either way, I’ll take GODSENT over North as our top stack of the day strictly because of price. By stacking GODSENT, you’ll be able to fit any other team you wish to pair them with on both FD and DK, including both G2 and Faze. North has been streaking, jumping 3 spots in the CS:GO World Rankings, but GODSENT took them 2-1 last time out, winning the maps count 43-36. Aizy ($8,200 DK / $11,500 FD) is definitely worthy of consideration in your builds, primarily on FD if you choose to use him as a one off, but the stack below takes precedence for me.

Top Stack: STYKO ($7,000 DK / $9,900 FD), zehN ($7,800 DK / $9,400 FD), Maikelele ($6,400 DK), maden ($9,400 FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #2: Faze (-150)

In what should be the best game on the slate, I’ll take Faze over G2. The latter has been rather sloppy in their past two games, something that may slide over teams like Heretics, but will not when facing the likes of Faze. In their previous two meetings in the past two months, there has been a total of 4 overtime games out of 5, so this one will definitely be close, but I’ll side with the team that looks to be in better form.

Top Stack: NiKo ($8,200 DK / $12,000 FD), broky ($6,800 DK / $11,600 FD), coldzera ($7,400 DK / $11,900 FD)

CS:GO Slate Notes

All 4 matches will be tightly contested on this slate, but I feel like stacking Godsent will give us a nice edge in GPPs with both Faze and G2 carrying most of the ownership. My other two stacks worth considering in the other two games are Winstrike (-175) and Nemiga (PK).

The team is on a heater, so you just know we have to keep it rolling, WinDaily family! Today’s CS:GO slate is identical to yesterday’s, but I’ve attached a brief summary as always just in case.

CS:GO Slate Summary

Optimal stack on FD is 3-2-1, one-off is preferable atthe team spot

CS:GO Stack Target #1: Ninjas in Pyjamas (-150)

With all due respect to ZywOo ($9,600 DK / $12,100 FD) who is one of, if not the best CS:GO player in the world, I will not be hedging this game. Other than their star player, Team Vitality is wildly inconsistent and I can’t see them beating NIP who should’ve gotten the win over Faze yesterday. Plopski played extremely well, and I’m expecting REZ to be right there with him in this one to carry them to victory.

Top Stack: Plopski ($7,200 DK / $11,500 FD), REZ ($6,800 DK / $10,400 FD), nawwk ($7,000 DK / $11,000 FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #2: G2 (-225)

We nailed the Astralis call yesterday, as they easily dismantled G2 2-0 in dominating fashion. But that’s what happens when you play the #1 team in the world; losing is something that G2 is not accustomed to and I think they’ll be back in the ‘W’ column today. For those of you that have been following my CS:GO builds, you’ll know that I am a huge fan of Team Heretics and I think they’ll put up a fight, possibly enough to even win the series. Even though I’m favoring G2 to win, I’ll 100% be hedging this game and I recommend you do the same with the following stacks:

Top Stack: kennyS ($8,800 DK / $12,000 FD), huNter- ($7,600DK / $10,800 FD), nexa ($7,000 DK / $11,400 FD)

Hedge Stack: Maka ($10,200 DK / $11,700 FD), Nivera($7,800 DK / $ FD), Lucky ($6,800 DK / $10,200 FD)

CS:GO Slate Notes

Yesterday’s fade of the first game worked out tremendously and I’ll be doing the same on this slate. Luckily for FD players, you don’t have the option to play it, but for our DK guys, I recommend fading Winstrike vs Syman, which is a pick em game. If you want to play anyone from that one, hedge both sides since it can go any way. I’ll be playing NIP in many, if not all of my lineups, paired with G2 and HER, with Plopski being my favorite choice for captain. My other choice would be Maka in HER stacks (if you can fit it in) or Lucky; huNter- or nexa for G2 stacks.

Another day, another CS:GO slate to crush, WinDaily family! We killed it yesterday with Team Heretics leading our lineups to victory despite Fnatic disappointing. The “Other Considerations” turned out to be way more than that, as allu lead the slate in points! Let’s keep the streak going…

CS:GO Slate Summary

3 games on DK; 1 at 7am EST, 1 at 10:30am EST, and 1at 2pm EST

2 games on FD; 1 at 10:30am EST and 1 at 2pm EST

Optimal stack on DK is 3-3

Optimal stack on FD is 3-2-1, one-off is preferable at the team spot

CS:GO Stack Target #1: Astralis (-275)

I cannot wait to watch this heavyweight bout as the #1 and #6 teams in the World Rankings face off. Astralis takes on G2 in the best game on the slate from a fan’s perspective, but also from a DFS one. The winner from this game will likely be in the winning lineup, and I’m rolling with the best team in the world in Astralis. The last time these two teams faced off back in December 2019, AST took the win 2-1 and their big 3 listed below lead the way, to no surprise. More recently, they have impressive victories over powerhouses like Team Liquid and Faze, and I’m predicting they pick up another one tomorrow.

Top Stack: device ($8,800 DK / $11,700 FD), Xyp9x ($8,200 DK / $11,500 FD), magisk ($8,600 DK / $11,700 FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #2: Faze (-188)

This game will be just as entertaining as the other EU game, with Faze taking on Ninjas in Pyjamas. I’ll side with Faze on this one based on the individual talent pool of the favorite; any one of Niko, broky, or coldzera could be the team’s MVP on a given slate. They’ve beaten NIP in the previous two encounters, and produced some remarkable DFS numbers, with Niko and broky posting 1.59 (+21) and 1.56 (+25) KD ratios, respectively.

Top Stack: Niko ($10,200 DK / $11,600 FD), broky ($8,400 DK / $11,900 FD), coldzera ($7,200 DK / $12,000 FD), rain ($6,800 DK / $10,200 FD)

CS:GO Slate Notes

I’ll personally be fading the Virtus Pro vs Nemiga game at 7am EST since it’s not only is too close to call, but I also don’t think it will produce the most amount of fantasy points. If you’re looking to get a little different in GPPs, I’d take my chances on VP’s trio of Jame, buster, and qikert. FD requires you to play a third team, and with only two games on their slate, you’ll have to have one player from a losing squad. I’m not completely opposed to playing NIP or G2 in the team spot since I think both series will go the distance and you’ll pick up some points for the (hopefully) one win they’ll get, but it isn’t ideal. I much prefer taking huNter- on FD ($10,300) who is severely underpriced, or REZ ($10,400). Remember, if you’re looking to take down a multi-entry GPP, hedging both games is the way to go! Below are my stacks for both G2 and NIP

NIP: Plopski ($7,000 DK / $11,000 FD), REZ ($6,400 DK/ $ 10,400 FD), nawwk ($6,600 DK / $10,600 FD)

G2: kennyS ($7,800 DK / $12,000 FD), Nexa ($6,000 DK /$11,300 FD), huNter- ($6,800 DK / $10,300 FD)

Welcome to another CS:GO Breakdown for both DraftKingsand FanDuel! Sunday’s plays crushed and we’re looking to keep it going on today’sslate.

CS:GO Summary

4 total games: 2 at 10:30am EST and 2 at 2:30pm EST

Optimal stack on DK is 3-3

Optimal stack on FD is 3-2-1, one-off is preferable atthe team spot

CS:GO Stack Target #1: Fnatic (-500)

The heaviest favorite on the slate is also my favorite stack. I was a bit surprised at how much FNC I had when building my lineups given that I am usually reluctant to play them and typically predict underdogs beating them, given their level of inconsistency, but Movistar is not a team that screams consistency either. Movistar seems to have gotten their groove back in the last few, but FNC will put a stop to that in this one.

Top Stack: Brollan ($8,800 DK / $12,500 FD), flusha ($8,200DK / $11,700 FD), JW ($6,800 DK / $10,800 FD)

CS:GO Stack Target #2: Team Heretics (-188)

Not sure how HER isn’t a bigger favorite here. Yes, North is coming off an impressive win versus G2 and aizy ($8,400 DK / $11,500 FD) has been playing well, but HER’s trio of Maka, Nivera, and Lucky will lead their squad to victory and is close to a lock for me on both sites.

Top Stack: Maka ($9,800 DK / $11,200 FD), Nivera ($7,800DK / $10,600 FD), Lucky ($7,000 DK / $10,200 FD)

Other Considerations:

Below are three one-off players that I do like tomorrow. Although I probably won’t be stacking their teams because their teammates do not offer as high of a ceiling as they do, I’ll definitely have my shares of these 3 individual players:

Farlig (CPHF) — $9,200 DK / $11,700 FD

ZywOo (VIT) — $10,400 DK / $12,100 FD

Allu (E) — $8,600 DK / $11,900 FD

Welcome to another CS:GO Breakdown for both DraftKingsand FanDuel! Yesterday went fairly well; we missed on the Team Heretics GPPplay while Winstrike and Team Liquid also both took losses, although I did sayto fade those games. GPP calls in Ninjas in Pyjamas and Envy worked outtremendously, while top stacks Astralis and Complexity hit big! Let’s dive intothe next slate:

CS:GO Summary

9 total games: 3 at 9am EST, 4 at 12:30pm EST, 2 at4pm EST

Optimal stack on DK is 3-3

Optimal stack on FD is 3-2-1, one-off is preferable atthe team spot

9am EST CS:GO Stack Target: Natus Vincere (-800)

With their star player leading the way, NAVI should cruise in this one versus Hard Legion. s1mple ($10,600 DK) is one of the best CS:GO players to roster in DFS, with his 1.48 K/D ratio ranking second in the entire player field, making him an elite target in the process. The problem with NAVI is that the rest of their squad doesn’t compare to their star player, but for stack purposes, roll out electronic ($7,400 DK) with Boombl4 ($6,200 DK) or flamie ($5,800 DK).

2nd stack: Virtus Pro (-275): Jame($8,600 DK), qikert ($7,800 DK), buster ($8,000 DK)

12:30pm EST CS:GO Stack Target: FAZE (-900)

Elite fantasy production in a perfect matchup, what’snot to like? Don’t overthink this one, load up on coldzera ($7,600 DK), NiKo($9,000 DK), and broky ($7,800 DK) with coldzera being my favorite captainbecause of the savings it gives you versus playing NiKo there. We’ve seen theodd game or two where rain ($7,000 DK) outproduces broky ($7,800 DK), but I’mnot buying it in this one; broky’s K/D ratio smashes rain’s at 1.21 compared to0.96.

2nd stack: G2 (-800): nexa($7,200 DK), kennyS ($7,800 DK), huNter- ($7,400 DK)

4pm EST CS:GO Stack Target: Team Liquid (-400)

Coming off a tough loss to FURIA yesterday, TeamLiquid will bounce back versus Cloud9 today. Stack this usual suspects in thisone: EliGe ($8,600 DK) and NAF ($8,200) make an excellent 1-2 punch; round itout with Stewie2K ($6,400) or Twistzz ($6,800 DK), with the former being myfavorite of the two.

2nd stack: hedge both GenG andFURIA

FURIA: KSCERATO ($8,400 DK),HEN1 ($7,400 DK), yuurih ($7,000 DK)

GenG: BnTeT ($7,000 DK),koosta ($7,200 DK), autimatic ($7,600 DK)
