Welcome back everyone for another three-game CS:GO slate on DraftKings. Like I mentioned in Monday’s article, we are going to get the same teams for about four days straight, just with different matchups each time. So while we get the same teams, this slate is a little less pretty than Monday’s slate. We saw the […]

We are back with another major event for CS:GO with the ESL Pro League Season 13 event, which features 24 teams. We will see the same teams multiple times in a row, but with different matchups for about four to five days at a time, so this may get slightly repetitive. DraftKings has been whiffing […]

The IEM Katowice playoffs are back and are heading into the final stages this weekend. We get to kick our Friday off with a nice two-game slate with some stacked teams. While we are used to seeing NaVi and Astralis in the final stages of the bracket, we now get to see how Virtus.pro can […]

We are continuing with the opening rounds of the IEM Katowice event, as we have a solid four-game slate. It is tough that we do not get the full six games, but it’s DraftKings being DraftKings. Unfortunately, this event had to be canceled for all LAN play and has moved to online, but the teams are […]

We finally get our first LAN event in almost a year with the IEM Katowice event, which is kicking off with the play-in round! Now, we are only getting five of the eight series today, which are best of one. While we get a larger slate and an even playing field between teams, a lot can go […]

We kick off our CS:GO weekend with another BLAST Premier event as we get closer to the playoff bracket of each series. We get one of the top teams with NaVi and the rest, well, we can debate on if they are going to make it far. The main things we do want to point […]

As everyone is enjoying Super Bowl Sunday, it’s time to start preparing for the next batch in the BLAST Premier event series with two new series and four new teams. While BLAST is doing this in small batches, we have seen a little bit difference in how these slates are going. While we don’t expect […]

What a way to kick of the BLAST Spring event with NiP pulling a huge upset versus Astralis with their new addition of ztr. He proved me and many people wrong alongside NiP. While we get the same teams for the Friday slate, it’s winners versus winners and losers versus losers. While I want to […]

We get back to the Tier 1 action with the launch of the BLAST Premiere Spring event. While it is only a two-game slate on DraftKings, we still get some pretty solid series to watch. While these slates do get tricky with the duplicated lineups, we will have to see where to get creative, as we […]

To kick off a new week of CS:GO, we start with a whole new event and a nice-sized four-game slate for the Snow Sweet Snow 1 Event. Now we get some teams that we’re familiar with but also some brand-new teams we’ll be seeing for the first time. Now we may have some extreme chalk […]

It is finals sunday for the Cs_Summit 7 event, and we have a solid two-game slate to look forward too. Now, this makes line-up construction a little trickier due to having duplicate line-ups across the board, but it’s all about getting a little different and weird. We get some of the best teams so far in […]

It’s the freakin’ weekend and we’re about to have some fun! Now, we do get our usual three-game CS:GO slate, but we finally get some much better series to go through. While we have been witnessing some bloody three map series, we should actually have some sweep potentials ready for this Saturday slate. So let […]

As we are getting closer to the end of the week, our CS_Summit 7 event is also slowing down toward the end of the event. We have another three-game slate for Friday with teams that are on the struggling side of things since returning from the break. The bright side is that these will be some fresh […]

In what is gearing up to be a repeat of Monday’s slate games, we are in store for another three-game slate for CS:GO. While we have seen some of these series recently, we still want to see which ones were truly close and which ones were blowouts. Also have the losing teams made the adjustments […]

After having a slate full of high-action-packed teams, we now turn to a slate where the struggling teams are pitted against each other. This slate could be easy but also tricky at the same time, as all six teams have struggled since returning from the break or kicked off the event with poor performances. This […]

After a solid six game slate to kick the week off, cs_summit 7 now moves to three series a day until we reach the finals. As always, I will break down each series with my favorite plays to build around and with while giving my favorite stacks at the end. With slates getting smaller and […]

We get the first big slate of the year for CS:GO Monday morning, which kicks off the cs_summit 7 event. This event will feature some of the heavier hitting teams and have some action-packed series. Now this is where these slates can get interesting as we’ll see some crazy line-up construction, but we’ll need to […]

As the week goes, the more CS:GO Series we are getting! For Wednesday, we have a three-gamer with some true heavy hitters. Lineups will need to be a little different, and the fade of a top player may be needed. So let us dive in and find our top plays! Vitality (-667) versus Complexity (+477) […]

CS:GO is back with tier one teams and we’re kicking 2021 off with the BLAST Series event! Usually with events starting, we see a much bigger slate but for this one, the slate is just two games. Don’t worry though, we get a couple pairs of stacked teams, which should not leave us short of entertainment. With […]

Wednesday brings another two-game overnight slate for CS:GO, which surrounds the Vulkan Fight Series Event once again. We will dive into each series and break down both sides of the DFS field for our favorite plays at Captain and the flex position. While these slates won’t grow in size, they will hold us over until […]

While the Tier 1 teams are on a player break until January 18th, we get some small action with the Vulkan Fight Series. The plan is the same as always: I will be breaking down both series on this two-game slate while giving my top plays. The builds this slate are going to be a 3×3, 2x2x1x1 or […]

We continue to dive into the IEM Global Challenge event as the CS:GO events come to an end for the year. I’m here to break down the three-game slate with my favorite plays at the captain and flex positions. Team Liquid (+138) vs. Heroic (-182) We get are kicking this slate off with two teams that […]
