CS:GO DFS Projections
CS:GO DFS Projections Our projections go beyond traditional kill / death / assist ratios to factor in map analytics. Based on recent pick data we predict map probabilities and factor in each players performance on those maps. We then factor in Vegas lines to attribute the number of rounds, and the probability of 3 maps. […]

Core plays/lineup construction for CS:GO (10/13 AFT)
We get a massive six-game IEM NA slate Tuesday with a ton of massive favorites. Everyone is going to want to gravitate to the blowout games, but with six games on the slate, I believe balanced lineups will be the most optimal and the best leverage on the field as some of these salaries are downright absurd. As we […]

Today, we get two new events, with the AM cap being the IEM CIS event. This event has some lesser known teams along with NaVi, but some of these lesser known teams are actually pretty good, and we have some really good map data for these teams, so projections should be solid today. Virtus.Pro (-345) vs. K23 (+240) […]

This may be the best IEM NA slate we have had to date, as we have some mispriced players, some favorites that still have something to play for, but none so outrageous that they should be playing games on the battlefield. The prize pool is disappointing and I expect it to fill quickly, so make sure […]

Core plays and lineup construction for CS:GO (10/10 afternoon slate)
The edge in Saturday afternoon’s CSGO DFS slate is going to depend a lot on your perspective. In the first day of this event, we say Furia as a massive favorite, completely screwing around on the battlefield. Their top guys used weaker weapons, attempted stealth kills and punted rounds. Their top three put up a mediocre performance […]

Thursday kicks off with a two-game slate between four evenly matched teams, which is similar to what we experienced on Wednesday. As we saw Wednesday, when teams are closely ranked, things can get muddy, and 3-3 becomes highly duped and less optimal. I plan on doing zero 3-3 lineups today and will be mostly 3-2-1 and 2-2-1-1. What's interesting about today […]

IEM North America has been a wild ride with some atrocious teams, and some of the top teams playing games over playing at the top of their ability. As such it is a good time to be wise with our bankrolls and not over-extend as variance might be a little bit wider. We also expect pricing to get […]
