Welcome to the beginning of the CS:GO PrizePicks articles where we will be targeting the best props of the slate! While others focus just on one tier, PrizePicks focuses on every tier in CS:GO which makes it that much more enticing to watch. 

Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production. 

How to play PrizePicks CS:GO 

The format is simple. You will pick two, three or four players and predict if they will go over or under their fantasy point total. 

For CS:GO, the scoring is also just as simple as players score +1 fantasy point for a kill.

When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:

• Two-pick entry pays 2x (max entry: $400)
• Three-pick entry pays 2.25x (max entry: $200)
• Four-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $100)

As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a four-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.

For tomorrow, the first series will start at 8 a.m./5 a.m. EST. 

CS:GO PrizePicks

Ax1LE OVER 41.5 – Now this is a series I like for Gambit, as they are huge favorites and have dominated Nemiga 20 maps to six overall. Gambit has also swept them six series straight now, and mixing that with their current nine-game win streak, this should be bread and butter for Ax1Le. He holds a 1.24 player rating versus Nemiga overall and just dominates them. This is also a good time for Gambit to prepare for the IEM Cologne Live Event happening after this CIS StarLadder.

Lollipop21k UNDER 34.5 – Sticking with the same series of Ax1LE, but on the other side, is Lollipop21k. He has a high projection of 34.5, which he has only reached once in his past five series. The other issue is that he holds an overall rating of 0.94 versus Gambit and with a –10 K/D difference in eight maps played. 

Djoko OVER 33.5 – DBL Poney does have a slightly difficult series to start this PrizePicks slate off versus Entropiq, but Djoko has actually been dominating this event. He is currently holding a 1.19 player rating from his 1.03 and has exceeded his 33.5 projection in the past five series. We also get the advantage of each map being extended out close to the 30 rounds, as both teams average about twelve round wins in a map loss. I think Djoko makes this a very doable projection to exceed.

FL1T OVER 40.5 – I dislike Akuma a lot, and for forZe, I think this will be a doable series to dominate and sweep Akuma in which FL1T will be the main factor. Now, Akuma has struggled since the allegations of their radar hacks during a CIS Region event and have only taken two series since then. Those were also against some pretty horrendous teams. For forZe, they are a much tougher competitor than IN.GAME and ex-Marlian. For FL1T, he has gone past the 40-kill mark in his past five series and has also gone past in eight of his last 10 series.
