CS:GO DFS Overview: Saturday, May 9th
Heretics (+150) vs. Vitality (-215)
After a blazing start to the tournament, Maka has cooled off significantly. After four consecutive 93+ point outings on DraftKings (an absurdly high total in the post-GLA world), he hasn’t eclipsed 55 DK points in his last three matches. So what do we do with him today? He still possesses slate-breaking upside. As an underdog, he shouldn’t see a ton of ownership. So he’s too risky for cash games, but a great GPP option. If you make 10 lineups, I’d aim to have 2 to 3 with him in it. Nivera has been the Robin to Maka’s Batman, and can be paired up for a two-man stack. He lacks the ceiling of Maka, but has shown a decent floor even in losses. Lucky can be sprinkled throughout lineups either as a one-off or paired with either of the two aforementioned players. His range of outcomes is limited, but he hasn’t had better or worse than a net -5 to +5 K/D in his last five matches. It’s hard to call him “safe” as the third-best player on an underdog, but the numbers do show consistency lately.
