Series Predictions
Our picks for each game on the upcoming slate
Na’Vi > Astralis 2-1
Aurora > FUT 2-1
Mousesports > PARIVISION 2-1
FaZe > HEROIC 2-0
Vitality > G2 2-1
Falcons > 3DMAX 2-0
FURIA > B8 2-0
The MongolZ > paiN 2-1
My notes:
— A lot of the earlier matchups look to be extremely competitive games. Astralis has shown some nice form with the new additions of ryu and phzy, but this is a tough assignment against a very talented, experienced Na’Vi. It’s a similar story for the likes of FUT and PARIVISION, as both teams have been playing strong Counter-Strike but face challenging opening matchups.
— FaZe disappointed big-time at the last event, so we do think they’ll come out a bit more focused to start PGL. Both frozen and Twistzz stand out in this game against an inconsistent HEROIC squad.
— Vitality just picked up another tournament trophy and will look to keep the momentum going in Romania. ZywOo and company have one of the toughest opening games on the board, however. G2 is a strong team and could push the #1 team in the world here.
— The firepower and experience are firmly in Falcons’ and FURIA’s favor against their respective opponents. m0NESY and molodoy are two of the best AWPers in the world and would be our top individual targets within those games.

Counter-Strike FAQ – CS2 DFS Pick’Em
Read on for more information on CS2 props and DFS pick’em.
What is Counter-Strike?
CS2 is a popular video game in which two teams play 5v5.
The first team to win 13 rounds wins that particular “map”, and there are best-of-one, best-of-three, and best-of-three series depending on the tournament.
To win a round, a team must eliminate all of the opposing players or complete a team objective.
For the CT (Counter-Terrorist) side, the team goal is to defuse the bomb if planted by the Terrorist (T) side. For the T side, the objective is to eliminate all five opposing CTs OR plant the bomb and protect it long enough for it to explode.
For DFS and betting purposes, you can either participate in DFS contests where you build a full lineup of CS2 players, or you can try to predict individual player performance.
Just like in traditional sports, there are star players who accumulate more fantasy points in general, and recent player/team form and matchups can play a huge role in deciphering the best plays on a day-to-day basis.
