Wednesday's Counter-Strike showdown is a single game, TL @ FUR, with a $50,000 cap and a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary. The slate locks Wednesday 10/28 at 8:30 a.m. ET (5:30 a.m. PT).
Our model's ranking starts with EliGE of TL at $9,800. He carries the highest ceiling on the board at 89.8, even though his DraftKings average is 47.4, well below the top FUR names. KSCERATO of FUR is next at $12,000 with an 85.3 ceiling and a 57.6 average. YEKINDAR ($10,200, 82.8 ceiling, 51.7 average) and molodoy ($11,400, 81.5 ceiling, 58.0 average) round out the top four, so three of the first four ranked plays come from FUR.
The value plays sit mostly on the TL side. Jorko is $7,000 with a 68.8 ceiling and a 50.4 DraftKings average, a stronger average than EliGE, NAF or malbsMd carry. malbsMd at $8,000 has a 72.2 ceiling and a 45.6 average, the best ceiling among the sub-$9,000 options. yuurih of FUR at $8,600 (70.6 ceiling, 46.8 average) sits in the same range. NAF at $9,000 has a 70.5 ceiling and a 41.9 average, the lowest average of the group.
The fact sheet gives no ownership figures for this slate, so we won't guess where the crowd is headed.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,900 of the $50,000 cap. It puts KSCERATO at captain for $18,000, then adds EliGE at the other captain-priced spot ($14,700), along with YEKINDAR at $10,200 and Jorko at $7,000. That mix pairs two FUR stars with EliGE and Jorko from TL, and it comes within a rounding error of the full cap.
