The Sun 11/1 main slate on DraftKings Counter-Strike has six games: LEG @ TMZ, HERO @ B8, AUR @ TL, FUR @ FaZe, NaVi @ FAL and MOUZ @ T. Lineups lock Sun 11/1 at 7:55 p.m. ET (4:55 p.m. PT). The cap is $50,000, and the captain slot scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary.
Our model's top-ranked play by ceiling is ksloks of LEG at $8,600, with a ceiling of 144.5 against a DraftKings average of 45.1. That gap between ceiling and average points to a boom-or-bust profile. m0NESY of FAL is next at $9,400 with a ceiling of 130.7, and his DraftKings average of 65.5 is the highest among our top plays, so his floor looks steadier than most. Brollan of HERO sits at $9,000 with a 116.3 ceiling and a 44.5 average, which makes him a pricey way to chase upside.
The value plays come at lower salaries. XANTARES of AUR costs $6,800 and carries a 127.2 ceiling, the third-highest on the board, with a 54.4 average. dumau of LEG is $6,200 with a 123.1 ceiling. Add susp of HERO at $6,400 (112.3 ceiling), EliGE of TL at $6,600 (108.5) and iM of NaVi at just $5,600 (111.0 ceiling, 49.4 average), and there is plenty of upside here without spending up. iM's price is the one that stands out, since it leaves the most room to fit stars elsewhere.
The fact sheet does not include ownership figures for this slate, so we will not guess where the crowd is headed.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,100 of the $50,000 cap. It puts m0NESY in the captain slot at $14,100, then fills the flex spots with YEKINDAR at $7,800, dumau at $6,200, iM at $5,600, XANTARES at $6,800 and ksloks at $8,600. It pairs the slate's steadiest high-end scorer in the captain spot with three of the cheaper high-ceiling plays. Set your lineups before the 7:55 p.m. ET lock.
