Tuesday's main Counter-Strike slate on DraftKings has three games: LEG @ FUR, VIT @ FAL and MOUZ @ G2. Lineups lock at 8:55 p.m. ET (5:55 p.m. PT), and the format is the usual one, with a captain slot that scores 1.5x points at 1.5x salary under a $50,000 cap.
The top of our model's ranking belongs to VIT. ZywOo, at $9,000, carries the highest ceiling on the slate at 143.5 and a DraftKings average of 70.3. His teammate flameZ ($7,400) has a ceiling of 103.6 and an average of 54.0, so the VIT side of the game offers more than one way in. FAL has two strong plays as well. m0NESY ($8,000) has a ceiling of 106.7 and an average of 65.2, and kyousuke ($6,400) sits at 113.3 with an average of 55.5. At the top end, xertioN of MOUZ costs $8,600 with a ceiling of 103.5.
The value is clearest with apEX of VIT. At $5,400, he has a ceiling of 118.0, the second highest on the board, and an average of 49.6. That is a ceiling well above anything else in his salary range. kyousuke at $6,400 is the other pricing edge, with a ceiling of 113.3 that trails only ZywOo and apEX. For teams that want cheaper exposure in the other two games, latto of LEG ($6,800, ceiling 102.9) and YEKINDAR of FUR ($7,400, ceiling 105.9) round out the model's top eight.
The fact sheet gives no ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land. The salary and ceiling numbers above are the better guide to who is worth the price.
Our model's top lineup uses $49,300 of the $50,000 cap. It puts ZywOo at captain for $13,500, then fills the FLEX spots with xertioN ($8,600), kyousuke ($6,400), m0NESY ($8,000), apEX ($5,400) and YEKINDAR ($7,400). That build pairs two VIT players with FAL's kyousuke and m0NESY and adds one each from MOUZ and FUR. Lineups lock at 8:55 p.m. ET.
