DraftKings CS:GO Esports DFS Rundown (Pinnacle) – February 8, 2022 – FantasyCruncher.com DFS Articles & Insights – fantasycruncher.com

MAD Lions (MAD) v.s. Enterprise (ENTR) (9:00 AM EST)

To start the slate both teams will look to extend their one-game winning streak, but unfortunately that won’t be possible for one. Fortunately for MAD, they swept ENTR the last time these teams met 2-0 in a series. TMB was the leading slayer for MAD in that matchup and has a chance to cause havoc once again since he’s starting off the seasons strong with a 105.2 damage per round. This will be a problem for ENTR as well since the last time they lost TMB wasn’t even the most efficient slayer of both teams and he has a better chance of being the most efficient this time. In addition, no one is slaying at this caliber on ENTR along with TMB’s teammate MICHU being the second highest damage dealer at 86.9 per round (which is also more than anyone on the ENTR squad).

Unique (UNIQ) v.s. ENDPOINT (ENPT) (9:00 AM EST)

Both teams are on a winning streak in this game as well but UNIQ is on a two-game streak while ENPT is on a one-game streak. Also, the rankings are quite close in this matchup with UNIQ being 37^th in the world while ENPT is 41^st. However, ENPT did sweep UNIQ the last time these teams met 2-0. BOROS played a large part in the domination for ENPT with a +27 kill-death differential and top slayer out of both teams. Fortunately for ENPT, BOROS is coming off a +9 kill-death differential game and a strong start to the season with a 1.22 K/D which can lead to him performing well in this rematch. CRUC1AL is also not too far behind him with a 1.19 K/D and was also behind BOROS in kills for ENPT in the previous matchup with UNIQ. Therefore, ENPT has a really good chance to prevent UNIQ from getting their revenge here.

PACT (PCT) v.s. 1WIN (1WIN) (12:00 PM EST)

PACT and 1WIN are both currently on a two-game win-streak, but PACT may have the slight edge with a 61.1% win-rate compared to 1WIN’s. The fact that 1WIN’s most efficient slayer in glowiing is coming off a slightly below negative game and his team was able to win shows how much 1WIN shouldn’t be overlooked. Also, glowiing will be the highest damage dealer out of both teams in this matchup with 83.8 per round. The main person that may need to slow down glowiing from PACT would be reatz who is coming off a +3 kill-death differential game and leading the PACT squad with a 1.03 K/D. In other words, PACT has a chance to catch glowiing in a slight regression, but this game has potential to go down to the wire.

Tricked (TRCK) v.s. Team SPIRIT (SPIRIT) (12:00 PM EST)

To conclude the slate another potential close match will go underway with TRCK entering as the rank 47^th team in the world against a rank 52^nd team in SPIRIT. However, SPIRIT may have the slaying advantage here with a 1.03 team overall K/D versus TRCK’s 0.95. Chopper is currently starting off the season as the most efficient slayer for SPIRIT with a 1.20 K/D which is also higher than anyone on both teams. The fact that degster who was often the most reliable slayer at times for SPIRIT as the team’s main sniper was the second to last efficient slayer in SPIRIT’s last win can be a potential problem for TRCK. However, larsen of TRCK has a chance to slow him down with a slight damage edge of 75.3 per round compared to degster’s 68.1. Either way it still may not be enough for TRCK because SPIRIT has shown that they’re capable of winning without degster dominating compared to previous seasons so far.
