>when do we start to question glaive
when -xyp gets replaced by a better player and the roster still does not perform
2023-03-18 21:27
we stuck when we were the best , we will still stick while we are the bottom feeders. The time will come again and the reign will be back soon!

gla1ve has unironically bot tier calls, maybe he worked perfectly with zonic, maybe he is just a fraud, who knows.
I would throw everyone out except for dev1ce and blameF and perhaps get some Astralis Talent players, if the org is really that cheap.

been a fan since the TSM days. It is definitely rough compared to where they used to be. I think part of the reason most certainly is the bad recruitment, and time and time again having players that are not comfortable in their respective roles together with role overlaps on the team. Furthermore, they just dont have enough firepower anymore. The old Astralis was able to rely on a brand of counterstrike heavily based around the team aspect, that is not to say that they didnt have the firepower behind it to back it up (dupreeh was a really good entry, and magisk in a supporting role also got a lot of frags. This astralis has nowhere near that amount of firepower with it being painstakingly clear that xyp9x is way past his prime, and buzz not being ready for tier 1 cs (he is just the latest addition to the relatively long list of bad recruitments).
Also, I do agree with notion of gla1ve's calling being outdated. Too many times on t-sides they just look completely lost and dont know what to do. This of course ties into my earlier point about the firepower, with a complete lack of any type of aggression making for consistent entries onto sites.

they need 1 good aimer and the team is top 10 consistently staehr or zyphon is that

It is at the very least time to -Xyp. All due respect to the legend but he ain't it.
Gla1ve may have to go. Idk if he remembers how to call when you can't rely 100% on the whole team to be consistent. He will remain goated, but its probably time to coach.

I think I'm done talking about Astralis honestly, the team is unsalvageable, better off fail the rmr and go through core rebuild (blamef + device + 3). At the very least, keep buzz cos it'd be unfair to kick him so early. Still I think he'll probably remain a misutaaa of this team forever. But both Gla1ve and xyp9x have been given enough chances already imo

Because Astralis has 2 good fraggers, 1 mediocre one and 2 bad ones. Even with wallhack it's hard to beat tier 1 teams that way. Xyp has to go, and probably glaive too but there aren't any good available danish igls

astralis sucks because 2 players are just cruising on their 4 majors
If u remove their nameplates anyone with eyes can see how much they suck compared to the average pro in 2023.
But they are 2/5 of the 'goat' lineup so astralis keeps them around. And the fact they signed buzz when they are the biggest org in denmark is just a big fuck you to the fans. Theyre basicly saying we dont care lolol. Way too many better danish players out there im not even gonna list them.

3 years of dominance why complaining

Astralis can improve without any changes if baitF becomes entryF.

I blame what happened to Astralis on org management and device. Device managed to destroy 2 nordic orgs and his career in 1 year. That's a speedrun if I ever saw one
