true but they are clearly miles ahead of lucky/farlig-k0nfig-xyp lineup. their map pool is still ass and I can't imagine them winning anything soon but grinding t2 events is a good way to build a solid team. GL or Monte did the same thing and managed to transition it to lan.
Idk what u talkin about, they won second cct in this year, so its not first small tournament win but second. Good points in ranking. Is a lot of teams in top15 that Astralis can easily win, but they are higher than them, its cs.
Yea exactly, it was a few weeks before major when Astralis won so easy with GamerLegion ( later finalists ). Astralis can easily win with higher ranked teams, but also they have to start qualify for big t1 tournaments or they will be stucked at same level for years.
i fully aggre with you, also astralis won apeks in the brazy party.
dallas will be a great test for the lineup.
imo the lineup lacks a bit of confidence maybe and experience together but im very happy seeing them overcome these problems round by round, match by match
Blamef playin to passive sometimes. For example, yesterday on inferno vs EF, blamef was close ramp and was like 15 seconds left, EF killed all astralis players on A, they planted bomb and Blamef was still ramp, its so stupid.
I think they are super happy that dupeeeh and magisk won it. They are in different place right now, they wanted be in danish team and it is what it is. In one month Astralis won vs GL 2:0 and then Vitality won with them 2:0 in final.
I think astralis beating them is part of what screwed my pickems lol I had no faith in GL whatsoever.
I only watch astralis and vitality matches, so I didn't know how other teams really play lol
i mean, their mirage is still bs, they still struggle on t-sides, they are still too predictable...
but yeah, altekz helps, dallas will be the real test tho
they won a previous CCT with Xyp , infact they lost to C9 without Xyp so there is really no argument that suggests that they have actually improved without him.
Dallas will answer that question.
