Cloud9 eliminate Astralis from Major

22/1/2018 - 20:10

Cloud9 are through to the fifth round of the ELEAGUE Major's New Legends Stage after easing past Astralis 16-6 on Train.

Cloud9 started the match off on the right foot, securing a quick 3-0 lead after picking up their T-side pistol with a B execution. In the first gun round, William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba and Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham further extended their team's lead after winning a 2v4 situation.

After getting their economy back on track, Astralis held off their opponents two rounds in a row, bringing the deficit to 2-5. The Danes then looked to be in prime position to break Cloud9's economy after Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz picked up four kills, but Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip had different plans and clutched a 1v2 situation.

Cloud9 move into the 2-2 pool

A scrappy period of play ensued as neither team could stamp their authority on the game, with Astralis bagging the final two rounds of the half to bring the scoreline to 6-9.

Cloud9 began the second half just like the first, winning three rounds in a row and the first gun round. But this time, Astralis would not be able to find a single opening as the North Americans locked down the map without losing a round as CTs.

and dupreeh

in the same event in 2017 VP and Astralis played an epic final in 2018 both with horrible performances

5 replies

Yeah i agree. I think that especially Astralis came in maybe with too much confidence.

2018-01-22 20:20

I think they didn't have enough practice to get their teamwork done, they lost so many rounds with advantages, also dupreeh awping is not the best idea

2018-01-22 20:41

3 replies

I think with time it could work with dupreeh being awper, if he wants it and device is an amazing rifles, then why not. I think they just need a little more of a loose ct side with the changes, it worked very well with the standins

2018-01-23 00:02

I think it's really bad that the major is after the break, the top teams lose a bit of skill and then they are on par with the lower teams, that's why these upsets keep happening

2018-01-23 00:09

indeed + those dumb bo1's...

2018-01-23 12:30

so disappointing

Astralis have some serious issues that they need to fix.

+1 Astralis will come back

Danish CS=Choke CS?

Well are mousesports not... German?

9 replies

SK is German too xD Makes no sense dude.

2018-01-22 20:15

So German CS = Choke CS aswell? since mousesports blew a 13-2 lead.. right?

2018-01-22 20:17

7 replies

No cuz SK almost made it through and Mousesports still can be in the Major but North and Astralis cant.

2018-01-22 20:18

6 replies

Yeah but... they still blew a 13-2 lead.. is that not a choke?

2018-01-22 20:19

It is ,but SK didnt choke and BIG was just bad so German CS=no Choke CS

2018-01-22 20:21

No no no my bro.. I totally forgot about BIG.. Now you really are in the same sinking boat as the Danish scene. German+Danish CS = Choke CS EOD

2018-01-22 20:23

Choke is when U have huge lead and U still loose SS VS BIG Match was 16-8 for SS NORTH choked so BIG won 16-12 and BIG never had a really huge lead in the gerne ,I think U Just didnt watch the match dude.

2018-01-22 20:26

"Choke is when U have huge lead and U still loose" Mousesports vs QBF 13-2 to 16-14 EOD

Thats only one game not two lol

Stewie the king of BM

danish cs getting rekt by NA what a day to be alive xd #RUNGOD9 #emiliadestroyedastralis #freedevve #devvedidnothingwrong

LUL +1

2018-01-22 21:09

rip Danes :(

100% sure they would have qualified with -dev1ce +dennis.

+1 astralis performed better with rubino or dennis instead of device, So much overrated

2018-01-22 22:03

unexpected, gg astralis

Im glad these bots lost. I cringe when that retard was reading strats, if you had strats you wouldnt be losing 13:3 last game and 13 to 3 or 4 now Cringe bot glaive

an igl that has notes? WHAT A RETARD LUL

He just wants to look smart but he is shit and doesnt have tactics

you know this isn't true, lol. Stop trollin. Do you seriously think astralis would keep him on the team if his calls didn't add any value to their playstyle? they'd probably get cajunb or magisk back if he was that useless.

Thats why they lost because he came there to read bible instead of playing the game

Just shut up dude

2018-01-22 20:28

Lmao read bible

2018-01-22 20:56

ezpz

haHAA danish cs in 2018 haHAA

danish cs RIP

Muricans gonna talk about this historical day when they defeated a super weak Astralis for years to come

Lol they eliminated them from the last tourney as well. Nothing special

Still they shouldn't have crushed them like that. Always making it an NA vs EU issue.

2018-01-22 20:29

How can a team with the your beloved Device be stomped like that, HLTV? Rofl

what did stewie yell? he seemed to be shouting towards the astralis block

Danish choker strike globally offended

rip daneland

When the whole team performs PogChamp This is why they wanted rush

Omg I am so happy :)

device: "our chances at the major are really good"

RUSH is a beast.

RIP Danish era. Hopefully we will rise once again.

danish cs lol

Lmfao

Well shit no Danes on major playoffs....

Karrigan...

oh shit u right

2018-01-22 20:42

You didnt help skadoodle so ur dick becomes now a noodle

2018-01-22 20:22

OMG. No one above 1.0 rating. Sad

Gj Clown9. I always believed in you.

Thorin must be crying.

2018-01-23 12:45

nice

2018-01-22 20:31

both last year finalists got eliminated in groups and qbf in the playoffs , what is going on

2018-01-22 20:32

gz Cloud9 gl playoffs

dupreeh can not play awp from the team, I wanted to know who made this stupid decision ... dev1ce is much better than awp ... good for the other teams that took advantage of that .... gg

2018-01-22 20:34

Nice english, monkey.

2018-01-22 21:56

is the translation of google translate sick mental stinky ...

2018-01-23 03:29

C9 needs to be on the playoffs just for making me this happy. Astralis should go beg for dennis to join them, maybe they'd have a chance on winning pistol rounds.

2018-01-22 20:37

BAD GAME FOR YOU HAHAHA

2018-01-22 20:39

Watch how C9 will get SK as their last opponent

Congratz beating a legendary team and a major champion in their worst moment. Good job, c9. lmao...

Danish scene LUL

2018-01-22 20:44

I swear if c9 beat astralis but still dont qualify i give up on NA cs

beating astralis atm is not that impressive

2018-01-22 20:57

lol wtf, rip danish cs.

2018-01-22 20:50

Astralis 1 hit wonder team

2018-01-22 21:10

As I said.. pathetic 4 players in top20 and cant do poop

2018-01-22 21:13

Maybe this is karma, for all the disrespect to your stand in.

2018-01-22 21:16

2018-01-22 21:18

deserved these astralis faggots when they had a stand-in almost carrying the fucking team ( dennis in denmark ) were saying shit like " if we had device we would have won the tournament bla bla bla " and now device is back and they are out in the fucking group stage LMAO

2018-01-22 21:19

are you 12 years old?

2018-01-22 21:30

sorry didnt mean to offend you baby im offending astralis right now you can chill now

2018-01-22 21:33

rubino played very well too

2018-01-23 03:38

true but dennis just went ham

2018-01-23 17:16

LUL

2018-01-22 21:24

Danish CS is dead :(

mouz vs c9 next. I guarantee it. 100%

2018-01-22 21:32

Im happy that i don't support Astralis or North :)

expected

First time in CS:GO history that dev1ce, dupreeh, and xyp9x have failed to make playoffs in a major. This is depressing.

2018-01-22 21:34

Why would a team that showed so much flaws on train against North choose to play it against Cloud9 , whom it is the best map ? Can't understand that lack of logic..

Gg ugly danish virgins r0000000fl

2018-01-22 21:49

damn astralis played bad this whole tournament but im not mad since c9 is also one of my favorite teams so i will support c9 for the rest of groups and g2 in playoffs with my luck tho they will get each other in quarters xD RIP PICKEMS

2018-01-22 21:51

The Major needs more EU teams /s

2018-01-22 22:36

Ahahaha device: “our chances at the major are really good” Honestly this is karma for treating your standings like shit. Hope astralis get rid of this “top 5 player” and replace him with dennis

2018-01-22 22:58

2 years ago, this was impossible. Lets go all the way C9. Out of groups since COLOGNE 2014!

2018-01-22 23:54

dh winter 2014 in esl cologne they made quarterfinals against nip and almost to win friberg saves nip

2018-01-23 03:37

MAJOR WINNERS LUL

Rush played out of his mind

2018-01-23 00:10

maybe astralis could try to make a more diverse team like c9?
