k0nfig, blameF join Astralis; ave to coach

4/11/2021 - 10:12

The Danish powerhouse is set to part ways with Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen, Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif, and Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen.

Astralis have announced the addition of former Complexity duo Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer and Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke to their lineup, as well as ex North coach and Counter-Strike 1.6 veteran Alexander "⁠ave⁠" Holdt as the new head coach.

The two new players will begin playing with the team immediately as they prepare for their debut under the Astralis banner at the BLAST Premier Fall Final (November 24-28), while ave will join them "the soonest possible."

dupreeh, zonic, and Magisk will make space for the new additions as they are set to depart the organization when their contracts expire in January, marking an end to a long tenure in what many see as the most successful core CS:GO has ever seen, holding four Major titles (three in Magisk's case) and a plethora of trophies from other big tournaments.

k0nfig and blameF join Astralis effective immediately

While the organization lists Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen in the lineup for BLAST Premier Fall, it is widely expected that the 23-year-old will be taking a step back from the team moving forward after he was placed on the sidelines at the PGL Major Stockholm.

"In the midst of the joy of having the team in place, I would like to emphasize my and the organization's huge respect for Danny, Emil, and Peter," Astralis Director of Sports, Kasper Hvidt, said. "They are true legends in Astralis and will always be first in the history books when our story is written."

k0nfig and blameF join Astralis following a tumultuous tenure in Complexity, who disbanded last month after they were unable to find stability in the roster for months, in part due to the former's untimely wrist injury during the off-season. They will be looking to get a fresh start after leaving the Dallas-based organization, with whom they won BLAST Premier Spring 2020 Europe Finals but otherwise struggled for deep runs over a two-year period.

"When Astralis calls, you need really good arguments to hang up, and the conversations I've had confirm my impression: This is where I want to be now and going forwards," blameF said. "These are some huge shoes to fill in, but I also feel I can bring something new to the team and make a real difference."

The move will see blameF give up leadership, a role he undertook for the past two years in Complexity: "I am excited to play with gla1ve, one of the very best in-game leaders in the world. It means I can concentrate more on my own game and become a better player for myself and my teammates."

"I have tremendous respect for everything Astralis has achieved through the years, and I am very aware we are taking over after some extremely popular players," k0nfig added. "It only motivates me even more! Naturally, we are not those guys, but we are here to build on what they have achieved and to take the next big steps in the Astralis journey."

Astralis will field the following six at the BLAST Premier Fall Final from November 24-28:

Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander
Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth
Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen
Philip "⁠Lucky⁠" Ewald
Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer
Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke

Omg!

2021-11-10 10:47

magisk is a great rifler with great understanding of nade lineup (the thing that complete Astralis tactical playstyle back in 2018) xyp9x is hardcore anchor that play only in specific part of maps with great clutching decision lucky is AWPer, nothing more nothing less, with potential (but in tier 1 pro scene, nothing called potential bc you must perform right now) blameF is better secondary IGL than magisk, and he is like the second xyp9x for another part of maps. i can imagine blameF and xyp is two extremum and the rest just entry and AWPing based on gla1ve call

2021-11-06 04:25

This will be a fantastic lineup. Just wait and see!

2021-11-07 11:08

I really hope so.... but I really don't think so. :(

ok fair enough. Then add Jabbi and Roej as well

2021-11-04 16:58

Cphf are staying the same after the major. They want to prove themselves even more than they already have.

2021-11-05 14:38

+1 and I hope they do! They've been so much fun to watch lately.

2021-11-06 05:14

No, you won't.

2021-11-05 02:31

And why not? It seems to me, that sweden is not being serious about putting their best talents into 1 org, so an all-swedish super-roster is not happening anytime soon. Denmark overproduce E-sport talents, considering our size, and the scandinavic tongue is fairly similar so language barriers would be manageable to break down if they don't want to go english. I'm not undermining the Swedish talent there is, i'm saying that the density is not high enough. So why won't we? We have all the prerequisites.

2021-11-05 12:53

Fnatic will continue limping the coming months, KRIMZ will get his head on the chopping block and Brollan will go to NiP. Then we got some young Swedish talent together:)

2021-11-05 18:20

You danish people try too hard to overthrow the swedes but they will always be on top in CS, in every iteration. By a lot.

Lmao Astralis has the same amount of major as nip and fnatic combined and danish cs produce so much more talent than swedish cs scene now

2021-11-06 09:31

cs dates from early 2000s in case you're a pubescent kid and mTw was nowhere near the entire swedish scene back then like TSM wasn't with NIP/Fnatic till late 2016/7. Got like... 4 years of dominating the 4th iteration of cs against easily 7-8 years in between? bih please... They will always be on top at this game, Mad respect for the best country in this game.

2021-11-07 00:57

yes i said NOW danish cs is producing better talents than sweden, in the last 3-4years sweden hasnt provided the csgo denmark has.

plopski isnt playing entry though

2021-11-04 20:29

LNZ was I saw. But Plopski came to NIP as entry

2021-11-04 23:14

Ye, they should really remove plopski now though. Maybe LNZ too, but plopski has to go

LNZ is young lad, he can grow but Plopski was there when GTR was there. its high time for him to go.

2021-11-04 23:38

Indeed, LNZ has potential plopski has been bad for like 80% of their games this year

2021-11-04 23:41

Kinda havent seen him play great like in a long time. Flashes of great. but thats it.

2021-11-04 23:43

Exactly this. When he came he was tearing up the server. He's just dropped off a cliff though, and hasn't come back up ever since

2021-11-05 00:08

True this. LNZ is a talented, but young and unexperienced guy. Who has room to grow. Plopski looks stuck.

2021-11-04 23:50

2021-11-04 10:46

bad bait

2021-11-04 11:16

2021-11-04 14:45

why

What does nip want to do with the 30 yo

2021-11-04 10:26

Actually win games.

2021-11-04 15:03

I think dupreeh wants to play with his friend es3tag and maybe magisk will also join them

2021-11-04 10:32

Yeah absolutely. dupreeh instead of LNZ, but dunno about magisk

2021-11-04 10:38

If they go into an entire new route which they could. Dupreeh, es3tag, magisk(igl), Valde(if OG disband), awper(acor?) I doubt dupreeh has much faith in bubzki though so probably - him. There could be good homes awaiting for them or they could very well start a new roster.

2021-11-04 11:02

exactly. Could also see them making a new crazy danish lineup. They won't have a hard time finding a new team at least

2021-11-04 16:57

To Vitality. Isn't it?

Oh, thanks

2021-11-04 13:18

pretty sure he's only a temporary coach but I could be wrong, I guess flair checks out

How is my flair relevant to what I said? Btw judging by your replies, your flair checks out as well

I meant my flair checked out with me if I was wrong

Hahaha

2021-11-04 10:27

change to my flair mens, suit you very nicely!

He's only stepping in for the major I think. Zonic > xizt for sure though

2021-11-04 10:24

Isn't he gonna join Vitality as per news?

2021-11-07 05:14

Apparently so, what a twist

2021-11-07 11:09

Yeah people here seems totally oblivious to the news.

2021-11-07 15:33

oh shitttttttt, astralis back to top1 now BlameF not igl'ing gonna be OP now

sheesh

Wow the post major shuffle just started

sheeeeesh

Pog

GOD DAMN BOY

2 IGL? But gla1ve > baitF

13 replies

He said he doesn't wanna IGL anymore

finally

I never get these posts. I have a huge respect for people having to IGL, because nobody else wants to. Pretty sure most would prefer to just play and don't have the responsibility. So yeah, it might not work out, but I can hardly blame (hehe) him.

2021-11-07 00:00

glave igl. blamef going to full focus on him.

BaitF will just bait now

BlameF said he wasn't keen on IGLing any more when he left Complexity

2021-11-04 10:18

BaitF will focus exclusively on baiting

lol +1

2021-11-04 11:11

2021-11-04 11:43

2021-11-04 19:33

Not anymore, Blame will play exactly how Gla1ve s ass wants.He is not the boss anymore.

2021-11-05 12:59

I hope so

2021-11-05 16:36

Blamef was never igl besidws complexity, because noone else steped up to the role, or no?

2021-11-04 12:29

AAAAAAAAAAAA

woah

would be good but not instead of magisk,dupreeh,zonic wtf

Snake k0nfig

CoL kicked him and take coldzera

broooo wtf WHY KICK MAGISK???!!

He probably chose to leave

oh yeah that would make sense hope well see them around soon

2021-11-04 10:35

I hope he takes a little break, not for long but to be in a good mental place before jumping to new team. Because he has not been the same as normally and of course has been a long hard journey with Astralis the past 1,5 years. When he comes back I hope it's vintage Magisk, he could replace olof on FaZe, they play very similar gamestyles on CT side

2021-11-04 10:45

They both choose to leave probably

still wonder if they were forced to it or it was long term decision cuz the atralis konfig leaks were here like a month ago

2021-11-04 10:36

I doubt they where forced, that makes no sense with players like them

sad

so dupreeh to nip?

already bought an apartment in sweden , so likely to happen

It also depends on their results in playoff, is it a dmart idea to bench some1 after getting to the finals for e?

not smart but still possible

People say LNZ is the replaceable one but Dupreeh can easily replace Plopski tbh

2021-11-04 12:15

hm, dev1ce dupreeh magisk rez hampus (he can igl or was lnz caller latley?)

hampus has been calling since twist and nawwk, although i think he gave ztr a couple games

It would be great to see part of Astralis getting back again on NIP. But, +magisk is not happening anytime soon. :(

2021-11-04 14:40

2021-11-04 14:41

Judging by the latest matches, the one most likeable to go is Plopski. And changing 2 players which got you through the major in this manner, would be such a demotivation for the rest of the team.

2021-11-04 14:43

I dont think so, dev1ce would be happy I guess (maybe he even forces it) and rez and hampus wouldnt mind playing with magisk and dupreeh I guess

Magisk, as far as I know, does not speak Swedish, thus being there a language barrier.

2021-11-04 14:48

Language barrier would be gone in a month. Languages are so similar that you just need to get a hang of it

2021-11-04 21:51

Source?

-LNZ +Dupreeh NIP will be able to challenge NAVI

2021-11-04 10:29

big moves i wonder where magisk will go, dupreeh def going NIP.

23 replies

Probably,-lnz +dupreeh

Lnz is getting better with more impact. Would make more sense now to -plopski

-plopski and lnz +Dupreeh and magisk

2021-11-04 10:49

No then you would have to change to danish flag and that's not an option for nip.

2021-11-04 11:14

Times change, fnc uk flag, g2 serbian flag

2021-11-04 12:31

Wdym? Nip changing their flag to Brazil in valo why not change flag in cs?

2021-11-04 12:39

and MIBR to USA flag

2021-11-04 13:09

Magisk doesn't know Swedish at all, so i doubt. Plus, it doesn't match with roles.

2021-11-04 12:47

magisk on cphf

not bad and theres probably going to be a big org buying that cphf roster aswell i wonder who it will be

11 replies

it's just an idea but i think they don't gonna have a roster moveo n CPHF.

Think again. Thats literally cph business plan and always has been. Form new roster, start having results, sell players/entire team, rinse repeat.

2021-11-04 12:32

just complexity have the money for buy an entire roster.... but it's look like complexity\ gonna build around coldnoobera. a good move for magisk ? Faze ? NiP? dupreeh same on nip ? or faze with magisk ? CPHF if their specialty it's to sel lroster and take young players, no benefits to take dupreeh and magisk so.

2021-11-04 13:02

Even if they had no plans on selling(which they do), here is no reason to change anyone besides igl.

2021-11-04 13:20

who is the IGL on CPHF ?

2021-11-04 13:25

hooxi

2021-11-04 13:27

2021-11-04 17:04

this roster may make an old org make a comeback, like TSM

2021-11-04 11:03

Or SK.

2021-11-04 13:03

iirc SK don't want to involve themselves in "controversial" esports anymore like CS:GO (theme about terrorism), so them coming back is very improbable

2021-11-04 13:23

dupreeh and magisk to south

2021-11-04 12:56

LMAO Astralis Tier4

The rest of what is worth left, good for them

LMAO

wtf just happened

dupreeh come to OG

Rip

2021-11-04 10:43

epic

No more Dupreeh or magisk, that’s the core gone

so no more 5_majors?((((

2021-11-04 12:41

the org will perhaps but not all the players

2021-11-04 20:42

end of an era, start of new one?

Expected. I guess Blamef got kicked as he was already in discussion with Astralis

+1 that was my thoughts exactly when i saw him going to Ast.

2021-11-04 12:12

OMG This is happening, but it would be better to just kick all 9 Astralis players and buy CPH Flames Lmao

lol or buy cpf andd then have two astralis(not talent) teams under same org and both competing in the same tournaments if they both reach finals then guaranteed first and second place money for astralis org

2021-11-04 13:15

200 IQ

2021-11-04 14:24

That's cool.

Wtf....

Wow

they signed xypex to release magisk ? HAHA WTF, worst deal in the history of deals ever

magisk and dupreeh didn't want to sigh a new contract

why not magisk

2021-11-04 10:25

because they both want to win tournaments unlike gla1ve and xyp9x

I think magisk would have better chances with astra then his next team Imagine : Magisk Es3tag Blamef Konfig Gla1ve

Ok i guess im gonna take the awp

2021-11-04 11:26

well, thats sad but i think they had good reasons.

Playing with 2 bots xypex and lucky comes to mind

2021-11-04 15:08

Holy fuck naaasty new lineup

Still no good AWPer.

give Lucky time , his first ever LANs were with Astralis and he never played on T1 before. He will get better , he has had his moments and shown that he can be good

lucky will be the next to go or just remain back-up.

like i said , he deserves to be given some time. Dont forget that he also has had a dysfunctioning team around him with uncertain futures of the players , which wont be the case anymore. Rooom to grow now

yeah, it was gla1ve and xyp9x under performing.

Xyp will pull through. Xyp had mentioned in one of his clutch videos inputs from team makes him better at clutching. And gla1ve and lucky both said lucky communication is lack lustrous. So until lucky communication doesn't improves. Xyp will struggle a bit.

2021-11-04 10:33

2021-11-04 10:31

wtf lol

Why -dupreeh? Wtf

Probably Dupreeh didn't want to sign.

2021-11-04 14:04

magisk, dupreeh and bubz. Three good players without any team. I think another danish team can be made edit: bubz is still listed as the sixth player...maybe they are waiting for an org to buy him out

Another one

They are ready to transfer bubz now.

2021-11-04 10:34

Bubzkji good? He was good in Mad Lions tier 2 team

2021-11-04 11:19

poor bubzkji

Bots gone now they have a chance to be top5 team

Bots stayed, now they go to pinnacle/home sweet home cups

Come on, let's go boysssss!!!!

BaitF ? Respect bubzki please

lmao what??

Oh my god, back to #1 for sure.

Rip astralis gone but not forgotten

sick move, bubzkji should just go tho RUN

End of an era...

-bubzkji already, get him out of the cage

Great, kick the Lucky and everything is great

RIP Astralis, they will never win anything again

2021-11-04 11:28

HOLY SHIT

Good move

dupreeh :(((((

lmfao

dupreeh and Magisk are their top players? WTF is this change

they didn't want to play for Astralis anymore So they didn't sign a new contract

Dupree to Nip confirmed?!?

RIP legendary core 4 majors GOAT era, that seemed to last forever, has came to an end, F Benchzkji would be 6th bench warmer again kkkkk

+1 +1 ouch

2021-11-04 10:51

who needs device.... well this roster is really not bad. T1 team definetly

They should add es3tag again, he was very good in Astralis

Dupreeh, es3tag, magisk, bubzkji and awp Zonic coach New era begins

Dupreeh is gone, he is on his way to NIP. Beside that Xyp9x just signed a new deal with Astralis.

i think he's talking about a new danish team that could possibly happen

In that case, yes that would be a nice roster. Just needs a good AWP player added to it.

Se instead of xyp3

Imagine there ppl still talking about es3bot hahahahha Was full bot in first heroic roster -> completely ruin c9 -> completely ruin coL

2021-11-04 11:53

Just look his record at Astralis, with him in the team - even though it was only a short time - they did well.

2021-11-04 14:37

Expected, very good players, now dupreeh will replace LNZ or Plopski in NiP but let's see where Magisk will end up, hopefully FaZe

dupreeh 100% retired magisk to liquid, replacing stewie2k. stewie2k to valorant.

Dupreeh going to nip

noo, I don't want stewie2k to leave, he's fun

-Grim +Magisk This is better

2021-11-04 18:38

yes +1

2021-11-04 20:00

Damn, NIP Dupreeh confirmed

It is a really strange Astralis now. Lets hope Magisk and Dupreeh find a better place, with zonic.

Wtf I didn't expect this at all

holy shit

Holy moly

Holy shit

Magisk where you going man :'(

Faze ? If Olof Retires Mouz ? If he wants to IGL then -dexter -acor +torzsi + magisk

2021-11-04 12:35

value

the org who gets Zoinc , gonna be top 3 for sure

what iif he retires

2021-11-04 10:23

he wont

MAGISK WHYY

No one talking about dupreeh not being there. When is NiP announcing him? Tomorrow or after major is over for them? Ah, thats also tomorrow...

WTFFFFFFFFFF

The Danish Dream

RIP

Kick lucky get nicoodoz major 2022 winners official

wtf? Magisk and dupreeh?

Very Pog My favorite duo Konfig + GODF, can't wait to see them play.

Nip Dupreeh

Wow Ave legend from 1.6 is backKkk

Ave maria cool guy

Just kick lucky and next season Astralis number 2 team after Gambit

this guy is a prophet hltv.org/forums/threads/2535966/astralis..

10/10 XD

not expected tbh

adding k0nfig was good but adding magisk was the only reason they started winning anything and had an era astralis is ded jks lollipop21k magisk jkaem lots of good free agents we could see a proper team come out of this spirit has been dominating dota and want to rebuild a cs team that does the same

LOOOL

Its the end of an era

letsgooooo

Replace Lucky with Nicoodoz and you have new number 1 team

-Lucky +WolfY or +Farlig -Xyp +Jabbi EZ 10 Majors

AstraLUL

The end of an era. Respect to the multiple-major champions, that lineup won't be forgotten.

g0dfig is good addiction but baitF :((

Baitf have a superb aim, he just bad igl

2021-11-04 11:54

addiction

yup, my bad XD

2021-11-04 21:41

Why -magisk?

BlameF and Magisk role conflict.

If NiP becomes 3/5 danish.. Well then Sweden no longer have a CS team in the top. #RIPSWEDISHCS

I'd rather have 5 different Swedish players on each of them on 5 different successful teams than having 5 Swedish players on a team which is struggling against T2 scenes. That's why it was actually better to have olof on Faze when they were major finalist than fnatic who couldn't even find their mojo back.

Force the danish players to get swedish citizenship. That would be okay and solve my issue. :D

Haha, that is actually not a bad idea! :D +1

HYPE!

Just disband and get cph

AVE has a 2 year ban at valve events, so i supose zonic will replace him at majors (well, if they qualify)

Won't help,Astralis days long gone

Thats not my Astralis any longer :( Good luck to Zonic, Dupreeh & Magisk wish you the best :)

We had to accept that some day. Never expected it to happen this soon.

It's not only you...many fans left with device and after today many more will stop supporting 'Astralis'. Personally I'm going with dupreeh and I wish these three stay together.

2021-11-04 11:01

dead team

This team is legendary, alot of major winning potential sheesh! astralis back bby!

Lucky, Bubzki and Xyp9x are still there. Guess they couldn’t keep Dupreeh. Might still have firepower issues but at least you’re changing enough parts to force you to adapt to a new style.

Magisk and dupreeh, hope we can still see them rolling in T1, good players i need to watch.

WHAT????

Blazztralizzz.. most boooring

I can actually like astralis now

blamef too? I hope he keeps his mouth shut

He is too muscular to let glaive lead.

2021-11-04 10:54

wait what

2021-11-04 10:30

KEKW tier 2

Magisk???

Finally something

why baitF

Omg WHAT

very good

Bubzkji⁠ forever 6th, no brain man...

AYOOO

incredible

End of an era. Sad to see.

it ended with devve already

Very exciting. More firepower. Thanks dupreeh, magisk and zonic for everything

Wtf why -Magisk((

Dupreeh to NIP propably if he goes there i guess Magisk also . So where is the Point if this bot Device went to NIP i then after few month bring to this org his former Players ?

Maybe because the org Astralis sucks, who knows

2021-11-04 12:57

Nip dupreeh confirmation after champions stage.

BIGGEST NEWS HOLY SH#T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zonic, dupreh, magisk gone????? Guys I need a minute.

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

2021-11-04 10:37

FAZE +MAGISK

Now this is a sick team. The old roster just doesn't work anymore. I don't know what bubzjki doing there, he's never going to get a spot on main roster. Now CoL can built another juggernaut with magisk, or magisk can go to faze replacing olof. He's got some experience play on international roster. And then I assume dupreeh will go to NiP.

Good bye legend!

Magisk cannot go to Nip since he doesn't speak Swedish like Dupree can.

Very unexpected, but the question is: will they make it work?

2021-11-04 10:39

magisk is like fnx . no babygodmagisk no major

2021-11-04 10:40

Byee flairs

lool

2021-11-04 10:41

imagine if they still had device instead of lucky. ffs why..

I mean given their current form and how weak Magisk looked this major I'd say this is a step in the right direction. but Lucky has to truly develop into an insane player then.

Astralis are done, new sk gaming

2021-11-04 10:42

need to change lucky

wtf where magisk

2021-11-04 10:44

-Xyp9x +Bubzkji

Why Zonic ?

Astralis wins next major easily

Rip Magisk

Astralis will come back stronger just a matter of time give them a finger they will take the whole arm

AVE AVE AVE youtu.be/NX0CyONSebM

What The Hell Just Happend...

I hope Faze will do everything in their power to get Zonic on board, they need that guy.

they have 3 igl...?

??? gla1ve igl

2021-11-04 11:24

yes mens noww no one will be able to outplay them, 3 igl>>>>>> 1 igl their strats will destroy every team in existence lol just jokingg, blamef isn't going to igl gal1ve will

2021-11-04 13:30

pog

2021-11-04 10:47

WHAt

suddenly

6 majors incoming

so dupreeh coming to nip after major?

2021-11-04 11:00

He is washed but anyday dupreeh > plopski,lnz,hampus

2021-11-04 11:55

he will retire

Wow wow wow.Super team comeback))

Called it, didn't I? Hehe.

Blamef will ruin astralis, calling it right now his rating will drop significantly because he no longer be able to play around himself

Nope, if gla1ve puts him in the entry role, he will be good, remember his time as entry in heroic?

The end of Astralis has finally happened. The two D's are out. Magisk is out. Zonic is out. This is no longer the team which has won four majors.

2021-11-04 10:55

For me it ended with Dev leaving, but such is life and I'm looking forward to see what this change will bring!

2021-11-04 10:59

Expected

the photo background of Astralis office looks fucking good ngl

2021-11-04 10:56

Give Lucky some time. He is freaking 18.

2021-11-04 10:57

+1!

b1t too and what? this is esport not sport, lucky just trash, they wasting time with him

different position i guess. all eyes on lucky bc he has to shine like device. at least everybody force him to shine.

2021-11-05 22:41

need to change flair asap

2021-11-04 10:58

What a crazy move holy shit blameF and k0nfig are sick together, Lucky showed some promising moments at the Major, but what worries me about the prospects of this team is that gla1ve and Xyp9x have been out of their prime for a really lnog time now, and I can't imagine them coming back to their past levels of play. Fact of the matter is that when Astralis were dominating the world, they were doing it with all 5 players posting miraculous numbers and having the entire team in the top 20 ranking, but now that gla1ve's and ESPECIALLY Xyp's individual performances have been on a steep slope for months, I still can't see how they can win a stacked tournament against the likes of NAVI, Gambit, G2, NIP or even Heroic for that matter.

gla1ve did pretty well at the major wdym

2021-11-04 13:32

Imagine signing blamef

Signing BlameF is good, signing BaitF not so much :D

2021-11-04 11:09

I hope Dupreeh will find a new home

Could go to NIP that would be dope though I don't think there is a team that interests dupreeh the most right now more than NIP

2021-11-04 11:07

This is probably an upgrade, but likely not that huge. On the other hand they will still struggle because of weak awper. I don't expect Lucky to improve a lot and honestly having weak awper is no go in T1 CS nowadays (look at NaVi, Gambit, Vitality, NiP... ). By the way baitF is not IGLing then? I am curious how will that go... Dupreeh will find home quickly. Magisk likely aswell, but it would not surprise me to see him in some lesser danish team.

2021-11-04 11:05

OMG

ok that was a bit unexpected

bro no way ill miss the robots' original roster :(

next 3 months... Astralis part way with your counter strike team and move to valorant.... The GUilt... Device off course !

I cry :(

HOLY FCKING SHIT

what a terrible roster honestly

you are doing well

Imagine kicking the best coach of all time before his contact expires, Astralis Management at its best, he could have prepped the new team for two months...

remove xyp9x for an actual tier1 player and these guys have a chance.

For real I don't think keeping Xyp would be a good idea for Astralis, keeping gla1ve as an igl is understandable, but Xyp kinda weird tbh guy is no longer the clutch minister we all knew

2021-11-04 11:15

best Astralis ever incoming. OMG HYPE IS REAL! Can't wait to see them play together :))

2021-11-04 11:12

Two goats left Two beasts joined +/-0, but new astralis look top5 already for sure. OH shit Blamef wont igl now.. Hmm.

OMAGAD WHATS HAPPENING I WAS HERE

2021-11-04 11:13

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

expected looking forward to see what they can do

Considering Gla1ve and Xyp9, are part of the problem, i feel sorry for K0nfig and BlameF

Dupreeh NIP? - Plopski /LNZ Magisk OG? New Complexity?

2021-11-04 11:22

-Plopski -LNZ +Dupreeh +Magisk NiP: Device Dupreeh Magisk REZ Hampus

2021-11-04 12:05

then NIP top1

2021-11-04 14:23

+1 agreed

What a sick

Sick line-up

2021-11-04 15:26

Wow!

2021-11-04 11:23

Kicked 2 best players XD

I'm so shocked.

2021-11-04 11:25

-bubz -lucky +nicoodoz top1 again

Probably the best comment I read today!

2021-11-04 15:14

Actually sick. I hope to see : zonic, dupreeh, magisk, nicoodoz, roej, zyphon. => coL

That would actually be amazing

2021-11-04 17:43

kekw

Holy crap this s gonna be nuts

expected

2021-11-04 11:27

F for Magisk, Dupreeh, and zonic

2021-11-04 11:29

End of an era, now kick lucky and get literally anyone else and you might have a decent team.

god kronow to astralis

2021-11-04 12:03

Lets fookiin gooo astralis #1 go bencehd xyp

2021-11-04 11:30

WAT

Yes bro its true :(

2021-11-04 11:33

Fuxkign POG

2021-11-04 11:31

For me Astralis has allways come across as a team that values team spirit and good comradeship. I hope K0nfig has matured or this could get ugly. And for the record I think Dupreeh was the one with biggest talent. Mechanicaly better than rest of the team. A beast no matter what gun he plays with. But he seem tired of the game lately...

2021-11-04 11:32

Fuuuuuck, Magisk is also gone? Sad to see But EZ for 1.6 legend GOD AVE.

Was a good successfull run but Astralis might as well disband now

My boy dupreeh where are you going now :(

2021-11-04 11:34

omg i told you guys blamef will join astralis

RIP astralis

2021-11-04 11:36

called this, lets go astralis

To be fair, only time will tell what this can do to Astralis. It might bring new energy to Xyp9x and give Gla1ve new strat possibilities. Sad to see Zonic leaving tho.

Poggers

2021-11-04 11:39

cool 6 roster again cmon wake up please volvo only allow 5

2021-11-04 11:42

Pretty exciting :)

2021-11-04 11:44

Woah!! Big news like no one saw it coming as soon as k0nfig leaves.

2021-11-04 11:46

they really announced this conviniently just after hltv confirmed huh

The end of Astralis

2021-11-04 11:51

twitter.com/Thorin/status/14562051740962.. AXAXAXAXAXAXA

no surprise, twofaced team

Big! Should have kept either dup or magisk though

2021-11-04 11:52

xyp9x has to go out aswell

End of the era Hopeful for the new one 🤞

Will be the same. No chance for big trophies

2021-11-04 11:58

they actually kicked them but do not say it out

unexpected

2021-11-04 12:00

Won't even qualify for next major

2021-11-04 12:01

Great move, Konfig and Blame are world class players who deserve to be in such a renowned line up. I don't see how the IGL situation will be because gla1ve and Blame are both great IGL's. Xyp is a little washed imo, we'll need to see how he performs...

2021-11-04 12:02

WOOOOOOOOOO FUCK YEAH Oh damn, sad to see Magisk and dupreeh leave

2021-11-04 12:04

could work

R.I.P.

2021-11-04 12:06

thats actually huuuuuge, blamef not igl is a massive upgrade, cuz he is one of the most underrated in terms of raw aim, player in top tier currently but like most, he gor crippled when he started to make calls

Thank you very much guys for what you did for CS !

2021-11-04 12:07

COME ON STOP FUCKING BUBBER UP!!! LET HIM PLAY!!!!

2021-11-04 12:08

Okay okay dont know what to say :)

Really would of liked Dupreeh or magisk instead of xyp, but still hyped

2021-11-04 12:10

WUT

i mean they should have benched glaive and let dupreeh play

2021-11-04 12:11

Oh mann... U really think that Astralis said to dupreeh and magisk goodbye and kick them? It was their decision 100%.

2021-11-04 15:02

Good, astralis looks like dog shit atm so any change is a good change

fan -1 Astralis needed firepower and got it. Even though k0nfig is a good additional game wise, his massive ego is not suitable for Astralis. They should have taken es3tag back instead of Xyp9x for sure.

whattttttttttttt ps: good luck ave, i definitely respect cs 1.6 legends

2021-11-04 12:13

I guess dupreeh, magisk and zonic didn't want to stay since device left. Understandable.

I’m begging for faze dupreeh not faze magisk. I think magisk is one of the most overrated players of all time.

This is fantastic news indeed! The legendary duo will be replaced with a newer duo and Dupreeh/Magisk can restart their careers elsewhere. :D Best of luck to all of the players and I wish them all the best.

FINALLY

ok nice

A new start Good luck I hope blameF dosent rule out gla1ve Magisk and dupreeh nip with zonic Goodbye LNZ , Plopski and threat

Biggest transfer so far considering importance

Should’ve kept either dup or magisk instead of xyp imo

2021-11-04 12:17

expected, good move. don't let blame be a bitch tho, keep glaive in leaderhsip

i see a NIP with more danish DNA in the near future. just a question how much! I would like to see a mixed Swe/Den-powerhouse of CS. If Russians and Ukranians can do it with succes, then i am pretty sure they can manage it too.

2021-11-04 12:19

I was a big critic of blameF IGL, but I hope/think he does well here without the pressure and can learn a lot from gla1ve

2021-11-04 12:20

Who will IGL ?? IMO it should be gla1ve. BlameF has such good aim. He could focus on popping heads

Not even a question it will be Gla1ve. He will set up the team to be built around these 2, allowing BlameF to still play the same type of style where he either lurks and feeds info to Gla1ve or the last guy in on the push

nice. thanks

2021-11-04 12:38

The official end of Astralis

2021-11-04 12:21

Why? They brought two of the best players in the world.. ?? HUGE upgrade.

Fucking INSANE!

dupreeh and Magisk to NiP please.

Complexity Magisk Dupreeh Coldzera Bubskji Probably re sign jks Zonic coach OR OG shuffle as well Gets magisk , dupreeh and zonic ALEKSI MANTUU FLAMES MAGISK DUPREEH ZONIC

2021-11-04 12:34

Bad fix XD

2021-11-04 14:27

I know but teams need players Right now 2 good orgs have options Complexity Spirit We can even see OG shuffle cus of the mixed results

2021-11-05 06:14

BIG NEWS!!!!! AVE MY MAN, WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF ASTRALIS Konfig and BlameF???? POG GG to Magisk and Dupreeh <3 Zonic <3

2021-11-04 12:33

Tbh it would be a good time for Dupreeh to retire as he has pretty much won everything he can and he’s 28 now, and as for magisk idk which team he would go to

you might be right with dupreeh but I hope he can find motivation from a new project, he's probably the goat/most impactful entry fragger and is still far from being washed. Also as a pro CS career rarely lasts too long into your 30's, surely you milk the paychecks for as long as you can.

2021-11-05 06:23

This makes me a fan of Astralis. NEW ERA

wow :o

Probably dupreeh to NIP? Would be kinda cool tbh. Not sure why people preach he has to quit because he achieved everything. Maybe he can set new goals and get hungry again from a new project. Magisk no idea.. faze to replace olof maybe?

Love this new astralis

2021-11-04 12:37

this is the end of astralis at tier 1 level, what is this team.. why keeping xyp and having gla1ve and blamef, this line up probably just one event

KONFIG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL guy is so washed up, surely this is the end of astralis

2021-11-04 12:43

Reported retard

2021-11-04 14:30

lmao shouldn't you be busy leaf blowing at this time of year

2021-11-04 16:49

Shouldn't you be busy passing out on ket, also im fakeflagging also you're calling k0nfig washed you're provably clueless + you're white unlike your teeth + ratiod

2021-11-04 22:06

"ratioed" thanks for confirming you have the intelligence of Harvey Price

2021-11-04 22:30

Dupreeh to NiP, magisk to Heroic?

2021-11-04 12:44

History being written here. Official end to the best core in history.

Completely stupid to let go of zonic, hate it.

2021-11-04 12:45

Rip Astralis. Tier 3 now.

2021-11-04 12:50

How can you choose to stay with Xyp9x and let Dupreeh and Magisk go? This is ABSOLUTELY a poor choice. Astralis literay gave up their 2 best fraggers

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2021-11-04 12:55

wow

Can't support Astralis anymore with Konfig ! They have plenty of soooooo strong and young players (Roej, Jaabi, stavn, Teses ...) and the take Konfig ! and keep xyp9x !!!

The most shocking part for me is zonic leaving. I can't imagine Astralis without zonic.

2021-11-04 12:58

zywoo made them disband, what a legend

2021-11-04 13:01

CoL Will buy CPH Flames, Zonic and magisk Will go to CPH Flames, with es3tag, bubzkji + valde and Niko from OG Dupreeh go to Nip, Lnz out Coldzera goes to OG, with peacemaker , and Jks join to them. Ez. Thanks.

2021-11-04 13:00

lnz isnt the problem in nip, he has huge impact. If some1 it should be plopski.

2021-11-04 13:14

So sad for CoL

This looks great actually. blameF doesn't have to IGL and is a great rifler, k0nfig also made good progress in CoL. For the first time in years, I'm curious to watch Astralis.

+1 blameF as a player only is a good fit, also k0nfig like u said has been solid entry in complexity.

2021-11-04 13:13

2021-11-04 16:14

what realy

wow.

OMG AVE LEGEND I MISSED UUU K0NFIG LE'TS GOOO

2021-11-04 13:04

G2 Zonic???

Downgraded. Best two players leaving. Dupreeh to Nip is real.

2021-11-04 13:07

The official end of the Astralis era.

2021-11-04 13:08

Confirmed after Device leave

Ended with device leaving.

2021-11-04 13:26

already ended when gla1ve and xyp took a break at their peak, shit decision

2021-11-04 16:28

Astralis ruin the career of Bubzkji⁠

2021-11-04 13:10

meh zonic gone

ave Pog

I hope they don’t do anymore of that 6 man roster stuff

with bubzki on bench

Change your team name pls. No more astralis

imagine joining a dead team :D

3 new players within 3 months. What u talkin about? Xyp, ok he has worse year, but they still have glaive and with more firepower (blame,konfig) they still have a chance for winnings tournaments. Astralis in this year was losin almost everything only cause they lost their aim duels, almost everytime. Magisk was a beast, dupreeh also but this year showed that they have no motivation probably and need to change something. 3 new players and u talkin shit about dead team xd

2021-11-04 15:06

Not even a top 10 next year

2021-11-04 15:09

We will see, all teams over top5 are fluke and they are not consistent.

2021-11-04 18:06

POG Finally g0dfig and baitF going to Danish team 👍🏻

BANGER

What an absolute banger, Buying a jersey if they win a trophy.

end of an era, great additions though.

2021-11-04 13:29

Cold all alone in that col roster Kappa :(

Hello, Jason Lake here. I will build a good team, so don't worry. Cheers,

2021-11-04 13:34

Well, as a Complexity fan i wish nothing but the best to them. They were part of the Juggernaut that made us believe the team was up there playing with the best of the best. FInally blameF will be able to focus in fragging. He's a monster on it.

Imagine dupreeh and magisk instead of Xyp9x and bubzkij

2021-11-04 13:31

This is a godlike team incoming(kinda sad as a liquid fan) but astralis is now my number two favorite team. They can 100% beat Navi with this lineup

So officially RIP Astralis. Now i have to find another team to support.

2021-11-04 13:33

Support Complexity

i think compl have their own shit to deal with.

2021-11-04 16:21

Very unexpected to se magisk leave :O Dupreeh I thought might leave but prob not. This new lineup though looks very good on paper. I wonder where magisk and Dupreeh goes from here?

Ave <3 mTw legend.

2021-11-04 13:35

hard fraggers to hard fraggers, it's all about the chemistry now I would expect serious results and a completely different playstyle since ave was leading North and mTw back in the days

Damn. I mean device leaving already marked the end, but major shuffles just seal the deal. Astralis join the club of all great teams and the unavoidable cycle - be the best team, no core changes while every other team shuffles, stay at the top until that one turning point (in this case, it's their internal issues and devve leaving), then do a lot of shuffles just to barely stay in top 15, eventually fade into irrelevancy, make a small return like 5 years later, remain mediocre forever. It's comical how well this applies to the teams that have been on top. I just want to say that this is all that thot Emilia Hult's fault. She single-handedly ended the GOAT team. RIP Astralis. Seeing the unprescedented domination and level of tactics, strategy, teamplay and gamesense was still the best CSGO has seen.

2021-11-04 13:38

+1 one swedish girl where more lethal than all the male players combined

2021-11-04 16:25

2021-11-05 11:16

Daaamn,thats some fire moves right there

Holy crap they look awesome in those jerseys <3 Yummi!

2021-11-04 13:39

best duo

imagine CoL with -KennyS -Coldzera -duppreeh -Magisk -allu Zonic

Botzera retiring

2021-11-04 16:04

wtf

2021-11-04 13:40

Wonder how blameF will do without calling around himself. I can definitelly see him being useless. He had a similar role to xyp and I don't see the point of having xyp in the team if he isn't the lurker/clutcher which means that blame will have to completely change his playstyle. If you plan to give xyp's role to blame then might as well kick xyp and get someone more skilled.

2021-11-04 13:41

They shouldn’t have Xyp in the team, so i better hope they kick him

2021-11-04 13:48

lmfao such a clueless bot. blameF literally became known because of his star fragger abilities. Even rush said after leaving coL that he should be the star in a team and not the IGL. As for Xyp9x, the 2 of them legit shares 0 spots on any maps

2021-11-04 14:36

+1. It fits BlameF WAY more to be the star rifler than IGL. He'll step up big times 2022, just wait and see.

2021-11-04 14:46

blamef has been lurking for 2 years, xyp9x is a lurker, one of them will have to change their roles

2021-11-04 15:39

Wtf worst move. It won't work

why lucky still in roaster, but you kick dupreeh... what wrong with you astralis?

2021-11-04 13:42

Who said that they kicked him? They jsut didnt resign contracts and thats it. Maybe dupreeh and magisk need new motivation, new team like device. But device migrate cause Emilia pussy, and how it ended we all knows.

2021-11-04 13:56

Why do you think they kicked Dupreeh? It could quite simply be that he didn't sign a new contract offer because he's got other plans like Device.. we just don't know the details of that.. and Zonic said months ago that it might be time to move on to new stuff.. we just don't know right now IMO

Dayum, that's a lot of firepower and brain in one team!

2021-11-04 13:45

2021-11-04 13:50

HOLY SHIT NEW DANISH SUPERTEAM???

2021-11-04 13:51

This team looks so sick, Astralis era inc

2021-11-04 14:02

It certainly has all the potential pieces to have an era. Only think I don't know is who would entry frag? Cause I don't know if K0nfig did that a lot in Col after RUSH left, but maybe I'm mistaken.

2021-11-04 15:10

this is the end of astralis for sure, sad

2021-11-04 13:54

Eeeh, konfig has best mechanics in the entire scene, and has matured a ton in complexity. You should see him deathmatch. He often plays flickstyle with AK, never having proper crosshair placement, but relying on flick to head. It looks insane. k0nfig will become steady top 5 player. Now he has matured, he is a serious contender of being the best danish player. He has MUCH better aim than dev1ce, but lacks the experience. blameF is a smart guy, and have no trouble working his ass off. Never complained about it once, quite the contrary. I think blameF has gotten way too much flack.

2021-11-04 14:12

Agreed, personally I'm super excited. This gives me a reason to like them for the first time in a while, they have some personality now imo.

2021-11-04 15:11

k0nfig has become super likable. He was "fucked up" (his own words) for quite awhile. This changes people, and he utlized this opportunity perfectly to become a super positive person, while still keeping his "edge" intact.

2021-11-04 15:15

+1 My point exactly!

2021-11-04 15:29

blameF is the best on the server for a long long time. This is a clear upgrade whichever way you look at it

2021-11-04 15:53

I believe so too, but he has new role. It should make him even deadlier, but he is still treading into new territory, But I don't believe konfig is an improvement, I am absolute certain he is.

2021-11-04 16:53

Right, I am not sure about Konfig, but BlameF had been the best in the server

So we are opposite. They will both perform, and they will both assert themselves in the office instantly. It just came to me that unlike almost all other danish pro's, blameF became pro without being part of the semi-pro scene at all. It's quite amazing, and will surely bring new ways of thinking to the GOAT IGL's brain. Anyway, k0nfig and blameF's style are as different as night and day. One is relying mostly on raw mechanics, and a fearless approach, while the other mostly relies on outwitting his opposition, making mechanics less important. I can't wait. It feels like waiting for Xmas as a kid :D

2021-11-04 17:12

man, the end in terms of the end of an era, such big changes usually end badly in cs history

2021-11-04 18:33

man, the end in terms of the end of an era, such big changes usually end badly in cs history rip astralis for sure

I think you are talking from a point of view where you want them to go down, so their overall reputation isn't way above everyone elses. These two guys are insane fraggers, one using arguably the best mechanics in the scene, and the other using timing better than almost all other pros. They are both a huge upgrade. The loss which may hurt Astralis, is Zonic. Using tendencies to replace logical thinking, is lazy.

2021-11-05 21:12

polish virtus pro, u know? its over, astralis is over

2021-11-05 22:15

Astralis is still danish, and they have 3 players who will undoubtly perform at the highest level, and a possible unpolished gem (lucky) who soaks up information faster than any astralis player before him, and a guy (xyp9x) who, if he gets back into form, is a top player as well. I have hopes for lucky, and maybe xyp9x too. If the enthusiasm from blameF and konfig rubs off, I can easíly see him rise again. Once again, I believe that you use tendencies to replace logical thinking, which is lazy, despite it being more accurate than tossing a coin.

2021-11-05 22:22

Magisk can join any t1 team and he can be good igl.

fartF will drag them even lower

2021-11-04 13:57

Are you talking that guy who is higher ranked than any Swedish player? He is not IGL, and will be lurking his off, making easy kills all the time, wait and see.

2021-11-05 22:24

Delusional guy, don’t even bother. You are wasting my time.

2021-11-06 14:01

I guess im delusional, because you just wrote it on the internet. He is better than any Swede, sorry that i hurt your nationalistic feeling.

2021-11-06 18:38

Aww, are you sad now when I’m choosing not to debate this with you? You have 0 impact, go write a song instead.

2021-11-06 22:43

You need arguments to debate.

2021-11-06 23:08

Your life has zero highlights, besides this, trying to make a difference on a forum? Geee, I feel sorry for you peasant.

2021-11-07 00:43

Whatthefuck

2021-11-04 13:58

RIPBOZO #FlairWatch

indeed

Holy fuck Astralis are back. Konfig, best mechanics in the entire scene, blameF, best bait in the entire scene.... Lets fucking gooooo Magisk & Zonic will be missed though. But konfig is surely a step up compared to dupreeh.

2021-11-04 14:14

All due respect for ave but he isn't exactly the type of hypeman that zonic was.

2021-11-04 14:06

You didnt hear the news? Hype is illegal now. Thanks volvo

2021-11-04 16:56

lol, owned him

2021-11-04 18:43

RIP Astralis 4 Major Legends always :> :*

2021-11-04 14:07

Holy wow

Massive move, Astralis will be back in the top 5 in no time now!

2021-11-04 14:15

Maybe top 5 in muscle size

2021-11-04 14:33

no they will become in the top 5 danish teams

Both are improvements over dupreeh and magisk. Especially konfig, who will be the best danish player in about a year. Best mechanics ingame, doesn't have tilt problems, unlike dupreeh and isn't the slightest afraid of peeking anyone, zywoo and s1mple included. He is also a much better secondary AWP player than dupreeh. BlameF is a better secondary IGL than magisk, and he has a work ethic unlike no other pro in the scene. And he has proven to be able to frag hard. I think people just want astralis to fall even harder, so their overall reputation ins't as high as it is, still being way above any other teams rep, despite being thrash for a year or so.

2021-11-04 15:20

In Cs sometimes it doesn't matter how good you are in many things. Sometimes it matters that you belong in one thing to the best. Great support players are the best evidence. Cuz many of them could awp or go for entry but in a team you are the best in one thing so you do it. Dupreeh is such a case. And BlameF proved that he sucks as igl cuz he can play only 1 tactic and doesn't adjust it to the players in the team. Col failure goes all on him. When you compare it to aleksbi. OG fails cuz of the wrong team but not cuz of a 1 tactic igl..

if magisk/dupreeh joins nip, wil they speak a mix of swedish/danish or english

2021-11-04 14:16

Firstly, congrats! I think that glave and blamef&config out of tune. We will see.

2021-11-04 14:17

I wonder if complexity is involved in this swap deal

bubzkji getting cucked by astralis again lmao

2021-11-04 14:25

Baitsralis incoming

2021-11-04 14:26

over-rated lineup. much hype, but will probably underachieve and morph in various directions over the coming year(s).

BlameF makes no sense. The org made some shit decisions last 2 years and end with a mindexplosion

2021-11-04 14:32

ave -.-

2021-11-04 14:38

Astralis is new Fnatic, worse and worse from year to year. washed up lineup

Never was a fan of Astralis, but it's somewhat sad to see the entire team falling apart

2021-11-04 14:49

People will see how shit Blamef's stats really are when he's not baiting lmao gla1ve will not tolerate his bullshi

2021-11-04 14:50

2021-11-04 14:52

I expected -dupreeh but -magisk was very surprising((

2021-11-04 14:54

But Astralis isn’t good anymore, Magisk can do better

washed up tier3 org rip astralis

2021-11-04 14:55

asstralis top 1 now

meh glad that ave has another shot at coaching

God damn

2021-11-04 15:04

I truly hope Bubzkji finds another team soon bruh...

2021-11-04 15:05

glaive and blamef together ? i dont see it working

Yeah too much strong personalities and ego in the team now imo

2021-11-04 15:35

lol why take blamef????

Godf

2021-11-04 16:00

I don't think Asrtalis will ever get a major again. gg

2021-11-04 15:12

That's amazing! BlameF and k0nfig is a great duo, but losing dupreeh and magisk feels kinda weird... ;C

No more majors thank God Now Liquid can finally win

No Magisk? F

2021-11-04 15:16

WOWOWOOWOW

2021-11-04 15:17

holy shit this is pog as hell

2021-11-04 15:18

So they fired the best coach in the world ? .... ok So Xyp9x still on the team but they kick magisk ? Dupreeh i can see that he was not playing on the major

ave thought zonic how to coach I don't see it as a downgrade

2021-11-04 15:31

Magisk is trash

2021-11-04 15:36

He is still a good anchor player. But he had better days. I would say he need a break for 6 month. He seems tired

2021-11-04 15:58

He lacks motivation. He was very scary in 2018-19. Right now, he is inconsistent.

2021-11-04 18:17

+1 magisk so inconsistent, but i think better keep magisk than xyp.

2021-11-09 10:21

again why do you think they were kicked? Zonic talked about moving on months ago and Dupreeh might have other options and declined any contract offer

so many clueless people

2021-11-04 19:51

100% sure they didn't fire him. He left to get new inspiration or have a break from the game. He is a perfect fit for Heroic, and I see this as his new team. He shines in a familiar environment, and this is exactly what Heroic is. Their new owners are also fullblown gamers, and not just businessmen in shiny suits. Other teams might need him more than Heroic, but he needs Heroic more than he needs any other team. And at his level, he is the one picking his new employers, not the other way around.

2021-11-05 22:27

It will be interesting to watch these players in other teams' rosters after a long time.

2021-11-04 15:28

End of an era.

Astralis dead team now :/

End of an era

2021-11-04 15:41

astralis with lukcy wont accomplish anything

2021-11-04 15:42

2 igls but no awp

2021-11-04 15:46

Hard to find in Denmark. Only upgrade would be farlig when you want a talent Danish awp. Denmark top awp behind device doesn't exist atm.

2021-11-04 15:57

farling is good, maybe they dont wanna pay buyout for him

nicodooz although I'd stick with lucky

lul, why not: dupreeh gla1ve magisk blamef konfig would be much more better..

2021-11-04 16:05

2021-11-04 16:39

Maybe dupreeh and magisk didn't want to sign new contracts

2021-11-04 17:23

Wasn't Hunden their top option for coach?

2021-11-04 16:06

There were strong rumors about it prior to the Hunden Gate

2021-11-07 10:31

2021-11-04 16:08

the Titan is formed again

just add nicoodoz and u will have a very good lineup

2021-11-04 16:10

WTH STILL NO AWPER? LUCKY NOT BENCHED? WTGHHHHH

Glad everyone will have a friend, Gla1ve and Xyp, Konig Konig Blame and then Lucky and bubzkji

2021-11-04 16:11

add nico as an awp - bub / lucky

wtf.... nice lineup

2021-11-04 16:12

Spicy

ngl this move kinda bangs

2021-11-04 16:13

I am not really sure how to feel about this. K0nfig made sense, as it was clear Dupreeh was either retiring or maybe joining NiP. But, regardless of rating, I'm not sure I'm sold on BlameF for Magisk. Magisk is a much better team player than BlameF... I guess we'll see what happens. On paper this is an upgrade so I could be skeptical for no reason.

2021-11-04 16:15

WHAT DAMN

2021-11-04 16:19

now -Lucky +Bubz

2021-11-04 16:23

RIP the best trio of CS Xyp, dupreeh, and dev1ce

2021-11-04 16:24

RIP Astralis Era

2021-11-04 16:27

looks like a badass team. young talent, experience and a new hunger. upcomming legend-era part2

2021-11-04 16:32

2021-11-04 16:52

I read dumbass instead of badass ool

2021-11-04 17:28

wtf dupreeh and magisk? kick bubzki und luckie or whatever their irrelevant names are

Are you fucking retarded? They dont kick duppe and magisk you brainless silver. They dont want a new concract, so stop saying “kicked” …

2021-11-06 00:18

End of an era. But this is a very good lineup

Now I can finally support them lmao

Best of luck. Maybe they will win next major , who knows xD

2021-11-04 17:10

k0nfig and ave looking pretty good

end of an era. Feel like crying right now. Only PGL's dreadful audio quality can be any more depressing.

+1 haha

nice lineup. they both look cold in that pic too

2021-11-04 16:54

goodbye Astralis, F

They should have removed bubzkji and xyp

2021-11-04 17:14

wow this is crazy. this is the first time in about 29384 years that dupreeh and xyp dont play in the same team.

2021-11-04 17:16

Lol they kicked their best players but Lucky and xyp9x still here This roster is not going anywhere

or they didnt want to stay?

2021-11-04 18:19

Kicked, ok.

2021-11-04 18:20

imo Lucky will barely play a single map and dupreeh with glaive will comeback to taking AWP in some rounds, like they did a couple months ago

2021-11-04 18:59

Well this is the end…

2021-11-04 17:33

they will " punch " every guys who against them , literally . I meant , look at their biceps lol

End of another era

big change, wow.

2021-11-04 17:51

coldzera magisk dupreeh mantuu aleksib

2021-11-04 17:54

Great, another team for coldzera to ruin.

2021-11-04 18:15

Baitzera LOL

Botzera need to retire. Team destroyer

The end... and a new beginning

2021-11-04 18:04

2021-11-04 23:19

Here we go....

2021-11-04 18:29

WTD COMPLEXITY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

2021-11-04 18:31

fire moves to bring in k0nfig and blameF, looking forward to a possible NIP dupreeh in the future too. End of an era though, sad to see the multi-major winning lineup split up, and especially sad to see the last two of the main trio split up with dupreeh leaving. device, dupreeh and Xyp9x had an amazing run together.

2021-11-04 18:37

called it ez

2021-11-04 18:57

i guess complexity are gonna try completly new roster now i can only predict how much money they earned from selling these players

2021-11-04 19:04

Dupreeh and magisk to faze -olof +Magisk -rain +Dupreeh Ez for f a z e

2021-11-04 19:09

man said -rain :D:D

2021-11-04 19:19

inb4 they qualif for 2022 and bench them again

2021-11-04 19:30

rip astralis

2021-11-04 19:42

Jason Lake to nice of a guy, should of made these players suffer through contract hell.

2021-11-04 20:27

Did they go for free ?

2021-11-07 10:27

blameF is about to pop off now that he won't be doing the calls. gla1ve will put him in a good position to basically "hulk smash" in the server.

2021-11-04 22:22

Whaaaaatttttt??? HOP ON THE HYPE TRAIN BOYS

2021-11-04 22:34

getting north vibes from this squad

2021-11-04 22:36

ZONIC to CHP

2021-11-04 22:50

I wonder how Hummel feels about this. They made a new main sponsorship with the team for $6 million less than a year ago, and now only two players of the original roster are left.

2021-11-04 23:13

Astralis is still gonna be a huge brand. Also they're not gonna suck as hard as these haters think.

2021-11-05 00:20

Get a good AWPer instead of Lucky and Astralis is back to tier1

2021-11-05 03:11

Bro just imagine they still had device, wouldve been so sick

2021-11-05 12:10

rip this new lineup will not do anything.

2021-11-05 05:26

Add XANTARES

2021-11-05 11:53

Feeling good rn ngl

2021-11-05 12:13

RIP Astralis

2021-11-05 14:24

THEY COULD JUST KICK XYP AND GET BLAMEF OR K0NFIG. NOW THEY DONT HAVE FIREPOWER LUL

2021-11-05 18:51

i miss the old Astralis so much :(

2021-11-05 19:43

As long as XYP will be in the team, I don't see the immense potential. I like him, but it feels like he's too washed.

2021-11-06 14:04

Astralis vs Vitality going to be a banger

2021-11-07 04:20

Are u serious?

2021-11-07 14:06

How could they play with 6 man roster?

2021-11-08 02:12

no bubzkji

2021-11-09 15:36

I fee like Gla1ve’s 1877 b.c. mid-round calls are the problem. But I might be mistaking, we’ll see

2021-11-08 20:48

-lucky +farlig when?

2021-11-09 10:22
