1:03 BlameF is optimistic about Astralis' chances at the Major! Do you agree?

[@gamehash1191]

Fat chance

[@wings3118]

they lost a map to G2 at the rmr, who by every measure dissappointed. gl beating FaZe lmao

[@sh1nenkai258]

@@wings3118 ye i dont see any team beating faze rn tbh otehr than navi, c9 (shiver me timbers its the 9 vs clan at a major so maybe psychological factor to karrigan)

[@wings3118]

@@sh1nenkai258 i think Gambit are just too shaky on LAN, still. they're improving for sure, but they're still not used to a crowd enough to win. and idk, Katowice was a haunting loss for him as well, but he called beautifully

[@n1coboss]

they good on paper but they can't beat navi or even faze right now

[@LozempRemastered]

Who's here after they got eliminated from the Major?

[@bagmilker1558]

He's technically not wrong but other way around every team can beat Astralis as well

[@wansichen3743]

the question is more which major are you talking about haha

[@neapelflorenz4364]

Correct, I like he show confidence but yea I don't bet on astralis.

[@claudiu2317]

Technically correct is the best kind of correct

[@JimboJimbolina]

Blame always gives an insightful interview. One thing about the video’s audio though, needs left and right channels balanced as well as volume leveling. Thanks for the interview!

Got eliminated in the Challengers stage .. xd

[@Kinwika]

[@goneski]

-xyp9x +valde = top 3 team

[@peter_88]

Maybe top5. They need someone willing to hard entry consistently because if you watch their t sides, they fall flat because they are all baiting/lurking.

[@galax12370]

@@peter_88 I think this style can work if you have konfig popping and also your teamplay needs to be down to crisp. Xyp9x is obv a huge layability which they cant keep dragging with them

[@0Adnin]

Highest number of clutches won, highest assist and top 10 in support rounds last month. Wtf do you expect from a support. Get s1mple level kills ? Aim has been a bit inconsistent I agree but he is doing what he suppose to do.

@@0Adnin bro karrigan is 32 years old and igling and he has roughly the same numbers as this guy.

[@CurtMortis]

PGL audio engineers working for Dexerto

[@nonAehT]

absolutely not, Xyp9x is so far off his game, he's basically dead weight. And glaive hasn't been looking like he can make up for it tactically lately. Astralis has no chance at winnig the major.

[@micaharies]

it would take a cloud9 level fluke for them to win this one, with faze, the cis guys, and everyone else playing the way they are they have 0 chance

[@fredrikkarlsson8594]

They hired ppl audio guy

[@SkiLxD]

Can someone share with me the contact of his main "Supplier"? He's seeing some serious shit.

[@AK46_]

Hate to say it but I don’t even see this astralis line up making it to the quarter final, even if the bracket works in astralis’s favor I do not see them winning against any of the top teams especially Faze, G2, Vitality, C9/gambit and maybe even heroic (kinda a stretch but very much posssible). out of all the teams I just listed it makes sense why astralis is not a fan favorite for the major.

[@mnii_]

No one is a favourite in this major besides faze , room for alot of upsets astralis have shown that they are capable of taking the top dogs i think they will make it to the quarters with ease anything beyond that will require alot of luck and a massive step up from the weak links (glave and xyp)

[@yelwinaung9296]

@@mnii_ dude glaive is calling, ofc he wont get much kills. U can't blame boombl4, dude's running around with mp9 xd and they won last major.

[@mnii_]

@@yelwinaung9296 i never mentioned stats because i know they dont represent players , but watching glave he seems not be able to win fight sometimes same thing is very often for xyp

[@mafaju9818]

I can see Astralis beating Vitality, Vitality are looking quite bad right now

[@Rasserboan]

Long time ago I have seen xyp pop off or at least a good clutch

[@codelapiz]

lucky realy is he who shall not be named

[@bababob4010]

1:04 Of course. Since losing games 12:16 against top 10 teams is the same as actually beating them. Ur not getting destroyed by top teams but u still lose. So actually beat them otherwise im not believing

[@tnightwolf]

I mean... deep down inside he knows they won't, but fair game... If you want to compete you always have to believe it is possible.

[@neapelflorenz4364]

BlameF just saying Astralis is a good team who can beat better teams when all function well. I think is true, but I think at the major many teams will show there best csgo. I hope furia show us that this roster is one of the best. After hen1 left them they never had a a star awper next to art. Now they have and they can start playing double awp or art concentrate doing crazy things on the map. Kacerato, yuurih and the very good Brasilian talent drop have a good firepower behind. This team isn't ez to play anymore. Next I hope big show us on major the strong face. Big can be top 5 and a few weeks later a top 20 team. But when they on point they can be a nightmare for everyone else. Beated faze like a champion. So let's go. Then I'm curious about faze, g2,Navi, Cloud9 and the new teams like 9z. This major looks so promising and mouz is not on board 😞😢 but yea I hope furia win the major.

[@navisucks]

No chance against faze

[@n0va756]

Well they just beated NiP 16-1 in one of their worst mapd

[@-barndon]

hes smoking crack bro, they arent beating navi or faze or cloud 9
