[@mcjibbo6100]

I'm just happy for Ence.

[@slayrx]

Love Device, old og Astralis was my favorite team, but this team is beyond unlikable.

[@marnixbrugmans4181]

On paper, looks good (not really interested in the whole stabbi drama) but they fail the eye test badly. Fell in love with Astralis before they hit their era because the way they approached the game, stuck with them through the painful online era, but this is just sad and painful. They lack identity, an own playstyle. Until they find that, they're never getting back into the top 10. Feel sorry for devve though, last of they old squad and just out of place

[@ahmetfahrikucuk]

I agree with both of you completely. I started to support this team before they became "Astralis" and what impressed me was how they played. With xyp9x as my favourite player and the double D (as Warowl called them) this team was approaching the game in a very different way in that time. They weren't looking powerful aimwise but they had some magical teamplay. Later Glaive was added and we've seen some of the best teams to play this game. I was never a fan of Heroic, mostly because of Cadian's repulsive attitude on matches towards other players and their baiting style of CS. For Astralis, they showed how much damage can be done to your org and its reputation in a very short period. I really feel sorry for Device for he is the reason I still feel a bit sad everytime Astralis take a loss. But I was almost sure that Ence would easily win this one. And great for Glaive as well, they deserve the major a lot more than this current Astralis. When every team was scrambling rosters, Astralis was one example of solid team structure. Now what has become is kinda shameful. Aim is important but with Buzz and Steahr they seemed to be building a team structure. Where is it gone? How is this team better with all that investment. Just stupid decisionmaking. Astralis has become a team that winning against them isn't news anymore. @@marnixbrugmans4181

Very happy for Gla1ve, and everyone from Ence stepped up during this series. Hades looked kinda nervous at times, hopefully he's playing better when the major starts.

[@Frogesh]

Karma is real boys. 2 million usd, destroying one of the best teams of heroic core, stabbing their igl behind his back by kicking him out, all for them to fail to even qualify for the major. Embarrassing performance from stavn and especially jabbi. That one round where he just leaves temple and goes mid even tho blameF already was mid letting ence win the round was shocking decision making which I don't understand who made it.

[@joeb5829]

BlameF needs to adjust the system, heroic was crazy aggressive which works with jabbis entries and stavns trade fragging. Now they're all playing very flat and passive opting for more retakes than gamble stacks. Individually they might be a little off but it's more than just them.

[@Frogesh]

@@joeb5829 I agree. I also think blameF is not a good igl, relying a lot on individual prowess. But not like spirit for example where players like stavn and device is setup positionally allowing them to work, or throwing himself first to die so his team can trade him out (lmao baitF) etc. You need a mix of structure and loose to actually be top level astralis seems to fail in both catagories. On top of that none of the players are actually showing up individually so thats also another topic.

[@nareshbisht7620]

Are they really out? Aren't they going to lower bracket?

[@joeb5829]

@@Frogesh I think playing standard cs in the pro scene isn't going to cut it. Astralis is trying to play perfect cs vs glaive who is constantly making reads and adjusting. For jabbi or stavn to sit stagnant for a minute every round and then hold a 4 man push solo is just not setting anyone up for success. And then their on T side basically playing default the entire game, doesn't work with these players.

He made the decision, now he'll need to sit in the bed he made. It's not like he doesn't have a voice, I'm sure he has plenty of say in it, as a founding member. The organisation has made so many questionable decisions in the past years while he was on the team that I don't have that much sympathy for him, as strong a player as he is. May not be his fault at all, but I feel he is possibly an accomplice to all these failures on Astralis

Blamef has nice firepower acording to his stats, but the igling is clearly lacking. The problem is who to kick, staehr would look like the "obvious" choice but Astralis invested a lot in him and I doubt the are kicking him so soon, besides he has been alright as a support.

Common Astralis L brought by gla1ve and friends featuring stabbi, baitF, NIP dev1ce and a random. 2nd time they pick Ancient vs ENCE so they can prove the 1st one wasn't a fluke, blameF took gla1ve's IGN school but forgot he didn't graduate and is now getting extra lessons. At this point, might as well bring back xyp from the bench, but first get rid of this marvel villain lineup and get a proper IGN.

[@JT-qc4zq]

The terrible stuff Astralis have done : - Would not give leave to players, made burnt out players get medical certificates after they were travelling non stop for 4 months post Berlin Major. - told Flashpoint that they would be going to Flashpoint, then didnt answer emails and calls and were announced as a louver agreement team. - Manipulated player contracts by bringing in Es3tag Bubzki and Juggi and pretending a 10 man roster would be a thing. In reality it was because all 5 OG Astralis players contracts ended at the same time and the org didn't like the negotiating power that gave them. - ruined Bubzki's careers, Lucky's career, Farligs career, Buzz, Altex all because they needed an out. - Engaged with Hunden while Hunden was still contracted to Heroic, and only worked with ESL because it would prevent them from being penalised for Hunden sending the Heroic Strat book to them. - Engaged Hunden during his ban, under the guise of Aimlabs. - Likely paid for Hundens legal fees to make ESIC reneg his ban - Hired Hunden. And this isnt even going into Nikolaj Lyholm and the Refresh saga.

[@Frogesh]

bro the most important one on the list, convinced stavn and jabbi to stab cadian and heroic and to jump ship to astralis

[@lefunghi6151]

Astralis, the Org that used to be incredible and is now forever doomed to never be able to live up to what it used to be. I don’t even get why Stabbi jumped ship to them. Heroic was constantly improving while Astralis were struggling to even be in contention for anything meaningful.
