    Regardless whether they begin era 2 or not, this team has been on the cutting edge of CSGO for so long it’s astounding.
    I started watching CS consistently back when they represented TSM, and to think they are still / more relevant now is crazy when you consider the teams / players that have come and gone over the same period.

      And before that they were the consistent top4 major placers from the beginning ! same core that had the heartbreaking losses/chokes as Dignitas but they were kids ! lol.. its a standout of consistency where so many AMAZING teams come and go, get overtaken etc.. NOONE has continued to stay at the top and potentially win the biggest finals like they have for so many years and its amazing because it is through all these more and more competitive periods and changing metas..
      What he said, yep they define excellence in the game you can see the growth and resilience to overcome the challengers, when they were flawed they never stopped being relevant and rise again and again with more strength and the consistency of how strong they are each time ? it only goes up

    They have peaks at the majors but what we define as their lows are top 6 finishes, which for any other team would be a decent result. The CS forums are filled with Zyw0oo and s1mple hype, but tbh they are nothing against the teamplay Astralis has on its peak. As a CS fan I know I want to see more of them at their best shape and see if any other teams come near to it. Mousesports, Liquid, Fnatic and EG all have shown potential to contest titles in 2020, the task will not be easy.

      Completely agree. As an Astralis fan (followed them since the dignitas days) I want them to be on top, but it's undeniable that both their big 2018 era did end and that the scene is better off if they have some actual competition.

      Black_m0nster yes, but unfortunately it’s the way life is sometimes. U could be playing at the top level ur whole life, but at the end of the day csgo is a team game, and if ur team isn’t it then u just can’t win. I mean, a ton of talented teams haven’t been able to win a major in years cause astralis is just winning them all, so. It sucks, but astralis is the best team right now, so technically they deserve to win majors more than any individual player. Unfortunate, but it’s how it is.

    SK had overall a better year in 2017 than in 2016. It was just unfortunate that Krakow came when they were in the downswing with Felps and that they had to play Boston with Felps again as a stand-in when they were being dominant with Boltz.
