People who complain that Astralis made the pro scene boring should redirect their complaints to other teams for not stepping up. It's the other teams' fault because they just tilt and give up.
@@coral250 You are beyond stupid, CS isn't all about shooting people and getting clips. The way Astralis plays is to win. They don't take stupid risks that other teams do.
To be fair, MIBR accepted their invite to Blast Pro Istanbul before they moved the date to coincide with ESL One NY. They might very well have said no if the date had been finalized earlier.
Reminds me most of horse racing; the National Hunt Triple Crown £1million bonus (Betfair Chase, King George VI and Cheltenham Gold Cup) and the Flat Stayer's Bonus for £1million too that Stradivarius won this year.
only thing about astralis im arguing about is Device being the best player. he gets placed in extremely advantageous position thanks to the team, he is like the runningback catching a perfect pass. I would give the nod to the quarterback who passes instead. everybody on the team has a harder position than device has in my opinion.
@Thoorin: What if the reason Astralis won the Grand Slam, was _because_ they skipped several of the relevant tournaments (and a lot of smaller tournaments too), not in spite of it. They have publicly been shaking their heads at several teams, including FaZe for attending too many tournaments, stressing around and basically living in airports too much. Maybe it's impossible to do the Grand Slam, if you keep treating a marathon accomplishment like it was a sprint.
I get what you're saying and there is some truth to it. But that wasn't what Thorin meant. He meant that Astralis played a few tournaments that was not included in the Intel Grand Slam instead of focusing on the tournaments relevant for IGS. Like how they chose to play in Blast Pro Series Istanbul instead of ESL One: New York. If they had prioritised the IGS events higher than the other events, they could've taken breaks from playing or prepared instead of participating in Blast Pro.
Whats up with all these new ence fans? its a pretty decent team, but not gonna win any big ones for a while im sure, if it was a sauna contest they would probably win tho.
He predicted it in by the numbers „faze will remove karrigan and get an Other crazy Frager with nico calling, he also said that this will not fix faze‘s issues
Liquid would be so fucking stupid if they made that roster move. Taco makes them such a well rounded team. Adding another star player isn't what they need, 3 star players is more than enough. They would also be getting rid of the best coach in the history of CSGO. Genuinely believe they would go from being the 2nd best team in the world to like 6th/7th best if they add Stewie2k.
@@dxvolatile9153 It was MiBR's Offer I think. It makes sense on MiBR's part, and well, they could just set Stewie and Twistzz as Stars, ELiGE could be a Support Rifler, due to his 'expertise', kinda, in the scoped AR's, Nitro could still be IGL AWP, and we'll have left with NAF, who'll either be Support Secondary AWP, or switch roles with Stewie.
So. What the fuck does Liquid do. Do you just stay as the 2nd-3rd best team and just try to make it over the Astralis hump? I mean, to my knowledge they've never beat them in a series that was more than 1 game. Do they try to get some star player or just grind it out? I don't know. As a die hard Liquid fan I'm just looking for answers.
It was Team Liquid in the Chicago final. You were right the first time.
Welp, a brainfart bounded to happen once in a while
yeah he was thinking about ecs s6

Astralis's players step it up when most of the best teams were dead. Especially eu
@@januszterminator5925 They step their game up when they are in the playoffs

HellRaisers played them close on LAN, so its just silly to complain about astralis making things boring
This Astralis is amazing. I just hope the other teams get to step up and become actual rivals before their era runs out. Would be amazing to see.
Buying their stickers is q good start
It was Team Liquid* 12:34 , Astralis beat mibr in the ecs finals
Being a motor sports fan, I love seeing these diverse sort of trophys like the Triple crown of Motorsport.

If you loose focus for one second he's gonna go on saying "He", "They" for 10 minutes and you'll never undrstand who he's talking about.
I like you.
😂😂😂
I've rewinded his videos so much because of this lmao
Astralis could have won even earlier if they didn't throw Stockholm vs north 😂
Or if they actually participated in ESL One Belo Horizonte or ESL New York ;-)
Makes them even more dominating.. :-D
I REALLY hope a team steps up and start to challenge Astralis by the IEM major...
10:58 guys Karrigan got "only" removed as the IGL and not as a player from the team.
The GOAT thumbnail.
Great video Thorin twitter going crazy lol

Honestly I think if they finished it with the major no one would've given a shit about the intel grand slam part of it.

Team Liquid fans looking back after they dominated the Grand Slam in 2019 and made it harder cause they kept winning.

Oh well liquid sprinted the fuck out of it
10:59 what?
Remember when Faze had various chances to win the grand slam? Feelsbadman
thoorin looking sweaty uhh
That's just his radiant glory that you're seeing. The makeup artists try to hide it but they missed this time.
Thoughts on WESG?

wait karrigan is leaving?

Noooo, he meant karrigan was removed from in game leading. Niko is calling now

That's what people said about fnatic yet people keep referring to that era now as one that they miss.
