Enemy team: Full buy
Astralis: Hold my nade
This Astralis team is undoubtedly the best CSGO team of all time. In their twilight years now but they dominated everyone for so long it's about time. All legends.
No more :(
Nah the old fnatic was better
Old fnatic of the time was untouchable, innovative, and reinvented how anti-eco rounds are played
NiP 87-0
@@JadenSmithEyes i’d say more dominant, definitely not better
glave just changed the whole game man, what a legend.
gla1ve
How about their coach
glave is my favorite, i love glave
zonic
@@mathiasliltorp1903 im sure everyone in this comment section knew what he means
They changed the definition of "teamwork"
They made other teams look like fpl team made of randoms
Mostly because of gla1ve and his legendary notebook
gla1ve gets all the credit he deserves, but I think it was Zonic who came up with most of the nade strats and thus deserves a lot of credit as well.
@@ThisIsTaco1 Glaive came up with the nade strats, there is a whole interview about it
The bible of csgo 😂
@@ThisIsTaco1 zonic was more of a moral support coach after glaive came
Yes even when you kill 4 of them , xyp9x will still win the round
Teamwork os astralis is perfection. The nades usage was unreal. Such a dominating era.
it was the OLD virtus pro inferno execute
@@Therocki7who cares?🤡🤡
@@leolindstrom6826 another internet Troll. I just gave the background information. 🫥
Astralis changed the whole professional stage of cs go gaming. they were so lonely on top i am glad it is more competitive right now and other teams improved on their own, because back then they really made it look easy to obliterate top tier teams
They played like a fine tuned orchestra, all synchronized and gla1ve's big brain changing the way the game was played. Nobody can mantain this level for a long time, hence burnout, depression and so on. It was beautiful while it lasted, but they were human after all. Respect to the greatest team (and I say team, cause it was all teamwork at a level never seen before) of all time. To the stars.
@Mahmud Ghaznavi: Kalki Avatar of súbhúman Líndús Device went to Nip, Dupreeh Magisk and their coach went to Vitality
nah put respect to zonic it wasnt just gla1ve
Burnout? Depression? Sorry i don’t get

Could you imagine if the drop utility existed in Astralis prime? No one would have ever had a chance.
😔 only if that was possible
Fact lol
even without that, no one had chance bro lmao
They literally need -4.5 odds just to make the odds even against the best teams. that means if ur the second best team u still won't be favored to win more than 12 rounds against astralis every map.
@@shin29534 In xyp9x's prime, his winrate in 1v2's was more than 50%. That is insane

@@nukye I'm just joking no worries
Watching astralis in 2016-2019 was like watching a faceit lv 10 team go up against gold novas..
It was like, 2018-2020 where they were the best man.
@@Bedhead13 Yeah they were great with Kjaerbye, winning the 2017 Eleague major, but they were never a dominant team with tactics and strategy beyond any other team until Magisk joined. Idk how Magisk joining caused them to completely reinvent the stratbook and the CSGO meta because it's pretty clearly due to Glaive and Zonic, but it was just the absolute perfect pairing of 5 players that all knew their roles and maximized their performances every time. Having all 5 players in the top 20 is absolutely ridiculous.
I wonder why the title is in past tense, Astralis are not at their best but they ended the year as the no. 1
It's not justified, vita are the team number one
@@natoh72 no.
@@natoh72 it is justified
@@natoh72 winning 2 of the 3 last tournaments of the year and getting in the finals in the 3rd. Beating vita in the last tournament, and that's still not enough. You are hard to satisfy
@@natoh72 agree
A year later, really sad to see the team fall off this hard. Other teams caught up and they just couldn't handle it. Was an amazing era to watch while it happened though.
watching this after Astralis vs NIP; just breaks my heart.
they didn't play all that bad in game 2 to be honest but yeah
NAVI, G2, Vitality this major are absolutely godlike, I think even old astralis will will struggle with them
@@AbDeRRaHiMX old astralis are dog compared to navi
@@redlyred1372 Old Astralis vs current Navi would be an interesting match. Firepower vs the best teamplay, utility usage and ingame leading ever seen in CS. I still think old Astralis would take them through sheer reads, since old Astralis is still top3 in overall firepower ever IMO. Even with all teams having adapted a lot of old Astralis’s playbook, noone has done it as well yet.
navi,g2,gambit and vitality would all beat them imo but i would love to see it!!
Prime Astralis just makes me giggle. To me still the best team in the world
I hate Astralis. Most boring team to watch. They are just a better team than everyone else. Nothing is interesting about them
That is what makes it interesting. To see the level that they are on and how they think about the game. They are better than everyone else in a game that has been out since 2012. It is not easy to achieve that and whenever they pull out a new idea I get excited
@@jonathanlindqvist2328 It's not that Astralis is boring, you came from a wrong biased perspective. It is the other teams that boring bcs couldn't give Astralis a good competition when they are in a good form. So, Astralis have elevated the quality of competition these last 2 years, shall we just be grateful that their inventions to the game make CS:GO one of the best esports title in the world? I think for a CS nerd like me, CS:GO is on the most interesting competition so far rn, all tier 1 teams can give a really good close intense matches. Just like Ast vs NaVi EPL S12 GF and Vita vs NaVi on IEM Beijing 2020 GF. 🤗
@@muhammadhabibalfarabi568 I strongly disagree with them not being boring. I don't want to watch perfect plays. Mistakes and dumb plays makes it fun and exciting.
@@jonathanlindqvist2328 Yea I agree with the mistakes part. But they are being paid to win as much as they can possibly make, their career is to win not to entertain. So, how they play itself already shows how good their work ethic is. But, yeah, if you always expecting mistakes and dumb plays, I recommend you to watch FPL or Showdown matches, but on an actual tournament, it is hard to expect that, and I think that what makes you disappointed. Expecting less than these teams is a mistake itself. I also do hope though, that this year they can play a sick matches, especially with the atmosphere on LAN, where the players are pulling crazy unthinkable plays.
I remember following them in their TSM days and watching it all pay off during this era of Astralis. Good times
FEELS BAD NOW THAT DEV1CE LEFT
so true i miss the old days
Yeah I hope the change reinvigorates dev1ce and the rest of the guys to step up to prove how good u are
@@wolffreezerlivestreamer man i feel after dev1ce left all of them stepped up but unfortunately they did not have an awper lets see what lucky can do
@@arnavgarg6100 honestly I think his skill will be bad but they need an awper with gla1ve putting him in optimal positions he’ll do fine but like 3rd frag
@@wolffreezerlivestreamer I really think that dupreeh is a God at entry fragging and secondary awping but being primary awper is another thing he has experienced that before and he managed it and got great success but he always looked tired and stuff i feel dupreeh is the talent they have to use properly now
"Used to be"? They still are.
No
@@pr0nGren welp this aged well
The title said used to be the ONLY best now teams like navi and vitality are starting to catch up
The ONLY best.
@@7cknggood126 who gets beaten by a low bracket team like nip
The best team of counterstrike players ever assembled, nobody will ever be like astralis again. I first started watching cs when they won their first major and my god was I not expecting them to carry it into the heavens. My favorite team ever, I’ll miss these glory days. They are the reason I still love this game
6:30
caster: a disaster for astralis
Astralis: *cleans b site*
caster: *silence*
"this has been" is very important part which you didnt write ;)
People forget that astralis have a 6th team member...
The HE grenade
And zonic
@@itsjustthatsimple628 and bubjski
I just love the nade kills from Astralis, they're so freaking satisfying!
There has never, nor will there ever, be a team that dominates the way that Astralis did. Yes they had some of the world's best CS players, but their teamwork combined with that made them unstoppable. Crazy to think what could have happened if COVID didn't happen and break them up.
NiP did go 87-0 at pro level tho
@@RSiQu yeah but that was WAY before teams had transitioned from 1.6 and Source to CSGO
My goodness the amount of insane nades from Gla1ve in this compilation vid. Unreal
7:00 that Molly play to catch smokes intended for garage and secret was insane and nobody mentioned it
I just met gla1ve on a retake server... that shit got me so shook it has me watching all of these astralis videos :D
btw.. yea he dominated me and everyone else
Yeah, you do expect outclassing everyone from a 4 time major champion xD
That molly in nuke for stopping the smoke is so smart...
Now it's become standard for CTs
Those insane nade and mollie launches, its like they invented a multi rocket launcher in CS
06:58 that molly was WILD
I was navi fan on that moment, but now i want to turn back time to watch every single astralis match
That's what the Internet is for. Go do it. Some amazing wins.
@@idrinkmilk282 ye, but if i will do it now i won't get those special emotions when you dont know the result of the match and you are cheering for them and rejoice in every round won
5:47 anyone else hear the Minecraft oof
what the fuck. as a 9 year old full time roblox/minecraft gamer i know for a fact that this is the roblox oof sound. how dare you say that it's minecraft.
@@javeinne im not expert and ive never played roblox (thanks god) but as far as i remember the minecraft oof has a more manly tone compared to the childish one in roblox, no way it ressembles the roblox one.
Astralis reinvented the way the game was played, even though it had been out for nearly a decade at that point. Very few teams have ever had that impact, and the only other ones that did changed the game while it was still in its infancy.
As someone who followed the core of Dupreeh, Device and Xyp9x ever since they were on TSM it's has been hard these past years, at least we now got most of the old Astralis back on Astralis however I'm still kinda living in this era.
"used to be" they still are, yea they had jugi and bubzki and xyp and gla1ve left for a while but they never didn't show up
No.. theyre not... they are definitely still a top team one of the best, but there is no longer that wide gap between them and others.. they are fully beatable now, while they were near invincible during their reign. "used to be" is correct.
No more dev1ce
@@Carl-yn7vt I dont think they can regain their dominance but I think they can get back to the top. The individual skill is insane, they only need a good awper and they will be top tier.
astralis was the blueprint for what a good team was. when you dominate for so long, people learn how to counter your tactics. so no, they won’t be the best team for much longer
I miss the older days, when atralis was on top and noone could do anything to stop them
The Synergy and prediction of throwing nade by Astralis is on point.🔥🔥
Damn my mannn, I missed old Astralis so much :((
This team absolutely banger
good old days mate
I can watch it wholeday long!
Who's here after finding out dev1ce went to NIP.
Me :(
me :(
i rooted against astralis and they just couldnt lose but now i feel bad as i think astralis will not be the same without devve
Me :(
Me :(
@@colinp.5866 KennyS go to Astralis probably
Great vid, but they’re still the best! Competition is getting fiercer for sure but astralis had a ton of roster changes to deal with this year.
wait till bubzkji get comfortable on T-side nuke, and Astralis six man roster will be harder to beat
Yup, I agree. When a team relies on teamwork so heavily and loses their support/clutcher, and IGL, that's going to hurt.
It's going to take them a while consistently playing again and despite that they still finished the year as number 1. Will take time but I think Astralis will have another era again.
lmfao
Damm this comment aged like milk, know I'm late but commenting just to rub salt on the wound of some Astralose fanboy
Yeah, this did not age well XDDDDDDDDDDDD
i remember the time when people just "you play astralis in inferno? its done, they never lost in inferno", and ALSO the moment when BIG break those record with winning against Astralis in inferno.
Sorry to see astralis broken up. Such a good team jn the past.
Tactical nuke gameplay always gives me goosebumps.
The multi HE-Grenades are so satisfying
I love paying attention to stewie2k and he's always dying to nades lmao
those nades are so satifying
so much 16-0 games on that era
But they're still the best team..
always have been
Exactly what i thought when i read the video title.
No they are not anymore.
@@banger4773 hater
They think that cause they aren't as good as there prime there not the best, they're just that good.
Gla1ve = nades

Xyp9x = clutch

Magisk = ak-47
+
Device = awp
+
Dupreeh = pistol
=
Astralis (Perfect Team)
+zonic = Best coach
Dupreeh = Deagle + AK
Magisk = M4 + AK
Would be slightly more suitable but ok
It has been 4 years and no team is as dominant as this lineup yet
5:43 "Nicely done for Twistzz" actually nicely done for stewie cause the opponent was blind and he didnt get a chance to do some damage because of stewie's flash
entire nade strat is to kill people in certaint positions, so later into the round dupreeh is more confident to not check postions, because enemies wont wanna get double or triple naded again.
idk why other teams dont do this, at most it takes like 600-900 bucks to possibly have a position clear for the entire round.
The correct title for this video: "How to use utility properly, by Astralis"
Everybody gangsta till glave pulled the ultimate strat book
That first clip, it hurts man u.u
Only got into CS last year and i would have loved to see them in their prime
It’s so incredible to see how meta has change
They were simply ahead of their time, almost like they were playing a different game or just in a completely different way
I just love watching this video what a team-work utility usage were Damm fcking great
1:28 back home kido...😱🔥🔥⭐🎮
Used to be? They still are.
nope, vitality is the best team now

@@adrianmikkelsen4269 exactly. I'm a G2 fan but Astralis teamplays hit different
Teamwork at its finest
Goat team for real, the domination in winning major 3x is unmatched
Now we can say the former kings of csgo has finally been dethroned
Time beats everyone eventually: Roster changes, individuals taking breaks, so on. I’m still not convinced any team has been better than their peak yet.
Great work 👍
I kinda miss this astralis because if they lost it was so hype
Legends are forever legend man buut i still cant believe gambit of today
See this after they are 1:16 by team spirit. What a good timing.
same man
Ik people hated this time in counter strike because most events were so predictable but i loved watching this team play unreal CS
Did you ask "most people" at this time in counter strike history what they thought? Because if not, I reject your statement and ask for actual proof. I loved watching cs back then. So did the hundreds of thousands of others watching. Astralis dominating and liquid being their only competition was thrilling to watch. Watching liquid almost have an era and having astralis deny it was thrilling.
The Kings of nade stacks
Australis always gives the best gameplays.
I was in this Era. Golden days.
the utility use by Astralis is undefeated
Astralis was the goat of cs, not fnatic, not nip, but astralis they literally was so good that they need a -4.5 handicap to make the odds even, not even the second best team is near astralis. And they did it in a time where csgo actually had alot of good teams compared to the fnatic and nip run which csgo was only starting.
I love Astralis and hope they can win some more majors
i'd love to see the total damage by them in 1 game from util crazy high
This team was like OG in dota2 back in 2018/2019
The first play is so gooooodd
Never gets old. One of my favorite plays from Astralis
@@jaq5918 YESSS
@@jaq5918 me too man
And now we cannot see Astralis like this after device left
Now most video titles says
"Do or Die !! Astralis vs. Randoms, Highlights"
Didn't know there can be multiple best teams
Good job bro
When other teams realised heyy maybe we should use util better
astralis has to be one of my favorite teams, their utility play is just amazing
I feel bad for ASTRALIS right now
Gla1ve's aim is underrated tbh
they are finaly making a comeback
6:00 glaive almost left dev1ce hanging
Everything have to change nothing is forever but i dont think there will have a team achieve 4 major cups like them
2:50 I was like who talkin in downstairs
astralis pushing/retaking looked like some elite veteran swat anti-terrorist team played a swat anti-terrorist game
Glaive and magisk was a beast
I remember back in 2014-2015 those are always Show up on any pro FRAGMOVIES..... As some that got one Tapped and killed,and they manage to reach the top
Fnatic and vp really developed this thing called teamwork in cs and astralis mastered it
3:09 can't ignore that fer play
Still not watched regular CS since the OG core of Astralis disbanded. Just no interest anymore with everyone switching teams and shit, Astralis felt like one of the first ''real'' teams who stuck together and won through teamwork and not just relying on a couple guys to carry with insane aim.
So yeah, watching competitive CS died to me when Astralis died. RIP
Timing is second to none, with nades. Team play is what get them so far, never seen anything like it.
Only when teams win back to back majors and 4 of Them, can you put Them in the same league as Astralis, simple as that
i keep watching these kinds of videos and trying my hardest to teach my own team how to hold uppe bomb site on nuke with smokes and nades cuz my team are rushing too much at times and cuzing death
i wanna get my team up there but with this is taking such a long time
i keep telling them to slow it down a bit but some saying is boring so idk
trying but to hard when you have a team who wanna rush only
we have made some pretty good comebacks tho so i wont say my team are shits or anything but i wanna have the teamwork like ast is doing here
and thats what im working on to get
astralis era util was crazy
