This storyline is actually a better and more interesting one. Imagine if kjaerbye never left astralis and magisk was never signed. Magisk at that point was playing in tier 1,5-2 competition. I thought he was done for and his best career highlight was being the player in dignitas at one point of time. But the grind to keep going, these boys are an inspiration
Astralis having a bad is also kinda unbeatable. And when Astralis has a good day, you should be happy if your team wins just 1 round. Just ask NIP and Faze.
@@oHeroCS NIP had the 87-0, and Fnatic had arguably the most stacked roster ever considering Olofm, JW, and Flusha were all top 10 players in the world at that time.
Blake In 2019 dupreeh wasnt top 2019, but through their dominance in 2018 they had the full roster in top 20: Xyp9x #13 Gla1ve #8 Magisk #7 dupreeh #5 and device #2.
The answer lies in zonic and gla1ve. Astralis are simply what perfect team chemistry looks like. I've also heard that Astralis have a stronger work ethic and to be honest with you their demos and games look *significantly* different than say other teams: you can see it in the trades, the support utility and defaults. As for the core goes, compare them with the french lineups that have shuffled their star studded rosters more times than liquid have choked.
@@sampepper8799 cause thorins thoughts are popular because thorin typically rants for hours on end about csgo which is really entertaining for most people and op is disappointed that it's only 13 min not hours
I think this is one of the reasons why cs majors are boring now... It's like when KD joined golden states, NBA champs were already announced even before the season kicks off.
Still bums me to this day that fnatic could've had a longer era instead of SK if olof didn't injure his wrist, that lineup with dennis was arguably better than the pronax lineup, they won like 6/6 LANs until olof got injured. after that the swedish shuffle happened and everything was south from that point. Just shows how much of a god prime olof was. The pronax lineup could've also won cologne 2014... not to mention DH 2014, where it should've been their tourney to win if weren't for those French pussies. but then again history is history.......
@@gabrielwetzler6978 IT IS A DISCUSSION, that lineup with dennis had insane potential, the 14-15 lineup won so much but had a few moments where they barely won and TSM was their hard counter. That new lineup was on pace for some crazy stuffs. Then olof in early 2016 believe it or not has improved even more over 2015, he only played for like 2/5th of the year and still managed to get #8 on hltv's rankings. They were obviously not better than the pronax lineup with their situation, but HAD THE POTENTIAL to be better of things didn't go wrong like it did
lets be real here during that 2015, theres not so many tier s stack team like them at that time. i know u can easily name lots of big name team but they just a big name team(historically or have popular figure in those lineup) n the only reason they go further into the playoff becoz other teams are way worse.

Is there a sock over that mic Thorin? :>
You think that's his mic?
Holy shit dude
Idiots it's to improve sound quality and a replacement for a pop filter
Just thought the same and went to the comments to check how long till I reach the "Is that a sock?" question... Second comment :D
@@hadjovchavdar1760 live a little. It was a joke
love you thorin! that casting on dig vs orgless was hilarious!
i love epl
Astralis is the G.O.A.T of the game
Fnatic is better
Ward Awwad No they are losers with 3 majors😂
@@djoerup132 they are the best team in history of cs
Not a debate anymore is it
Ward Awwad not really, fnatic was inconsistent in comparison to Astralis.
Astralis having a good day is almost unbeatable lol
Astralis having a bad is also kinda unbeatable.
And when Astralis has a good day, you should be happy if your team wins just 1 round. Just ask NIP and Faze.
@@mashrukhkhan5045 lol true
Didn't expect more Astralis video so soon. Thank you.
Picture on the wall is crooked
Its the angle I think. Notice how it's parallel to the edge of the wall to the painting's left
I'm a Liquid Fan, so the likes of Astralis are enemy number 1, BUT, I have to say, Astralis are the greatest CS team of all time. No questions.
NIP and fanatic's peaks were higher. BUT- astralis has been so good for so long, it is hard to even compare the two.
DankMemez how can their peak be higher than Astralis? What do you mean? Astralis been no. 1 in over 100 weeks. That is the highest peak ever.

Wanna hear your thoughts about Faze, particularly whether you think Broky should be the main awpper
you owe me 50$ for that ibuypower throw dazed
Got a like from me just for the GoDazed intro, good to see him!
thorin been workin out
What actually happened to dazed?
He just disappeared a few year ago
Think he moved on from CSGO to something else?
Banger incoming

thorin stop...
you've sniffed too much smoke grenade
true lol
Astralis are not afraid of making changes, they innovate unlike other teams
they innovate by signing xyp9x for another 5 years while valde rots on og
@@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS sure they kept xyp9x but the whole roster has changed and so has the playstyle
@@Archive-w5s im shitposting xyp is washed as fuck
Great insight
Are Astralis the San Antonio Spurs of CS:GO?
wow dazed is still alive :O
I miss dazed

It was my boi DaZeD :O
dad in the intro? maybe he will come back from the store one day.
check his twitch
Bring back 40 min videos!!!
What happened to dazed?
He retired
When the fnatic pronax team fell off the boiler, pronax left and they got Dennis and completely changed their play style.
Astralis has an average age of 24, fam most csgo pros retire when they are going into their late 20's they still have some years left.
NO NAVI IEM?
Best team ever
This video should be 2 minutes long

yo its not even a real discussion. The 2014-2015 fnatic lineup is so much better than the early 2016 one... Don't disrespect them

Nope Okay french pussies?
The Olofboost was incorrect to be used at that point. But let the past be done; it doesn't need to be referred to anymore.

It's pronounced Zippex, not Zipnicks.
Nowadays it is since all casters used it.
Xipnix is his original pronunciation.
Wiskee AmazingDancer wym it is now? his name is his name
Xyp9x doesn't mind it both ways, but he pronounces it the way you say it.
ִ yea y is usually an ee sound in french
Its an E not a Nine in Xyp9x name .. th-cam.com/video/3V_P3wwWIN8/w-d-xo.html Here he explains it in a interview
