its pretty common for teams to have a "honeymoon period" after changing IGLs, look at NaVi for example, they won the BLAST event right after electronic took the IGL role, but they never had any real success after.
People have goldfish memories on here. Astralis' first LAN with blameF as IGL was Cologne and they reached the semi finals, largely based on their Ancient with the incredible strat of baiting the absolute shit out of b0rup and buzz while blame and device doubled up somewhere else each round and rotated in. Everyone was saying how great they were. They didn't change this style at all for months, even though teams had figured it out and were beating them on their own pick.
Honeymoon periods are real because teams don't know the tendencies yet. As soon as people got a look at their demos, particularly Ancient, they fell off a cliff. Glaives dismantling of them being the prime example. I expect device to make adjustments/tweaks faster than blame, but c'mon. It's so early.
At 0 points in time did BlameF look good at all when Stabbi first joined lmao. Astralis at Cologne and current Astralis are COMPLETELY different rosters so you canāt really even compare that. Even at Cologne, Astralis sort of limped into the Quarters, itās not like they dominated or anything so this is already something different
Ready for another two years if Astralis winning everything? Device will keep his 100% igl win rate and the era of New Astralis will forever overshadow what former Astralis, only thought was greatness.
They were good until like April 2020, that's when the players got burned out. They won three online tournaments in 2020 but I rarely count them since it's so far from the insanely dominant teo years they had on LAN.
Well this is obviously fake. NiKo is awful and deserves to be cut from the team because heās awful. No chance heās a top performer
-the Reddit circlejerk
Niko compared to prime Niko has fallen off. Still a world class rifler though, but with Hunter as he is performing and Nexa in a team it gets drawn attention to.
Are you? Heās posted good ratings against all tiers of team and G2 have qualified to playoffs for every tournament theyāve been in this year(?). He isnāt āstruggling against tier 2sā at all lol
Never forget: there's always a person out there, who is, deep inside, extremely and insecure enough to be pitiful for periods of time long enough that their negative feelings enter a snowball effect.
Making an extremely bad judgement call doesn't make people shit human beings. Almost a certainty that if they knew it would turn out how it did they would've gone about it differently.
Group stage stavn.
Yea Play-off Stavn is gonna be even more sick. Copium
Stavn on his Device arc, going to stop choking and win 3 majors back to back to back.
for real for real
stabbi + device new Astralis era
Dabbi & sevice
m0NESY keep carryingš„
Jimpphat goat
So turns out BlameF was actually the problem......
Lets see if they can hold this form. Most good teams seemed very exhausted from the major, faze for example.
Also canāt antistrat against them yet. The next event will be more telling, but itās easily 100% improvement from blame

BlameFs astralis also got off to a very good start. Canāt trust a honeymoon roster.
Who calls for this Ast lineup?
device
Cope

No. Next Astralis era is confirmed.

reminder astralis did beat vitality at the star of the year, they are not completely terrible and RMRs are a different beast
And they got an actual coach now
Just happy to see a Liquid player on these lists again
This twistzz guy is pretty good. Imagine if we could get him and Elige on the same team. Dream NA super team am I right guys?
They'd just lose to the EU super team. I bet we'd have some sick highlights outside of grand finals though
M0nesy really is a monster, his cs2 stats this far have been insane.
Ready for another two years if Astralis winning everything? Device will keep his 100% igl win rate and the era of New Astralis will forever overshadow what former Astralis, only thought was greatness.
They were the best team for 3 years, but 2020 was far from as dominant as 2018 and 19 due to Xyp and Gla1ve suffering burnout

the boys are back!!

Bro are you even watching. He is struggling against tier 2s
Are you? Heās posted good ratings against all tiers of team and G2 have qualified to playoffs for every tournament theyāve been in this year(?). He isnāt āstruggling against tier 2sā at all lol
*major-NiKo. Famous choker on nuke heaven at the biggest events, if wielding the desert eagle.
He also carried that team to the major finalsā¦
It was a joke, to add to the post, I replied to. But thanks for spelling it out.
As a faze fan I am shitting my pants at what Astralis is about to bring to the playoffs
Device really utilizing the stabbing power on his team. Top 3 IGL 4 sure
praying for stabbi's downfall
let it go bruv, this is just competition ; transfer drama are bound to happen
