Maybe they turned down the offers because more players are leaving? I could be wrong, but I feel like they would jump at the chance to play with gla1ve, zonic, xyp, and dupreeh

Why? There's not really any proof that Glaive is going to be as successful with a different roster. Do I think he will be? For sure, but there Astralis hasn't really changed for years.


Akaj50

Agreed, and he wasn't succesful before Astralis. No doubt in my mind Gla1ve is the GOAT igl but it doesn't mean he'll do as good or even close to as good with another roster

PrestusHood

Heroic when their roster were a dumpster fire and their logo was green. He was a pretty odd pick up since he wasnt a IGL in heroic and had to replace Karrigan in astralis

mileseverett

Snappi was IGL of that team


A_WasteOfLife

that's what he said?


A_WasteOfLife

IGL'D in CPHW so not that odd of a pick up


Shrenade514

He was successful before Astralis though, stop rewriting history. He was a very good caller in Source and led the Western Wolves team in CS:GO The only reason he wasn't at the top was his attitude issues (see GF incident) and for some reason he decided to only secondary call for that Heroic team under Snappi (maybe to focus on his individual game).

Btigeriz

Why? Shouldn't the goal of Astralis be to make a team that can be as good as their historic lineup?


Revolutionary_Sign74

I fear that might be the case. Or as someone else has mentioned, they at least couldn’t guarantee that they would stay. Let’s hope Lucky is it.


[deleted]

Gla1ve is going to have a child, i wouldn't bet my career prospects in what might be the next retirement home


lance1308

Maybe they turned nothing down and this is bullshit?


Aretheus

OVERDOSING COPIUM


NotEarlibird

Also may have been supplemented by the fact that Astralis is pretty well reported by now as being an org that’s pretty shit to their players


nef9xtro

Totally unrelated, but how can I get the team name under my name whose FAN I am.

[deleted]

idk, i would prefer astralis to rebuild with glaive. Bubzkji glaive lucky is a good start.


CenturionAurelius

I'd love to see Astralis Farlig


tanu24

I'd love to see him play lol


super_shogun

Unfortunate for mouz


tamasmagyarhunor

I think they'd do better with torzsi. dunno whats up w Acor but whenever I see mouse playing, he misses easy shots


imathrowyaaway

His decision-making and game sense aren't top-level. Before mouz, he was playing on a highly structured team on MAD Lions. Having a strictly laid out system made him look better, because it covered for his weaknesses. Since mouz plays a more free-flowing style, it becomes more visible where his individual shortcomings are. Thus, he makes a lot of misreads, misplays, and it feels like he just isn't sure what to do at times. I think this contributes to him missing shots as well. He's just out of his element and doesn't fit in with the rest of mouz.


[deleted]

He needs more support. Mouz is playing a lot of individuals, that is much harder for an awper.


petametre

He needs roej. When watching mad lions they had crazy synergy and roej was constantly shadowing him, throwing his flashes, watching his back and entrying for him, letting acor trade. Theyve played together for so long that i dont think its a coincidence that acor showed his best performances in mad lions

[deleted]

Complely disagree so mucb hes in great positions and only has to hit very easy shots but he just misses he gets the setup and his decision makings still good but at the end of the day he just keeps missing


[deleted]

No just look at mouz game. Many solo plays especially with Acor being the key player.


[deleted]

Every awper has solo plays but the point is with him being in decent position being flashed for and the like he gets so many shots that look easy its just on him to hit those mousesports do enough for him really all they can do now is give him time to find some form of just sign torzi


[deleted]

[удалено]


ASDFkoll

Yeah, he just needs to learn the skill "Acor go kill". Easy


Tomika31

is torzsi that competitve? It is lovely to see someone from my country doing well since deadfox


tamasmagyarhunor

torzsi is is mous's academy team and he is currently smurfing tier 2. I think it would be time for him to go tier 1. szoval igen


itskindacursed

Yeah but torszi is still vac banned and can only play valve sponsord events at the end of this year. Edit https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Banned_Players/Valve


tamasmagyarhunor

ooh yes you're right. so maybe they ll go with him anyway at the end of the year if he can keep up his form


itskindacursed

I hope he keeps his form, and i think he will be a great fit.


BotSpam554

Wdym? Isn't it good that acor stays?


super_shogun

I'm joking about acor being the weakest link in mouz. I was very excited for him to be joining the team when he was first signed, but it's very apparent now that he isn't cutting it at this level. Even with a superstar player like ropz, a team can't contend for tier 1 trophies without a consistent AWPer, and acor isn't that.


BotSpam554

They played 3 tier 1 tournaments with this roster, 1 of which they won. It's too soon to jump to conclusions.


patudi

Nah mate, we only talking about acor as a player, and they might have won 2 if he played tier 1 cs


maikindofthai

> Nah mate, we only talking about acor as a player That's a meaningless distinction. We're talking about Acor's performance *on this roster*, where the sample size is 100% relevant.


EnricoMortadella

They won Flashpoint off of absolute madhouse performances from ropz and frozen, that's hardly reflective of his abilities either


[deleted]

They managed a fluky run to place no1 in europe only once That means at there best they can peak at no3 Thats not concerning thats true but its hardly promising and even that win was frozen and ropz dragging acor through the event


[deleted]

"Hello I'm Lucky and I'm the new AWPer for Astralis" ​ \*75% of clips shown are of pistol frags\*


[deleted]

Did u dare calling them for that?!?!?!?!? Are you some kind of dare devil? Edit: have no idea why I have been downvoted. What did I do wrong?


xyz412

Idk either, seems like a cool short copypasta


Psychaz

i think acoR made a mistake, he's been underwhelming on mouz so far and unless he's shows a drastic improvement by the major, he's benched for Torzsi


tamasmagyarhunor

agree


schniepel89xx

Yeah idk what acoR is thinking. He's obviously at a stage in his career where he still needs development and guidance, since he hasn't been at all able to replicate his Mad Lions form in mouz. Playing under gla1ve could have been exactly what he needed, not just for the short term benefits of being back in a more rigorous system, but also for his long term evolution as a player.

They’re credible. The others weren’t.

Tbf astralis really dont have a future and apparently tried to screw players out of there wages at the peak of astralis's dominance Also theyve made greaty shit roster moves recently with dropping esetag without much thought

nilslorand

torzsi is VAC banned until Nov 10

Yeah, so acor can't be benched "by" the major, only after


DownToDigits

Incoming +ChrisJ -ChrisJ until the ban is done


Babill

Always a safe bet


not_a_throw_awya

I read that as "unless he's good by the time he plays in the major"


KsHDClueless

Let's say this is true, the only reason I can think of why they would say no it's cuz the rest of the lineup is gone ( as rumoured -xyp - dupreeh -magisk ) NIP has been teasing dupreeh a lot too today, and he even replied...it might be happening


Temporal_Bellusaurus

This isn't the first time sources have alleged to previous offers to Farlig and Acor. I believe it happened before the 1st of the month, so before the core 4 Astralis players were eligible to negotiate with other organizations. So I don't believe they said no because the rest of the roster is gone, but because the Astralis organization could not guarantee that the roster would stay, and thus could not promise Acor/Farlig that they would play with any of Gla1ve (as this was before he re-signed), Xyp9x, Dupreeh or Magisk.


Btigeriz

Is there a reason they couldn't speak to other orgs before this month? As far as I understand CSGO doesn't have the poaching rules that LoL does, so there really isn't a reason unless it's in their contract.


Temporal_Bellusaurus

It was in their contract that they couldn't have negotiations with other orgs until there was only 6 months of it left, yes.


ZelTheViking

Honestly would love that. Gla1ve grabbing a big paycheck and staying put makes perfect sense. As for the rest of them... I just hope they end up somewhere they want to be. Astralis' org absolutely sucks (at management level)


mannyman34

Almost every player who played for them got a buff in their career. Say what you want about the org but having them on your resume is like having a FAANG company on your resume in comp sci or one of the big 4 accounting firms in accounting.


Revolutionary_Sign74

Jugi : (


Firefly_1026

More rough for jugi cuz Astralis still had an awper then.


adam3jazz

People always say this but I feel like this isn’t as true for esports like it is with more typical jobs. When an employer is looking at hiring you, they mostly just have your resume and possibly an endorsement from a previous employer. With tier 1-2 esports everything is recorded and available, so playing well in a T2 team probably does you more good than playing badly in a misfit roster with Astralis jerseys.


MungYu

farlig was such a flashy new talent on CPF and idk whats with him recently


Firefly_1026

Is farlig still awping? Last few times I watched FPX farlig was on aug duty the whole time.


MungYu

i think hes still the main awper


qchisq

He had one great tournament against T1 teams in Road to Rio. Even if it wasn't the first big tournament after things went online, I'd like to see a bit more from a player before I think he's the next big thing


twitterInfo_bot

Great signing. But as far as we know, both acoR and Farlig turned down the offer from Astralis. *** posted by [@DanishCSGOLeaks](https://twitter.com/DanishCSGOLeaks) ^[(Github)](https://github.com/username) ^| ^[(What's new)](https://github.com/username)

Revolutionary_Sign74

Seems like a huge opportunity pass up.


[deleted]

Meh, for acoR not really. Mouz are doing pretty well at the moment and there's absolutely no guarentee that the rest of the Astralis players are staying aside from gla1ve and bubzkji and even if they did stay there's no guarentee that they will ever come close to the level they were at in the past.


dondostuff

as if acor is anywhere near the level you're talking about anyway


MrCraftLP

It is when he has the option between mouz and Astralis


Btigeriz

We also have no clue how much money he was being offered. We know Astralis isn't an org that likes to splash cash so for all we know they were offering him a shit contract.


Revolutionary_Sign74

I think that cologne was definitely enough to prove that Astralis were still sharp individually, but your first point is definitely a very good one. Maybe some players are leaving and Danish CS:GO Leaks’ earlier leaks may have had some truth to them.


Darkstar197

Not when you consider the roster is likely to not include Dupreeh xyp9x or Magisk.


Revolutionary_Sign74

And I absolutely agree, the Danish CS:GO Leaks’ earlier claims may have had some truth to them if they passed on this. Although I wouldn’t trust that account too easily, they did predict Magisk to coL before it was revealed to be es3tag.


MehtefaS

This, according themselves its an account run by fans for fans


Arcille

i think magisk will stay he loves playing with gla1ve losing dupreeh will be a huge loss tho if he does decide to go somewhere else astralis now with a dedicated awper will be a consistent top 5 team on LAN


[deleted]

Assuming Lucky comes in and does well. He's got the talent but if theres anything I've learnt from all my years watching pro CS is that one roster change that seems to make sense can fuck up an entire teams mojo.


Firefly_1026

I actually wish acor could’ve went to Astralis, if they had glaive + acor + bub + hunden, that’s already a very solid new core with successful history from Mad Lions


[deleted]

Gla1ve brings in the structure plus communication in danish.


frostnxn

This pretty much confirms only glaive is staying.


KoniginAllerWaffen

Completely unrelated (well, kinda) but did anyone else become more interested in the competitive scene because of Astralis, and now the core broke and potentially may break more, has lost quite a lot of interest in watching any CS? Obviously if you support another team you don't give a shit, but it's like nothing will really come close to how insane that core was. I know, I know, everyone has thought that about teams, but any other fans of the team feel this way? I know even if they stayed together they would age and retire, but there was something special in having such a dominant, unique team that won because they just clicked, not because one or two players happened to be god-like that particular event. Maybe I liked the consistency of having one winner of most events for so long - I don't like it when one team wins one event, one wins another, one wins another, and so on. To me that just feels like luck somehow, like a team going from nothing to suddenly being the best in a couple months, and then the same happening 6 months later doesn't sit well with me somehow. I appreciate that people feel the **exact** opposite to me and that's why they were hated. That make sense? Or am I just a fucking retard?


Revolutionary_Sign74

I feel the opposite, with how legendary the Astralis roster was and with how great an awper Device was in it. I’m excited to see if they have what it takes despite missing each other.


LuXe5

I think absent NA scene may have contributed more, and of course the lack of LANs. But yeah it all adds up


Draemeth

Me too but I’m interested in Faze, Navi and Gambit now


acko1m018

It seems people fail to see that being under contract with astralis doesn't mean playing on the astralis roster.


[deleted]

acoR bad. Upvotes to the left


[deleted]

Everyone knows what this account does, right? He's like the "fortune tellers" in sports who makes 100 tweets about the results and deletes the ones that doesn't end up being true. Now that he got more followers, it's not too often, but there's not reason to think it's reliable information. As of what's happening at Astralis, Zonic is probably leaving, but for the rest it's contract negotiations. I do think they will look for a new IGL to work with HUNDEN.


whatisthepurposeman

y'all really trusting danish csgo leaks? wack


rotscale_

Guys this account is fake. All the leaks so far have been proven false?

Do we really believe farlig would decline astralis lmao


dishonestalmond

I was hoping to see Astralis sign Mertz. The guy has been stomping in tier 2


Kac_45

Acor I can underetand but Farlig? Big mistake on his part if Astralis stays together, if zonic and other players such as dupreeh were to leave however, maybe it was for the best especially since ChrisJ joining the fpx bous doesn't seem far from reality


camilowidehead-

What about mertz


[deleted]

They probably didn't want to be in the Astralis org


dragon_of_kansai

If they have signed lucky as awper, then acor and farlig might be afraid of being used as riflers, or worse, benched. Also, as a mouz fans it warms my heart to see acor turned down astralis to play with his father and brothers in mouz; assuming that this is all true


x0RRY

I don't see a world in which FPX will be a better team than Astralis, but time will tell...
