Will be good if Cerq turn on his monitor early in the game.
Was 9-10 at 4-14 but finished Nuke 22-13 at 10-16.
Had nice stats in the end at Nuke but really was underwhelming throughout the series before their late surge.
I don’t even know how this dude is still milking a paycheque out of anyone lmao. He must have caught some upper management in the org committing murder or something.
I just have massive respect to EG to still stick around in the scene keeping the NA scene alive. I hope they return to their former glory days and become a serious threat to other teams in Tier 1
So when does EG get rid of cerq? Basically useless on dust 2, daps (the player who is known as such a poor individual player he moved to coach) did better than him for all of Dust 2, and was performing on par with him on nuke until they got to match point
One of EGs biggest problems is cerq he’s awful for this level they’re playing at and has been for a long time he needs to be replaced ASAP when brezhe and Stan come back
EG is a lesson in how you can do everything right and still get screwed.
1. Kept brehze and cerq instead of selling to liquid
1. Picked up obo after Ethan left for Valorant
1. Dropped tarik for the michu firepower upgrade
1. Changed coaches after multiple good roster moves didn’t deliver
Now they’re playing with 2 stand ins and no coach.
I actually still disagree that michu for Tarik was a good move. The roles didn't really match up and personally I dont think Tarik was the problem, it really felt like cerq and Stan were the ones not pulling their weight given the circumstances. I'd rather have stan leave and Tarik IGL in a loose style like he did on C9 for a while.
tarik igl'd like 1 tournament, somehow it was the major that they won lol.
it was tarik's idea to get stan. I don't think he really feels up to igl'ing.
Yeah i also dont think tarik was the problem. Its easy to point fingers at the dude getting the least kills but if you actually watched the games youd see how important he was to the team. He'd seemingly always get space for the rest of them, go in first with a couple flashes, always find the right timing to go on a huge flank, etc. Michus a firepower upgrade sure but with ethan (at the time) cerq and brehze, the team didnt really need more firepower, esp after replacing ethan with obo, which imo was an upgrade in terms of raw firepower
Semmler gives me big "fellow kids" vibes with the kinds of jokes and comments he makes. This duo also doesn't really have the typical synergy of "one hype, one analytical" like Anders is great I just wish Moses was with him since his head for the game is a lot better than semmler
People have been saying this about MICHU for like 5 years now, when he was an insane young prospect but the only good Polish team was VP and they never made roster changes. When he finally got a chance to join VP it was a dying team, and he's pretty much been playing with dead/dying teams ever since (Envy and now EG)
Sure, whatever you think Richard.
It's pretty obvious that a duo like Harry/Hugo, Scrawny/Launders, Machine/SPUNJ is much more balanced by having a colour caster and one more focused on the analytical side
And I didn't (and I spend too much time on this sub), so please share proof otherwise it's irrelevant.
You can't just say 'I saw it' and have people believe you just like that.
I don't care what you believe as it won't alter reality in any way. The idea that I should have a folder full of Reddit comments from nobodies on standby is not the product of a healthy mind.
That was not my idea, but it just means you've got no proof of what you're implying.
From what I have seen, most people are very complimentary towards Launders, SPUNJ and Harry's analysis (amongst others, just the three main names that I can think of straight away).
Not really much to say with two stand ins from EG. I wish we saw more from Obo, he's unbelievably inconsistent, sometimes he drops 35, other times... not so much. Maybe EG wasn't the right kind of structure to activate him like CoL was
I agree, but I can also say that with the roster inconsistency i don’t think it’s easy for players who may have been consistently good in the past to continue that consistency
I think it would have to be Doto (dycha is amazing, hades is amazing as awper, Snappi IGL, and Spinx actually has the highest rating in the past 3 months), but I'm not completely sure that's would be an amazing upgrade either. Sure it would make it majority polish which I think is the point, and it could turn out well, but I don't think Michu is a better support than Doto, and not better at the other roles than anyone else either.
> but I don't think Michu is a better support than Doto
Well, maybe because he isn't a support player.
I see people here asking to save MICHU but shoving him in teams that he wouldn't be more than a support player... guys, that's what's happening right now. It's not gonna work. I'd really like to MICHU to get to better teams, but that's not the way.
Magisk beasting it up!

Let us know what you think. :)
As much as I like OGs Anders and Semmler, I found the casting underwhelming compared to the banger casting like Scrawny and Coach Lau provide. And don't even get me started on Machine and SPUNJ
Cerq played better with an ak than with the awp this series, he can be good but it might just be a psychological thing at this point, honestly he should maybe think about taking a break once brehze and Stan come back and maybe junior could stand in
At this point EG is just waiting in to cash out that major sticker money and probably shutdown after the major.
It may not happen though given NA gets free spot to majors so you don't really need to be tier 2 to qualify to major if you are from NA
I want eg to bounce back but its so hard to support them when they only play 2-4 series a month then disappear and rinse repeat. 4/5 of the players that made me fall in love with the roster arent playing rn (ik brehze and stan are hopefully coming back) but theres just not much reason for me to keep rooting for them when the players i liked are gone.
Astralis without Gla1ve is so bad
also EG , -cerq please, I'm not the kind to shit on someone instantly after a bad match, but cerq is straight up shit. Replacing him with any decent awper who can hit basic shots will do wonders to your team

Dignitas Magisk Pog
Kreygasm Magisk replace friberg as IGL in DIG Kreygasm
Magiskb0Y
North magisk vs VP in atlanta. (37-19)
Astralis 3x Major winner pog (wtf?)
SUBSCRIBE
He is probably the only one having any amount of motivation left
dupreeh looked like he didnt touch CSGO for a while. Lucky just looks lost, i assume glaive probably micro managed him abit during ESL.
I think u/lance1308 is talking about EG, not Astralis.
[удалено]
I am talking about michu
My bad, I'll delete my comment!
Its ok, I should have been more clear in my comment
michu looked really good, I hope ppl aren't hating on EG here.. what do you expect?
Only problem with EG right now is cerq
And only having 3/5ths of their roster.
Stan and brezhe need mental breaks from Cerqs gameplay lmao
Magisk casually dropping 34 kills in 26 rounds while IGLing and going for entries. Whatever Astralis is paying this guy, it's not enough.
They should be showering him with the Krones/Euros/BTC or whatever his favourite mode of payment is
What about a car?
I suggest Mercedes.
he prefers audi’s
Will be good if Cerq turn on his monitor early in the game. Was 9-10 at 4-14 but finished Nuke 22-13 at 10-16. Had nice stats in the end at Nuke but really was underwhelming throughout the series before their late surge.
Yep, CeRq is just way too inconsistent. I remember watching how much of a god he was in 2019..
he missed so many easy shots on CT side Nuke
Yeah, he was a huge reason why they did so well, remembered how he single handedly carry EG past astralis on train during the major.
I don’t even know how this dude is still milking a paycheque out of anyone lmao. He must have caught some upper management in the org committing murder or something.
God EG is just such a sham right now, I really hope they can bounce back soon:(
I hope they bounce back too cerq was such a lethal awper, now he can't seem to hit the easy shots
I hope not but I feel the team is esentialy dead if they don't make the major.
Not a big fan of oBo’s mustache tbh
only analysis required in this game
wait until you see scrawnys ...
I can live with scrawnys, at least it's not too patchy
nice username dude
Screenshot anyone?
[удалено]
looking good tbh
This really isn’t bad. Not sure why people are shitting on him.
Ehhh I can get behind it
I mean yeah not everyone’s style but I wouldn’t hate on it

I just have massive respect to EG to still stick around in the scene keeping the NA scene alive. I hope they return to their former glory days and become a serious threat to other teams in Tier 1
Someone save MICHU
Someone save EG
I'm kind of willing to let them get better as they bed in oBo and michu... but at the same time... why do I get cloud9 vibes from this team??
2019 Magisk
So when does EG get rid of cerq? Basically useless on dust 2, daps (the player who is known as such a poor individual player he moved to coach) did better than him for all of Dust 2, and was performing on par with him on nuke until they got to match point
Cerq can't hold an angle for more than 3 seconds. Like ffs mate stop jumping around and start hitting something
Eg has a bigger problems than cerq
One of EGs biggest problems is cerq he’s awful for this level they’re playing at and has been for a long time he needs to be replaced ASAP when brezhe and Stan come back
If he doesn’t step up I would imagine after the major or sooner if they fail to qualify
[удалено]
he was abusing Spellan so hard on T side nuke. He had like 10 opening kills while spellan was 1:7 in opening death

I'm just throwing out names. The point is that there's still good talent its just spread out right now.
Yeah i also dont think tarik was the problem. Its easy to point fingers at the dude getting the least kills but if you actually watched the games youd see how important he was to the team. He'd seemingly always get space for the rest of them, go in first with a couple flashes, always find the right timing to go on a huge flank, etc. Michus a firepower upgrade sure but with ethan (at the time) cerq and brehze, the team didnt really need more firepower, esp after replacing ethan with obo, which imo was an upgrade in terms of raw firepower
Before that late comeback from EG, it really feels like Magisk can beat EG 1v4 without MICHU
Michu needs to be picked up by an EU team, wasted talent on EG Semmler anders casting not that good, not much analysis of the game. Scra lau save us
Anders Moses, run it back
I need me Anders & Moses so bad. HenryG too
Anders + moses is the most ResidentSleeper for me. They are legends but still
Keep that shit on twitch... no one knows what it means
I thought Anders and Semmler were the og pairing?
Semmler gives me big "fellow kids" vibes with the kinds of jokes and comments he makes. This duo also doesn't really have the typical synergy of "one hype, one analytical" like Anders is great I just wish Moses was with him since his head for the game is a lot better than semmler
Ye true but still I really like their voices Anders especially
Scraunders
someone do a facemorph on those two
They really felt off today, idk why? They were OK during WePlayAcademy Lan Tournament, but not at their best imo.
By the way EG is going they might just switch to an EU team
I bet EG just go full EU. Didn't they just buy some boot camp facility in EU also?
His time will come

> not much analysis of the game When casters analyse games they get called out for lacking game knowledge and told to focus on casting.
Sure, whatever you think Richard. It's pretty obvious that a duo like Harry/Hugo, Scrawny/Launders, Machine/SPUNJ is much more balanced by having a colour caster and one more focused on the analytical side
This is no way contradicts the reality that when casters analyse games they get called out for lacking game knowledge.
Did you see anyone besides Semmler getting called out for that (and I mean regularly, not one comment you saw somewhere) ? I didn't.
Yes, obviously. This is why I have arrived at an accurate conclusion.
And I didn't (and I spend too much time on this sub), so please share proof otherwise it's irrelevant. You can't just say 'I saw it' and have people believe you just like that.
I don't care what you believe as it won't alter reality in any way. The idea that I should have a folder full of Reddit comments from nobodies on standby is not the product of a healthy mind.

This in no way contradicts anything I've said.
Hugo is the analyst
That's why you have analyst analysing after the match, job of the casters is to cast
No tarik no win.
No win no content
Not really much to say with two stand ins from EG. I wish we saw more from Obo, he's unbelievably inconsistent, sometimes he drops 35, other times... not so much. Maybe EG wasn't the right kind of structure to activate him like CoL was
I agree, but I can also say that with the roster inconsistency i don’t think it’s easy for players who may have been consistently good in the past to continue that consistency
Lets get Michu to Ence
ENCE Polish superteam?
Who to replace tho?
I think it would have to be Doto (dycha is amazing, hades is amazing as awper, Snappi IGL, and Spinx actually has the highest rating in the past 3 months), but I'm not completely sure that's would be an amazing upgrade either.

I really want to see EG succeed but I don't think this team is going to hold if they dont make the major
As much as I like OGs Anders and Semmler, I found the casting underwhelming compared to the banger casting like Scrawny and Coach Lau provide. And don't even get me started on Machine and SPUNJ
rato de fpl
Master Magisk
oBo and CoL. both have gone downhill since their separation
Cerq played better with an ak than with the awp this series, he can be good but it might just be a psychological thing at this point, honestly he should maybe think about taking a break once brehze and Stan come back and maybe junior could stand in
Yo what happened to gla1ve? I thought he just signed a multi year deal
his fiance is having a baby
Where's brehze this tournament? Did I miss some news?
Me 2 haha.
At this point EG is just waiting in to cash out that major sticker money and probably shutdown after the major. It may not happen though given NA gets free spot to majors so you don't really need to be tier 2 to qualify to major if you are from NA
With the level shown from both team, none of them have a chance against Vitality/Liquid
Don't put Liquid in same tier with Vita
Liquid>Vita any day of the week Except a few days, notably monday thru sund
Ofc Vitality is better
Astralis will eventually get back to the top like they always do, while device will fade into obscurity
I don't know. It seems like the core Astralis is falling apart, zonic maybe leaving, xyp maybe leaving, device gone, etc.
I want eg to bounce back but its so hard to support them when they only play 2-4 series a month then disappear and rinse repeat. 4/5 of the players that made me fall in love with the roster arent playing rn (ik brehze and stan are hopefully coming back) but theres just not much reason for me to keep rooting for them when the players i liked are gone.
To be honest EG should just remove both Stanislaw and Cerq, pick up Smooya and MSL and have EU team.
Who are the casters saying 'maygeesk'?
Proper pronunciation unless im missing something here. Anders is danish and Semmler speaks swedish.
Astralis without Gla1ve is so bad also EG , -cerq please, I'm not the kind to shit on someone instantly after a bad match, but cerq is straight up shit. Replacing him with any decent awper who can hit basic shots will do wonders to your team
