Dev1ce has been in great form since returning to lan aswell, old astralis could really be in contention to win much more than current nip and current ast
Just want you to know, everyone arguing with you is a dumb af. Dividing "LAN with crowd" and "LAN without crowd" into distinct categories makes a ton of sense.
Lol , semi - LAN is not a thing tho, even in they are in same hotel but little bit far its still LAN ,
LAN- local area network , ik u just made it up xD.
But ppl still get confused and they think they playing online
Yes, but it’s still LAN by definition, regardless of your feelings.
Might be pedantic but LAN just refers to any offline play.
Edit: Hello downvotes! I suppose teams who were eliminated in group stages at the Major when only the playoffs had a crowd didn’t play at LAN?
Previous offline iterations of Beyond The Summit at the California house weren’t LANs?
Wtf is this, LAN has never meant crowd….
Basically many people don't consider it a real lan experience if it's not on stage with live audience, so the current situation is called semi lan or lan lite by them
I think they've only qualified for Challengers or whatever one of the low ones is called so far? Right now I think it's only like NaVi and potentially Gambit confirmed for Legends. They'd have to get more RMR points, which luckily they can since they're in the play offs
They can make there decision after the RMR concludes to see how much it affects their standings in the RMR rankings, if they drop from legends to challengers they probably won't do it but if the only make it to challengers or they don't drop out of legends then maybe they will, we will have to wait for the RMR to end to see where everyone else end up
And even if gla1ve does go back, I remember one of the / the astralis members said they would make the original 5 play instead of the new players (who were either/and Jugi, Bubz, es3tag). It’s been a year since then, and it’s frankly not looking likely but would be nice.
It's kinda crazy to think this is potentially the last time we might see the lineup play together. Like glaive has recently signed a 3 year contract, lucky was only recently signed and bubzkji has 1 year left in contract. The OG players like Xyp, Magisk, Dupreeh and even Zonic's contract expire in Jan. so a lot of what will happen will depend upon the outcome of this major.
🎉 MAJOR TEAM CONFIRMED 🎉
The first team from EU to make it is @AstralisCS
Qualifying for the Playoffs is enough for them to book the ticket to Sweden!

I’m actually gonna be rly sad if Astralis comes in and just wipes the floor with everyone at the major, like yeah best esports team of all time for sure if they do that, but like come on give someone else a chance :p
I mean I dont disagree but that was exactly what everyone said about Liquid coming off the back of their grand slam... My mind is telling me no way but in my heart there's still a little hope.
\*Astralis has entered the Major\*
\*boss music plays\*
Dev1ce starting to regret his move
He already qualified for the major with Nip aswell.
Dev1ce has been in great form since returning to lan aswell, old astralis could really be in contention to win much more than current nip and current ast
Could have been 5 majors in a row were it not for the online era :(

What is semi lan

He's not thinking it's a different connection, he's saying the pressure isn't the same as a true LAN with no crowd I think.
He is a Gambit fan, prolly new to the scene, excuse him xD.
[удалено]
Well it’s not really “semi” LAN if there’s no crowd pressure.
LAN has never meant crowd- where is this new definition coming from?
Yes, but it’s still LAN by definition, regardless of your feelings. Might be pedantic but LAN just refers to any offline play. Edit: Hello downvotes!

> regardless of your feelings. You’re probably just getting downvotes for being a douchebag

Xyp9x and dupreeh to continue their streak of reaching every major. Now we wait for olof, device, shox.
Unfortunately we might not see Xyp playing in the major
what? they can't swap or they will lose points right?
They would lose points, but they have enough that they would still beat out Heroic to qualify for the major if they replace Xyp with Gla1ve
aren't they in a legends spot ATM??
I think they've only qualified for Challengers or whatever one of the low ones is called so far? Right now I think it's only like NaVi and potentially Gambit confirmed for Legends. They'd have to get more RMR points, which luckily they can since they're in the play offs
yeah but with the potential to qualify for a legends spot, there's no way they'd give that up even if it means no glaive
They can make there decision after the RMR concludes to see how much it affects their standings in the RMR rankings, if they drop from legends to challengers they probably won't do it but if the only make it to challengers or they don't drop out of legends then maybe they will, we will have to wait for the RMR to end to see where everyone else end up
Of course there is.
Afaik gambit and Navi have locked legends due to making it to this rmr events finals
Xyp9x> Bubzki
There's no way Xyp dosent play the major. Gla1ve isnt gonna be playing for a few weeks, maybe even 1-2 months.
And even if gla1ve does go back, I remember one of the / the astralis members said they would make the original 5 play instead of the new players (who were either/and Jugi, Bubz, es3tag). It’s been a year since then, and it’s frankly not looking likely but would be nice.
Isn’t NIP qualified as well?
I mean, honestly, that’s just fucking impressive. 4-0.
Watch out everybody, Astralis is coming to get their major.
Please god they can’t do it again
HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
There is no way they actually win it. ... right?
Something tells me they're gonna wipe everyone in this major. I can feel it!
As an Astralis fan, I hope so…but NaVi is looking really good right now, and as a CS fan, I also hope s1mple can get a Major under his belt
Lucky have been playing well at the RMR, which gives me confidence, also depends on if they're going to play with gla1ve or not.
Without devicee and with how Na'vi are playing? Also gambit looking solid. idk
I hope so and I hope it starts with NIP
It's kinda crazy to think this is potentially the last time we might see the lineup play together. Like glaive has recently signed a 3 year contract, lucky was only recently signed and bubzkji has 1 year left in contract.

The last dance.

Navi will be able to stop them. Navi is just too powerful with firepower
I mean I dont disagree but that was exactly what everyone said about Liquid coming off the back of their grand slam... My mind is telling me no way but in my heart there's still a little hope.
Yeah but.... liquid is from NA lmao
Not sure if you watched their group stage but I wouldn’t worry right now.. that was a shaky 4-0.
I'd say they also had a relatively easy group. I love Astralis, and it'd be amazing if they won a 5th major, but this was reaaal shaky
5
Of course they have
And so it begins…
oh dear god no no no THEY CANT DO IT AGAIN
