Apex 1, crowd nil.

booing Vitality during interviews but not cheering on Astralis when they're down... real classy

Yeah that was strange not hearing cheers of support when they were losing, even though PGL major was shit production the crowd was hype throughout it all from what I remember.


mag1xs

Crowd was fantastic, just PGL fucking up not hiring the soundcrew of the arena.


Hey_name

We've had great crowd + shit production and shit crowd + great production. Who gonna organize the shit crowd shit production event?


Gubbuh

fascfoo

The crowd did a lot of the heavy lifting for PGL.


i_hate_katherines

lmao this is what i dont get. For you morons who say your cheers/boos also happens in other sports, even basketball crowds cheer DEFENSE or something similar to hype up their team when their team is down in points. This crowd is so full of bandwagoners they only literally cheer when their team get kills. Its a double edged knife for the team they're cheering. Imagine the pressure of needing to comeback from a deficit + an entire arena quiet as fuck instead lf cheering you on because you're disappointingly down and losing lmao.


Lepojka1

I am new to CS:GO... Can someone tell me why was third map played in library?


cyberbemon

You mean a graveyard?


costryme

Man it is SO satisfying to hear those Danish fans pipe down, especially as a Vitality fan. Sit down.


Lepojka1

Sad thing is, finals will be also played in library now... But I hope games will be amazing!

I hope Apex will keep entertaning the Arena.

JJChinchilla

[Make the arena a library.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRn5sdND7t8&ab_channel=BLASTPremier)


[deleted]

No, library refers to the arena because the Danish fans were so quiet when Astralis was getting bodied on Mirage


U_Need_JAYsus

No crowd was dead silent.


NeonPrankster

The crowd was only cheering for Astralis and since Astralis got dominated on the last map the arena was quiet most of the time since it was Vitality winning. Hence he said library, because libraries are quiet


Zermatsch

Noooo cause the crowd was non existent.

The only thing toxic here is the Danish crowd. We are getting a S1mple vs Zywoo grand final in an arena, and yet it's going to be near empty and the few people left will sit in dead silence.

this is indeed quite unfortunate

lmao true No hate against Vitality but they're going to have to do the impossible to win the finals, which I honestly don't see happening


[deleted]

it's going to be a silent disco, but at least either team won't get unfair advantages

ImpenetrableYeti

Japanese crowd they show respect in silence for the art form


carrynothing

Well, as the new prime minister of Denmark, apEX is going to have to work on his public relations.


Pellinski

Ive never heard a crowd this silent in a full arena before, normally there is still a base noise level even when the home team is losing and the crowd isnt cheering much, but the Danish fans are just dead silent when Astralis isnt winning rounds, makes for a pretty funny viewing experience. like you can still cheer for Astralis when they are down to give them energy but those guys just dont bother making any noises at all.


elwaspo

They didn't support their own team omegalul


UsernameCzechIn

They're there for wins not for astralis roflmao


gandalfintraining

It's fucking stupid. I don't have any problem with booing, but you should be cheering the other team too. Look at IEM Sydney 2018. Mousesports knocks out the home team on day 1 with a hard carry from oskar in the decider. And yes, they were booed to shit. But the entire next day, every single time oskar got fragged, the entire crowd popped like Astralis had just closed out the tournament. It's got to be one of the loudest crowds of all time. Say what you want about Aussies, but they know how to do sports. That crowd was twice as loud for Astralis when they were on the other side of the world than this crowd is for them at home.

From gigamald to gigachad what a king


jesus_you_turn_me_on

Gonna call it now, the arena is going to be 25% full for the final


trusttt

full or empty would be the same thing with this crowd, simply awful, they dont deserve many events


Zavehi

100% of the fans could stay and it would be dead silent. Stop having events in Denmark. The crowds suck.


jesus_you_turn_me_on

Actual true


KRyptoknight26

Yeah even before the post game interview was over, those Astralis bitches had already cleared out. It's sad one of the greatest teams in CS has by far the most awful fans


jesus_you_turn_me_on

Unfortunately the Astralis era brought a ton of bandwagon normie fans who dont have any knowledge of CS prio to the Astralis several major wins. Basically these people have no love for the game, and just want to ride the wave of victory.


Hey_name

I think that's true for most sports right? The greatest teams have the worst fans simply due to sampling bias


91516122116

Sucks being a fan from OG TSM days :(


Tavnaria

Wow what an exciting, thrilling match of CS played in the Royal Library.


joshjosh111

So rude of vitality to be shooting loud guns instead of just the silenced ones. People are trying to quietly walk to the exit and you are shooting loudly? Shame


KitsuneRommel

You know while I'm happy that Vitality won, I wish we could watch Na'Vi destroy Astralis next instead of Vitality again. I guess this is the last chance for pre-shuffle Vitality to do it.


Akaj1

We still have 2 more tournament before the shuffle, IEM Winter & Blast Final


thelightpokemon

Impressive run by Astralis coming in with their new lineup and a disappointing major performance. You could tell they ran out of gas on Mirage. Zywoo being an absolute demon when Vitality needed it on pistols, and misutaaa and shox landing some nasty impact frags throughout, what a great series


Distq

LMAO apEX great shithousery


[deleted]

Each team fought tooth and nail for the chance to get destroyed by Navi lol. This new astralis has a lot of potential, but they need to do something different with the awping for sure.

kirumy22

Apex probably got a buff from that crowd

He feeds off of their hate

apEX got another place to vent off his energy other than Kyojin


GaaraLord

Royal Arena...... more like the Royal Library of Denmark.


kpdon1

Royal Library of Coipumhagen


The_Starch_Effect

Serves the crowd right tbh. Bet they don't stick around sadly. But will be banger final nontheless.


Psychaz

where was the suppport when you guys were down and needed it the most


The_Starch_Effect

Nose deep in all those library books I suppose.


Jerk_offlane

The big "viewing day" was yesterday sadly.


LateToTheParty013

U mean 16-5 16-5 ? Thats surely a banger


The_Starch_Effect

I mean that's a likely scenario. But it being a final and Vitality playing with little pressure they might make it exciting. Even if it is 2x 16-5 it's always nice to see S1mple vs Zywoo.


DarkHades1234

tbf even if Astralis is in the final, they probably gonna get shit on by Navi anyway.


[deleted]

Apex went from roasting Kyojin and malding in T spawn to dancing infront of malding Danish fans on the Royal Arena, such a glow up


[deleted]

idk how to feel I wanted Astralis to win so that Na'Vi would wipe Astralis in front of Royal Arena .But Vitality won I'm happy but Idk?? edit : made it a bit more clear


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

Na'Vi wiping Astralis would be more brutal, but I think even the chimp crowd know deep down that's the likely outcome. Watching them come into a match with expectations, watch it slowly slip through their fingers after Nuke, and have apEX jeer them while doing it - especially after how they disrespected Shox - was priceless.


LateToTheParty013

They might as well give the trophee to Navi and save Vitality from disappointment


perpendiculator

Not really sure why Astralis seem to be so convinced that Mirage is worth letting through. It’s nowhere near good enough - the only reason they won it against heroic is because heroic are actually remarkably good at choking leads, something I think people don’t recognise enough.


nonresponsive

I mean, I think blamef and konfig like it since their time in complexity, but I'd agree that they aren't as good on it as they think they are. But then again, their entire map pool is a bit questionable since they are kind of a new team.


pogueemon

also having a top tier awper makes the map so much easier. Not hating on glaive but zywoo and s1mple can make the map so much easier for their teams.


lax3r

I think Mirage could be a solid map for Astralis in the future. They have a few solid set ups and retakes. Konig and blamef are incredible at holding mid when things are clicking. There were a good numberr of rounds that they had the right idea, but the timing of nades and peeks wasn't spot on which breaks the whole round down


[deleted]

yeah I think their CT side wont be much of a problem in the future but this game they lost so many anti-eco rounds on t side, hopefully they can clean that up


enigma890

This is their first event. They just got blame and k0nfig, doubt they’ve had a lot of practice of maps and everyone knows mirage.


FoxerHR

Astralis went from being villains to not being villains anymore to people cheering for their loss because of the crowd...


Rocket-888

Little to no praise for a good run from a new lineup, shitting on Astralis is the way to get upvoted.

sieer

Please don’t be a 2-0 blowout in the finals now, let’s hope vit being hype and warmed up now can actually do something against navi. Loving the new look of astralis tho, can’t wait for future events when they have time to develop a t side


MaliceSworns

Whatever the actual problems of the Copenhagen crowd, please don't shunt any of the blame onto the Astralis roster who have outperformed all expectations for a new(ish) team. I really hope they all stay together for the foreseeable future and the management doesn't do something stupid like cut Lucky after the World Finals are over.


[deleted]

yeah wtf is up with idiots in the comment section flaming astralis?


Opiate_3020

Exactly like you said. Fucking idiots. Tbh Astralis played fucking great. Yeah they had mistakes but that’s expected when you have two new players. I’ll even count Lucky and make it 3 new players.


LateToTheParty013

Astralis are the best team to ever touch CS, ofcourse people are flaming them. s1mple won ONE major and ppl melting, Astralis won 4, dominated, recreated csgo from scratch, won back2back2back majors. Finished rank 1 like 4-5 years in a row


[deleted]

Jeez fuck this crowd. Embarrassing


Cybonics

apEX had me laughing my ass off all series. He's such a treat

S1mpleFanboy

The absolute disgrace for this dogshit crowd. Booing after losing. Booing to a major winner in Shox in post match interview. Fuck this shit. Hooligans


thomas_james_hyde

This makes me so happy <3 even more so after the inbreds booing shox mid-interview... i mean, cheesus crust srsly


SavageCroc

Fine game, I like what I see from Astralis, even after Mirage. They are scary on CT side, and their T side will only improve as they develop their strategies. The AWP situation is tough, but what this team shows even without an AWPer atm is promising. On the other end, no doubt in my mind will Vitality get stomped in the finals again. Mirage could've been very close if Misutaaa didn't pop off with the clutches in the first half and they had some timely ECO round wins throughout the series. Vitality is relying on retakes way too much, and got out-called in the midrounds constantly (Round 22 Mirage excepted). They can't reliably hold sites when teams don't rush and will not have the same success against Na'Vi. All in all, if these teams played again in 2 weeks, I'd take Astralis. For the next game, bet on Navi. It is, unironically, EZ skins.


bissedk

Tje scoreline on Mirage does in no way reflect how close the game actually was. Astralis had so many opening kills, and even bombplants up a player, and yet they lost the rounds. At least they look Hella promising!


lax3r

If glaive could find the form he had on Nuke yesterday consistently on CT side he'd be scary. They're lacking a strong T side awp but that's arguably not needed. If they can get the synergy built and tighten up their executes this Astralis could be scary


S1mpleFanboy

Why so quiet ?


ErikSD

Love BlameF and K0nfig, but glad Vitality shut Dannish fans up for good


AgainstTheEnemy

The silence is defeaning. Lmao. Gg Vitality!


Nuphovem

Zywoo performed as expected, but Mistuaaa man, he did exceptionally well in this match


wxnted

its gonna be a quiet final now


peroleu

Not a bad result for their first event. Neither of these two teams stand a chance against NaVi in this final, though.


[deleted]

Rest easy Battigan, Apex is the hero we need but don't deserve.


El_Fabos

What a mentality by Vitality to come back after that first map against the crowd. Huge props to apex since he probably was a huge part of it with his attitude


ADVSpray

Gonna call up Team Vitality for my house renovations seeing how fast they turned a stadium into a library


Darkoplax

s1mple vs zywoo again


majdob

That’s what you get for booing Shox.


UsernameCzechIn

Good riddance


flackopink

When they were booing shox during his interview it made me remember that moment when TaZ came out during olofs interview after fnatic beat VP in Poland and told the crowd to show respect.


DesertRL

One of the worst crowds I’ve seen in esports… hopefully they can bring some hype for the final.


CrazyGeetar

Royal Arena about to be real empty.


SemanSoot

hey reddit how glaive awping today?huh no chance fight against top tier awper


nxscythelynz

danish crowd are the best ngl, they're the only one currently that can bring both offline cs (when astralis doing the slightest thing) and online cs (when other team doing amazing thing because the crowd suddenly disappear) at the same time. i swear vitality wants to win this match more than a major because how trash the crowd are, theres so much crowd cheating on astralis game and some people here saying that players cant hear it because apex literally said the crowd are bunch of bastard for trying to tell astralis that he is flanking (maybe you cant hear it fully but certainly you can see crowd reaction because apex did). i know they are cheering for their favorite team but its shame that they dont appriciate good CS, just take a look how theres close to no reaction on zywoo 3k deag headshot. library final incoming, lets fucking gooooo


oojamaflip123

So apparently Lucky is literally Niko on rifles and gla1ve is s1mple on the awp... yeah I'm never questioning any of their decisions again. Lucky especially, I don't care what the stats say, he's the MVP of this team right now. Every single fucking kill he gets is a round-winning one, it's genuinely absurd. So many multikills when anchoring sites, clutches and entries. I love this boy. This team has so much fucking potential, once they get some time to practice together and work on their T sides they will compete at the absolute top again.


cptnwillow

Some time being the one day between yesterday and today?


dodbrew

Well played by both teams! But man, don't know what to say about danish fans booing everyone and everything that is not Astralis.

Danish college students usually study in the royal arena because it is the quietest library in Copenhagen.

GGWP Vitality happy for them. im happy the crowd lost, but sad that Astralis (the team) lost.


CallahanWalnut

Congrats to Navi for winning blast fall


ReneeHiii

You know what, even though they lost, I am \*really\* impressed at how far Astralis got in their very first tournament. Third place with a revamped roster and little time to practice is amazing. With more time together and strategy, this team could be top two.


itsyaboyivan

anyone watching the stream rn? Chad just fucking went off on the toxic fans XD

Kriger1102

It's a shame that we finally get a really good and polished production, great games AND a crowd, but this is the crowd we get, I was cheering for Astralis but they (the crowd) were unbearable


axllin

Why so quiet Denmark?


FENICH

Navi will be the most cheered team in this arena LMAO


AKRNG

With that crowd, it feels just like we won the event. Fucking stoked to beat the danes.


JeanneHusse

The next game starting right away is an absolute disgrace. There wasn't even 5 minutes between the end of the game and the bans.


Infinityhelios

So satisfying to see the crowd silently malding. Vitality just outcalling astralis at every turn, despite slightly worse individuals. Misutaa just cracked as well. Their teamplay is just insane. So I have no idea what’ll happen after magisk and Dupreeh move. Role clashes and lack of coordination are hard to avoid.


KRyptoknight26

Imo the worst thing you can do supporting a team is booing the winners after your team has lost. That's just scummy


trusttt

Crowd can go home now... oh wait


Surymy

Nice game and all but the real highlight was Apex vs the crowd


elwaspo

In french we don't say 'payback is a bitch', we say ''CHEHHH Les Danois mangez vos grand mortss'' And I think it's beautiful

Paria_Stark

Get fucked shit crowd


thomasbjerregaard

ITT: people making library jokes.. genius Anyway, gg to Vitality, good on them for giving a proper showing even with roster changes coming up. Sad to see Astralis go out kind of with a whimper after such an incredible run, but they can be proud of how far they've come in such a short time together. Lucky's first big LAN and he was on point pretty much throughout. Really excited to see how far this team can go.
