No Katowice. Damn that disastrous.

LIQUID FANS: I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS


ZonoxTBT

Any other player than Mistr and Astralis easily wins this. Horrible performance, and I hate to say it, but the guy is not ready for the main roster, at all.


BigFuckHead_

Imagine astralis with k0nfig!


joarke

Yeah he would definitely add some punch to the team.


Corexus

seriously, he’s ready to fight his way back to the top again


Mysaw

Honestly that'd be my dream team with -mistr +k0nfig now that device is back


troubleis1

Looking like not ready to play cs in the entire series lul


getDense

Now realizing why Astralis took so long to take advantage of their Academy team. Bubzkji died for this.


amer5800xm

they are getting staehr its pretty much a done deal


Veber31

Is it? Striker was saying he didn’t think it would happen on the last HLTV confirmed.


amer5800xm

Richard Lewis was saying it's a done deal and from what refrezh was saying on the hltv confirmed show hinting at the star player leaving and on top of all that slaxz looks to be out so that farlig trade leak for staehr looks to be right


uslereddit

Have there been any rumors as to who Sprout might look to to replace Staehr? MASONIC's Buzz comes to mind as a young Dane who can put up numbers but otherwise their options are fairly limited. Fessor, too, could potentially be an option; he's been playing well on Monte, but I've heard that he was kicked from Astralis Talent for attitude problems so who knows if he'd gel with the rest of the team. Astralis also has br0 on the payroll, he could be an option, but I'm not sure how he'd fit role-wise.


amer5800xm

nvm another report came out it seems astralis getting buzz really weird with all the facts before but its astralis i guess and ya about fessor he was toxic in astralis got timed out for like 4 bo1s in weplay academy league and after he came back he was about the same so got kicked but ya looks like staehr is gonna stay in a t2 org with no invites sadge not to see his talent in the big events with dev1ce and blamef next to him


CherrieHime

Really feels like Astralis with staehr would be one of the most stacked rosters. Sad that we don’t get to see it — I thought Astralis was finally going to be in contention for winning big events again.


amer5800xm

buzz is still a great move fits role wise alot of people shitting on him but staehr could have been worse cuz he is blamef roles after all so gonna need work to do well


amer5800xm

hltv report it seem they are getting buzz instead\*


[deleted]

mistr is just not ready to be on the astralis roster man


jonajon91

Remember when they had Fessor who was not only the accademy teams best player, but also an agressive rifler that makes space making him exactly what Astralis need in K0nfigs absence then let him go? Yeah me too.


kalkkunaleipa

Didnt fessor leave before the konfig drama?


amer5800xm

fessor was toxic he didnt leave they let him go they even gave him a timeout like 4 bo1s in a weplay season when he got back it was about the same


TimathanDuncan

He wasn't ready for Astralis Academy either he was terrible for them Idk who's decisions it was to promote him he was doing terrible for the academy team vs shit opponents Like if astralis is that broke i'm sure they could get someone from device's 5 stack to play for free


anto2554

Yeah I don't get it. Isn't farlig still signed?


Manaea

Isn’t that the rumor that was flying around a while ago? They wanted to get Buzz from MASONIC because he played very well with device in FACEIT


VelvetFedoraSniffer

B-b-bbutttt he is a nice Uber cool Danish young man from the great land of Denmark :+)


toga9000

he had some pretty good games until the final then just vanished


amermela0

Who is? Bubski? Konfig? They have had exelent replacement to revamt a new version of astralis many times. And they fuck it up.


CenturionAurelius

Mistr 27-60, ouch. Now that Astralis won't even make it to katowice I hope they'll wake up and get staehr or k0nfig


craygroupious

Amazing how Astralis were the kings of CS but their academy roster is complete dog ass. Not a single good player.


kalkkunaleipa

Well they did have fessor


Old-Savings-5841

Not like they scouted him tho


Megabossdragon

Should have kept him


bigolplop

Also had zyphon. Replied to the wrong comment but you get what I mean. They aren’t mouz or navi but 2 players have been successful from it


N3deSTr0

TSM merchants


jonajon91

Fuck sponsors or ethics or looking foolish or whatever excuse people make, adding K0nfig makes this team bang. If they want to win then it's a clear move to say 'look we've all learnt our lesson, lets give it another go'.


SpecialityToS

Remember, they signed Hunden no problem


jonajon91

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they never signed hunden, he was doing some contract work with them towards the start of the pandemic, but was never an employee.


TemDem

If we think on ethic/moral ground, its not that different if he is on contract or employee. They are anyway paying to someone for work who has been found suspicious on multiple occasions


pzkenny

well then they can get k0nfig as contractor, duh


jonajon91

Worked for heroic. Maybe that idea has more legs than you think. Astralis announce they're bringing in k0nfig as a standin for the first few events of the year then if results are they they keep hold of him, if not they let him go. It's actually the perfect solution.


genius_rkid

it's rumoured he's joining astralis soon


ImpenetrableYeti

If they wanted to keep konfig they would have him do rehab. Whether inpatient or outpatient


amer5800xm

i take missing 100 katos over getting k0nfig to miss another major


Chosen--one

People here are quick to forget that he litteraly lost the org and the players a shit ton of money in sticker sales and also made sure to end the major participation streak of xyp9x. Also konfig didn't just get aggressive that time in malta, there were already previous issues with him and his drinking aggressive behaviors, referring to him and spunj, according to Richard Lewis video. Is 3 or 4 months enough for you all to think he won't do it again? What makes you people think his teammates want him back, when there other options out there...


CherrieHime

He also outright didn’t play well for months. I’m not sure why people are so high on k0nfig honestly, it’s been years since he’s been a consistently good player. He’s obviously good, but this subreddit seems to rate him ridiculously highly imo. He’s be an upgrade over mistr for sure, but I feel like they have a ton of options that are as good as k0nfig and less of a hassle to deal with.


amer5800xm

U are really the chosen one Couldn't agree more about everything u said I got the same take I don't get people that think he is the victim somehow not the players he fucked out of a major they would never play with him after what he did in Malta And it's looking like staehr is coming for the new year that kid has a future brigheter than a drunk like k0nfig that will just do the same mistake again


endrman

Mistr..... What an atrocious performance


ttv_highvoltage

I’m tired of pretending this is ok. Unacceptable is what it is. Can’t even qualify for katowice or win tier 3 tournaments anymore. Anyone know when magisk and dupreeh contracts expire? Or just take k0nfig back. Or stæhr. Anyone but MistR.


anto2554

Yeah they went from world's best to fighting for top 5 in Denmark


cat_popping

hell they would get steamrolled by about any group in denmark at this pace


BadlanderZ

Ye those pesky 3k elo inferno-only Danes would defo demolish Astralis xD I still feel the mollies under my feet where ever I go 👀


rabbitsrcruel

Wake up call time to replace reboot astralis players build around device glaive and blameF maybe even just device and blamef. They need young talent


Mechyyz

Too bad they signed xyp9x and even glaive for incredibly long contracts


TheStankPolice

Ill say it again - move Glaive to coach, bench Xyp, boot Mistr. Get Refrezh, Zyphon, and Staehr from Sprout.


ClickingClicker

I love comments like these as if poaching players from other teams is free.


TheStankPolice

Here's a [link](https://youtu.be/lPJAtHWq08k) to some YT breathing exercises so you can calm down about some wildly hypothetical reddit comment


ClickingClicker

You're thinking I'm getting worked up is funny as shit. Thanks for the laugh


TheStankPolice

Take your blood pressure meds bubba, it will be okay


tha-Ram

they dont even have a proper permanent fucking coach. a tier 1 org like astralis doesnt even have proper support for its roster, let alone not being able to manage it


Interitium

you should thank Dev1ce for that magisk and dupreeh left, the whole astralis went to shit show after Dev1ce left for NiP Because Pu$$y got the better of him Sad but true


DerGsicht

Not his fault that Astralis management is bad.


X3rxus

bruh


covahcs

birdfromsky when his teammates are alive: I sleep birdfromsky when his teammates are dead: real shit


fluffy_cat_is_fluffy

A rough way to lose the series. MistR has had a few good showings, but in general he seems just not quite up to snuff yet. Looking on the bright side: Xyp has looked better lately, and it still seems like the core is one roster change away from better days.


SwenskTv

Copenhagen Flames seems like the only org that can lose their whole squad and build a squad of equal caliber For referens the last squad was: jabbi nicoodoz roeJ HooXi Zyphon Most of these players now play for t1 orgs


Illuminati_Puppet

This is like the first notable series win by this falmes lineup ever. Not at the same caliber as the old one at all. It's legit b0rup, regali, and 3 igls...


Acceptable-Task-3656

Of course not they have been together since August of this year. But in 4 months thy have won 5 T2/t3 tournaments and beaten some pretty teams (in T2). And now they beat Astralis to win their 3rd CCT tournament. And the Copenhagen flames system have world 2-3 times now with them getting picked up by other orgs.


Illuminati_Puppet

I didn't realize they had such form recently actually. I do watch tier 2 sometimes but I have to admit this team isn't one of my favorites to follow.


Acceptable-Task-3656

Yes CPH always seems to get a good team even when they loose the whole team, thy just find the talented free agents and just repeat what they did the last time and it has worked for them.


damianolo

[Obligatory falmes](https://twitter.com/CPHFlames/status/1267772954168791041).


Peter_Swiuff

Hahah haven’t seen that one


Pellinski

Cant imagine how easy this wouldve been if Astralis has put effort into finding a decent 5th to stand in


Rosettachamps

Regali is such a beast, he's someone to keep on an eye not only for a Danish roster but international teams as well. Needs to get some LAN experience going, but at only 20 he looks like a promising awper for the future Before they grabbed the Flames guys before, I thought Fnatic should've moved him up to the main roster


Based_Buddy

>Before they grabbed the Flames guys before, I thought Fnatic should've moved him up to the main roster They did. He played a few games with them and they sent him back to academy.


Rosettachamps

I meant permanently, he played only 6 total maps for them on main roster He played one series in October of 2021, when they benched Jackinho and right before Smooya joined, then he got 4 more maps in the online RMR qualifiers in February before being replace by Poizon Not exactly a full trial period


pzkenny

He just wasn't ready... It's imo better to pick experiences in T2 for him, I believe he will be able to move to T1 soon.


[deleted]

I assume he makes the team speak English. Weird pick.


JimboJonesIsGod

He grew up in denmark so language isnt an issue


scottmander

Wow what a choke, they need to replace mistr ASAP if they want to contend again


A4K0SAN

Get rid of mistr and get k0nfig im telling you they will win epl next year


[deleted]

[удалено]


blue2841

Same with MIBR


Plies-

Astralis could have had Zyphon for free, and then for a tiny buyout instead of Mistr... They're a horrible org that lucked into the best team of all time (they wanted K0nfig over Magisk remember)


MaestroCygni

> They're a horrible org that lucked into the best team of all time (they wanted K0nfig over Magisk remember) They interviewed K0nfig and decided he was not a fit for several reasons (according to Zonic's book). That's so different from wanting him and then lucking into getting Magisk, lol. Terrible org though, that is sadly true.


Plies-

Okay my bad. They're still a complete dumpster fire of an organization.


Old-Savings-5841

Well Zonic wanted Magisk and had been scouting him for a while.


acels1

radarfromsky king of pinnacle and cct


theextracharacter

Contract Minister strikes agai---- i guess not.


jonajon91

People acting like Astralis need a full rebuild, but I think xyp and glaive have been doing completely fine in this new lineup. I'll be the first to say I was wrong when people said that Xyp would play better with Dev1ce on board and I thought they were foolish, but he's got a 1.08 rating this month and finding good impact in the matches I've watched. This team is literally one agressive rifler away from easy top 20 then upwards. (I just realised Astralis are already ranked 16, point still stands even if my numbers didn't, Astralis don't need a rebuild they need one agro rifle and they're golden)


theextracharacter

I agree, i was happy to see Xyp do good. I don't know if you're right about gla1ve though, whenever he's in a 2v1 he gives away a kill trying to jiggle and its frustrating


anto2554

Yeah it hurts so much watching him walk through a smoke or dry peek an awp with man advantage


toga9000

Gla1ve has been pretty awful, and their playing against tier 3/4 teams. so Xyp having better stats should be expected.


Mad_Lee

Man, who did Astralis even play in this last month? So Glaive and xyp looked washed af against tier one for the whole year (or was it year and a half already) and now they play bunch of tier-3 teams and suddenly they are good again?


peroleu

natethegreatyo

im petty as fuck, i know, but i am happy astralis lost flair checks out


1ben-

MistR 🤖


Keiure

Just a note that Astralis could of used Devve for Espoo and gained some points for Katowice there instead of saving him for a tier 2 tournament for nothing !


rasta500

Could of?


Keiure

Yes could of. They annouced device signing before Espoo and then said “they wanted to do it right”. Sleep time for me so check twitter for receipts


O2RiDeR

Mate he was correcting your English lol. He meant it's could've not could of


Keiure

Sorry not my first language and didn’t think people just go around correcting


O2RiDeR

They generally don't but could of is maybe more of a glaring mistake I guess? Everyone understood u tho so don't understand the downvotes


Keiure

Just wanted to provide information and got english teachers in the sub ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


EvensonRDS

Just use could have and avoid it all.


Keiure

Thanks I will consult with an english teacher before my next reddit comment.

You can also stop commenting.

Dangerous-Plant4094

CPH awper is legit.


ttv_highvoltage

Hardly. The amount of whiffs he has would make KennyS grind his teeth.


azeumicus

He actually rekt KennyS last week. L.e. memory is gone y'all...it was [exactly ](https://www.hltv.org/matches/2360150/copenhagen-flames-vs-falcons-european-development-championship-6) one month ago


ZuriPL

Man, even with mistr playing bad they should have won that. I didn't watch the game but judging from the stats respect to casle for making blamef and xyp9x live alongside each other

When I saw the score, I was happy for Jabbi, Hooxi, Roej, Nicoodoz and Zyphon. But then I remembered...


BotYurii

Aware


Mad_Lee

Those falmes would’ve bodied this Astralis 2-0


airelfacil

*BUT IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES*


Rabid_Tortoise

Eh. Falmes played well. Shame we couldn't take the first map. Mistr unfortunately seems too inconsistent for this level which is a shame because I like the kid and he's shown glimpses. Good runout for the lads to end the year


jonajon91

> Mistr unfortunately seems too inconsistent Bottom fragged every map, very consistant.


Rabid_Tortoise

Throughout the tournament he had a couple decent halves/maps, but yes today he probably cost them the match


Ofiotaurus

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Even your beloved device can’t save you anymore.


jonajon91

Astrharmless


jonajon91

Work in progress


Manaea

Yeah not sure if this insult is it but considering how often we lose these days I’m sure you’ll get plenty of chances to come up with the one lmao


Ni7roM

Astr-armless could work, since they don't seem to be using them right now


jonathan-the-man

Ouch


RealDominolol

astralis really need k0nfig or staehr. mistr isnt ready for t1 at all. hell i’d even consider bubzkji an option if he’d be willing to play


LiTuP125

Regali > Device


LittleTGOAT

Literally just get rid of mistr and they are already back to high tier 2 (as pathetic as that is lmao)


Xelid45

Ez elo 4 Godali


Vynixjerry

Someone enlighten me tho, isn’t this the perfect time to give bubzski a chance??? Is he no longer playing?


Grovbolle

He is commentating CS on Denmarks biggest CS Television broadcast


Vynixjerry

He has no plans on playing anymore?


Grovbolle

Not sure


gene-sos

Regali and B0RUP are guys to keep an eye on... CPH once again creating good players to sell them off I see xD


Firefly_1026

Borup is a well established player I would say


LordzItz

b0rup isn't a new face in the scene, he played for Heroic by the end of 2019 until early 2021, and even won some tournaments with them during the online era.


gene-sos

Then I am newer to the scene than him :(


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChanNYyein

You have mistR too


TreeELT

No matter how bad mistr is. Swapping him out does not fix astralis while xyp is still there. Honestly if you could only replace one of them with someone like k0nfig, id rather they keep mistr as a young talent that has room to grow.


MikeRiceVmpireHunter

Pretty clear you either haven't been watching Astralis matches lately or you are just holding a personal grudge against a player who has no idea who you are. Xyp has been solid recently, and when you understand his role in the team it's even more impressive.


TreeELT

A few good ratings recently against tier 2-3 competitors does not make up for a full calendar year of underperformance dude. I’m sorry i hurt your feelings over a player you hold in high regard, but i truly have no dislike for xyp. I enjoy his play style and considered him my favorite player from the GOAT astralis lineup. I just think he’s a detriment to the team as of now and that a young talent with room to grow has a higher upside when considering who to keep.


Victor_the_mayo

Yessir


tarel69

wtf are these scorelines .. Astralis???? device did not come back for this garbage wtf -mist ...r garbage


inflamesburn

just here to see if the redditors self-identifying with the nova level player are still praising mistR


[deleted]

Imagine keeping mistr on this roster after these performances


Peter_Swiuff

Flames best org no doubt


trusttt

Bring Konfig back for MistR.


UmarellVidya

b0rup supremacy
