Heroic upset Astralis at Power-LAN

27-8-2016 19:39

Heroic have caused an upset at the expense of Astralis in the Power-LAN semi-final with a 2-1 victory (Dust2 4-16, Cobblestone 16-13, Overpass 16-13).

Power-LAN semi-finals saw the HEROIC taking on favourites Astralis in a best-of-three afair after the former placed second to Dignitas in their group, while the latter secured first place with two confident victories.

Heroic upset Astralis on their way to the grand final

The first map, Dust2, was barely a contest, as Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's team picked up a 16-4 victory after a dominant 13-2 CT side. Trouble came on Cobblestone, famously one of Astralis' worst maps, where HEROIC posted a solid nine-round defence and finished it off at 16-13 on the offence.

The series was decided on Overpass, historically one of, if not the, best maps of Denmark's number one team. While none of Astralis' players finished significantly above 1.00 rating, Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander, Andreas "⁠MODDII⁠" Fridh and Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså put in most of the work as they completed the upset at 16-13.

On the other side of the bracket Dignitas barely scraped through their semi-final against Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez's team Rogue despite a 16-2 start on Mirage, but secured the other place in the grand final after all.

The grand final between Dignitas and HEROIC, where the two will be fighting for the $14,750 first-place prize, will kick off in just a few moments.

MODDII toying with astralis

not really an upset if astralis is shit and heroic has been on the rise

CHOKETRALIS

rip

Expected lets get serious,Astralis=shit since they created their own team,and since X resigned from SK they became great team(with Glave and Vlade),we'll see what can they do as HR.

Astralis were actually strong at Columbus

Astralis on LAN EleGiggle

EleGiggle Cajun EleGiggle was EleGiggle the EleGiggle problem EleGiggle

CajunB was the problem

hail king MODDII & team X! <3

When im 43 and i dont ker

The new Canadian TSM team of NA rejects is arguably better than this old Danish "dream-team" TSM EU CS 4Head

its funny as fuck to see that lineup that everyone shit on be better than astralis

2016-08-27 19:58

Have you been making shit on them and where? :) I prefer to use the toilet.

2016-08-28 14:21

Astralis semis choke always.

Expected... after the recent astralis matches. Not really an upset. Ez 4 heroic

CAJUNB WAS THE PROBLEM

2016-08-27 19:48

-Kjaerbye +aizy/k0nfig/cajunb

this pretty much. astralis NEED karrigan and device. preferably +aizy or +cajun because they have prior experience with eachother and k0nfig is inconsistent asf

2016-08-27 19:52

upset??? i arent think that xD

2016-08-27 19:50

not an upset, astralis just isn't as good anymore.. and haven't been for a while.

2016-08-27 19:51

upset??? astralis is shit lul

upset or choke? This definitely was not an upset, considering the recent results!

ASStralis

2016-08-27 19:56

what??

2016-08-27 19:57

heroic didnt upset astralis, more like astralis once again proven that they have troubles in semis even against teams who are weaker than them

Or just 3 weeks of vacation with zero cs, while heroic have been playing alot in that period.

2016-08-28 14:24

vacation is one of thousand excuses which might come from astralis

2016-08-28 14:23

It's not really an excuse and they haven't used it as an excuse, but that's the biggest reason, heroic have been playing alot and been great lately, astralis have not been playing at all, you do the math :)

2016-08-28 14:26

i am more believing in some friendly alliance between 2 danish teams, because gla1ve has been standin in majors for astralis.

2016-08-28 14:27

Throwing for skins! Oh wait...

More like throwing for legit money. They have a oddset booth (danish national sports betting thing) like 15 meters from the stage

2016-08-27 20:12

Dev1ce overrated

2016-08-27 20:10

This is not an upset hahaha

GOD MODDI has been playing really good over the last few weeks, i really like this heroic team

LOL DENMARK SO BAD THEIR T1 GETS BEATEN BY T2

2016-08-27 20:13

"While none of Astralis' players finished significantly above 1.00 rating..." I think you meant Heroic.

2016-08-27 20:15

haha yeah +1

2016-08-27 21:14

Scoreboard conclusion proves how unfortunate Astralis were against Heroic, from the other hand, Heroic should not be this type of a team with whom you are putting big fight down. If changes will occur in Astralis, I think it will be karrigan, he has his masters in economics and finance, further he goes with his childhood hobby, harder it will be to start with his professional career.

2016-08-27 20:20

Well at the moment I have way more concerns about the impact of dupreeh and Kjaerbye... :(

2016-08-27 21:18

I remember these times when tsm(astralis), envy, fnatic and mostly vp where on top... Now astralis lost danish lan final, envy is losing everything and fnatic is like 1/5 of the old squad. Only vp have their top spot, but still, after a 5-6 months of being shit.

2016-08-27 20:27

how's this an upset? they've been better for months

2016-08-27 20:28

not an upset

2016-08-27 20:36

lol hltv astralis fangay confirmed... it wasn't even close to an upset astralis just a dead overrated shit team

2016-08-27 20:51

Not an upset,astralis has been dogshit for ages,and X have looked good !

+1 i agree with you

2016-08-27 21:13

Astralis please go back to dignitas :( You were far better back then :(

2016-08-27 21:02

You mean tsm

they were shit as tsm lmao

2016-08-27 21:45

Are you retarded? They won nothing as dignitas but won 5 tournaments as TSM. Lel!

2016-08-27 23:03
