I agree. Like they have some good BO1 results, but in a BO3 I can't see them even beating a half decent team.

2017-04-20 17:57

Like people said StarLadder was G2's event, lul

They did step up at StarLadder though. I feel like they're starting to find their feet now.

2017-04-20 17:58

quarter-finals* but they proved that they can win an event like Cologne.

2017-04-20 18:16

By reaching quarters you prove you can win an event like Cologne? Lul, no. Maybe if they actually won something they would prove they can win big events.

2017-04-20 19:49

It's not like they lost to a t2 team or smth, it was FaZe They're showing big improvement, you can expect them to win Cologne tbh

2017-04-20 22:11

And the same people said the same about StarLadders. Now they won't win this, and we can expect them to win the next tournament. On and on and on.

2017-04-20 22:28

I never said they would win StarLadder, I actually believed they MIGHT survive GS with a 3-2 record. Cologne is in 2,5 months, they have time and room to improve, and they can check what went wrong against FaZe, and try a few things on smaller tourneys, like DH

2017-04-20 22:42

Nobody fucking said that LUL

2017-04-21 01:21

2017-04-20 17:05

2017-04-20 17:45

PGL Krakow will be the Major in July. ESL One Cologne is a week before PGL, and Astralis wanted to focus on the Major

2017-04-20 17:48

Ohh okey, thanks :)

2017-04-20 18:41

2017-04-20 16:51

It would be a really good event if Astralis could be able to play :( Edit: North next plz

2017-04-20 16:53

I wouldn't be surprised if North took the same decision as Astralis.
