Astralis breeze past Virtus.pro at BLAST Pro Series Istanbul

28-9-2018 18:49

Astralis are off to a flying start at BLAST Pro Series Istanbul after defeating Virtus.pro in a one-sided Inferno match.

The opening match on the main stream started with the FACEIT Major champions taking the pistol round in convincing fashion and following that up with the anti-ecos for a 3-0 lead. Virtus.pro responded in the first gun round, but the Danes hit back immediately on the back of a triple-kill by Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander as he pushed banana.

After getting their economy back on track, Virtus.pro desperately tried to find a way back into the game, but without success. They kept losing every aim duel and just could not find any openers, with the scoreline blooming to a 13-1 advantage for the Danes before the Polish side finally got on the scoreboard again, following a quad kill by Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki.

Astralis made light work of Virtus.pro

Astralis piled more misery on Virtus.pro's players by overturning a 2v4 situation in the pistol round, setting themselves up for a 15-2 lead. With no room for error, Virtus.pro were able to get a round on the board courtesy of a trio of shotgun kills by Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski, but it merely delayed the inevitable as Astralis secured the following round to seal an easy victory.

Please stop inviting tier 8 teams to events!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more c9 and vp. They let teams that have a chance compete. The big orgs are taking over and it shows. Their trash teams get invited.

GOoD EnGlIsH. Astralis work every single day 8+ hours a day, training and watching demos, developing tactics and strats. They dont cheat, but expected from Colombian kid, you are like Russians. Just as retarded, and born a mongol.

2018-09-28 18:56

good english? Come on that was in hurry, but even with all your arguments, i am not convinced that they are not hacking. developing tactics in csgo is overrated. every smoke, every cheeky positions are very known. it just about who has a lucky timing and hitting those shoots. sorry, but astralis robotic playstyle is unnatural for humans. they somehow never do mistakes in their decisions, in their aiming, in their timing and they seem to be 3 steps ahead of any opponent they have in all regards respectively..

2018-09-28 19:05

It is game sense you dumbass. The reason why Xyp followed him through the smoke is because he sprayed on a line through the smoke to try to do tip damage and trying to get a lucky headshot. And the guy jumping was unlucky to run the same speed and time Xyp sprayed. Not fishy at all... You just need to analyze the fucking play.. If you do your "Homework" you can figure out how different teams play and the positions they often stand in and move around at different time zones of a match. Astralis is one of the only teams who actually put in some propper work to analyze every single bit of analyzing. I was Semi-Pro and now an Analyst, and i know how everything they do work, and why they do it. Stop being a dumb kid and grow up, dont post shit you dont know anything about, cause you clearly doesnt know shit about CSGO as a game in the pro scene, maybe because you are Silver.

Sounds like you are angry because you are 40 and live in your parents basement still.

Why VP is even at this tournament...

Valve please ban Astralis cheaters

hahahahaha do you really think that the cancers of valve would do that. they don't care about this game and imagine them banning a 2 Major champions hahaha that would destroy their repetory

The post you replied to was sarcasm and if you really believe anyone on the astralis team is cheating you're a plain imbecile.

2018-09-28 21:22

Not in a position to watch the matches, but this match must have been sooo boring to watch. On the other hand, it could also be a quick guide text book on the topic “How to play proper CS:GO - and win”
