Community reacts: Astralis miss out on PGL Major Copenhagen

23-2-2024 21:59

The CS community has been very vocal about Astralis after their heartbreaking RMR run.

Astralis' use of Staehr in their loser interview drew ire

After a 2-3 record at PGL Major Copenhagen Europe RMR B denied them a straightforward route to qualification for the Major in their home country, Astralis were given a final opportunity in the six-team gauntlet last chance qualifier. Here, the Danes were unable to notch even a single map win, as Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin's 9 Pandas came out victorious in 2-0 fashion.

Astralis' dismal RMR run ended by 9 Pandas

Astralis' RMR struggles are the clearest example of the team's poor run of form since the blockbuster signing of former HEROIC duo Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard and Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund. Earlier this month, the team had also endured a last-place finish at the IEM Katowice Play-In.

With the 'Danish superteam' missing out on one of the most important events in the organization's history, their poor showing quickly generated a range of responses within the Counter-Strike community. Many of the immediate reactions to Astralis' loss were sympathetic to the players, considering the crushing impact of missing out on the first Major hosted in Denmark.

While many recognized that this moment was incredibly difficult for the players, it still did not make the team immune to criticism. One of the most immediate complaints was the employment of young Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr in the team's exit interview as opposed to one of the more veteran players on the squad.

Further complaints also arose regarding a perceived lack of leadership on the team, with Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer's in-game leading and the lack of a head coach called into question.

Astralis set to install ruggah as new head coach

Astralis announced in January that Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due will take charge of the team "no later than April", when his contract with OG expires. It is unclear at this point if the Danish coach will start working with Astralis' team immediately or if he will still coach OG in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, scheduled for March 6-10.

sAD FOR Devve, thats it.

Ofc he will take only winning interviews to keep it “positive” if you know what I mean..

2024-02-24 17:48

Honestly, forgot about him. Him as well poor leadership to make him the scapegoat.

2024-02-23 23:20

+1, Device and Staehr need a new team. The fact that they almost got rid of Staehr too is crazy, imagine the team without someone performing like he has been since the roster change.

2024-02-24 00:54

Dont you see whats coming ? Watch astralis put the fault on staehr and bench him to protect the 4 others dudes. It would be an astralis move for sure. They might wait for ruggah though before changing anything

2024-02-24 03:21

Nice flair.

2024-02-24 05:58

I almost always agree with him, but sorry stabbi and snakestralis with their scummy transfer practics towards other danish teams 100% deserve every single troll and hate they get. Everything which is within boundaries of laughing memes they failed is ok. But ofc I despise some stupid fans who take it on personal level and send death threats to players etc.

The only thing that makes mes sad is how device gets disrespected. He is an absolute legend and deserves nothing but respect. I hope he can come back stronger than ever!

I see almost zero hate towards device. In fact I see almost no big reactions towards device be it possitive or negative. 70% of community is laughing over stabbi 30% of community is laughing over baitF and calling for his removal 100% of community is feeling bad for Staehr

2024-02-23 23:11

I see your point, but what I mean is that Astralis as a team gets hate. Which means device is also put under scrutiny. Obviously not as much as some of the other players.

2024-02-24 00:01

I mean he is part of Astralis and if the team gets the hate he will get something as well. You can't exclude him out of it completely. Also device himself decided to join shady astralis who were getting hate even at the time so he should be ready for this, not to mention device played really bad today missing many easy shots, so some kind of criticism is not absolutely wrong for this particular event.

2024-02-24 00:12

My point is just that I hate seeing device in this position. At this point of his career he should be lifting trophies again. Not crashing out of RMR. He deserves so much more.

2024-02-24 00:15

He already won everything 2 major MVPs, 4 majors, grand slam, number of other trophies....... I don't really think he DESERVES more, he is already one of the most if not the most decorated player in history and he was very fortunate to be in the right team at the right times around right players, because let's be honest. it's not enough to just be good player to win so much, since there are clearly better and more talented players than him who have fraction of device's accolades. Is it sad that he has to go thru bombing out of RMR twice in row? Yes Does it mean he deserves more? I dont think so....

2024-02-24 00:24

This. Devve paid the price by joining/staying in asstralis. Doesn't matter who is your igl if you wiff shots. And he should have been the second in line (after blamef) to do exit interview.

on a side note i feel like device is generally pretty arrogant tho

2024-02-24 01:00

Ok. never forget he said nip was 5 steps ahead of astralis

ok still what do you mean by this? that devve will go to nip? and wdym adlib

2024-02-24 01:05

devve said that in a media vid when he joined nip for people who knew his comment was perfectly understandable

2024-02-24 10:19

but why is he telling me this

2024-02-24 13:48

Yep, I too feel like it. Dude suddenly staryed waving at opponents over whom they won. Doesn't feel like te humble man We knew.

2024-02-24 05:56

not what im talking about

2024-02-24 13:53

He's 100% right tho

2024-02-23 22:34

Petition to Save Staehr :( and bench blameF PLEASE

2024-02-23 22:02

Yeah gotta agree at this point BlameF is the problem. They have all the right pieces to be a good team yet they suck, so it points to the igl

2024-02-23 23:28

You can bench blameF or jabbi to get an IGL. BlameF should be lurking with his style of play. Too many baiters in that team

2024-02-24 03:26

Unfortunately wont happen with the clown management in charge, and i also dont see who the igl would be since all good danish igls are taken and you probably wont get glaive back

2024-02-24 03:33

Isnt the crowd only for playoffs anyway?

Idk in Rio it was in second stage too .

2024-02-23 22:35

There was crowd for all 3 stages iirc.

2024-02-23 22:46

It’s just that no one remembers the other stages from rio because the crowd was kinda dead Edit: at least for the first stage

2024-02-23 23:46

crowd dead on challenger stage? tell me you didn't watch the games without telling me you didn't watch the games, it was on a smaller venue, so obviously not as loud as the main arena, but still far from dead, it was the only one with FalleN's Imperial

2024-02-23 23:50

+1 challenger stage was really loud since it had 00NATION and Imperial there, this dude above you has no clue what he is talking about

2024-02-23 23:57

Alright, I might have made a mistake, but I was watching the games and I’m pretty sure there were a few with a dead crowd. I think it was a game with mouz or something Didn’t mean to offend you - sorry

2024-02-24 09:53

not offended that's probably the quarters I think it was mouz vs outsiders on a Thursday afternoon, it was somewhat empty indeed

2024-02-24 10:24

Yeah exactly that’s what I meant That was a weird match to watch Gave the feeling of an old lan from 2014 or so haha

2024-02-24 10:38

correct, but I doubt that'll ever happen again.

2024-02-23 23:48

The community reacts? The community is going absolute ballistic about this lmao Astralis sort your shit out seriously this is not going to work you guys need a new IGL for a start the community dislike stabbi and only like staher and device so that leaves 2 Device is not happy I can tell I can see it in his face something is up here

2024-02-23 22:05

yes, keep device and staher. rest are not necessarily bad, but they just don't fit this team.

2024-02-24 09:09

lmao what? 99% of hltv threads and tweets are just happy that stabbi didn't make it

Grown people don’t care about the spineless sheep that Astralis haters are, so I understand why they’re not included here. It’s really the neutral opinions that matter

2024-02-24 09:25

"neutral opinions" lmao. You are clueless.

2024-02-24 14:44

I’d ask you to elaborate on this one, but unfortunately, your opinion doesn’t matter :(

2024-02-24 16:43

Never seen so much irony in one post.

2024-02-24 21:15

I don’t think you know what irony is

2024-02-24 23:38

lol

2024-02-23 22:06

kick baitF

blamef is the main reason this team was relevant until now

2024-02-24 04:59

Fingers crossed Astralis recover and only be better, not having 4 top 20 players at the major is not fun and makes the event less exciting. Danish audience didnt deserve it.

2024-02-23 22:07

2024-02-23 22:37

After all their blunders I'd rather them completely disband and give control back to the players.

2024-02-23 22:51

Astralis' only blunder was not signing proper coach before major. Instead they have some kid behind their backs who, i am absolutely sure, is not being respected by players and rightfully so. He is a nobody.

2024-02-23 23:26

i'd say if that's the case - the players are to blame for their lack of professionalism. But that's just speculation. And speaking of that. We know for a fact dev1ce isn't having fun in cs atm. How much you willing to bed he wanted nothing to do with stab duo and/or blameF, and/or anyone else for that matter and wanted to be alongside gla1ve (hypothetically), and only chose to return so he won't completely disappear from the scene? Basically, my point is - Astralis in recent years is a sum of poor decisions made for different reasons so perhaps it's time for a major overhaul?

2024-02-23 23:53

Sounds exactly like the history of NiP. 2 once great orgs sinking to the bottom of the barrel. NiP has been in the sewer for longer than Astralis and have only the past 6 months started to try and get their shit together, looks like it's time for Astralis to do the same.

2024-02-24 00:18

I can swear i read an article/quote where dev1ce was praising BlameF calling and called gla1ve outdated or something like that, people on hltv were mkaing threads discussing this, but i cant find. Mandella effect? Astralis make overhauls every year by changing at least two players and trying different coaches. And after spending 2m on stavn and jabbi and some amount on ruggah i dont see them changing roster for at least a year.

2024-02-24 09:57

"I can swear i read an article/quote where dev1ce was praising BlameF calling and called gla1ve outdated or something like that" I also remember him praising NIP's boot camp and crapping on Astralis' but that didn't turned out the way we thought. I honestly don't think dev1ce actually speaks what he thinks when he is on public

2024-02-24 15:08

Im happy stabbi didnt make it. they dont fucking deserve shit ever after the way they threated Heroic and CadiaN. Fuck them and fuck everyone who is willing to play with them.

cheater org and cheater stavn, did you really expect anything respectable from these donkeys?

2024-02-23 22:19

wtf did the Heroic org do? It's the players + coach that cheated. The org in all likely hood had no knowledge of the cheating scandal.

And now Astralis have attempted to have almost all of the cheaters on their roster lol.

2024-02-23 23:47

I did not follow what happened back then, what happened? And was it covered in hltv in detail or is it some rumors from different sources?

2024-02-23 23:39

in short, jabbi and stavn made ultimatum to heroic org that either they leave or heroic kick cadian, heroic chose to kick cadian and then jabbi and stavn left anyway to play for astralis after cadian was kicked/benched, screwing over both heroic org and cadian. even before this, heroic coach hunden was found out leaking their starts to astralis org, after which hunden got banned for cheating (spectator bug) and astralis signed him.

2024-02-24 00:28

+KDlameF

2024-02-23 22:10

For some reason I always believe in astralis and they always fuck it up

2024-02-23 22:11

we are all heartbroken and it's not an easy fix - they started so well with wins against Vitality etc but it all went downhill. They are probably the team that had the least time to practice but that is not an excuse I suppose. In the meantime, VAMOS GLA1VE <3

Sad day for danish counter strike

2024-02-23 22:15

Harry nailed it. blameF - ADR > everything else

Great day for CS, we are happy! Shoutout for Staehr though who deserves much better and did great in such poor conditions

Damn roasted :D

2024-02-23 22:18

would've qualified if -stavn +buzz

noone cares washed up org, same as nip and fantic

Get rid of blame f. He is the constant in a sea of no results. He has always come across as a selfloving ego player. Never a leader

2024-02-23 22:28

2024-02-23 23:04

stabbi 2 lowest players in rmr b and lcq no cadian to set them up no kills

2024-02-23 22:31

Happy for them not qualifying, I only feel sorry for Staehr.

2024-02-23 22:32

And not Device????? Look at that poor face man :( twitter.com/AstralisCS/status/1761012333..

2024-02-23 22:39

Nope, I dislike him for his lack of professionalism. He's also part of the reason they didn't qualify, dude even publicly announced not having fun playing CS in the middle of RMR. What a great time to lose motivation.

6 replies

Yeah he's not feeling this team m8 with all the shit about stavn and jabbi I think it's got him down tbh he's not happy something is not right with device I mean punching his monitor? Come on that's not Device man he's a cool carm collected man.... Something is irritating him something is wrong here I know it he's not happy

he's a known monitor abuser though, there's prolly a highlight reel with him punching things out there on YT

I mean dude was mentally screwed, took a break, and then returned to a absolute dumpsterfire

2024-02-24 00:31

ngl this shitshow seems like nip 2.0 for device. worked on his mental health for 1 year only to come back and run into the same trap again and worsening his mental again. Like when he came back he absolutely f**ked but that is not currently the case and I doubt he will with this team.

2024-02-24 04:34

Astralis was maybe his only chance to get away from NIP. But he forgot why he left Astralis, because it wasn't working anymore.

2024-02-24 05:59

Meh. People just love to cling on to some sort of past sentimentals. Astralis hasn't been good in years. The old Astralis is long gone. They played horribly so they didn't qualify. Accept it.

You are missing the whole point blud.

Agreed

2024-02-23 22:36

"IGLing is 80% out of the server" - Snappi Well said.

No devve , no Magisk at home :/

Kinda makes me laugh ngl

2024-02-23 22:47

seems a bit over dramatized a wee bit who cars Astralis has been mid mid mid for a very long time no one to blamef but themselves.

2024-02-23 22:48

Nice one

2024-02-24 01:55

Sad :(

2024-02-23 22:56

BlameF needs to go, he'll be a decent rifler somewhere else but leading isn't his thing. But I really don't have any idea about who they could get, there isn't anyone available and IGL isn't the best position to try some new talent.

2024-02-23 22:59

I see lots of people are unhappy about Staehr doing the interview. Why is it so important to everyone all of the sudden? As if that makes some kind of a difference on a grand scheme. If baitF or dev1ce did it, as some "talent" suggested, none of them would say that "it's a right call for that player to do it, great choice" after. I feel like emphasis on that is like something right in between the empty talk and those 2 hour long videos on YT describing the 5 second shot of some movie with no end goal. Like those people tweeting for the sake of tweeting with nothing actually substantial to say.

2024-02-23 23:02

Staehr was potentially going to be one of the ones cut just a short while ago when stabbi came in. Now obviously I don't think BlameF nor Device were really the ones making that decision, but one is the IGL and the other is a veteran Astralis player. If a loser interview is required it should have OBVIOUSLY been one of them, and no it wouldn't be celebrated because it is expected. I get your point somewhat, and don't know the necessity or requirements around loser interviews, but regardless if it is required, BlameF should be in front.

no one would say anything because it would be the expected behaviour like when Falcons got eliminated, they didn't send BOROS, Snappi did the loser's interview, for BB it was nafany. that's just a sign of how bad things are in the team, it's one of the most important moments of the team, they invested a lot of money into it and your captain can't do a losers interview? that's the opposite of taking responsibility

2024-02-23 23:55

I mean... I might just have a different mindset but to me, regardless of who does it - he doesn't speak for himself anyway, and does so for the team because one player - is not one player but a part of a team... So basically since the interviewee IS the team anyways, it doesn't matter if it's the captain of not... Maybe i'm blurring the lines between the leader and a boss here, or smth but idk... Thanks to you and #88 but to me, this whole situation is still a bit of an overreaction

It's a bit weird that is all

Imagine if Vitality was out and it was mezii or flamez doing the interview.. It would be weird as f*ck...

2024-02-24 01:03

It's mentioned in the tweets. Responsibility. If you are a man you don't send a "newb" to the loser interview who has nothing to say in the team. If I want to interview the Goalkeeper then they shouldn't send the third goalkeeper who never plays.

2024-02-24 05:53

your goalkeeper comparison is more along the lines of "the team lost, so the benched player does the interview". Staehr is a part of a main roster, part of the team.

2024-02-24 15:11

And he is simultaneously the third goalkeeper with zero responsibility for the team the org and any not reached goals. This responsibility has the IGL + coach and the star player alone. It is not hard to understand that this comparison fits very well.

2024-02-24 15:33

Astralis would qualify for the major if they didn't sign jabbi and stavn, 100% sure

2024-02-23 23:56

pitaGOAT that's why everyone call blameF "baitF", for him K/D >>>> Team.

2024-02-24 00:14

Not sure if you've seen this, but it's what I think of when anyone tries to argue that 'baitF' is just a meme; youtu.be/hO5jsCTytSc?si=Hm-rwKXqiuLkrsMq

2024-02-24 15:10

get stabbid!

they played awful and lost, why all the drama? cuz of famous tag?

2024-02-24 00:22

This marks the 3rd major in a row they don't qualify to. They are, historically, the premier Danish CS esports org, and not having them in the Danish major is a hit to the fans that may have expected them there (like how if NiP and Fnatic missed a Swedish major when they were still Swedish teams, for instance). The reaction also has to do with the deal that went for stavn-jabbi, which was 2mill. This can be seen by many as Astralis showcasing terrible management, and even karma, as that move compromised Heroic's stability as an org given the sequence of events. Lastly, this is further fuel for the argument that blameF is not a good igl/leader. This has been mentioned since his coL days, and we saw a ton of talent play under and alongside him that ended up getting "screwed," like how gla1ve left competition for a while, how xyp9x ended up in academy after blamef took most of his roles, how astralis went through altekz, buzz, farlig, mistr, as well as plenty of coaches (some of which were known 1.6 players) just to actively fail over and over again. Ofc if you are personally not that interested in the business side of things, or just the cultural impact of astralis in esports, this will be seen as overblown, but it is totally justifiable IMO, in the same way EG, NiP, got criticism for their awful moves

2024-02-24 00:45

I understand what you mean but there is nothing left from the legendary astralis except a tag the same with nip. blamef is completely incompetent in the role of igl and selfish player overall in a bad way

2024-02-24 01:07

Could make the argument that dev1ce is still there, but I get what you mean now. Yeah, it mostly comes down to the symbolism of Astralis tag, rather than the roster they field. Audience in general kind of places a lot of importance on orgs when it comes to the Major (similar to other sports where the team organizations will get criticized based on previous accomplishment, even with entirely different staff)

2024-02-24 01:19

And it is a managment problem that they dont see it in 2 years, while community remind them everyday.

2024-02-24 05:57

I personally don’t agree w the hate on having Staehr do the interview. Last time I checked there is 5 guys on the team that share the loss of not making it to the major. Just bc yall would’ve liked to see Device on screen doesn’t mean the decision was bad to send Staehr out there

2024-02-24 00:23

Guuy was carryng whole match and still have to do a interview about the loss imagine how much weight he had to lift

2024-02-24 01:53

Staehr's time will come tomorrow, he can be given camera in better instances, be it less important losses or winning interviews, but right now, the symbolic DEATH of Danish Counter-Strike when it was most hyped is NOT when you should be bringin staehr out, look man, device IS danish counter-strike , this is a horrible bullet for danish cs fans , of course it should be device's chest taking that bullet. This is not okay, if U.S got bombed you wouldnt be interested in Emmanuel Macron's interview, you'd want to hear the president of U.S. I love Staehr, he's awesome and he was finally performing like a real Tier 1 player, but read the room dude.

2024-02-24 02:13

It’s not about not reading the room. Everyone is diminishing Staehrs role in the team. I understand he’s not the legend that is device. But who does the interview 1) isn’t there fault and 2) is gonna have just about the same to say as the other guys. They’re all still in shock and sad about not making it. Device could’ve maybe given 2-3 more sentences than Staehr did. Device tweeted after losing giving his response to not making it and it was not long. He doesn’t have to be on screen to “take the bullet”. Everyone is gonna hate on him no matter what. I don’t believe Astralis sent Staehr out to do the interview for any other reason than they grabbed one of the 5 teammates that are sharing the burden of the loss and said go do an interview.

2024-02-24 02:19

Im not diminishing Staehrs role in the team, he is just the 5th player, Staehr himself knows this and he would probably admit as much, yes, Device has to be on screen, you're thinking things wrong, its not about scientific and rational debate, it's about optics, no player from any team will give you a truly insightful and reasonable interview after losing the Last Chance Qualifier for good, of course, but if you truly can't fathom why it is an *exceptional* loss for Astralis to miss out in the first Danish major ever, you are just not going to get it, YES Device has to be on screen to take the bullet along with all the hate that comes with the failure, Device very much didn't mind all the screentime when he was winning all those major mvp's and being compared with s1mple and being labeled as better than zywoo, and he chose to come back to Astralis at his own volition, he knew very well what he was getting himself into, and im sure he had some say over the 2M stabbi move, at this point in time, Device is Denmark in counter-strike whether you like it or not, so when everything goes wrong, he should be the big man stepping up and taking the blows, Device may retire in a year or two man, staehr has like 10 years ahead of him, right now Device needs to be THE GUY, come on man...

2024-02-24 02:26

Side note, your message is all one sentence lol. Epic.

2024-02-24 22:32

Navi would never send b1t to the loser interview in the legendary lineup of such an important event. And Staehr is here the b1t. The absolute freshman on tier 1. A good team wouldn't burden him with that.

2024-02-24 05:55

:( so sad

How I feel after the last 9 months of Astralis... blameF even baiting IRL for the loser interview after their last match in the RMR. youtu.be/yfE9kQqwMkQ?si=cosh0DY7-lqUbI02 Absolutely NO leadership AT ALL shown by blameF... what a clown he is! I used to be a big Astralis fan, but now, I just feel bad for dev1ce and Staehr, who both deserves WAYYYYY better than what the management have given them! Letting gla1ve go WAS the biggest mistake they ever made... apart from karrigan at a lower level, no other danish IGL is as respected or has achieved as much as gla1ve did! Astralis management are now the biggest joke of them all... letting zonic go and then using dirty tactics to screw up as many other players and teams as possible... Heroic (HUNDEN, stabbi, etc.), Sprout (Staehr), Buzz, Bubzkji, farlig, Lucky, Altekz, gla1ve... They did everyone dirty... Snake org using snake tactics and getting snake players... for once I'm happy there's this thing called KARMA! What a shit show Astralis has become... none of this would have ever happened under zonic's leadership and management.

Now with my head cold i can calmly conclude that this is very sad, but it wasn't really Astralis' fault, let's be honest here, Astralis knew they were going to be the absolute posterchild of the Coppenhaguen Major since July of 2023, and they went out of their way to actually make a Danish superteam to try to win the major, they spent 2 million dollars on stabbi and only kept staehr because device had been hyping him up for like a year before he joined, so they gotta go all in with that, they said they believed in blameF as igl...so they had to go all in with that, and all things considered, this is still the most stacked team possible in denmark in terms of pure firepower, but the game just doesn't work like that, blameF looks very cool, he's a big buffed dude and he frags while igling, but sadly, he is not a real leader, not in the game nor outside of the game, i have never seen a team more self-doubting on T Side than this very Astralis, at what point do we pull the plug on the whole blameF igl? This is sad, i wanted to see Astralis in Coppenhaguen, their failure is top tier ammo for the international roster propaganda which has ruined professional counter-strike.

I've posted this type of comment before but basically, you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas. Denied vacations.. players growing up and having kids. Glaive grinding with altered rosters, coach loss. The dog here is hunden. That's when Astralis lost my respect. The management there is idiotic. Sitting on gold, come back with turd covered brass at best. Im glad glaive got a bunch of hungry players, he isn't washed. Astralis just somehow destroyed their entire legacy by employing a cheater and making bad decisions on roster after that. Feel sorry for the Danes tbh. Especially after such a powerful era, management screwed it all. Ah well, welcome to the real world I guess.

Lol rip that cologne lineup was better than this stabbi duo like imagine getting baited so hard by their performance in heroic that you wasted a lot of money and tried to ruin heroic for it.

Danish “talent” exposed. No invites, no Danish teams.

2024-02-24 03:50

BaitF destroys danish scene all alone

2024-02-24 05:19

staehr and device deserve better than this team.

100% BaitF most overrated player I ever met

2024-02-24 08:25

goodbye astralis

2024-02-24 06:31

2024-02-24 06:40

Losers no needed in major

2024-02-24 06:57

2024-02-24 09:40

Hahaha good one

2024-02-24 13:15

community = pros, casters, and journalists?

2024-02-24 09:23

Can't you give them one last last last chance?

2024-02-24 09:24

Or 40% loss, or free invite :D

2024-02-24 09:39

rather the free invitation, just to be sure :D

2024-02-24 10:04

Astralis moving to NA in the next major cycle to finally qualify for a major

2024-02-24 10:26

Or maybe Asia, it's safer for them

2024-02-24 12:22

not enough spots

2024-02-24 18:40

kick botf

Well, they sent staehr to the interview and he'll probably be the sacrificial lamb which gets benched first, also. You know what they say, success is where you make the biggest mistakes and Astralis' management is on a huge L-streak ever since their impressive run back in the days. It's even hard to sum it all up at this point because there's been so much blunders they committed.

2024-02-24 10:18

Sad but deserved I guess

2024-02-24 10:42

karma 18/05/2021 never forget

2024-02-24 13:16

what do you expect from bringing a begginer coach who doesnt say anything ? maybe ruggah is gonna bringe astralis back with fire and competivity again

2024-02-24 12:16

I am not sad for Astralis. For Staehr maybe. It seems like the others (players, org) need a bit of humility.

2024-02-24 12:26

Yep, thats terrible of Astralis to not have the ballzorz to have some other person do the interview. One or two or three other staff members or old Players like device had to come out and do it with banks, so ya, happy gla1ve is the only one to make it through for that reason.

2024-02-24 13:28

Are there people who are genuinely surprised by their failure? I mean I do understand the reactions because they tore Danish CS apart to make this team, but the team is not good and hasn't threatened to be.

I hate the org love the OLD players astralis means nothing

2024-02-24 16:50

damn thats sad :(

2024-02-24 18:41

My condolences

I thought the interviewers called one player from the team and was wondering why did the interviewers called Staehr and not Blamef or Dev1ce. That's myyyy baaadddddddd. I had no damn idea it's the team that sends a player. How shit of an igl can Blamef be that he sends Staehr after losing the match ???? As an igl go ahead and have the guts to face the community because u lead the team. and if u think it's not Ur calling that's the problem then speak out who or what the problem is man....... How childish and pathetic could u be to be evading that man..... SAME GOES FOR DEV1CE.... AS A SENIOR PLAYER YOU SHOULD HAVE STEPPED UP AND STOPPED STAEHR AND COME FOR THE INTERVIEW YOURSELF IF BLAMEF WAS UNWILLING TO DO SO. Really disappointed from the both the players and the staffs of the organisation itself who were there that day..

2024-02-25 11:45

Though i highly respect both the players as they are really an excellent pair of players individually inside the server as they have proved it multiple times in the past. I don't doubt their abilities as a player in the game (but I don't support Blamef as an igl, he is good at and should remain a player only). But the way they took the loss, not taking responsibilities wasn't a good thing as a sportsperson outside the server.

2024-02-25 11:50

hltv.org/matches/2369946/ence-vs-astrali.. In short they shouldn't have signed Jabbi but sought a proper igl but they didn't do it. So, now i wonder how will they move forward. They must not kick Blame or Dev1ce or Stavn as all of them are really really good players. Staehr definitely proved his worth & point int the RMR. You can't bench Jabbi after trying for just a few months and not giving him enough time after u signed him. I wonder how will they fill that igl position or will they continue as they are now but with ruggah hope to make Astralis great again. Or will they make the hard choice, bench one player and sign a proper igl from some team. If they do bench, who will it be ?? Jabbi probably but even that's not fair it seems.
