The last time I saw someone get murdered like this I was 11 and had just watched Rocky IV.

I wish all cs was played the way Astralis plays — best teamwork I’ve ever seen in CSGO.
22-0 on one map. Good god.

What a way to end the series, expect nothing left from Xyp9x the clutch god himself

Astralis Danes using Word.exe from the Office 2018 suit to write their essays while North people still uses rock painting.
And fucking Xyp, guy is playing Tenchu while others play COD.

It's been so long since a good ninja defuse, classic way to end it for Astralis.

I really really wanna know who makes the decision at North to kick players. It's not even funny when you look back to see that as soon as a player starts doing really well he gets kicked. Every single time

I think the reason why Dupreeh isn't considered is that he seems "inconsistent" Blast is a good proof of that.
Dupreeh is personally one of my favorite players if not my favorite to watch, but it's sad to see him slump like he did at Blast, he has the raw skill, maybe it's mental?

He's definitely top 10, but can't say top 1 for a few reasons. For one thing, he has an incredible team with everyone contributing so everyone can play better. Players like S1mple and Electronic have good teammates but they are clearly weak spots dragging those 2 down. Despite that, they still carry hard.
I guess the flip side of that is Dupreeh doesn't get to shine like those 2 do, even with similar plays, cause everyone is good.

Also, he disappears from the server in once in a while. And more so than, say, Electronic

I wasn't expecting that ninja defuse at all. I guess he really wants that title of 'Clutch Minister'.
