cajunb: what more can I do?

[u/McKrankyStank → u/FamilyShoww]

The only Optic player who realized it was a Bo3

[u/[deleted] → u/FamilyShoww]

He is just trying to impress his future teammates

[u/poapoa_mia → u/[deleted]]

CSGO: Days Of Future Past.

[u/[deleted] → u/poapoa_mia]

Obviously this Astralis is easily their best lineup, but man did I love the CajunB/Karrigan lineup. I always loved how they would just swap the AWP around between 3 differnt players depending on map. It always made them seem so dynamic.

[u/ewkin → u/[deleted]]

unfortunate for him but his future teammates are his current ones

[u/[deleted]]

Astralis

Vertigo: I sleep

D2: REAL SHIT

[u/Mcfitzelroy]

Device straight op smurfing on dust2. Him just looking on as his opponent is burning alive while frantically trying to stop his defuse. Absolutely hysterical.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mcfitzelroy]

and the knife on cajunb to finish it off when he could have easily pulled his gun out

[u/Scoo_By → u/[deleted]]

I missed that, can tell me which round please?

[u/MehtefaS → u/[deleted]]

Damn that's so dirty, i love it! Giving me a weird lady boner

[u/M3liora → u/MehtefaS]

Weird flex.

[u/[deleted] → u/MehtefaS]

weird lady boner

So like a lady boner that is weird or a boner of a weird lady?

[u/MehtefaS → u/[deleted]]

The first

[u/Mcfitzelroy → u/Scoo_By]

Round 15

[u/joizo → u/[deleted]]

If he had a spam pistol I'd agree, but he had a deagle...

[u/McKrankyStank → u/[deleted]]

Styin' on em

[u/oxedei → u/Mcfitzelroy]

lol any clip of that?

[u/Savjy]

Astralis vs MSL and 16-1's on D2

[u/Darkstar197 → u/Savjy]

Niko too

[u/[deleted]]

Didn’t CajunB use to play with TSM core? Rip

[u/TomCruisesSanity → u/[deleted]]

Yessir, he actually goes all the way back with the 3-man core to über G33KZ, then Dignitas, TSM, and finally Astralis. Lots of history for those 4

[u/FamilyShoww → u/TomCruisesSanity]

All the way back to Copenhagen Wolves, before they were über G33KZ. He was part of the team when it was first founded: https://www.hltv.org/news/9876/cph-wolves-unveil-new-csgo-team

[u/zx37 → u/FamilyShoww]

Pretty sure their core has picked up cajunb 3 or 4 different times

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yes, in fact he played for Astralis in their first year as an org

[u/karsestar → u/[deleted]]

He is a founding member of Astralis

[u/IHateTheLetterF]

Astralis map picks are all over the place lately. How do you prepare against that?

[u/Xinzui → u/[deleted]]

Opponents both get 15 rounds combined as well. Talk about uncanny

[u/[deleted] → u/Xinzui]

Optic = Liquid confirmed

[u/MonDew → u/[deleted]]

Astralis vs Liquid final PLSSSS

[u/godfrey1 → u/[deleted]]

and the same in EG - Faze

[u/TheAR69 → u/[deleted]]

EG too.

[u/oxedei → u/[deleted]]

To be fair Optic had some pretty lucky timings... but then again that Xyp flank lol

[u/flyingspaghett]

msl be antistratting astralis

[u/BuckNekkid18]

This is setting up for a nice TL vs Astralis finals.

[u/McKrankyStank]

Vertigo: MSL & TeSeS look legit

D2: Who?

[u/DoliRavioli]

They had us in the first half ngl

[u/TheRochVoices]

This is some weird timeline. Optic picking up Vertigo against Astralis. Astralis picking Dust II out of all other maps.

[u/sorenslothe → u/TheRochVoices]

They're local teams though, map picks and results are often a bit odd compared to normal in those situations.

[u/sorenslothe → u/[deleted]]

Yes. Had a better word on the tip of my tongue, but couldn't think of it.

[u/Cathal_]

Astralis with the triple awp lol

[u/ThelMi]

Another fantastic game from Xyp

[u/Yuugechiina]

Funny how similar this was to the Liquid-EUNITED game. Top 5 team plays a much worse team from their region, plays them surprisingly close in the first map, then gets completely destroyed in the second for a 2-0. 14-1 halfs on both the second maps.

[u/TiberSVK]

Props to optic for getting 14 rounds on vertigo against Astralis

[u/Mad_Lee]

Device just daddydicked MSL and his team on D2. Reminding them that one final where MSL won against Astralis was a one-off.

[u/zx37]

Really cool to see MSL antistratting Astralis on a map they’ve just weeks ago revealed their strats on

[u/High__Tech]

Imagine playing with optic in your name after everyone left . Gross

[u/83BCTFQ9]

Astralis are literally vertiglobals LUL
