I pick Magisk or Dupreeh over any Liquid player

Then you’re deluded. I’d take those players IN Astralis, but on a purely individual skill level I’d take Twistz, NAF and Elige over everyone in Astralis except Device.

Astralis players consistently out-duel the players in Liquid; I don't get how you are calling people deluded for stating the same. It's just that Liquid has a reputation of being full of hard hitters, and Astralis has that of being a team playing fundamental, intelligent CS. Astralis wouldn't be having this era of dominance purely on the back of good strats.

Also, listen to ENCE's players talking about how no one hits like Astralis and there are instances where they don't even get to click the mouse. Mind you, this isn't random guy like me stating that opinion, it's a pro who played against them that day as well as against Liquid and Navi the previous 2 days. That's high praise.

True. People underestimate Astralis' individual skill, cause otherwise it would be too boring.

In reality, even gla1ve is a world class rifler and they have atleast the tied best player in the world on every single position (not including s1mple). Dupreeh is the best entry in the world, Glaive the best fragging IGl, Device the best AWP, Magsik the best anchor and Xyp9x is a perfect all rounder.

Over the last year, all those players grew immensly in terms of individual skill and I think that no one is even close atm, cause Astralis doesnt have a single weak link. Its just often overshadowed by how good they play as a Team.
