Karma actually working as intended for once and Vitality serving as the instrument. Chef's Kiss*. I like Cadian but despise Astralis as an org. Just shady.
The drama caused it. The Astralis management are just a bunch of cash-grabbing buffoons with no understanding of how to run a successful esport team. They got lucky to have their org started on the backs of what became the best team in CSGO history, and ever since it has just been a continuous stream of failures. Obviously, their players are going to be negatively affected by all that drama and everybody hating on them.
Hahaha I remember something similar happing many years ago where a player was "sick." So they silently protested by playing 8 hours of ESEA while his team was playing.
There was an hltv article earlier today, the captains that boycotted all made a WhatsApp group to discuss their action. According to hltv reporting, they didn’t add chopper(Spirit’s IGL) until after Spirit’s media day, so it’s likely he didn’t know. They added him after and he signed the letter.
Well kinda, Astralis was founded by TSM core and funded by the same venture startup that founded Blast, however they separated into 2 different companies in 2019 or 2020, they are now different entities(which its accountability is indeed questionable). Ah yeah, the current CEO of Astralis was former Blast's CEO 👀
I play custom map, zombie escape and surf maps sometimes. If cs2 die out, i will always play that game. Counter strike is goated or i just play source instead lmao
@@Diopside. Only in small amount. There's actual companies and websites dedicated to cs skin trading. RUclipsrs, streamers and plenty of playerbase that don't actually play the game and just there for cs skins
Then Astralis got fcking destroyed in the opener against Vitality. Did the org really expect the lineup to immediately work when Cadian hasn’t even practiced with the team?💀
Asttalis is bankable. Either they winning or losing, haters will always be there along the way. Theyre like lebron of cs. Already made history but still ppl wanna see them fall. ❤
Dude really said "I feel bad for Cadian hes been involved in so much controversy he cant seem to get away from it" like maybe theres a reason for that br0...
The Esports side is in the best state it's been in years which is honestly hilarious because the game itself is in the worst state it has been in years Amazing to watch & catch-up on the CS scene, but playing the game itself is pretty meh at best rn
@@malif1279 now that is facts though esport side is always goated, it’s just hilarious when we see glitches from normal match making sometimes go into cs esports play
I started hating astralis as an org when it came out that they had burnout and the org was denying them time off. Astralis became more and more supervillainy after that and I was like "well, I feel completely not okay with my prior support for them". Kinda sucks cos I really liked the idea of "the system" and stuff behind that original Glaive/zonic headed dynasty but man, don't meet your heroes I guess (or their successors).
It's hilarious because Astralis was founded on completely opposite principles. It used to be a player run org where players had a say in the management of the whole org. But as the OG lineup began to win more and more majors, all that started to go away.
Astralis make bad decisions! * Lying about disease * Creating bad team vibes (Cadian) * Getting two backstabbers * Best player as IGL * Serial firing of Bro, Buzz, etc. * Not ensuring consistency * Not tournament grinding, which they should to get skills up
Just wanted to mention that the background music you guys are using is really relaxing. Who's the artist? Edit: Just read the description. Thanks for mentioning who provides the music :D
where they draw the line? correct me if im wrong: at the time when one of space soldiers (most of the roster currently in eternal fire) player had visa issues and it wasnt approved for the event even tho he applied to it so long before the event, when space soldier wanted their 6th player to play instead of him organazation denied and their coach had to fill in. and that event was so important for space soldiers back then. so where do you draw the line? when one of the player says (oh nooo my wife dumped me i cant play) are they allowed to have another player fill that gap? Im sorry but it doesnt matter how unfortunate the thing is, if you dont apply the rule for everybody what is the point of having it in the first place?
If the BYD Sealion hybrid is more of a range extended EV, does this mean Toyota looking into using BYD hybrid tech is shifting more to fully electrically driven cars?
Now this is some Grade A Bullshit. Tournament Organiser and Organisation as big as Astralis absolutely disregarding professional conduct and effectively lying to players and breaking rules openly. Glad to see the lads stand up for eachother and don't let themselves get trampled on. Respect.
Honestly it's not a horrible game, it's just not csgo. Think of it like the super smash bro games they make today. They are all decent games but none of them will give you the freedom melee did.
As a dane, i dont back astralis. But they are right, they cant tell the public about Br0's medical status due to danish law. Its an exploit that isn't fair.
"OVER CADIAN" c'mon guy it's OVER Astralis, they wanting Cadian to shove into the line-up asap! you make it as Cadian kick br0 out and take the spot on his will.
Let's just not pretend like the roster changes of GO wasn't ridiculous to begin with. Was never a point in cheering in an actual team. The soul of the team was always in the roster that constantly changed.
Lol I'm assuming the downfall is referring to his entire career. Like when he was dropped and became an analyst. He returned later and almost lost it all again before joining heroic.
@@HannibalBarcaRTWwhere he was shit talking a 16 year old (youngest in the tournament) after killing him one time while down a map screaming calling them noobs lmao
I dont follow the news on CS2 and all I know is from this channel, so I have no idea if Astralis was in the wrong fr or not BUT if we were to give them the benefit of the doubt, I'd like to point out that sometimes employers won't disclose medical issues about their employees due to privacy reasons, in the US i think its called FMLA, it might be something like that happening here. Unless the player benched straight out comes out and says they broke the rules... then i typed all this for nothing.
You're missing an important part of the story, disappointing from an esports "news" org. The big reason for the controversy from the IGL side was Rain being denied an exemption from the tournament to witness the birth of his child. Unfortunate that this wasn't even mentioned as it's a huge point of the story. Also, pretty lazy reporting on the association between Blast and Australis, i could get better info from a comment on hltv. You guys want to grow the scene? take a look at how news orgs report on sports controversies.
While he's correct about the not being able to comment on a emplyees health, its Funny him mentioning Danish laws.. Im pretty sure Br0 would have a great case to sue for wrongful terminations.. In Denmark you have a legal right to be notified months before being terminated (the amount of time depends on how long you have been employed, and Im writing this asuming the players contracts arent some wizardry not having to follow normal employment rules) .. So if he wasnt.. well, that'd be unlawful
All that drama only to get 13-0'd😂
And then 13-4 KEKW

23-24th he played 10 games in a row xddddddddd and 25th he played 6 games.

Good luck applying for license next year, Blast.

Br0 is now trying out for Ence, his agent also state Br0 did not have any issue with his health. This is just a bogus move from Blast and Astralis.
Nice shirt man, Wicca phase is underrated
From getting boycotted to getting 13-0 by Vitality. Apex really delivered.😂
No way this guy has a wicca phase eternal springs t shirt. Huge respect bro
I’ll say it every time you wear it on a video, that wicca phase shirt goes stupid hard
Teams won't forfeit because, as you said, there is money on the line.
And I thought it was about the poor state of the game one year after release!
i was not expecting to see one of the score hosts wearing a wicca phase springs eternal shirt

Im sorry but it doesnt matter how unfortunate the thing is, if you dont apply the rule for everybody what is the point of having it in the first place?
digging the wicca phase tshirt ya got there boi
People forget that BLAST and Astralis are technically owned by the same entity so
"All the rules are being followed here"
CS2 situation is insane
If the BYD Sealion hybrid is more of a range extended EV, does this mean Toyota looking into using BYD hybrid tech is shifting more to fully electrically driven cars?
And that's why Astralis lost. Happy now?

Is cs2 playable now? I do not play fps games but i hear a lot of bad review regarding cs2 back then.
Honestly it's not a horrible game, it's just not csgo. Think of it like the super smash bro games they make today. They are all decent games but none of them will give you the freedom melee did.
Yep, still shit.
Hopefully next year it gets better
no just don't play it
No
Only reason to play it is to grind case drops every week
No mention of how Blast is owned by the same org that owns Astralis? (technically they're separate now, but come on...)
Reminder that the Facebook group for the Danish scene back in the day was literally named "Fuck Cadian"
Remember the contract Astralis made with Blast on 2019? So yeah. Now mixed feelings about Astralis. Heroic-CadiaN drama that happened before.
As a dane, i dont back astralis. But they are right, they cant tell the public about Br0's medical status due to danish law. Its an exploit that isn't fair.
SDY pulled Br0 to ENCE, they had really good connection in Monte.
Please explain the format of cs tournaments ESL, IEM, PGL everything.
