This Astralis team is undoubtedly the best CSGO team of all time. In their twilight years now but they dominated everyone for so long it's about time. All legends.
Astralis changed the whole professional stage of cs go gaming. they were so lonely on top i am glad it is more competitive right now and other teams improved on their own, because back then they really made it look easy to obliterate top tier teams
They played like a fine tuned orchestra, all synchronized and gla1ve's big brain changing the way the game was played. Nobody can mantain this level for a long time, hence burnout, depression and so on. It was beautiful while it lasted, but they were human after all. Respect to the greatest team (and I say team, cause it was all teamwork at a level never seen before) of all time. To the stars.
They literally need -4.5 odds just to make the odds even against the best teams. that means if ur the second best team u still won't be favored to win more than 12 rounds against astralis every map.
A year later, really sad to see the team fall off this hard. Other teams caught up and they just couldn't handle it. Was an amazing era to watch while it happened though.
@@natoh72 winning 2 of the 3 last tournaments of the year and getting in the finals in the 3rd. Beating vita in the last tournament, and that's still not enough. You are hard to satisfy
@@Bedhead13 Yeah they were great with Kjaerbye, winning the 2017 Eleague major, but they were never a dominant team with tactics and strategy beyond any other team until Magisk joined. Idk how Magisk joining caused them to completely reinvent the stratbook and the CSGO meta because it's pretty clearly due to Glaive and Zonic, but it was just the absolute perfect pairing of 5 players that all knew their roles and maximized their performances every time. Having all 5 players in the top 20 is absolutely ridiculous.
The best team of counterstrike players ever assembled, nobody will ever be like astralis again. I first started watching cs when they won their first major and my god was I not expecting them to carry it into the heavens. My favorite team ever, I’ll miss these glory days. They are the reason I still love this game
That is what makes it interesting. To see the level that they are on and how they think about the game. They are better than everyone else in a game that has been out since 2012. It is not easy to achieve that and whenever they pull out a new idea I get excited
@@jonathanlindqvist2328 It's not that Astralis is boring, you came from a wrong biased perspective. It is the other teams that boring bcs couldn't give Astralis a good competition when they are in a good form. So, Astralis have elevated the quality of competition these last 2 years, shall we just be grateful that their inventions to the game make CS:GO one of the best esports title in the world? I think for a CS nerd like me, CS:GO is on the most interesting competition so far rn, all tier 1 teams can give a really good close intense matches. Just like Ast vs NaVi EPL S12 GF and Vita vs NaVi on IEM Beijing 2020 GF. 🤗
@@muhammadhabibalfarabi568 I strongly disagree with them not being boring. I don't want to watch perfect plays. Mistakes and dumb plays makes it fun and exciting.
@@jonathanlindqvist2328 Yea I agree with the mistakes part. But they are being paid to win as much as they can possibly make, their career is to win not to entertain. So, how they play itself already shows how good their work ethic is. But, yeah, if you always expecting mistakes and dumb plays, I recommend you to watch FPL or Showdown matches, but on an actual tournament, it is hard to expect that, and I think that what makes you disappointed. Expecting less than these teams is a mistake itself. I also do hope though, that this year they can play a sick matches, especially with the atmosphere on LAN, where the players are pulling crazy unthinkable plays.
There has never, nor will there ever, be a team that dominates the way that Astralis did. Yes they had some of the world's best CS players, but their teamwork combined with that made them unstoppable. Crazy to think what could have happened if COVID didn't happen and break them up.
@@redlyred1372 Old Astralis vs current Navi would be an interesting match. Firepower vs the best teamplay, utility usage and ingame leading ever seen in CS. I still think old Astralis would take them through sheer reads, since old Astralis is still top3 in overall firepower ever IMO. Even with all teams having adapted a lot of old Astralis’s playbook, noone has done it as well yet.
I just met gla1ve on a retake server... that shit got me so shook it has me watching all of these astralis videos :D btw.. yea he dominated me and everyone else

@@Carl-yn7vt I dont think they can regain their dominance but I think they can get back to the top. The individual skill is insane, they only need a good awper and they will be top tier.

Astralis reinvented the way the game was played, even though it had been out for nearly a decade at that point. Very few teams have ever had that impact, and the only other ones that did changed the game while it was still in its infancy.

@@ryanharris7891In an interview with Dupreeh, he asked why Astralis broke up and he said they went their separate ways when Dev1ce left for NIP and the players couldn’t agree with the company on the direction they were going. Specifically the seven man team. Also, Astralis at the time was reluctant to give them time off. They are all still good friends
Did you ask "most people" at this time in counter strike history what they thought? Because if not, I reject your statement and ask for actual proof. I loved watching cs back then. So did the hundreds of thousands of others watching. Astralis dominating and liquid being their only competition was thrilling to watch. Watching liquid almost have an era and having astralis deny it was thrilling.
entire nade strat is to kill people in certaint positions, so later into the round dupreeh is more confident to not check postions, because enemies wont wanna get double or triple naded again. idk why other teams dont do this, at most it takes like 600-900 bucks to possibly have a position clear for the entire round.
Timing is second to none, with nades. Team play is what get them so far, never seen anything like it. Only when teams win back to back majors and 4 of Them, can you put Them in the same league as Astralis, simple as that
5:43 "Nicely done for Twistzz" actually nicely done for stewie cause the opponent was blind and he didnt get a chance to do some damage because of stewie's flash
Time beats everyone eventually: Roster changes, individuals taking breaks, so on. I’m still not convinced any team has been better than their peak yet.
Even though I personally witnessed Astralis' rise to the top it's so easy to forget their impact on the development of the way the game is played fundamentally. Those nade kills seem so common place and ordinary now in 2024, but it's easy to forget almost no one ever even bought the HE grenade in 2018. Seemed like a waste of nade space, you could have an extra flash, a smoke or molotov instead. Hell, a breakthrough in HE nade meta was when Karrigan pioneered using them instead of a smoke for crossing in Dust II. Then Astralis started raining death on everyone's heads with well placed and timed HEs and soon everyone was doing it.
@@relaxationhaven1807 hahahhahahah vitality useless bots, can't compare those french bots to Astralis. Look at the hltv ranking kid. Astralis is the best and will always be

3:09 can't ignore that fer play
The good old times. When fans from other teams 'whine' at Astralis for being too stronk. Calling their brand of CS "boring".
I remember back in 2014-2015 those are always Show up on any pro FRAGMOVIES..... As some that got one Tapped and killed,and they manage to reach the top
Fnatic and vp really developed this thing called teamwork in cs and astralis mastered it
Everything have to change nothing is forever but i dont think there will have a team achieve 4 major cups like them
Astralis is like Real madrid of csgo ✌✌
I kinda miss this astralis because if they lost it was so hype
2018 is the best csgo year
-prime astralis
-prime s1mple
-boston major
1:26 love u dev1ce
Goat team for real, the domination in winning major 3x is unmatched
Astralis's Utilities just changed the whole game!❤️
