Has the current Astralis line up has found their ceiling?


In the beginning it all went well since probably people dont know how to counter device IGL tactics. But now seems like theres nothing left to discover. The playstyle of gungho attacking also has been counter strat by few teams. Sometimes the players that were known for raw aimings too were simply out aimed (Except for device). I just dont see any improvement potential at all.

I mean currently its better than the BlameF era imo, but thats just a very low bar. What do you think?

    Dev1ce need to more focus in his awp instead of being igl … he is not a good igl tbh

  2. Ok I’ll give you this for free
    -stabbi duo
    +literally anyone who isn’t a pos(this will increase the likability of the team by 99.532%) +the hooxster as igl
    +Sell device body pillows to gain mad money
    +You can milk the Hooxi gigachad meme

    I just hope whatever they do, they don’t set the next changes around stabbi..
    Device, staehr, br0 have potential as a core.

    its happening all over again like k0nfig-blameF duo, first they have a good showing a then falling off, I guess danes don’t have it in them to be proper reliable riflers barring few people like old Astralis boys.

    They hit their ceiling at Chengdu but people weren’t ready for that conversation.

  6. Honestly they need to get device off IGL and put him into his old primary awp + 2nd caller role. I’d honestly remove stavn, he’s like the danish REZ, good games here and there, but otherwise have been invisible for a long time especially in high stakes matches.

    HooXi could legitimately benefit this team, he has solid strats and can unlock youngster potential, maybe even squeeze more out of br0 and Staehr and the connection he already has with jabbi, having an amazing awper and 2nd caller in device would also legitimately help him call a lot better and improve his own performance.

    If they want to keep Device as IGL, they should – Stavn + BlameF. Jabbi is ok, Bro is decent for a support player, Staehr has a bad performance yesterday but overrall he’s more consistence than Stavn

  8. I think they have really good aimers and playmakers but you see them throw away advantages by taking unnecessary risks like walking through smokes with no support or info. The play style is too loose to have consistency. I don’t think ruggah is a very tactical coach and I would think you need a more tactical igl that can still allow some freedoms (like Hooxi), or a very structured coach who can implement a system to work around (like blade).
