Nah the old fnatic was better

Old fnatic of the time was untouchable, innovative, and reinvented how anti-eco rounds are played

@@JadenSmithEyes i’d say more dominant, definitely not better

gla1ve

How about their coach

glave is my favorite, i love glave

zonic

gla1ve gets all the credit he deserves, but I think it was Zonic who came up with most of the nade strats and thus deserves a lot of credit as well.

😔 only if that was possible

Fact lol

even without that, no one had chance bro lmao

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.

@@shin29534 In xyp9x's prime, his winrate in 1v2's was more than 50%. That is insane

It was like, 2018-2020 where they were the best man.

@@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.

I do too 😥

they didn't play all that bad in game 2 to be honest but yeah

NAVI, G2, Vitality this major are absolutely godlike, I think even old astralis will will struggle with them

@@AbDeRRaHiMX old astralis are dog compared to navi

@@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.

navi,g2,gambit and vitality would all beat them imo but i would love to see it!!

I hate Astralis. Most boring team to watch. They are just a better team than everyone else. Nothing is interesting about them

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.

"this has been" is very important part which you didnt write ;)

Yeah, you do expect outclassing everyone from a 4 time major champion xD

NiP did go 87-0 at pro level tho

@@RSiQu yeah but that was WAY before teams had transitioned from 1.6 and Source to CSGO

so true i miss the old days

Yeah I hope the change reinvigorates dev1ce and the rest of the guys to step up to prove how good u are

@@wolffreezerlivestreamer man i feel after dev1ce left all of them stepped up but unfortunately they did not have an awper lets see what lucky can do

No

The ONLY best.

@@7cknggood126 who gets beaten by a low bracket team like nip

No.. theyre not... they are definitely still a top team one of the best, but there is no longer that wide gap between them and others.. they are fully beatable now, while they were near invincible during their reign. "used to be" is correct.

No more dev1ce

@@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 was the blueprint for what a good team was. when you dominate for so long, people learn how to counter your tactics. so no, they won’t be the best team for much longer

That's what the Internet is for. Go do it. Some amazing wins.

@@idrinkmilk282 ye, but if i will do it now i won't get those special emotions when you dont know the result of the match and you are cheering for them and rejoice in every round won

Now it's become standard for CTs

wait till bubzkji get comfortable on T-side nuke, and Astralis six man roster will be harder to beat

Yup, I agree. When a team relies on teamwork so heavily and loses their support/clutcher, and IGL, that's going to hurt. It's going to take them a while consistently playing again and despite that they still finished the year as number 1. Will take time but I think Astralis will have another era again.

lmfao

@@itsjustthatsimple628 and bubjski

+zonic = Best coach

Dupreeh = Deagle + AK Magisk = M4 + AK Would be slightly more suitable but ok

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.
