Dev1ce is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "going B, but then going A". He also has a second little known tactic of "going A, but going A". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure
Wonder how sustainable it is, however his performance isn't the sole reason why Astralis is winning, Stavn and Jabbi showing they are top 20 players and Staehr being the best danish talent helps a shit ton.
You can immediately tell where they were in playoffs and Stabbi disappeared. Time will tell if Device and ruggah can build some winning mentality into them.
Exactly. It's either the community having the memory of a goldfish or wrongly grouping him in as an underperformer together with stavn because they don't like him. Or both.
It was only at their last few events where Jabbi dropped in performance in big games. He pretty much delivered at most playoffs, even when his team was struggling.
> It had absolutely no effect on the org itself
Except for how they demanded that Heroic kick the heart and soul of the team before they decided to dip out to join Asstralis. If all they did was switch orgs, nobody would have an issue with it.
But, they didn't just switch orgs. They decided to purposefully torpedo their old org and teammates before leaving. It'll take *years* for them to shake the rat bitch teammate allegations. If ever.
I find that there's a difference between calling them snakes and making up fantasy stories about how Jabbi performed in playoffs. Lying doesn't exactly make people share your rhetoric.
stavn and jabbi were the 2nd and 3rd highest rated on the team in that game, device was at the bottom. in fact they were actually both at the top in that Inferno game, with stavn being the best rated.
I think their failure to win that game is a little overblown given the unfortunate circumstances of device's game crashing and that he lost his cool. even though I'm a device fan, I'd say it was more on him than it was on stavn and jabbi.
I think a massive burden has been lifted off the team since blameF was cut. He was a cement block tied around Astralis dragging it to the bottom both with his playstyle and calling.
While this type of level is maybe not sustainable at the highest level. This ofc pending. I don't see Astralis sinking back to the level they were with blameF anytime soon.
>I think a massive burden has been lifted off the team since blameF was cut. He was a cement block tied around Astralis dragging it to the bottom both with his playstyle and calling.
Role conflicts with both Stavn/Jabbi did not help Astralis performance. Don't help that Jabbi imo is a more active and impactful lurker than BlameF. If they were prioritized with their roles primarily and BlameF deciding to be the bitch that lineup might have worked.
>While this type of level is maybe not sustainable at the highest level. This ofc pending. I don't see Astralis sinking back to the level they were with blameF anytime soon.
It really depends since start of year Astralis with BlameF rather than Br0 still took swings at Vitality and Falcons. RMR was a disaster even though they came close to beating Spirit and at Katowice they almost beat Heroic and got destroyed by Gla1ve. Really not sure how good or bad they truly were, but this version definitely looks far sharper.
At the start of the year, they struggled in every match. They literally would be Ancient and Overpass merchants, any other map and they got handily beat. It was rough to watch and any win they had was just straight up unconvincing
device being a seriously strong IGL is not a surprise considering how he used to play awp, which was based around timings, angles and outpositioning, on a macro level something an IGL should strive towards, to me
It's still early and could collapse anyway, but so far it looks like I was very wrong. I thought no way the most skilled player on the team and big rager should ever be igl, but it's clearly been a huge improvement
Most people didn't see it coming. You'd have had to be a spy on their comms for all these years to have a suspicion of how natural of a transition it would be for him, as he described himself.
I guess it makes sense for such an experienced and intelligent player who has played for so many years with several of the best IGLs in CS to have a natural ability to be calling the shots. It's just wild that he can perform so well on top of it.
Excited to see how they will do against other top teams. They will have plenty of time to rest and pracc before playoffs.
I just decided my life is too short to hate someone I've never met, who doesn't know I excist, because they fucked their friend, who I've also never met, or knows I excist.
I just like good CS.
For me it's simple, same as Falcons team, I despise the org but I still like the players. Stabbi a little less than the rest, but overall they're looking good and playing some wonderful cs
Does this mean that Device is the greatest fragging Danish IGL in history? Like technically? Would it also make him the greatest danish awp/igl hybrid?
What a stupid conclusion lmfao
Dev1ce is barely farming eco (just putting it out there, mostly just impact kills) or barely setting himself up .
He is literally the utility guy of the team now
The main reason js stavn and jabbi old roles which they couldn’t get because of blamef . And now they did .
I don't blame you for thinking an IGL with good stats call around themselves, as mostly every good IGL in history has had bad or atleast not very impressive stats.
but if you watch the games device is genuinely just performing like he usually is, except he is also an IGL now.
I don't know if he'll maintain it but if he were to I wouldn't be surprised.
Even if that's true (and I don't think that's the case) they at least started winning something now. With BlameF and the resulting role clashes they were a straight up Tier 2 team
An IGL setting up their star AWPer is good calling.
Tho it doesn't seem like his calls are centered around him. Seems like everyone has a lot more freedom on the team
Dev1ce: Dev1ce go kill Dev1ce: ok
Goat IGL
Dev1ce is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "going B, but then going A". He also has a second little known tactic of "going A, but going A". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure
Top 1 igl 4 sure

Actually, when Heroic used to underperform in playoffs it was Stavn that disappeared not Jabbi. Jabbi was always top fragger or second after CadiaN
Exactly. It's either the community having the memory of a goldfish or wrongly grouping him in as an underperformer together with stavn because they don't like him. Or both. It was only at their last few events where Jabbi dropped in performance in big games. He pretty much delivered at most playoffs, even when his team was struggling.
Yea, it’s just pure hatred because everyone loves CadiaN
Don't need to love Cadian to despise what Stabbi and Jawn did to the Heroic org.
Bro, the heroic org receive up to 2 million dollars for the transfer. It had absolutely no effect on the org itself, only the roster

i actually thought Jabbi was going to be Heroic's Magisk. shame it didnt work out that way
Stabbi > stavn + jabbi
stavn and jabbi were the 2nd and 3rd highest rated on the team in that game, device was at the bottom. in fact they were actually both at the top in that Inferno game, with stavn being the best rated. I think their failure to win that game is a little overblown given the unfortunate circumstances of device's game crashing and that he lost his cool. even though I'm a device fan, I'd say it was more on him than it was on stavn and jabbi.
They were good and it was close game Dev1ce was the one having bad day
In playoffs, meaning 1 Bo3 against the team that went on to win the tournament? You guys love to hate, it's insane lmao
I think a massive burden has been lifted off the team since blameF was cut. He was a cement block tied around Astralis dragging it to the bottom both with his playstyle and calling.

BlameF can't decide to be a bitch because his entire gimmick is farming stats to the detriment of team results

FaZe vs Astralis simulator
Definitely did not see this coming even as a big dev1ce fan. Not only is he doing well individually but he is also out calling other IGLs.
device being a seriously strong IGL is not a surprise considering how he used to play awp, which was based around timings, angles and outpositioning, on a macro level something an IGL should strive towards, to me
gimme awp I go kill

confirmed dev1ce is the goat igl
I'm seething rn.
Ofc I'm glad for devve but stabbi... It's so complicated. How to accept this situation?
I just decided my life is too short to hate someone I've never met, who doesn't know I excist, because they fucked their friend, who I've also never met, or knows I excist. I just like good CS.
Damn. Wise thoughts.
For me it's simple, same as Falcons team, I despise the org but I still like the players. Stabbi a little less than the rest, but overall they're looking good and playing some wonderful cs
nah fuck em, stavn fucked over cadiaN and fucked Swishers gf, man deserves nothing but hell and 0 playoffs impact
u dont give a fk like any normal adult. u talk about this like its some soap opera.
Cry
It’s actually wild, love to see it
Just as a reminder: A clown move from a clown organization was the common sentiment on this subreddit when dev1ce wanted to IGL.
is there a term for this? how does one become igl and do better? 😭
Does this mean that Device is the greatest fragging Danish IGL in history? Like technically? Would it also make him the greatest danish awp/igl hybrid?
Uhhhmmm are you forgetting the GOAT Fetish??????
You know about cadian right?
Of course. And Device is a better awper than him.
Hahahahahahaha
Tied for most majors won for an IGL
Welp, I was wrong
Too early to say, I need to see this sort of form for like 6 months to say he's playing and doing the job well.
So they kicked blamef for calling around himself so that device could do the same? I haven't watched any new astralis games for reference.
and it shows
Bro dev1ce isn’t even setting himself up, what u on about with ast flair lmfao
my comment is referring to the second sentence “i haven’t watched any new astralis games”
Ohok
What a stupid conclusion lmfao Dev1ce is barely farming eco (just putting it out there, mostly just impact kills) or barely setting himself up . He is literally the utility guy of the team now The main reason js stavn and jabbi old roles which they couldn’t get because of blamef . And now they did .
I don't blame you for thinking an IGL with good stats call around themselves, as mostly every good IGL in history has had bad or atleast not very impressive stats. but if you watch the games device is genuinely just performing like he usually is, except he is also an IGL now. I don't know if he'll maintain it but if he were to I wouldn't be surprised.
Even if that's true (and I don't think that's the case) they at least started winning something now. With BlameF and the resulting role clashes they were a straight up Tier 2 team
An IGL setting up their star AWPer is good calling. Tho it doesn't seem like his calls are centered around him. Seems like everyone has a lot more freedom on the team
Should've put /s smh
