Astralis have their IGL gla1ve back and he looked good overall in his opening match versus Complexity. He has swapped some positions though from when he left and is still getting comfortable.

Out of curiosity will you ever do a video on Complexity? They're one of my favorite teams right now and I would personally love to see you break down their team play or the roles of one of their players. No matter what you do though, I just want to let you know that I appreciate your content and that you're doing great work for the community of CSGO. Keep up the good stuff, man.

Watching this just makes me realize how crucial Xyp is as an anchor on their CT-side of Train.

@WreveAU 3 жыл бұрын

Tbh Xyp9x is the king of inner bombsite anchors. As Elma said in this video he's been playing the position since the beginning of time and as a player he's very, very good at making the best of being outnumbered (which happens all the time when you're alone defending the inner site) and knows when to play his life and when to go for kills to make the retake better/possible for his team

@@WreveAU Es3tag played so well as B site anchor, I think if Astralis are going to play train they should keep Es3tag until Xyp9x comes back.

@WreveAU 3 жыл бұрын

I mean that's the whole idea of the 40 trillion man roster I guess. They're definitely still in a teething period of actually being able to choose between players so give them time imo. If TOs allow it they'll undoubtedly sub out players on specific maps (bub and xyp basically being require on Train for example)

@SlimShady-tc5mb 3 жыл бұрын

Es3tag is worthy to replace Xyp9x, he's really good, but Bubzjki is still questionable...

@WreveAU 3 жыл бұрын

So sad that we'll prolly never see a breakdown of Gen.G strats from Elma but it is what it is. Better to have Elma in the top tier coaching role he deserves and not being able to talk about one team on his YT channel than being able to talk about every tier 1 team but still coaching a tier 2 team. Good to see that this channel is still 90% Astralis demos as well :Kappa:

@birkobird 3 жыл бұрын

As a next video topic, I'd love to know why so many pro teams put the bomb out first, like Round 4 of this demo you should at the opening. Gla1ve pushes so far forward with the bomb, exposing himself to so many angles; if he got picked the round instantly becomes way easier for CoL as Astralis have to go out of position to retrieve and plant the bomb. Why would he take that risk, especially since the Connector players were coming in fast enough to clean up the round if he doesn't plant.
