The reason astralis are already choking is because it's a psychological trick. If they choke early in the tournament, they won't choke later.

u/Timewarper3000 Godsent Jan 22 '17
That wasn't a choke, though. It was like they didn't even have lungs to choke with. Both great teams, sad it was so one-sided.

Godsent really worked their ass of the last week the individual performance was superb honestly. Next to that pronax read them like a book. Props to Godsent. Astralis has had better games but they really got outsmarted mostly. Although that is what happens when you have a fuckton of matches on train and you give pronax (and maybe some others) a huge amount of time to analyze the demos.

He said that just because they broke SK perfect record? I mean, SK was already in the brink of kicking fnx and playing really bad, not taking credit away from Astralis but this isn't the same as beating SK's train back in August.

MLG Columbus semi's, lost to NaVi.
First game was a incredibly close inferno that Astralis choked away.
Dust2 was second and it was one of the most depressing things I've watched, where even rounds that looked like they were easy wins were lost, and they were tilted off the face of the earth.→ More replies (1)14

Godsent just defeated the team who can play so well on Train that they can beat SK. They didn't even just win they rekted them.
This is such a huge upset. Can't even fathom the skins fangays would've lost on CSGL if they were still betting.

I don't really see how they'd go 0-3 though, all things considered... They performed really well in the qualifier and even skipped WESG in order to practice more.

I'm so happy for my boy Lekr0. He's been passed around in this Godsent Fnatic mess and I'm just happy to see him shine. Even if JW and Flusha go back to Fnatic, I hope to see him be as prevelant on the scene as he is now. Amazing player.

People bitch like Godsent qualifying was a fluke, like they beat some t4 teams, when all teams they won against are at the major..
And now they beat the #1 favourite to win the whole thing on their best map and still it's luck, smh.

Does somebody understands why Godsent beat them so heavily? Out of nowhere? Godsent played so inconsistently on online qualifiers.

u/it20wk Jan 22 '17
And they played consistently great at the lan major qualifiers. Looks like you never watched pro CS GO enough. One thing I have learned from many years of watching CS GO are two rules, never bet against VP cause the plow can show up anytime, and never bet against a team with flusha and JW on lan, especially at the majors. Not to mention this team has 4/5 major winners, when godsent was formed as it is, it was praised as a very strong team on paper but couldn't deliver results. Now they are delivering.

u/lmpervious Jan 22 '17
Yeah I'm not going to go so far as to say they're not the best, but I always felt like Thorin really jumped to conclusions on that. SK was so solid on it for so long showing amazing consistency while Astralis was just alright on it from what I remembered, and then once Astralis beat SK once, they were suddenly the best team on it when I never heard their name come up for that map before then.
Then again Glaive was pretty new to the lineup at that point so I guess it's hard to say regardless. Actually that reinforces my point now that I think about it. I'll be interested in seeing if this one game was a fluke because maybe they will destroy everyone else on Train here on out. It's certainly still a strong map for them.
