    Astralis really went from 3 major wins in a row to not attending 3 times in a row 😂

    On the topic of home crowd advantage, it'll be pretty cool to have karrigan getting the Danish fans. Like okay donk didn't flop under the pressure of the Kato grand final, playing against NEO's team in Poland, but what about if it's in Copenhagen and karrigan makes a sick call and the entire crowd is screaming to get him out... no Astralis really opens up the potential for some more interesting storylines

    I did sports in hs and college for fun but I always wanted to be the best version of myself. I did something similar to device and I regret it especially after the rich speech. I was losing interest because I would have to train by myself in rain, heat, cold, etc. I took my spot on my college team for granted and when I posted something it was wraps. The only difference is that I’m a scrub and device is an icon, which is why he doesn’t get the magnifying class except from purists.
    Hearing that speech is what I wish I heard from my head coach instead of what he told me instead.
    Don’t take these spots for granted, keep your head down and keep grinding. I lost my final two months of track and field, working hard and on the come up, because “I was upset and not having fun”. If you are blessed to be in a spot like I was or device is, focus on the long run, not the now because the prize is sweeter at the end

    Glad to hear such a healthy attitude with how you deal with criticism Rich.
    I’m a pharmacist in NZ, and while I support free healthcare, it has made a lot of us very entitled.
    Every day we have many negative, angry situations with people who are upset that we cannot do what they want. The few really heartwarming good ones do make up for the bad ones.

    I previously commented on the Hunden issue, agreed on Richards point about "burn it all down".. As much as I enjoy what is happening to Astralis, I again have to agree with Rich.. dev1ce is why I picked up the AWP.. this is a pathetic reincarnation of what he used to be. It saddens me to the core, that a player that I looked up to (and in some form still do), has ended up being a shell of himself.

    In the LCQ when I saw the match ups and realised, if they beat Astralis, 9Pandas go straight to the final, I knew they'd qualify.
    You could see how much it meant to them when they lost to Amkal and you could see how washed out Astralis (and even Guild) looked, it was obvious and only a limping GL could challenge them.

      As a Liquid supporter, I was glad I was right too
      Americas RMR a tragedy of course but lets put it in perspective with the story of 3 'super' teams:
      Astralis, 3 man solid core, adds Stabbi duo - Loses to nobodies and implodes
      Falcons, snipes the 3 man ENCE core but snubs Nertz - Loses to nobies
      Liquid, put together 4 sets of players in a brand new player, has played a 1 LAN qualifier in 3 months, loses to America's top 2 teams

    i just knew when the (deserved) outcry to astralis performance happened pimp would bootlick the players to his hearts' content
    why are danes, who are in no way related to the team, so eager to just defend astralis for no reason? you know astralis, the team that will bully and use their massive capital to dick on smaller teams any way they can. beside hltv which is just cs 4chan i saw no personal attacks by people that matter btw, just laughing and ridicule. which was completely merited. but danes get their panties twisted in a bunch whenever astralis gets criticized.
    danes remind me of superhero movie fans. when you critize marvel avengers part 45/b: revenge of the slop they are almost identical.

    We take the LFN boys for granted in esports. Even though there are fans that support these guys, the scene has done a terrible disservice to all of the work they have done. It feels like the attitudes towards LFN are slowly shifting as we go through the esports winter. They've won awards and as impossible as it is, there could be no greater award than to have the community at large actually support them.

    Device tweeting that mid tournament is totally out of pocket. Esports competitors are sometimes very soft, I have trouble remembering hardly any pro sports athletes who say they are "not feeling it" mid tournament. Maybe you're not feeling it, but shouldn't that stay in the locker room to avoid bringing down your team publicly or giving the opponent a mental edge? Seems basic.
