[@tqnpersonal]

@@selwop1 They always ask what's he?
But never how's he?

[@tuananhhoang7113]

From the first tournament win since forever to 2018 FACEIT Major champion ...... Prop to Astralis. This is the era of Astralis dominance

[@munch6814]

Yeah, I too noticed that Astralis used a lot of HE and threw it such at almost each and every HE would cause significant damage.

[@crowbar3]

Astralis' utility usage was on point in both IEM Sydney and Dreamhack Marseille. Their fundamental CS is very strong.

[@envyzzz8374]

Zonic and gla1ve bringing another level to the game

[@HattonGames]

that nade stack on the pillar is really interesting, great vid!

[@BlitzEsportsCSGO]

[@BlitzEsportsCSGO]

Thanks!

[@kills3219]

oh shh!!!!! this reply made my day, your vids cure cancer bro ty

[@BlitzEsportsCSGO]

Haha if that's the case, I'm putting this on repeat while solo-queuing!

[@slane8713]

I think the stack he on overpass actually worked against faze in Sydney, but not sure tho.

[@BlitzEsportsCSGO]

It did. Was super bummed out to see it work when this video was already being edited :/
Round 6: ua-cam.com/video/ACa2n14RdVY/v-deo.htmlm43s

[@kod1csgo613]

Yes they killed xizt

[@ewweg]

no that didt work, and the clip you showed their nades missed. it was round 34 overtime, xizt got killed

[@ewweg]

missed as in; they are not supposed to hit the wall.

[@maverickburns864]

Really high quality content!

[@oldduhpe2738]

Good video!!

[@JKTez]

Insane

[@luqmanulhakiem3014]

I love astralis

[@kijinseija727]

Grenades are versatile weapons used by versatile people.

[@CarlosKamenov]

goals......

[@bencilbusher5070]

HE are very underrated.
I always buy it for T side pistol round so that i can headshot easier.

[@puts117]

music ???

[@indonesia_playa]

Yo blitz can you tell me the song plz

[@Eidolon5150]

No love for dupreeh so underrated

[@BawzGames]

seen this with elmapuddy i think

[@CloudsBiggestFan]

Boy he is not ready to see the London Major

[@johnpaulbrebonia9106]

I love how astralis uses nades, I can’t find anyone in silver who does

[@JohnDoe-rw7cn]

7th

[@crowbar3]

Hotgps well in silver they just toss pro self flashes to get themselves killed

[@panjan9834]

You would be better of not expecting this kind of teamplay in matchmaking, no matter the rank.

[@matyaszalka4070]

yeah they cant use nades even in high nova-mg

[@hao2000ki]

dont even use nades this effectively in lem, much less in lower ranks lol

[@popefrancis2877]

I wont be suprised if valve nerfs HEs after the whole astralis no. 1 era

[@adamtorrie5938]

they're gonna come back I know it :')

[@devils9844]

You are awesome but you should make vedios more frequently as the time difference between your vedios is very high and breaks the money.

[@jscuk6068]

how about blitz esport sc2? i would love it

[@BlitzEsportsCSGO]

You have no idea how happy that would make me. StarCraft and CS are the only 2 games I care about.

[@ElectraPlayz]

Let's be honest, Astralis is one of the smartest teams out there

[@klemenpodgorsek7220]

U forgot 2 clips at least both from overpass vs faze one killing guardian on picnic and 1 from short to B killing i think karrigan on monster..

[@ndh5452]

Klemen Podgoršek That was in Sydney

[@klemenpodgorsek7220]

MemeMeister : Video is called how they setup nades. Than get the title straight

[@ethan7744]

Device looks like Tom Cruise

[@lucisr669]

EZ

[@simonsen7074]

0-3

[@camdened123456]

2 in overtime and 1 16-14. That's almost a 3-0 too. It's not like they got blown out.

[@simonsen7074]

yeah i know it was close in all matches, but i knew my comment would be seens as bragging or whatever. No i think australis played extremly good, faze overran them while being as good or worse strategic-wise

[@camdened123456]

That seemed to be it. It seemed like Faze won because on key rounds Niko and Rain were just better at fragging than everyone else

[@Aciel_Yu]

i dont get how they've just realized this nades stack meta. In my country there is a game called AK (used be like CS) they've been doing this nades stack since 2012, and as soon as i shifted my FPS game to CS GO i was wondering how no one is doing this. Now they've done it LOL.
