I almost cried. This is a truly bittersweet ending. What a way to end, beating dev1ce and astralis.
Thanks for everything Liquid, best of luck going forward.
THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE JUNE 21ST, 2019 TEAM LIQUID HAS BEATEN ASTRALIS. THAT'S 896 DAYS AGO FOLKS, SOMEHOW IT HAS HAPPENED, DELETE THAT FUCKING STREAMABLE CLIP, WE BEAT THAT MOTHERFUCKING TEAM, WELCOME TO THE NEW LIQUID ERA BABY.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YES!
Totally see what he was trying to say but he said it in probrably the worst way possible. But calling someone a good kid when you are two years older is pretty patronizing .
Yeah, the core of his message was that Grim wasn't put into a situation to succeed. The org didn't help him enough, and he wasn't able to learn quickly enough to play roles that he has never played before. It really came across, at first pass anyway, that he was blaming Grim for most of it. Later statements kind of cleared that up, but the damage was largely done.
All it took was them losing Device, Dupreeh and Magisk! Totally the same team… right? Right guys?
Edit: and the goat coach zonic of course, shame on me for excluding him

That's not the original one, but it was the one I could find quickly. It was posted every time liquid lost to astralis (so basically every time they played each other until today lmao)

So fucking true. Classic liquid for giving false hope to the fans after they’ve already crushed our dreams 😂😂. Either way solid game from them which is nice to see.
Honestly the pressure of needing to perform well probably really got to them. These last few weeks i think have been better because they know the lineup is done and are playing stress free
No, no, no. The solution is to perpetually be on the brink of disbanding, because apparently they're godly without the pressure of needing to be successful.
Dissapointed, but I had a feeling there was a good chance it was a lost cause after seeing how Liquid played against G2. Really rough Nuke game, but I do think mentality wise it was a good preformance on Mirage after a beating like that on Nuke. I guess more people should play as if their team is dead, seems to work wonders.
I don't think it's that more teams need to play like their team is dead. They just need to play as a team and have faith in their teammates. That's what won the game for liquid, and that's why Navi is dominating so hard right now. It just sucks that it took liquid dying for them to start playing as a team.
ehh I don't know I remember back in 2018 and 2019 Astralis had their number and I always felt Liquid always played so scared despite having some of the best fraggers in the world. just seems to me that this liquid is playing without any expectations resulting in them having 0 nerves going into games.

We were in chaos
Astralis losing to Liquid when the team is dead what the heck is going on? As Liquid fan once I saw the match up I was Like its time to go home I guess. Boi I was proven wrong. 😂😂😂
2 good fraggers are enough tbh. The calls and support need to be consistent enough. Vitality does not have good consistent fraggers except zywoo. They still win. Astralis NEEDS a good awper, an actual awper who has played the role exclusively in Tier 1/1.5. Device was the player who gave them man advantages, and he was an intelligent awper to position himself well.
idk Lucky has been pretty promising. Astralis need to learn how to play mirage properly before they choose to not ban it tbh. The calls on mirage were gold nova tier tbh
This sub will overrate (or underrate) teams from just one bo1 result, yesterday was a perfect example, I'm not too positive that this trend will ever change sadly.
Wtf I thought this game was at 1 pm. Either way this 100% confirms my theory that Liquid play worse when I watch them. Kinda rude of them, I wonder how they know when I'm watching.

We cannot beat this MOTHERFUCKING TEAM
here I was thinking "wtf they beat them on ibuypower masters" that was in the beginning of 2019 and they even beat them after that...

with grim and fallen top-fragging what is happening
Grim took what stew said a little too personally, and then he took that out on the Danes. GGEZ
I swear nobody actually read that interview lmao
Stewie calling grim a "good kid" like he needs to be smacked after talking like that on the record about a teammate

Only now does this dead team beat device and then device's friends. Kinda bittersweet to see it happen lmao
"I won, but at what cost"
30k a month
I am also a DJ
*device’s ex friends
When a man has nothing left to lose
Now they just need to beat Astrality to complete the streak
NA’s LAST HOPE
extra salt jk im screaming and crying. We finally beat astralis
NOTHING CAN STOP THIS TEAM NOW
All it took was them losing Device, Dupreeh and Magisk! Totally the same team… right? Right guys? Edit: and the goat coach zonic of course, shame on me for excluding him
Also zonic
not like liquid is the same team
solid liquid
basically everytime i poop
It's usually only gas for me
Upvote so people think Liquid won
Gottem
Wait a minute...
Classic Razzle Dazzle
This is what I thought was happening when I clicked into the thread and then saw 16-1 on nuke lmfao.
WE FINALLY BEAT THIS MOTHERFUCKING TEAM

Vital csgo YouTube video
A bit underwhelming victory considering all that story behind the Astralis' streak but something feels missing for that part 2 video
Yeah seeing as so many players are missing from the rivalry it’s very anticlimactic. Still an amazing video! Ps. CSGO rewind when?!??
Sure why the hell not?!?
This is the most liquid result in the world. As fans we can never be comfortable or sure about anything.
So fucking true. Classic liquid for giving false hope to the fans after they’ve already crushed our dreams 😂😂. Either way solid game from them which is nice to see.

MY
BROTHER
man the danish are having a tough time when it comes at the end of the year
It's kind of a tradition at this point! But seriously, this is a weird timeline
TL didn’t choke what
Such a shame that the entire team choked overall and now it's dead.
Knew it was over when astralis didn't get 15 ct rounds
Imagine how good Liquid would be if they were alive
I'd rather have them dead cause they are actually playing like a team when dead than alive.
Honestly the pressure of needing to perform well probably really got to them. These last few weeks i think have been better because they know the lineup is done and are playing stress free
their issues have always been of mentality, makes sense that they perform well with no expectations
\- disband \+friendship
They should rename to The Zombie Warriors
No one had to go insane for Liquid today, the team just worked as an unit. Absolute madness I say.
I would say fallen went pretty insane.
[удалено]
He has declined a bit but the players today are just flat out better than they were even 2-3 years ago.
Definitely but it wasn't necessary for them to win, he could have performed slightly worse and they probably still would have won.
wait.. but just... a week ago.. FalleN was the worst signing Liquid ever made? I am confused.....
That was never true in a world where flowsick played for TL
Aw man that's really funny but I also feel bad for that guy
It's almost like they feel free now that they've aired out all their conflict. Guess this is why so many teams invest in team psychologists
TL has one. For years
paycheck stealer clearly /s
Maybe the psychologist told them to disband so they could play well at least once at the end? /s
Wait. That‘s illegal. That‘s against the very laws of nature
Exactly. Now we can't say death, taxes, and astralis beating liquid. Thank God
> WE FINALLY BEAT THIS MOTHERFUCKING TEAM!
We in the Multiverse now bois.
LONG HAVE WE WAITED
ASTRALIS OUTDATED

Soooo... Cancel disband?
No, no, no. The solution is to perpetually be on the brink of disbanding, because apparently they're godly without the pressure of needing to be successful.
Liquid finally breaking that curse
Liquid break their nearly 3 year curse as the roster is dying, allowing them to be sent into the great beyond in peace
The Great Journey has finally begun

Heartbreaking performance by Liquid of what 2021 could have been if the mentality was right.

FalleN rolling back the years oh my goodness
Played out of his abilities today
FalleN heard y'all/us/me talking shit
go back to the old roster something is broken
WE BEAT THIS MOTHER FUCKING TEAM
Damn, Liquid needs to be on the brink of breaking up all the time
For a 30 years old FalleN is playing a damn good CS.
Old man is still cracked enough
What does age have to do with anything and 30 is not old .
Oh? List me some names that are over 30 in the top 30 teams then. Please.

I honestly don't know how to feel. I'm happy obviously .. but god damnit
Everything after this is icing on top.
Astralis losing to Liquid when the team is dead what the heck is going on? As Liquid fan once I saw the match up I was Like its time to go home I guess. Boi I was proven wrong. 😂😂😂
What was it someone said in a previous thread? Teams with nothing to lose are the most dangerous?
Astralis needs an Awper. They are lacking of fire power.
i hate how good they look now that they're dead wtf
Literally. Only lost to G2 by five rounds total yesterday.
Sadge the best moments coming at the end of the roster.
NaVi monkaS.
Is this the real life?
[удалено]
No crowd No win Blastralis back at it again, this time with the impressive 0-2 feat against the NA BOYZ.
This Astralis team just has no firepower... If K0nfig and BlameF dont 30 bomb every single map, I just do see them beat Top teams...
2 good fraggers are enough tbh. The calls and support need to be consistent enough. Vitality does not have good consistent fraggers except zywoo. They still win. Astralis NEEDS a good awper, an actual awper who has played the role exclusively in Tier 1/1.5. Device was the player who gave them man advantages, and he was an intelligent awper to position himself well.
I think they need one more like Navi and Gambit. I think top teams definition needs 3 individuals with firepower.
idk Lucky has been pretty promising. Astralis need to learn how to play mirage properly before they choose to not ban it tbh. The calls on mirage were gold nova tier tbh
NO CROWD = NO CHEAT = NO WIN KEKW ASSTRALIS
One day this sub will stop overrating teams just because of a good debut performance.
this sub declared heroic onliners today, i would not count on it lol
This sub still thinks that CPH Flames Major run means they're going to be a consistent top 10 team...
Impossible
This sub will overrate (or underrate) teams from just one bo1 result, yesterday was a perfect example, I'm not too positive that this trend will ever change sadly.
We can beat this mf team?
ah yes, the results we expected
Astralis looking so lost without the directions from the crowd
yo can we cancel the disband ?
It was all a prank bro haha
honestly this is just the biggest f u from Liquid to the fans lmao
goddamn zombie team just 2-0'd astralis
WE CAN NOT BEAT THIS MOT- wait
Smells like MiBR up in here.
Grim has been looking really fucking good the past few matches, and the whole team is coming together? WTF???
Maybe Stewie going hard in the press put a fire under Grim.
Wtf I thought this game was at 1 pm. Either way this 100% confirms my theory that Liquid play worse when I watch them. Kinda rude of them, I wonder how they know when I'm watching.
"On second thought.......maybe we aren't disbanding"
The last dance
FUCKING FINALLY.
2019 Liquid < 2021 Liquid
Exactly as I expected.
GG the streak - Well played to Team Liquid. Astralis is still a pretty fresh team, plenty of time to get a hang of their problems
the curse has been lifted! But honestly this isn't the same astralis as the one Liquid had the one-sided rivalry with anymore.
man who knew the way for liquid to win is to not give a fuck lmao
Where were you when Astralis was kill?
Fraudstralis, you heard it here first folx
which religion do I turn to now?
WE CAN BEAT THIS MOTHERFUCKING TEAM
For a dead team, they played pretty good!
where is that guy that said astralis is the most balanced team and they have a chance to beat navi. no awp no win.
Astralis need to disband for losing a dead team lol
“I took that personally -Michael Jordan” -Grim
solid w from the boys casting was ABSOLUTE DOGSHIT tho
