Astralis CS GO Atlanta 2017 Champion!

  • 247

After losing most of the rounds in the begining, Astralis managed to make an amazing comeback on Virtus.Pro, basically they started winning about round 19 in the game when they managed to win most of the final rounds by rushing B site and eliminating all of the Virtus.Pro players so they would stick to guns insted of rifles.

Here are some screenshots!

It's "Astralis", not "Australis".

But yes, if VP won, it would've been the first major win for them ever since the 2014 katowice.

But unfortunately Virtus Pro, after a flawless adventure they had in this major by beating every team without taking any losses, they had a pretty considerable advantage on the last map and they choked, thus making Astralis capitalize on their mistake and made them win their first ever major.

Sk won the last 2 majors, one under their first name as luminosity, then the next as the current name, SK. They were constantly in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places on the tournaments prior to this major, i'm looking forward on them in the future.

I'm also looking forward for VP, they recently are starting to rise up again and if they wouldn't lose against SK last major, they would've probably won against liquid.

It also brought into light the North member Magisk, who made history by having the highest kill count on a half in a match, where at one point he had more kills himself than the whole VP team they were against. His back broke though and his team still lost against VP.

Thanks for the typo, corrected :)

And yes Magisk was amazing also, I hope to hear more from him.

Was watching it live, intense matches. Well deserved. Even though I was cheering for virtus pro.
