    This is honestly insane. They played 17 tournaments this year, got into 12 finals and won 10 of them. Most analysts and professionals are all agreeing that this is unprecedented in Counter-strike...

    BLAST Pro Series Lisbon is Astralis’ 10th successful title run of the year. Their previous championships were won at DreamHack Masters Marseille, the EPL Season Seven Finals, the ECS Season Five Finals, the ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier, the FACEIT London Major, BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, IEM Chicago, the ECS Season Six Finals, and the EPL Season Eight Finals.

    This is honestly insane. They played 17 tournaments this year, got into 12 finals and won 10 of them. Most analysts and professionals are all agreeing that this is unprecedented in Counter-strike history, and the level of these guys is higher than any team before them. I'm by no means a nationalist but I can't help being a little proud of my countrymen :)

    Astralis were, without a doubt, the best CS:GO team in the world in 2018.

    When you lose only 1 map (out of 8 played) in an entire tournament, yeah, no doubt!

    This article is a bit better than the one I linked, not in English though.
