CS2: From rise to fall, how did Astralis end the legend? (Part 2)

In 2020, Astralis barely made it through. Facts proved that the six-man team was not feasible, and the experiment was declared terminated. However, the scene of a strong comeback did not happen to them. Instead of describing it as stars twinkling in the night sky, the situation of this team was like a meteor flying by, falling continuously, and at the last moment, the miracle still did not happen, and they rushed all the way to the ground, defeated.

In 2021, at the BLAST Global Finals, the team lost to NAVI, handed over the championship cup to others, and announced the end of the tournament. The second place should have been worthy of encouragement, but it became the last afterglow. Since then, it has never made it into the top four of the tournament again, and its presence has become lower and lower. Not to mention the players, even the supporters can't stand it. Every time they return in disappointment, it's like a bottomless pit. In the BLAST Spring Tournament in April, they were directly eliminated at the bottom. The fans' patience was exhausted and they lost confidence.

The phenomenon is so bizarre, perhaps it is developing in the wrong direction. No matter how the lineup is changed, the core will collapse. It is meaningless to continue working hard for a team without a future. Device withdrew without warning and joined Ninjas in Pyjamas. In a hurry, Bubzkji was found to fill the vacancy. Signing Lucky to replace him did not help. The general left, and the former combat troops, dupreeh, Magisk, and the meritorious coach zonic found other opportunities and moved to Vitality.

Over the years, they replaced players and rebuilt the team, trying hard to reverse their disadvantage, but bad luck followed them everywhere. The fatal injury was the absence of five consecutive Majors, which sounded the death knell. Everyone knew that Astralis was really finished.
