The Greatest of all time Astralis:

The Danish Supergiants Astralis has been cited as one of the greatest teams of all time, with the organization bagging a record four CSGO Major titles and being the undeniable kings of CS:GO in 2018-2019.

The core roster of devices, dupreeh, Gla1lve, and Xyp9x, were together from October 2016 and since have managed to accumulate multiple accolades and have become the top earning players, with Dupreeh recently crossing the $2000000 mark in earnings.

The roster, though, parted ways when Device decided to join Ninjas in Pyjamas, followed by Dupreeh, Magisk, and Coach Zonic joining Vitality.

With major holes to be filled, Astralis signed Awper Lucky as a replacement for dev1ce, then BlameF and k0nfig were added to round out the roster.
