unironically maybe? Astralis spent a lot of time choking in semifinals before they became the goats of CS.

all it took was one roster move...
displayed_ [#14]T1 got s1mple???
s1mple is great but you could argue that he isn't even the goat of the counter-strike franchise, let alone esports
capital_d_colon [#15]all it took was one roster move...
they need to pick k1ng and get rid of zest and rb first (maybe buzz too)
+foxy9 +k1ng +Lakia

well it was more like 3, -karrigan -cajunb +gla1ve +kjaerbye. and then -kjaerbye +magisk but they truly stopped choking in 2017, not 2018

yeah you are probably right.
they were actually winning events with kjaerbye.
the results with karrigan were more on the same level as drx
though the -kjaerbye +magisk created the astralis era.
NightBeam [#18]they need to pick k1ng and get rid of zest and rb first (maybe buzz too)
+foxy9 +k1ng +Lakia
k1ng and lakia are good but they werent as good when they were at this roster, their playstyle is too different tbh.

Oh I meant like they had a 100 game winstreak

theres no way geng are selling k1ng
wanted [#25]DRX/VS in Korea, in the beginning of valo, was it fr. But as far as international events go, I could see Loud & Navi as two contenders.
Why do you guys always mention NAVI? Fnatic seem more of a fit than them

Why csgo Case bit expensiv now
chinese collectors and case openers being more consumptive

OKAY YOU SMOKING DICK
easily the GOAT of FPS
gamr [#40]f0rest
my man living in 2012. s1mple by far the goat of csgo. However he's no where near the level faker is with being the most recognisable esports player.

Saying it could be argued that s1mple isn't the goat of cs, but forest instead?
I agree that s1mple isn't close to being the goat of esports. That part with faker was in agreement with you. However it can't be argued with cs. No player has ever been as consistent and dominant as he has. Some have had the same peaks, but never the same consistency.

I said CS as a whole, not just csgo. f0rest has had unmatched longevity in the counter-strike franchise. s1mple still has some time to go before he beats f0rest in that regard

-KJAERBYE +MAGISK ==== -ZEST +FOXY9 effect

If we're going with just longevity, being a journeyman for the past 6years shouldn't really be included in it . Going from playing 1.6 for years, into a solid career in t1/2 CS is amazing. It's something not many people have done, as most of either retired, or went into coaching.
I'd also argue that NEO would be argued as more of the best CS player of all time.
However I feel we'll just fall into the routine of arguing who was better their peak, etc.
Imo, s1mple is the greatest individual player to touch CS. as a single player, he's hit peaks no other player has. 7 Years in top10 players, 6years in top5, and 5 consecutive years in top2.
forest is by far one of the greatest players to touch the game. I just dont believe he is the greatest. I'd say Neo edges over him for contention for the best.
zardinez [#6]Happened in league tho kinda
that was like 10 years ago, modern league will never have an era
acels2 [#51]that was like 10 years ago, modern league will never have an era
Yep, even if its a superstar roster they will have some champs thats meta that they aren't the best at and a smart opp can totally exploit it.
