The Counter-Strike calendar is kicking off on all cylinders to start 2021, with 8 of the game\u2019s finest professional teams facing off at BLAST Premier\u2019s Global Finals. Astralis has been dominant as of late, so will anyone be able to take them down? Each and every org in attendance will be looking to kickstart 2021 with success at the BLAST Global Finals starting on January 19, but Astralis is a lot of people\u2019s favorite to walk away with the lion\u2019s share of the $1 million dollar prize pool, and rightfully so. You couldn\u2019t ask for a better in-game leader than Lukas \u2018gla1ve\u2019 Rossander and there\u2019s no question he brings out the best in Peter \u2018dupreeh\u2019 Rasmussen, Nicolai \u2018dev1ce\u2019 Reedtz, and Emil \u2018Magisk\u2019 Reif round after round. One player to keep an eye on though will be Andreas \u2018Xyp9x\u2019 H\u00f8jsleth, who struggled to get his player average above 1.0 before the end of the year and lately hasn\u2019t seemed to be the same crusader of clutch we\u2019ve come to know and expect. While plenty of teams have had a tumultuous few months leading into the new year, the French squad of Vitality has remained stable and could pose a real challenge to the Danes if Mathieu \u2018ZywOo\u2019 Herbaut can provide the spark his team needs.
