CSGO after the Astralis era | Richard Lewis reacts at ESL Pro League If Astralis\u2019s era of dominance in CSGO is over, what can fans look forward to next? The greatest core to ever touch the game has been competing at the top for four years, but all things must come to an end. Richard Lewis says that it\u2019s time to accept the reality of the situation, and for CSGO fans to begin to imagine a future without Astralis on top. Back at the ESL Quarter Finals, Astralis took on FURIA and lost. FURIA, to Lewis, is a \u201chit and miss team,\u201d calling them streaky, yet they emerged with a 2-0 against the previous top dogs. Taking them down with a 16-2 on Train, he adds that it was an \u201cunbelievable scoreline.\u201d Though the fall of Astralis wasn\u2019t a surprise to Richard \u2014 believing that it had to happen after four years at the top \u2014 they\u2019ve done so much with their success to modernize the game.

Losing to NiP there, and ultimately being knocked out by BIG, they followed that up by finishing 5-6th at IEM Katowice. This is when a power shift within the scene began to emerge, and in the past couple of series, Lewis believes that they\u2019ve lost their relevance, competitively, against their opposition. Astralis\u2019 untouchable aura has broken down, and where they go next at Spring Showdown and beyond is anyone\u2019s guess.
