CS:GO devs respond to Karrigan\u2019s appeal to nerf Astralis ELEAGUE\/BLAST ProMousesports in-game leader Finn Counter-Strike: Global offensive event. The Danish squad, once again, swept to BLAST Pro Series glory as they comfortably secured the Sao Paulo event on March 23 without a single defeat. They bested Team Liquid by a 2-1 scoreline in the grand finals, completing the reverse sweep with a 16-2 third-map win \u2013 despite losing a close 16-13 battle on Dust II to start the series. With 12 trophies secured from LAN events in the past year, the reign of dominance has begun to wear on some fans and players, including Mouseports\u2019 Finn \u2018Karrigan\u2019 Andersen who is seeking intervention from the highest power in the CS:GO world \u2013 Valve. The former FaZe Clan in-game leader jokingly asked the CS:GO developers via Twitter to bring the dominant Danes down a notch. Karrigan tweeted: \u201c@csgo_dev can you nerf @astralisgg somehow? Maybe removing utility or something, just to see if it changes anything.\u201d It took a few hours, but Karrigan got his response. \u201cTry this: sv_allow_astralis_utility 0,\u201d read the reply, making reference to a possible in-game command that would take utility away from Astralis. With the CS:GO devs discussing their success, members of the Astralis squad weighed in. Both Lukas \u2018gla1ve\u2019 Rossander and Emil \u2018Mag1sk\u2019 Reif responded with gifs of their squad celebrating \u2013 clearly poking fun at Karrigan\u2019s request. Sadly, for CS:GO teams, however, the command was purely a joke as typing it into the game\u2019s console would bring up an error \u2013 so there\u2019s no way it\u2019ll work at Astralis\u2019 next event, which they\u2019d probably win regardless. Both Vega Squadron and PRO100 tried to get in on the act by responding with joking tweets of their own about how the command didn\u2019t work for them. Astralis\u2019 reign of dominance does not look like it\u2019ll slow down any time soon as they continue to pick up tournament win after tournament win. While it\u2019s close to impossible that Valve would impose rule changes based solely on how good the Danes perform, their constant updates to the game may change the competitive meta \u2013 and it\u2019s up to teams to improve in their bids to bring down Astralis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
