Astralis\u2019 Magisk reveals identities of shirtless stage crashers at CSGO Berlin Major StarLadderFollowing Astralis\u2019 victory at the StarLadder CS:GO Berlin Major 2019, Emil \u2018Magisk\u2019 Reif spoke to Frankie Ward and Dexerto about the victory, and revealed the identity of the gentlemen who stormed the stage. The 2019 Berlin Major saw Astralis reach their third consecutive Grand Final at a Major, and the only team that stood between them and further glory was the Kazakh side AVANGAR. Wanting to get to their victory ceremony as quickly as possible, the Danish powerhouse took down AVANGAR in dominant 2-0 fashion. However, following the victory, the players weren\u2019t alone as they celebrated on stage, as the Dexerto crew caught a couple of fans getting wild alongside the booth. The fans banged on the booth glass and fell over, much to the delight of the victorious players inside.

Magisk acknowledged that preparation was key to to a dominant defeat, which echoed what gla1ve told Frankie and Dexerto the day prior. \u201cWe had a pretty good idea of how we should play the T side [of Inferno] against them, we found a lot of tendencies of how we could punish them.\u201d Magisk also gave credit to their slow play approach they used on the second map on Dust 2. He said the key was to slow down AVANGAR\u2019s pushed into site by using lots of utility early in the round, which mimics the approach Astralis used against NRG Esports in their Train rematch in the semifinals. The third straight major championship coincides with a special date, Nicolai \u2018dev1ce\u2019 Reedtz\u2019s 24th birthday, and Magisk tells Frankie that he went above and beyond to get him a gift. \u201cI set [dev1ce] up so that he could get MVP on his birthday, so I would say that\u2019s a pretty good birthday present,\u201d the 21-year-old rifler told Frankie. \u201cI\u2019m really happy. It\u2019s been a long time since we actually won something, so it\u2019s a nice feeling to finally win.\u201d Counter-Strike and Astralis fans can be happy too, as magisk hinted that fans will see more of the Danes in the future, after they had skipped some big tournaments over the past few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
