Why Astralis are S1mple & ZywOo\u2019s kryptonite | CSGO IEM Global Challenge Review Show Richard Lewis and James \u2018BanKs\u2019 Banks break down all the action from the IEM Global Challenge, the final CSGO event of 2020. Team Liquid was destroyed by champions Astralis, before team member Twistzz announced in the following interview that he had played his last game. Astralis also managed to take down another superstar in Mathieu \u2018ZywOo\u2019 Herbaut \u2013 is 2021 another Astralis year? With Na\u2019Vi falling short, where is it going wrong for Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev\u2019s team of fraggers? With an extremely hopeful, supportive fanbase supporting the esports team, many are crossing their fingers that they can find it in themselves to get back to their A-game. Both s1mple and Denis \u2018electronic\u2019 Sharipov are such fantastic pieces that work like clockwork together in Na\u2019Vi, but some of the other team\u2019s pieces can leave something to be desired. When it comes down to the wire, though, the team just isn\u2019t able to hit their stride when it\u2019s absolutely crucial that they\u2019re doing so. With time going on, s1mple\u2019s esports days are numbered \u2013 he won\u2019t be able to stay at the top of his game forever. This gives opposing teams the chance to take him out, something that\u2019s evidently doable with Astralis\u2019 win. The game ultimately lives and dies with his ability to pull his teammates through a match, and this is why teams like Astralis can sweep through. In comparison, though, we always see Astralis being overlooked by their opponents \u2013 players often expect an easy, breezy win. Perhaps now, though, with the win at the IEM Global Challenge and the lion\u2019s share secured under their belt, people will finally stop and take stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
