"The Fault in our Stars" was really about four guys getting carried by one dude, who decides to go carry some other dudes instead at the end, leaving the quartet in shambles. Oh and Bubzkji.
We're starting to wonder if those comments by device about the Astralis being "lucky with the meta" might not be such a crazy idea after all. You know what they say, every broadly exaggerated fact after a tough split-up contains a kernel of truth. Great, now we want popcorn.
You should grab some as well, because with Astralis' fateful loss to G2 at DreamHack Masters Spring - putting them at fifth/sixth place - they might just be at a crossroad for the roster.
Either they pull through and manage to get things back on track without their old and trusty AWPer, or they continue to lose to teams like the broken Colossus Complexity, or ex-wannabe Astralis, Heroic.
Speaking of the best team in Denmark, Heroic have been good, but not good enough to cement themselves as the best team in the world. They stand on a similar crossroad as Astralis, but their path there is completely different. They could be the best, but they have to prove it.
A good way to do that is to have a strong showing in the group stage. Convincingly take out an underdog or two, like paiN for example. What helps too is beating a former rival, with the Astralis matchup we talked about a little earlier. So far, so good.
What doesn't help is losing your playoff winning streak so damn close to the final. That's like tripping right before the finish line, it sucks. Admittedly, it is against the team with a reinvigorated s1mple, who would go on to smash their opposition in said final, but still. If you had the choice between a pat on the back and a trophy...
In short, Denmark's scene is characterized by two teams whose fate will be decided in the upcoming weeks and months. So keep watching folks.
