On November 23rd, 2024, Astralis found themselves just two rounds away from being eliminated from the Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR B before making a much-needed comeback. Astralis had a bad start at the event, losing 2-0 to Sashi on day one in a close 13-11 game on Inferno. Things got even worse in their second game against BB where the latter took the first map and nearly finished things off on the second map. However, Astralis made a crucial comeback, taking the second map and wrapping things up on the final map, surviving to fight another day.

Astralis pulling through

As Astralis pulls through another day at the Europe RMR B, Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller reflected on the team’s performance against BB. “Still a bit tough, definitely not an easy game. They had many good rounds, many good individual plays. We're still in shakey form. With very limited practice with br0, maybe you could expect that, and with higher stakes now, our calmness that we had in practice might not necessarily transfer to official games. But we definitely expected a bit more from the first two games, and a bit today, than what we have shown.”


 

Many were expecting Astralis to crumble due to their last-minute decision to let device withdraw from the tournament over mental health issues and bring br0 back in. However, according to cadiaN, bro hasn’t had too much of a tough time fitting back in: “He's playing all of his usual roles, so for him it's plug and play. Staehr changed a lot, and now he's going back to his old roles. And of course I've been AWPing and IGLing for many years, and I was just getting used to rifling in-game leading positions but now I have to change it up. With the broken elbow still healing, I don't have a lot of time to play individually as well.”

Astralis’s next game is going to be a very tough one as they are set to face off Eternal Fire, the #8 ranked team in the world, but cadiaN is not letting the pressure get to him: “They are in the same position as us. Since the Pro League run, they have been dropping form and looking rough. We beat them in Rio, and we are looking to do that again. There's some different ways the map veto can go, so that's a little bit exciting. But that's one of the teams where if you put yourself in this situation, you expect to draw a team like them, and you have to beat them. I feel confident we can do so.”
