Astralis are not off to a good start in ESL Pro League season 17‘s Group D in Malta. The all-Danish CS:GO squad featuring Major champions in dev1ce, gla1ve, and Xyp9x were swept 2-0 today by Team Spirit in the opening round of their group.
The Danes didn’t do much on their T-side on Ancient, the first map of the series, and as commentator Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill alluded to, it’s because they didn’t come close to getting any map control. Spirit dominantly took them down 13-2 on the CT-side and ran away with an easy 16-4 victory after switching sides. The CIS squad kept their momentum up when the action switched to Mirage and secured an 11-4 advantage after the first half playing as Terrorists. Astralis did come to life in the second half but couldn’t finish the comeback and force the series to a third map. Spirit held their ground on the CT-side and won 16-11.
