The current form of Astralis

This year, a Danish team has strategically positioned its current playing style to compete well in smaller tournaments while still making an effort to attend the major international competitions. Among Astralis’s noteworthy accomplishments are their triumphs in the CCT North Europe Series #3 and CCT South Europe Series #4, which enabled them to take home $44,000 in prize money. Astralis failed in the ESL Pro League Season 17, placing 17th–20th. The club won $70,000 at Brazy Party thanks to a silver medal. Benjamin “blameF“ Bremer and his teammates placed 5th–6th at Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023 and 7th–8th at BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023.

In the Gamers8 2023: Last Chance Qualifier, Astralis also took part. They played in two qualifier matches and ended their journey there. The Danes qualified for BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023 and received $17,500 in prize money for placing 4th–6th at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. Additionally, Astralis participated in the 2023 Intel Extreme Masters Cologne. They played well enough to finish in the top four of the rankings. Their players took home $80,000 for placing third through fourth. Astralis also placed third to fourth at Pinnacle Cup V, earning $5,000 in prize money. They placed 13–16th in the ESL Pro League Season 18, so their performance there obviously wasn’t the best.

Astralis competed in the $250,000-prize pool Roobet Cup 2023, an online competition, prior to visiting the forthcoming Asia Championships in China. The European team was drawn to Group C, but it was unable to produce any noticeable outcomes there. The team captained by blameF was defeated 0-2 by 9INE in the first game, and the elimination round was concluded with a loss in a complete best-of-three series against Apeks. Having finished 13–16th in the rankings, Astralis weren’t awarded any prizes.

In their last five games, Astralis had two wins followed by three consecutive defeats.

The current form of Lynn Vision Gaming

The Chinese team Lynn Vision Gaming performs well in the regional arena and most recently advanced to the elite level of international competitions. After failing to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 17, Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023, and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the team’s year began with a silver medal in Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 3: Professional Division, earning its players $8,210.57. It’s noteworthy that Lynn Vision Gaming were just a step away from attending a LAN event at each of the above three qualifiers. Additionally, the team placed second in the Spring 2023 5E Arena Asia Cup.

The Chinese team didn’t receive any prize money for placing 5th or 6th in the Baidu Cup Invitational #2. First place at ESL Challenger League Season 44: Asia-Pacific, which brought LVG $8,000, was the season’s first victory for the organization. The silver medal in Season 45 of the ESL Challenger League: Asia-Pacific earned the players $5,000. Lynn Vision Gaming placed fourth in the Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 4: Professional Division, earning $1,403.19 in prize money. They placed in the top 4 during the online phase to earn a spot in the XSE Pro League 2023 LAN event. Niu “westmelon“ Zhe and his teammates took home $13,872.48 for the convincing victory.

Once more, a 3rd–4th place result at the 5E Arena Asia Cup Fall 2023 kept LVG from participating in a BLAST tournament. The squad earned $16,535.47 and a spot in the CS Asia Championships 2023 by winning the Professional Division of the Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 5 competition. The journey to the ESL Pro League Season 18 proved fruitless, as Lynn Vision Gaming claimed the 21st–28th position and received a $8,000 consolation prize.

Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023 was Lynn Vision Gaming’s last professional competition before the Asia Championships 2023. The Chinese won the Asian qualifications, which allowed them to travel to Australia. LVG were assigned to Group B by the draw. They dropped to the lower bracket after losing to ENCE on the Anubis card there. Lynn Vision Gaming was then defeated 0-2 in the LB quarterfinal matchup against Cloud9. As a result, they earned $4,000 and placed 13–16th overall.

In the last five matches, Lynn Vision Gaming achieved all wins, including a technical win over Clutch Gaming.
