Astralis sporting director spoke about the results of the team at the Major

Kasper Hvidt, who is the sports director of the eSports organization Astralis, commented on the results of the team at the last PGL Major Antwerp 2022 in an interview for the Dust2 portal. According to the functionary, everyone recognized the result of the team as unsatisfactory, hoping to see Astralis among the best.

Everyone in the Astralis organization is disappointed with this result. The roster arrived at the Major with the expectation of a good performance, as the team performed well in recent tournaments. I think the result at ESL Pro League Season 15, where we lost 1:2 to a really strong team represented by FURIA, could be considered satisfactory.

I'm pretty sure that the players ran into mental problems when they managed to be one step away from entering the Legends stage. Two factors had a negative impact on the team. First, we lost to Vitality and it was quite painful. And secondly, this side is for the attack in the match with MIBR. We had to play a lot of nervous rounds, where everything depended on the individual actions of players like blameF.

Of course, the team will be able to accept failure at the Major. It is worth noting that it will not be easy, but, of course, we would like to believe in the best. The problem is that we are all human and deal with pressure in different ways. Even if you realize that next time you should focus on your opponent and throw everything superfluous aside, this does not mean that you will succeed, because thoughts about the consequences of defeat cannot be thrown out of your head.

Recall that according to the results of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, the Astralis team took 17-19th place. The next tournament for the Danish team will be IEM Dallas 2022, which starts on May 30th.
