If you ask a random CS:GO spectator what team is the best in the world right now, chances will be high that they’ll respond with “Astralis of course!”.

Even though it’s easy nowadays for eSports betting fans to make their picks, this wasn’t always the case (when it comes to Astralis).

When they first started playing eSports, they weren’t nearly as good as they are. Here’s a brief look into their history!

2016 Season

Astralis’ first season was a bleak one. A couple of good finishes but mostly ending up from positions 5 to 8. At the end of the year, however, things started to change. People finally saw the real Astralis; one that would go on to lead the way in just 2 years time.

2017 Season

After winning the eSports Championship Series Season 2 by beating OpTic Gaming, Astralis went on to win the eLeague Major: Atlanta 2017 and IEM XI – World Championship. Unfortunately this streak wouldn’t last. It would take until 2018 for them to absolutely explode.
