Some CS:GO fans think Astralis’ blameF is ‘too passive’—but stats prove otherwise

There’s a perception in the CS:GO community that Astralis’ rifler blameF only has great stats because he baits his teammates by playing overly passive. This theory is repeated over and over in almost every Astralis post on Reddit, regardless of whether it is about blameF or not.

“[BlameF is] too passive, a bit of a bait here and there, saving way too often, not taking risks unless he’s been pressured to do so, he sometimes doesn’t even trade his teammates properly,” one fan wrote on Reddit on June 1, in a post discussing Astralis reportedly signing Victor Staerh from Sprout. “I just can’t watch this blameF baiting game man, come on is there no other tactics,” another fan wrote on Reddit in May.
