The Astralis organization is reportedly very interested in offering banned CS:GO<\/em> coach Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen an analyst role in the future following the expiration of his current coaching ban from the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC), according to a report by Dexerto’s Richard Lewis<\/a>.<\/p>
According to the report, the work HUNDEN is purportedly doing with the organization would be prohibited by the conditions of his two-year coaching ban from ESIC. In 2021, ESIC handed HUNDEN a two-year ban<\/a> for leaking “anti-strat material” to Astralis while he still coaching Heroic, with a reported move to Astralis on the horizon. HUNDEN had previously served an eight-month suspension<\/a> for his use of the in-game spectator coaching bug.<\/p>
One of the sources that spoke to Dexerto <\/em>claimed that HUNDEN has been working with Astralis to help create tools and video lessons for the organization’s partnership with Aim Lab<\/a>. Astralis confirmed that HUNDEN was working with the organization in regard to the Aim Lab project as a temporary contractor but denied that he was currently working with the team in any coaching or analytical role.<\/p>
