Gla1ve has reportedly become the next domino to fall in Counter-Strike\u2019s <\/em>lead-up to CS2<\/em>, according to reports today. In his place, young gun Victor \u201cStaehr\u201d Staehr will be taking the legend spot on the Astralis lineup, alongside several other changes.<\/p>
This move comes after Astralis\u2019 director of sports Kasper Hvidt and analyst HUNDEN<\/a> were dropped from the org earlier this week. Now with Staehr reportedly joining, as per a report from HLTV<\/a>, it seems Astralis is still short a shotcaller.<\/p>
Odds are, we\u2019ll see Benjamin \u201cblameF\u201d Bremer seize the reins of the Danish squad. The rifler previously helmed the \u201cJuggernaught\u201d Complexity line-up, with some noteworthy performances. Under blameF\u2019s leadership, Complexity won one BLAST event in 2020<\/a>, and multiple Home Sweet Home Cups before things went south.<\/p>
Whether blameF will be able to turn the tides and bring Astralis to solid form will be determined once the player break concludes. BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023 begins on July 13. The squad saw an uptick in performance<\/a> after Andreas \u201cXyp9x\u201d H\u00f8jsleth departed the roster in April this year, but it wasn\u2019t enough to save gla1ve from rostermania.<\/p>
As for where gla1ve turns, multiple squads are scrambling to finalize any changes<\/a> before the BLAST June 22, 2023 roster lock. We may find out gla1ve\u2019s next team in due time.<\/p>
Gla1ve captained the Astralis lineup from 2016 all the way up to today and led the roster to four Major titles<\/a>, as well as countless more trophies. The legendary CS <\/em>IGL will go down in the history books alongside his current and former Astralis teammates, but CS2<\/em> won\u2019t see the gla1ve leading the flagship Danish org.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
