farlig joined Astralis

The Danish esports organization Astralis has announced changes to its CS:GO roster by signing farlig. The 22-year-old Danish sniper will replace Lucky, whose game has long been dissatisfied with the community.

Kasper Hvidt, sporting director of Astralis:

We have a good mix of skill, experience, talent and a strong mindset, but despite progress, there are still elements in our game and team dynamics that we put too much energy into. This applies to preparation and during matches, and it continues to be worth the attention and continuity in our work.

Our head coach, Ave, worked with the players to make it work and it became clear what was needed in the team and we decided to speed up the process by bringing in an experienced, aggressive player with a lot of firepower who can make a difference from day one. So I am glad that we have reached an agreement with farlig, who immediately joins us as a new sniper.

Asger has many of the qualities we need in a team: he's an aggressive striker who isn't afraid to jump in and take the initiative. He creates space for his teammates and at the same time contributes to the team dynamics by being the person he is.

farlig spent last season with FunPlus Phoenix, with whom he won Snow Sweet Snow #1, and also made it to the top three at DreamHack Open January 2021: Europe and Fantasyexpo EU Champions Fall 2021. However, after an unsuccessful end to the season, the organization disbanded the roster, while while the 22-year-old Dane became a free agent a few months later.

In turn, Lucky has been playing for Astralis since August last year. During this time, the young sniper helped the team take third place in BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2021. However, the figure of Lucky caused extremely conflicting feelings among the fans of the Danish team, who criticized the player for a weak game with AWP.

The nearest tournament for the updated Astralis roster will be ESL Pro League Season 15, which will be held from March 9 to April 10 in Germany.

From now on, the Astralis roster looks like this:

• Xyp9x.
• gla1ve.
• k0nfig.
• blameF.
• farlig.
• ave (coach).
• Lucky (inactive).
