AGF Esport closes CS:GO division

The Danish esports organization AGF Esport has decided to close the CS:GO division. The project is scheduled to close by the end of summer 2022. The decision to leave the discipline was made on the basis that the future does not look economically sustainable for the organization.

After four good seasons, we have to report that the development of our esports direction has not brought the fruits we expected, and therefore does not have sufficient commercial interest. AGF Esport has always been financially sound, but now we can see a future that looks economically uncertain, and there is no indication that anything will change for the better. Therefore, we are preparing to exit the game.

Recall that AGF Esport presented its first CS:GO roster at the beginning of 2018. The best achievement of the club is the victory at Dust2.dk Ligaen Season 14, as well as getting into the top three at LOOT.BET/CS Season 7 and DreamHack Open November 2020.

In addition to good sports results, we have also had success with a talent development philosophy where a number of players are sold to other esports organizations. However, we now assess that the industry is not sustainable in the long term. The food chain is about to get too small and bigger tournaments like the eSuperligaen are also in question. Therefore, after a comprehensive assessment, we believe that now we need to take the most responsible approach to our activities.

Some well-known esportsmen have passed through the structure of AGF Esport, including TMB, HooXi, cajunb and kristou.

We must say a big thank you to the co-owner and our sponsor Systematic for their belief in the project from the very beginning, as well as to our other sponsors and partners who supported us. We also want to say thank you to our coaches and players who have represented AGF and achieved great results.

Note that at the beginning of 2022, the Danish organization made a change of course, focusing on the development of young players. However, this move did not produce the desired results, as the team failed to achieve great success at the regional level.

The latest AGF Esport CS:GO roster is as follows:
