k0nfig leaves Astralis CS:GO roster

Danish esports organization Astralis has announced their parting ways with k0nfig. According to rumors, the club made such a decision after a fight that happened in one of the nightclubs in Malta during the ESL Pro League Season 16. However, the official announcement informs about personal circumstances that prompted them to come to a mutual separation.

k0nfig is having a hard time with issues he doesn't want to discuss publicly; we fully respect it. This affected his ability to contribute to the team and we had ongoing and constructive discussions with Christian, who needs time to focus on his personal life.

Together we explored different options, and while no one knows where things will be in three or six months, right now it's all about giving Christian space and time without the constant pressure of coming back and playing. So we came to an agreement to terminate his contract.

These are not the best days for everyone involved, but we agree that this is the right thing to do. Thanks to his energy and positive attitude, Christian has made a great contribution to the team, both on and off the server, and it's no secret that everyone in Astralis enjoyed his presence.

k0nfig became part of Astralis at the end of last year when he moved out of the Complexity camp. In eleven months, the 25-year-old Dane helped the team get into the TOP-3 at BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2021, BLAST Premier: Spring European Showdown 2022, Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, Roobet Cup 2022 and Intel Extreme Masters XVII - Cologne.

However, due to an injury, the esportsman was forced to miss IEM Road to Rio 2022: European RMR A, which turned out to be a failure for Astralis and missed the major.

It is unclear who will be Astralis' fifth player as the organization has not revealed its plans. The return of device cannot be ruled out, but then the club will still have to look for a suitable rifler. The next championship for the Danish team will be BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2022, which will start in a week.
