Hvidt has served as Astralis' sports director for six years, since 2017. During this period, the CS:GO team became the best in history, and also had a fundamental influence on the formation of professional eSports in Denmark.
In Astralis, we must always have ambitions to be the best. Players, fans and partners must go into every tournament with the feeling that we can win, but this has not been the case for too long and today we take the consequence. It is never easy to say goodbye to a very skilled and competent colleague, but the time has come for us to try something new.
Kasper is almost an institution, not just in Astralis but in professional esports. His ideas about the approach to a professional performance culture have definitely had an impact on the teams' historical performance and results, and today, many of the methods are almost industry standards. Together with the players and staff, Kasper will always be remembered as one of those who helped create the first Astralis era, and we owe him the greatest thanks for his efforts. I hope that this is recognized by all, says Hørsholt.Anders Hørsholt, CEO of Astralis
HUNDEN's leaving
In addition to Kasper Hvidt, the contract of HUNDEN's chief analyst has been terminated. Petersen, who was so wanted at Astralis, left the club just six months after joining.
I would like to thank all those who have helped make the Astralis journey unforgettable. It's rare to be part of something that affects an entire culture and generation like we've managed to do, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds.Kasper Hvidt
