It's hard to put into words how grateful I am for the last 7 years I've spent with Astralis. They will always hold a special place in my heart as a team where we were able to reach new heights and create something never seen before. What we achieved and experienced as a team is something I'll never forget. It feels like saying goodbye to a family that has always been there for me, so a big thank you to the fans, the crew working tirelessly behind the scenes, and the teammates I've gone through thick and thin with in Astralis! I've learned a lot of valuable lessons over the last 2 years that I will bring with me into the next part of my journey. I can't wait to share what the next chapter of my career entails, but until then - Thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far
