Device to NIP

The first transfer that Pimp mentioned was the transfer of a dev1ce from Astralis to NIP. This transfer came as a shock to many fans, because until then, the core of Astralis had remained together despite the breaks in the game of individual players. However, unfortunately, due to the medical problems of the device, this transfer did not bring the expected results for NIP.

"This transition was the first real breakup of the Astralis core. It was a big blow to the Danish scene and many fans still remember that moment, “ comments Pimp.

Ropz in FaZe

According to Pimp, one of the most successful transfers was the transition of ropz to FaZe Clan. This transfer helped FaZe to win the Intel Grand Slam, as well as to win such tournaments as IEM Katowice 2022, IEM Cologne 2022 and PGL Major Antwerp.

"For me, this transfer was the most obvious decision. ropz was one of the best referees in the world, and his move to FaZe helped the team become the strongest in its history, ” Pimp said.

Kjaerbye to North

The most controversial transfer was Kjaerbye  move to North. After he was recognized as the MVP of Major Atlanta 2017, his decision to leave Astralis shocked everyone, especially after Astralis found a replacement in Magisk and won three majors in a row.

"This transfer will be remembered as one of the most mysterious and possibly the most unfortunate in Counter-Strike history, ” Pimp said.
