Astralis is a professional Counter Strike: Global Offensive esports team.

History

Astralis was founded in the January 2016 by members of Team Question Mark after they left Team SoloMid. They have received an investment of several million Danish kroner from Sunstone Capital and the Danish entrepreneur Tommy Ahlers and are incorporating as Astralis ApS. The organization is operated by RFRSH Entertainment, with players owning an undisclosed non-majority amount of equity. When founding member Rene 'cajunb' Borg transferred to Team Dignitas on May 19, 2016, the team stated that he would keep a small portion of his shares in the company, but would no longer have an active role in day-to-day business. On October 19, 2016 it was announced that Astralis had sold Finn 'Karrigan' Andersen to FaZe Clan and on October 24 it was announced that Lukas 'gla1ve' Rossander had joined Astralis for an undisclosed fee.

In February 2018, Emil 'Magisk' Reif joined the team to replace Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye who had left the team at the beginning of the month. This move would be the beginning of a successful period for the team, which saw numerous tournament victories and a return to the top spot in the rankings. Astralis then crowned their era with their second Major title at FACEIT Major: London 2018, quickly beating FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, and Natus Vincere without dropping a single map in the playoffs. A mere 6 days later, they defeated MIBR 2-1 in the grand-final at BLAST Pro Series Istanbul 2018 - after having an undefeated 5-0 group stage - to continue their dominance over the scene.
