CS2: Is Astralis on the verge of being sold or closed?

The e-sports industry is highly competitive, with major clubs fighting tooth and nail for championships and prize money. Winning fame and making history are certainly good things, but the ability to continue operating is the biggest challenge. In the final analysis, the business model is the severe reality facing the industry. Everyone wants to get involved and get a piece of the pie, but they don't quite understand how to do it. In the age of traffic, no one supports, no one invests, and you will eventually come to an end, even though you are a famous team.

Jonas Gundersen, former COO of Ninjas in Pyjamas, is reportedly interested in buying the entire Astralis organization. The news is not groundless, as even HLTV has confirmed that the team is actively looking for a buyer in the CS division. In addition, Astralis has not qualified for a Major for five consecutive years, causing the club to lose income from sticker sales.

Not only that, in an HLTV Confirmed program, Striker said that Astralis missed three Majors, and the loss was nearly 3 million to 4 million US dollars. Whether it is the performance of the event or the business operation, it is not satisfactory. Over time, the status is on the verge of being sold or closed down.

The progress of the transaction is yet to be confirmed. It is rumored that the sale price of Astralis Club is about 2 to 3 million US dollars. Fans can only accept the bankruptcy or sale. The team's next round of competition will be the PGL Astana event from May 10 to 18. The good times will not last long, so everyone should cherish their chance to play.
