Counter Strike 2: Astralis reportedly will be parting ways with its ace rifler Magisk..

Dust2 exclusively reported on Wednesday that Danish Counter Strike 2 club Astralis may be parting ways with their ace rifler, Magisk.

According to the report, Astralis is deeply dissatisfied with the team crashing out of StarLadder Budapest Major Stage 2 despite successfully acquiring Magisk, leading to plans for another major roster overhaul.

Besides Magisk, stavn, who has been benched since September due to health reasons, is also among the players Astralis is expected to release.

However, Danish fans are unhappy with the news that Magisk and stavn will be potentially parting ways with Astralis.

The report adds that many Danish fans believe Astralis's poor performances in recent years seems to stem from systemic problems within the organization rather than isolated issues with players and the coaching staff.

Furthermore, with ace AWp-er dev1ce recently rumoured to be joining 100 Thieves, many fans are worried about Astralis's future.

If the leaks are expose, Astralis' core roster will be:

Rifler: Staehr

Rifler: stabbi

In-Game Leader/Entry Fragger: HooXi

Head Coach: ruggah

After a disappointing 2025 season, Astralis will face their first major Counter Strike 2 tournament of the year after the off-season.

They will participate in BLAST Bounty Season 1 on January 13th. Astralis will undoubtedly be giving it their all to avenge their previous defeats and recapture the glory of their numerous championship wins in 2018 and 2019.
