Staehr set for Astralis move in 2024, earlier transfer possible

More changes are on the horizon for Astralis, as they have locked in a key player they have been after for the better part of a year.

Astralis has completed the signing of Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr from the beginning of 2024, multiple sources have revealed to HLTV.org.

The 18-year-old player is currently contracted to Sprout until the end of 2023. An earlier transfer to the Danish organization is possible, but the two sides have not yet agreed on the buyout amount.

Staehr is set to become an Astralis player before the 2024 season begins

It is unclear whom Staehr will replace. The long-term status of their latest addition, Alexander "⁠Altekz⁠" Givskov, is currently unknown after the organization brought the 19-year-old into the main squad from Astralis Talent "for the coming weeks" while Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth went the other way in mid-April. Astralis have found success with this setup, placing second at Brazy Party, winning CCT South Europe Series 4, and making it to the playoffs at the ongoing IEM Dallas.

Astralis have been after Staehr for some time. The organization had its eyes set on the 18-year-old up-and-comer already in October last year, when it was trying to find a replacement for Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke, but was unable to come to an agreement with Sprout.

In his year and a half with the German organization, Staehr has been touted as one of the best Danish talents without a seat in a tier-one team. As one of the more aggressive players of several iterations of Sprout he has averaged a 1.10 rating and a 1.14 impact rating since joining the team in early 2022.

Upon being contacted by HLTV.org, Sprout, Astralis, and Staehr did not wish to comment.

i think its a 50/50 twitter.com/CsLeaks/status/1664231297101.. this guy got some right leaks and some wrong ones. but it would be pretty weird to make up something like -2nd best player in the team for no reason
2023-06-02 00:48
exactly like it was a great move back when we added konfig or when he got kicked, but not now when we are actually playing decent and better and better
2023-06-01 16:43
Might be good for Buzz to be in academy team with xyp there now, they are already doing really well, so Buzz moving back isn't the worst idea.

+staehr -buzz buzz can back to academy to replace xyp after his contract expired need 1 more star to replace blameF, so Astralis have more good teamwork altekz can stay, he is very promising, just need a little more experience

that would make Astralis top 5 team for sure

2023-06-01 16:55
It'll be interesting to see. Rumors in the danish counter strike scene has it, that it's Blame or maybe even Glaive who will be replaced. It all stems from a tweet from Bubzkji and the following discussion: twitter.com/Bubzkji/status/1664232636825.. Since his retirement Bubzkji has been an expert commentator on danish television, and he is highly praised in that role. As he writes: "Current CT sides Staehr Plays: Vertigo = A Site Mirage = Connector Ancient = Cave Inferno = B Overpass = A BlameF plays 4/5, and Gla1ve 1/5 (Ancient). On T side it differs a little bit, but would be a huge gamble to sign a player. And put him in different roles on ALL maps" As far as I know both Blame and Glaive's contracts are expiring in 2024. Glaive has already been clear about his desire to coach after his playing career, but it's probably not now already. Nevertheless it's two highly profiled players with soon expiring contracts, which asks the question on whether they could be on the way out as Staehr comes in.

It will be between Buzz and Altekz. I'd feel bad for both of them, because Buzz was doing better lately and Altekz didn't have much time. Both showed some promsing moments. Role wise it would make sense that Buzz goes as Staehr is really aggressive and the entry Astralis desperately needs. It would take Buzz some time again to fill in the new support role and new positions. Staehr will also need time as he won't get all positions he had in Sprout.

Buzz is quite literally only on this team because signing staer fell through. Altekz is a xyp replacement and is safe. Glaive also isn't underperforming for an igl individually, he's better than apex hooxi karrigan snappi, pretty much all the top igls as a fragger so unless you think blamef is a better igl, he's safe.

I know bro I was just joking Understood it was sarcasm but my message was to bé taken un the sense of '' even them, as bad as they are, wouldn't be dumb enough to do that unless they can't or won't pay tha aforementionned player '' But you are right they did so many WTF moves and fell short of understanding obvious things so many Times ( Not willing to pay a few hundred K euros buyouts, but that cost them millions in the end because they didn't qualify for majors and didn't get stickers money ) that clearly, anything can happen.

Wait, he haven't signed yet. Sprout probably ask like 100k and astralis is greedy as fuck. Imagine swapping farlig for him. Ppl blame Sprout, I blame Astralis to be horrible at scouting and affraid to pay for a winning team. Sprout main goal is to recruit, build and sell talents.

2023-06-01 14:45
2 replies
Xellow is the worst awper that you can get. There are plenty of better awpers than Farlig. Sure, money-wise, it's better to wait, but honestly, Astralis always waste times for nothing. I hope a team will pay the buy-out for stahr just for the memes. Then, try to sell it back to astralis. The management is horrible. Their pr is so fake. I like the players, but org lost so much money with stupid decision. 1 qualifier to the playoff in 2 years. 2 times in a row they didn't qualify for the major. Sprout did better with 1/10 of the budget. Astralis is basically the EG of EU. Their fans are loyals, but the org is relying on the past primes. If the old core hadn't won anything, the org would probably be dead by now.

It looks like they didn't see the opportunity cost of not having the best lineup asap up until they missed Rio thanks to kOnfig... Not spending a few hundred k's just because they were cheap AF ( thanks to investing in a stupid multigaming team ) litterally cost them millions in stickers money. One would think they would have learned their lesson faster, but no, they again missed Paris Major WTF
2023-06-01 15:11
Astralis tried many times buying from sprout. Ence wanted yo buy launx too. Sprout is just hard to buy from. Astralis aren't being cheap.

how is this his fault ? A good team is made by getting good players for each role.They didn t had those options so they only got whomever they could.Blamef is a top 20 player and he s playing his role perfectly, what they should do is try to get aggresive players not kicking the second best player of the team.What astralis lacked since their downfall and the reason they didn t manage to do anything was because of the firepower, so if you think that kicking a top 20 player (even as passive as he is or whatever you want) is a good idea when they clearly don t have any option at all (if they had a market full of good danish players maybe i would agree) you are totally delusional.

yes, but they had the biggest firepower ever back then.When you have 4 top 20 players, all best at their roles and able to take initiative and do what needs to be done ofc you can play like that + that was a different meta lol, you can t play like that anymore.

Getting replaced in heartbeat and being told you are getting replaced half year from now while still being woth the team is huge difference, how motivated is this player gonna be lol? Ofc replace someone instantly by better player and develop team with new squad is acceptable, but being stuck half year with dead line-up and making it public is just retarded. Imagine you boss comes to you tomorrow and tells you, you are getting replaced by someone by the start of 2024…. I would really like to see your work ethic.

...or maybe it could intensify the competition between the players in the danger zone, read buzz and altekz, to raise their level. Right now we are only guessing who staehr is going to replace. and a lot of things can happen in 6 months in cs. maybe staehr wont be the only roster change. we dont know what goes on behind the scenes in a pro cs-org. but calling the org trash or shady is uncalled for. btw. none of the orgs have confirmed the transfer yet.

Why would it upset them to sign HUNDEN? He fucked up, twice, but he is still an excellent analyst, and a damn good at teaching "basics" to new pro's. Something he has done for an eternity. Don't forget that he has known gla1ve for 12+ years, bringing him into his team when gla1ve was just a 14 years old kid, instantly recognizing his tactical prowess. History often explains stuff you don't understand on the surface.
