Altekz set to join Astralis Talent

12-3-2021 15:53

The 17-year-old will complete the move to the academy squad next month.

Astralis have announced that they have reached an agreement with MASONIC for the signing of Alexander "⁠Altekz⁠" Givskov for an undisclosed fee. The transfer will be concluded on April 1, when the 17-year-old will join the organisation's academy team, Astralis Talent.

Altekz has been one of the standout performers for MASONIC, who are currently in fifth place in the Elgiganten Ligaen with a 14-8 record. He is averaging a 1.11 rating in the league, the joint-highest in the team, and a 1.20 kill/death ratio.

Altekz is a "a rare, natural in-game leader", according to vnG

Altekz will fill the slot that will be left vacant by the departure of Mathias "⁠R0nic⁠" Pinholt, who has struggled to make his mark with Astralis Talent. Dennis "⁠vnG⁠" Vang, Astralis' Head of Talent, believes that the 20-year-old "will have a better chance in another set-up" and that he "will flourish in the right context."

"Alexander will join us in three weeks, and my focus right now is our upcoming bootcamp and matches, and I want the players to keep that focus as well," vnG added. "What I can say, though, is that we see Alexander as a rare, natural in-game leader who is also delivering in his present role as a support player, and I look forward to working with him when that time comes."

Meanwhile, Astralis have reiterated their intention to build a six-man roster for the academy squad, which will be joined by Mikkel "MistR" Thomsen in the summer, as announced by the organisation in December.

With Altekz's addition, Astralis Talent will have:

Andreas "⁠Void⁠" Dietrichsen
Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss
Mads "⁠vester⁠" Vestergaard
Victor "⁠vigg0⁠" Bisgaard
Alexander "⁠Altekz⁠" Givskov

Mikkel “MistR” Thomsen (begins Summer 2021)

very cool

First of all... they're scouting for talents that arent seen in DK. Furthermore they want them young so they can form them and learn them the Astralis way. They're not going to change roster alle the time. Some of these young men will hopefully be the future for Astralis. ofc not all of them ;)

2021-03-12 17:01

Also my first thought. Maybe gla1ve will go to coach role at some point and help develop these talents

2021-03-12 21:21

Zyphon top 1 2024

Still trash, but okay I guess

2021-03-12 15:56

His eyes are slightly unnerving like he's perennially gazing into my soul. Good luck soul gazing man!

Unlucko rating

Bubzkji join Astralis Talent

2021-03-12 16:00

The heir and successor to the throne that will be left vacant by Glaive.

everybody writes 0.49 rating but counter strike all about team play,if your team play bad as a team you play bad ,if you want to make a good stats with a bad team ,you should bait your teammates, example;ScreaM has so good stats but as a team member he sucks and so stupid.So ratings doesnt make you best or worst.Counter strike all about strategy dont fucking cry babes

+ he hasn't had many officials on HLTV most of his matches are in danish leagues as well

2021-03-12 16:03

yesof course ZywOo's first 10 hltv officialt its not with 1.50 rating even or s1mple.thet understand like that if you have bad stats,you are bad player,you should work aim,go work in your movement etc... so dont care shit noobs these like idiots changing his crosshairs in the csgo its everyday.Dont care people on this sport

i feel like you are as much delusional as people who jerk off to stats if player is actually garbage individually then even the best tactics/protocols won't help him

2021-03-12 17:13

I'm 17 too, get me z0nic

2021-03-12 16:04

He's not that bad, definitely better than bot r0nic

If you're not fake flagging, do you have any idea why they decided to go with r0nic? I mean even his stats on faceit are shit.

2021-03-12 16:19

they got the core of an already established danish team and ronic was the igl so it was a nobrainer

2021-03-12 22:59

Ah, I see.

2021-03-12 23:04

wow 17 years old and already bald with a beard

2021-03-12 16:06

you gave me a good laugh, thanks

2021-03-12 16:07

new s1mple

rating 0.49 /s

0.57 kd GOD

Literally not an igl.. i swear to god vng is the biggest scammer on the scene... mans got no clue. Also hes not the first coach anymore bcuz of his incompetence roflmao

Zyphon is definitelly a guy that they should keep eye on, but i dont know about the rest. Now they bring in a 17 year old IGL, which is something crazy for me. Imo they should bring Bubzkji to the team, cuz why not. His last official match was almost 2 months ago. Then I would like to scout players like Kristou.

+MSL as an IGL can increase potential in this team by 200% and its not stupid (look at Gambit since they bring Hobbit to the team)

2021-03-12 16:18

No, don't compare MSL with hobbit. MSL is a bot.

2021-03-12 18:09

They are looking for young, new danish talents without experience, why would they bring bubzkji or kristou

2021-03-12 16:37

cuz other players in this team would develop much faster with players that already have an experience it would be great for both (players without experience and others)

2021-03-12 16:39

just like Gambit

2021-03-12 16:40

He does have the Astralis neck

2021-03-12 16:17

Sick rating

2021-03-12 16:26

"Meanwhile, Astralis have reiterated their intention to build a six-man roster for the academy squad, which will be joined by Mikkel "MistR" Thomsen in the summer" Ah, so Astralis will have a player that rots on the bench in their Academy team as well?

2021-03-12 17:43

Known this guy for a while, good friend of me back in the days. Can definetly do magical things. Good luck brother

2021-03-12 17:51

This is literally so bad. Me and my irl freinds have beat these players multiple times in faceit pugs. Now i’ll guarentee you if we were to play vs monesy, aunkere or b1t from navi Academy we would get hammered. Infact we did get hammered by Aunkere. My point is, this Astralis talent project is useless. Only zyphon and Mistrmagi is good

2021-03-12 18:22

0.49 lmaoo

2021-03-12 18:39

expected

2021-03-12 18:49

Astralis is on their scam spree again. They will later on put some of those talent on the main roster so other org might think their good player and then sell it. Some retarded org then buy it out for price up to 1 million.
