Astralis remove trace, casle to take over as interim coach

12-10-2022 11:27

The shockwaves from Astralis' failed Major qualification bid are starting to be felt and more changes are expected.

Astralis has announced the removal of its first team coach, Martin "⁠trace⁠" Heldt, just days after the main squad failed to qualify for the IEM Rio Major, which sentenced the Danish organization to miss its first Valve-backed event since entering CS:GO in 2016.

This is the second notable change to the team after the failed Major bid as the Danish organization cut ties with Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke, who missed the Major-qualifying RMR event in Malta due to an injury sustained in a fight outside of a club in the Mediterranean island nation.

k0nfig and Astralis part ways

The 32-year-old coach was first promoted to the first team from the academy when the PGL Major Antwerp cycle began in March because of a coaching bug ban affecting Astralis' head coach at the time, Alexander "⁠ave⁠" Holdt.

trace's first test came at ESL Pro League Season 15, where the team made the quarter-finals, but the Major run was not as successful as the team failed to make it past the Challengers Stage in Belgium. Since then, Astralis got a semi-final finish at IEM Cologne 2022, but for the most part struggled to contend for trophies.

Astralis Talent coach Peter "⁠casle⁠" Ardenskjold has now been called up to lead the team in the interim while management works on finding a long-term replacement for trace.

Imminent changes are expected and the future of k0nfig's substitute, Mikkel "⁠MistR⁠" Thomsen, is still unknown, although the youngster will play BLAST Premier Fall Showdown with Astralis. The Danish organization has also been linked with a possible return of star AWPer Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz, who has been on the sidelines for a year since taking leave from Ninjas in Pyjamas's active roster.

"In the coming weeks and months, we will work on modernizing and developing the organization around the Counter-Strike team, where our Director of Sports will be looking at all current and potentially new roles and needed upgrades on and around the team," says Anders Hørsholt, Astralis' CEO.

"We have set the bar incredibly high with what we achieved in 2018-19. No one will ever reach that level of dominance, but that does not change the task on hand: We must restore clarity in the way we do things, and we must return to a position where we are in the fight for titles and top positions. It won't happen overnight, but the work has begun."

nice

why will farlig get better? Its not like hes young or becoming better

2022-10-12 14:53

Farlig has proven himself to be an extremely consistent 1.01 awper over the last 6 months. 6month/3month/1month rating all basically the same. 1.01 is terrible for a top tier awper. 6 months is enough time to show he is not a tier1 awper

Also gla1ve too failed miserably in his role, I know both lucky and farlig are not the devv level awper but their confidence level was/is way lower than their previous teams. It's like the gla1ve doesn't want to understand the mindset or playstyles (I may be wrong here, it is very much possible that both lucky and farlig are just mediocre awpers.) of his main players. I didn't see astralis priming up there awpers for the success. Their expectation from the awp role and the mentality of the players they chose for that role clearly doesn't match.

2022-10-12 15:24

+1 I agree the astralis or maybe gla1ve himself dont give new awpers the proper chances. Look at oSee when he first joined liquid compared to when he was able to have strats built around what he wanted to do.

2022-10-12 15:33

Honestly from what Ive seen of Gla1ve I dont think he has the development skillset like Karrigan. Dont get me wrong if you hand him 4 good players he can get the most out of them but if you hand him a developing player he doesnt seem to be able to help them grow.

2022-10-13 05:14

you are talking out of your ass. both farlig and lucky literally got to chose their positions to make them as comfortable as possible. they played around them for a while as well. but they didnt perform at all. so they had to pull the plug on the freedom that was given to them.

2022-10-13 20:39

#210

Exactly and you also see Astralis not trying to save the awp at the end of rounds. How do you think this makes your awper feel?

2022-10-14 01:35

quite true though

2022-10-12 15:18

Not really. The AWP is the most important role on the server and any team that wants to be top tier needs to have a top tier awper. You can see Liquid struggling for the same reason - it is oSee holding them back. Farlig is far from garbage, but he will never have the impact that Astralis needs if they want to be a title contender.

2022-10-12 15:26

Bro why you talk shit about oSee when Liquid is atm top 3 team really even tho they are 4th, but they are good, can improve but they are truly solid rn after kicking Shox and adding YEKINDAR, and you need to read, oSee doesn't have greatest spots as other players do, Liquid put him as a support AWP-er cuz they already have 3 stars in YEKINDAR, Elige and NAF so he is really unselfish player who does things for a team and doesn't play best roles in the world. Anyways you can read what NAF said about oSee and himself, but everyone is praising oSee

2022-10-13 15:24

i cant with delusional ppl like you, consistently missing silver level awp shots isnt a problem? i mean there's just no aruging with that level of braindead

2022-10-13 01:39

how can you say that with a straight face. having a tier 3 awper in a team trying to be top 5 world consistent isnt a problem. im sorry but that is blatantly stupid. he might not be the only problem. but he certainly is a huge problem

2022-10-13 20:37

imgur.com/a/XUJuVdt Farlig getting better? Nah. He has already peaked.

2022-10-14 17:42

ah yes, the coach is the one to blame, classic Astralis move

2022-10-12 14:21

Xyp is still a great player, but every player need the right team to perform.

2022-10-12 18:26

have you been watching lol, he is washed

Yes and he is obviously not washed but rather uncomfortable

2022-10-12 19:57

I would have to disagree. As someone who used to LOVE Xyp - before the Astralis dominance, I have begruttingly wanted him booted from the team for the past 3 years, as he has weighed them down heavily :(

2022-10-12 20:19

You barely find a player as washed-up as him. He cant get kills even with the opponent having their back turned against him. Literally the worst player from top 20 teams

Valde wouldn't have solved their problem. I agree, As long blameF is in the Team. Xyp9x will be a problem because he will be playing all sort of Filler roles. Xyp9x's strength was his lurk and his ability to outsmart his opponents in 1vX. In current Astralis both of those roles are with Blame. So better to sell him I guess.

Sooo, he's lurking and you call it baiting. Nice.

You're telling me remaining alive at lobby while team die on b site on nuke isn't baiting?

2022-10-12 14:18

What's the point of baiting? To get kills. If he's lurking and his team dies on a different site he is on, it's not baiting because he's not getting kills.

2022-10-12 16:21

A good lurker also has a shit ton of impact. If BlameF is at Ramp or something when team die at B, makes sense. Bro is camping Lobby like a moron, not even trying to cut off rotations. That's not what a lurker does. Watch a Ropz demo and then watch Blame demo.

2022-10-12 17:22

+1 Blame always seems to be outside of where a lurker should be play in relation to the strat. Team pushes b he's nowhere near ramp trying to get rotations like he should be. Dude saves way more than he should and is definitely a problem. Xyp may not have the raw aim or even the mechanical talent of blame but he played his role better and more intelligently than blame ever has.

2022-10-12 17:43

Cuz thats literally what a lurk does, albeit yes blame does it to a extreme but that example if off. I will give you one example, in liquid vs eg, whole liquid went to B site in ancient while NAF was sol camping teir A entry from T side in a corner, he basically sat their the whole round. Didnt move an inch, why cuz eg tend to flank in the late round there, so he was lurking. That is literally the job of a lurker, if liquid g and die in b site, its not nafs fault. In the end what happened, was brehze pushed and naf got the kill of him, this told liqid that the site was clear since brehze flanked and the b site guys would probably try to rotate to a fast and played around it. Now if liquid had just went and died before naf got that kill, what is he supposed to do?

2022-10-12 17:14

I think BlameF has his strength. Blame is better shooter. But if Xyp9x can get back his old role and is able to what he did best. Xyp9x can get better results.

2022-10-12 15:20

I'm taking blame over current Xyp every day of the week.

2022-10-12 16:22

1.22 rating 1.22 impact so, every top team has a strong lurker

2022-10-12 17:29

Thanks for proving you only look at stats

2022-10-12 17:33

So kick blamef and then want? Every game astralis won is when blamef is performing, just stop it glaive and xypex are done. They have his era, amazing era but end long time ago

2022-10-12 18:16

Kick blamef and I don't fucking know. I'm not supposed to be in charge of talent find in astralis

2022-10-12 21:07

Yeah, only the clutches he's taken lately are the bare minimum

2022-10-12 13:51

Positions he plays on T and CT rounds usually means he is 1st to 3rd person in any engagement. Usually he was the bait to enter the site. With K0nfig or Gla1ve entering after him. So it's nearly impossible for him to be in clutch situation.

2022-10-12 15:22

-XYP when/?

Xyp isn't doing well enough to warrant his position in the tem, obviously you dont actually watch the games, he whiffs and is a massive liability. You need to move on.

2022-10-12 13:36

Xyp like flusha has never been the strongest player in straight up aim duels, he wins his fights by outsmarting his opponents. But even in 2018 he always said that he can only clutch when he gets enough info from his teammates to predict the opponents moves. I guess without dupreeh and device who knew exactly how to feed him info he struggles more.

2022-10-12 14:56

Yeaaah he isn't the """clutch minister""" anymore

One has to be last man standing to be that and I kid you not in optimum not ideal. He still has clutches. Currently last man standing role is with BlameF. Hence most of the clutch opportunities goes to him.

You are correct with everything you said. Cute Minister GOAT.

pls remove who ever keeps doing these retarded signings, lucky, konfig, trace, etc. who ever said yes to this is the one that should be fired!

2022-10-12 12:39

well k0nfig wasnt too bad in the beginning and it was the double trouble transfer together with Blame. Last months he sucked indeed.. Could've gone well actually, I first believed in their roster after the split up!

2022-10-12 12:47

that is true but if the only way for a team to win a round is havning konfig get 3 or more kills then the team is on a wrong path and thats the boss fault. you dont fire and entire team in football, basketball etc. you fire the coach/sports manager. and its clear that the guy signing these player dont know shit about the game or what type of players they need. if it was only konfig and blameF didnt join, the team made more sense.

I agree 100%! If theres someone who should be fired its the team manager and not the coach. He can only manage the team with the players he got. In that case he had Lucky, then k0nfig and BlameF came, Lucky got benched, Glaive switched to AWP for a short period, stand-in games with fessor, Farlig was signed... I mean how are they supposed to bring stable and good results in? Also the coach? Idk what those managers think might happen in half a year with a team but this is just a fcking mess!

2022-10-14 10:04

+1 i dont think getting device is right

2022-10-12 13:25

simpvice is done. he is never gonna come back to his old self. a full rebuild is whats needed.

2022-10-12 14:14

I would not say that but adding a player who has not played a single official match in 12 months to a team that has struggled for 10 months to even get the basics down will not be a good move. He will need their help to get back into the game and he will not get it with the whole team not playing well.

2022-10-12 14:59

2022-10-12 11:28

Get device pls ez clap

just splash more money post Major, get Staehr from Sprout and maybe even replace Xyp while we are at it Device Glaive BennieF Staehr Xyp/support and we can go somewhere

That team is so passive lmao, it has no aggresive player

2022-10-12 11:29

this is true and this is also where i expect role changes to come into effect as well. Blame cant get away being the baiter in this lineup anymore, he needs to be opening up sites or at least be the second guy in.

2022-10-12 11:30

Just get rid of blame hes the biggest problem for them get either refrezh or someone from academy team

2022-10-12 11:31

it actually isnt the worst idea in the world , Astralis getting rid of Blame would actually open up so many points and leave so much room to be filled and played that they can easily pave their way up from their instead of using band-aid like fixes they have been doing ever since Device left

2022-10-12 11:32

Ye remove your best player make sense, ah nvm they sold dev1ce. They probably will sold BlameF is someone want to pay

2022-10-12 11:38

gla1ve isnt a good igl

2022-10-12 11:39

i believe glaive hasnt had the best of elements post prime Astralis lineup to be able to judge whether he is a good igl or not. However, i think it is getting quite evident with every passing time that it was perhaps not just the IGL but rather the whole system with coach and players because of which prime Astralis thrived.

xyp isnt washed...hes holding his weight in his role

+1 given the fact that he is going along with roles that he isnt used to playing , he is actually doing decent in the team. Since Cologne Xyp has held his weight well.

2022-10-12 12:12

+1 He is not the problem. He is the cute minister and has to stay, man. Get rid of BlameF if you like, I don't care but please keep Glaive and Xyp to have at least a bit of nostalgia/recognition on the team. Changes, yes but not too drastic.

2022-10-12 12:42

He is an anchor bro... Not the great one

He’s not wrong

2022-10-12 11:53

read the rest of the thread while you are at it

It's a start but a team with BlameF and Xyp is not gonna work. Xyp was always good at playing the lurk/anchor role. BlameF does the same and even a bit better (nowadays). This is the same reason why Xyp is underperforming since Blame came in the team. He has to play other roles in which he is uncomfortable.

you are actually spot on ! and this is more of a reason why Xyp is not as big of an issue in Astralis as people are making him out to be. He is playing roles he never played before and still doing decent , he is not completely shit at it , he is still holding his weight down there. Meanwhile Blame has taken all those roles and along with that all the passiveness which in turn is hurting the team more than benefiting. Blame would need to shakeup his playstyle in the new Astralis or else it isnt gonna work

2022-10-12 12:14

I think Glaive Device Bubzki Esetag Xyp Will be the winning combination.

2022-10-12 16:48

old Bubzkji like the ones from Tricked/Mad Lions days would be a great asset in this lineup honestly.

2022-10-12 21:54

yeah this is gonna fix it

idk about this change but I like that they are atleast trying to make changes

unlucky for trace , cheater Hunden time now

HUNDEN is literally an embarrassment and disgrace to CSGO and competitive world in general. It's so funny that Astralis keep ties with him

2022-10-12 12:05

Oh dear. You can only play the hand you're dealt and the whole CS community knows Astalis' recruitment has been the main issue for this team. I really feel for trace given he was poached to lead the academy then was super subbed as first team head coach due to ave not being able to attend tournaments. Also must suck having to be the middle man for hunden... If they think casle can fix this team then the org is deluded. Surely the GM should be falling on the sword for this mess, not the head coach. Kasper seems to be made of teflon!!! (Nothing can stick to him)

2022-10-12 12:10

Trace might be likeble but is clearly not good enough, upgrade over ave (who was clueless on building team) yet still could not do much in terms of helping Konfig get openings (got almost no support most of time) , nade meta eluded him also as some harder to read defensive set ups. Astralis problem is not talent its the way talent is used, their gameplan sucks.

casle only stand in till they find new guy

2022-10-12 15:48

Finally this YouTuber is gone, absolutely useless person for Astralis

Yeah, it's all trace's fault that team was playing like silvers

Navi were playing like silvers also and then came Blade who showed how it should be done.

2022-10-12 12:16

so castle, who has only coached on b tier and c tier tournaments is same as blade? besides, navi had achievements even with kane.

2022-10-12 12:27

Navi had played well with Kane and at the same time braindead, Zeus had enough of this and he retired. I dont know that castle guy but leaving trace on coach role was not good choice imo.

2022-10-12 14:10

title casle is stand in

2022-10-12 15:51

Navi lacked structure Astralis is lacking skill

2022-10-12 12:37

And structure imo

2022-10-12 13:30

Navi had structure there were always one of most structured teams, they were just often playing braindead fpl cs.

5th coach in 1 year

Just imagine if Hunden didn’t get ban then he would be coach, Heroic couldn’t let him join the main rival.

Glaive is taken our the Coach role slowly?

2022-10-12 12:38

Taking*. Over*.

2022-10-18 22:04

Trace should be a body guard

Just sinking deeper in the shitter. ASStralis

trace and k0nfig will make a new team, it will already be better than astralis as long as he doesnt bring xyp and gla1ve along

2022-10-12 13:03

people talking that xyp is the problem have 0 understanding of team & roles. There is 0 problem in xyp, he was put in uncomfortable positions and he needs a strong team play/core to be effective and efficient. But when your team lacks strategy and firepower in the main riflers and the AWP there is nothing he can do.

2022-10-12 13:04

Well said.

2022-10-15 03:40

Remove xyp and glaive Too old now, past their prime, life circumstances will affect them committing 100% to CS, and finally, both have performed shit Time for new leadership and hungry young talent

Trace had enough shit from Astra? xD

konfig trace, next one is baitf. Rip buff daddy trio

2022-10-12 13:27

sad for Trace but it s good to see Astralis finally waking up.However, trace said on twitter "Benched due to poor results and especially missing the major" and to blame him for missing the major kinda sucks.All the players played like shit cuz probably everybody knew dev1ce is coming and a rebuild was on the way, nobody gave a shit about the major so i don t see why would you blame him.It s the 2nd coach already, the team become a little better with him instead of ave but right now you need to work with gla1ve and finally found the one, the tactical side fucking sucks and if you keep switching coaches like this nothing it will not get better.

Nah glaive and xypex time is done. Just rebuild

2022-10-12 13:52

nah, gla1ve is the only reason why this project still stands and why anybody still gives a shit about Astralis.For xyp, probably yes.Keeping both him and blame is a mistake, blame is a top player who can easily take his role and instead you can get a good rifler.No more passive players.

2022-10-12 13:54

'Martin @astralistrace Heldt has been benched with immediate effect with more organizational changes and upgrades to come on and around the team.' Well atleast we'll get to see more

He is kinda of filler player for them. That person who will do whatever team ask him to do. The only person who had most position shift since OG squad broke off is Xyp. 1st they made him be bait to k0nfig. Enter the site and let k0nfig trade off him. Then they made 2nd entry. Then made him do the bomb plants. Now xyp is either 2nd or 3rd engagement. Xyp9x strength lies in Lurk and he hasn't done that almost the entire tenure of new astralis. It's BlameF who does that. So basically play any position they ask him to him. Every team has one player. Some are more comfortable in it than others. Twistzz in FaZe's recent video said that. He plays any position they ask him to play. Having a player to play any garbage or not needed position is kinda important as it reduces clashes. I guess that's why he is around.

Man, just look at his aim... I agree with you about T side, but at ct side he's very bad as defender. In tier1 team only 1 player can have stats less than 1, else team will lose in 99%. Look at Vitality, for example. They swap 1 average player for very good rifler - they become much stronger. Astralis player's management awful at last years. One of the worst among top teams

Astralis should remove glave first. He hired that "most tallented awper. mr toothless.

Devilwalk should be the next Astralis coach

Astralis should remove the director of sports Kasper Hvidt, the guy is utterly incompetent, but the easy solution is to snack the coach.. When will the owners and boardmembers wake up ?

2022-10-12 15:21

ill do it, ill coach cant get any worse than now :D

2022-10-12 15:27

98% of this thread has 0 clue lol. Trace shouldn't have been hired at all - this team did not take their time at all when "re-building".. they rushed to get into as many tournies as possible. You can keep BlameF, Glaive & Xyp. Remove Farlig. Bring back Device. Roej would be cool to see on this team. Kyjaerbye? ;) hahahahhaaha

2022-10-12 15:31

Astralis' fall so sad :d

Rip

2022-10-12 15:32

Pls buy device now. Let NiP Atleast get SOME money back from that awful signing. I have No idea why device would want to join astralis again tho, but if he wants to, he wants to.

People slating Xyp don’t understand the game. We don’t see what goes on outside of matches. Astralis’ main problem was T side, not trading k0nfig or using the space he was creating. So unless k0nfig was killing several players AND staying alive, nothing happened.

i think that Astralis took the title of the biggest clown organization from NiP and EG after this

2022-10-12 15:58

"We have set the bar incredibly high with what we achieved in 2018-19. No one will ever reach that level of dominance" Dont break your neck when falling of that high horse astralis, oh wait, nvm....

2022-10-12 16:05

What Astralis not a bodybuilding team anymore?

2022-10-12 16:13

Announce device already wth

2022-10-12 16:28

Xypex = washed up shit, should retire Glaive = washed up should retire Device = 28 year old way past his prime, astralis pays 600k for him LOLH HAHAHA only good player in the team is blamef, feel bad for him. hes the only tier 1 player in that team.

2022-10-12 16:40

you mean baitF who hasnt achieved shit is the only t1 player? x) no wonder you are losing the war

2022-10-12 17:16

shit teams, he is best igl, ruined his career in astralis now

2022-10-12 18:41

hmm. got split feelings regarding mrF. Hes a great fragger, but allways seems to be to late to the action

2022-10-12 21:43

The management is a disaster. They totally lost it, with this decision. Astralis will forever be T2, untill changes on the management level changes.

2022-10-12 16:43

ofc xyp0x save again

2022-10-12 16:49

really good decision

2022-10-12 16:54

this team is a circus

2022-10-12 16:55

“We have set the bar incredibly high with what we achieved in 2018-19. No one will ever reach that level of dominance.” They used to say that about fnatic and nip as well. Lmao if others say that about you I let it pass, but when you are so pathetic you have to say it yourself and hold on to the past, because you suck hard nowadays just shows what a trash organization Astralis really is. S1mple is one of the most arrogant players and even he doesn’t say things like “I am the best player” or “no one will ever reach my level of skill and consistency” If changing coach and replacing k0nfig who was one of the best players in team is only thing you do, while keeping fartling, bot minister and washed “mastermind” gla1ve, I will be really happy watching you fail at next RMR yet again xD

2022-10-12 16:59

rip ! he was the most chad-built coach cs scene has ever seen,

2022-10-12 16:56

Astralis rebuild?

2022-10-12 17:20

Could be on the cards

2022-10-14 14:52

Trace more like trash

2022-10-12 17:23

First of all, change the CEO and people in charge at the top level then startbuilding a good roster again. The fish stinks from the head

Hunden must be waiting for that phonecall, after all it must be boring getting paid indirectly by Astralis without being in the limelight.

I feel sorry for trace, it's like in football - so much easier to kick the coach than to admit that half of your players are washed up paycheck stealers.

2022-10-12 19:46

now it looks like tier 2-3 team

2022-10-12 19:51

I like trace but this was absolutely necessary

2022-10-12 20:37

ITS HUNDEN TIME

2022-10-12 20:56

Good riddance. They should kick the entire roster tbh, especially baitF... This what they get for kicking bubzjki for carrying them into the major.

2022-10-12 21:35

Astralis losing zonic has got to be one of the worst roster moves in history, just a downward spiral since

2022-10-12 22:36

HUNDEN ftw

2022-10-12 22:45

+device +gade

2022-10-13 01:14

2022-10-13 03:40

Astralis management still shite as ever

2022-10-13 03:58

- gla1ve - Xyp - Farlig - BaitF

2022-10-13 15:43

i wanna be tracer im already tracer

2022-10-14 10:08

spittin bars

2022-10-18 22:07

I am not an expert but what i believe is blamef is one of the best player around in terms of head to head duel, aim and his mechanical skills are better than excellent. Thus, he could be used as the entry fragger or second man in, xyp still has a lot to give to this team and people saying xyp is the issue is completely incorrect. Give him his old position back and switch it up with blamef and see how xyp and blame will both perform and show their best. Blamef can play xyp's current role and perform insane still if given time, chance and asked to do so as a requirement. He learns fast and is insanely good. Xyp meanwhile can revert to his old position and both of them can be great on the team. Farlig obviously needs to perform better and glave needs to rethink on new igl strategies that fits the team, he is good at pulling those off.
