Sprout comment on Staehr-Farlig trade possibility: "No thanks"

14-10-2022 15:50

Sprout's public response to Astralis' rumored offer of Asger "⁠Farlig⁠" Jensen for Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr was simple and clear.

On Thursday, a report from Jaxon.gg claimed that Astralis has recently inquired about Sprout's star rifler Staehr in their attempt to "return to a position where we are in the fight for titles and top positions" following their failure to qualify for the IEM Rio Major.

According to the report, Astralis offered their current AWPer, Farlig, in a potential trade deal for Staehr amid numerous other Jaxon reports linking them with the potential return of Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz and a buyout from his current contract with Ninjas in Pyjamas.

The Sprout organization has made two public comments in reply to the possibility of Astralis' trade offer in a Reddit thread and on Twitter, both sending one simple message: "No thanks."

Astralis have reportedly expressed interest in Staehr

That response comes as little surprise at a time when Sprout have just qualified for the IEM Rio Major Legends Stage, less than two months after bringing in Ismail "⁠refrezh⁠" Ali as a new in-game leader and Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss, and are hard at work preparing for the Brazilian campaign.

Staehr was one of the key players behind Sprout's run to the Major and has been touted as one of Denmark's biggest prospects, showcasing impressive performances on both the lower-tier level and on occasion starring against top-level opposition, such as in the IEM Cologne Play-in.

Meanwhile, Farlig's stock has decreased after he has endured a difficult period during his time with Astralis so far, averaging a 0.98 LAN rating in 2022.

Astralis remove trace, casle to take over as interim coach

k0nfig and Astralis part ways

A transfer of a player of Staehr's potential would likely involve a hefty price, especially when considering Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer's recent comments about ENCE being unable to get another Sprout player, Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea, out of his contract with the German organization during the summer tournament break.

"lauNX was the only one where an offer was made early on and he wanted to go," Snappi said in an interview with HLTV.org in late August. "We bid a lot but Sprout denied it and his agent didn’t put a buyout in his contract."

Sprout have had Staehr on their books since January 2022, only four months longer than lauNX.

Good. ASStralis "let's make our org better and fuck over another org because we have privilege and daddy blast" "Go fuck yourselves we are here to win not to be a feeding ground for so called "top teams" - sprout Yes it's a business but if you want to grow cs which apparently we haven't done in fucking 8 years then you have to stop poaching talent from tier 2 and let those teams compete and learn with their rosters. Fuck you ASStralis, for the betterment of csgo's development

Hilarious. I made my statement to show you how easy it is to claim whatever bullshit you want. Noone knows if they offered a trade with or without money. So it's fucking pointless for you or anyone else to sit here and act butthurt. Do you get it now kid? You scored a satisfying owngoal. And tried to actually argue that you put it in the right goal.

I have never seen football club arrogant to offer trade like for example Werner for Haaland, stop defending your trash organization, they are clearly delusional.

2022-10-14 19:15

Meant money offers in that regard you idiot... You dont start out offering 100m Always try low then up. Basic logic but guess a moron like you wont understand that :))

2022-10-14 21:02

Flag + flair = waste of time and mostly waste of air

2022-10-14 23:51

If you want to buy Haaland and you offer less than 100m for such a player you are lowballing moron and you would get same response Sprout gave to Astralis “NO THANKS”

2022-10-14 23:54

Obviously dont wanna give 100m... You just dont get any kind of examples.. Waste of life

2022-10-15 08:52

They offered Farlig and cash. How hard is that to understand?

2022-10-14 15:55

he has more experience in t1 than the other

2022-10-14 20:46

Experience of getting rekt, how is that a good thing?

2022-10-14 21:25

at least he went top 4 in cologne and has some great lan experience and he played along great players in astralis

2022-10-14 21:30

none of that is relevant when the player your trying to get is going to the biggest tournament of your game, a tournament you failed to qualify to, sprout would have to be completely stupid to make that trade money be damned

2022-10-15 01:07

u are right, but i think skill wise farlig is actually decent

2022-10-15 02:57

i have nothing against farlig himself, i actually think hes okay, but the circunstances astralis wanted to make that trade in were just ridiculous, no one in their right mind would accept those terms

2022-10-15 03:09

yeah, poor farlig

Why would sprout ever take that deal lol

11 replies

Obviously for the money

2022-10-14 16:01

what money? the rumor is for a swap, not for swap + money.

2022-10-14 16:22

Lol even worse. Why would they ever take the deal without a bunch of money being involved?

2022-10-14 16:29

It's also money rofl. What part don't you get?

2022-10-14 23:27

dev1ce had to pay part of his buyout so i wonder just how much money astralis wouldve payed staehr

It is so crazy that Astralis still thinks they have higher position in any point. They lost competetive advantage on gameplan, coach, AWPer, roster, and even ORG itself Only ranking-wise Sprout is behind, but there is possibility it turns upside-down if they(Ast) dont change much of their structure.

2022-10-14 16:31

well soon astralis will be top 30 if they dont get a replacemnt for k0nfig

2022-10-14 17:35

Mistr is not That bad and casle is a great coach he's my old school teacher and i can tell ya watching him take a 150# team and turn it into a top 50 team now is incredible No experince in tier 1 but He's gonna get that now hopefully :)

2022-10-14 18:02

That's really cool that casle was your teacher. Do you reckon he remembers you?

2022-10-14 23:05

yes he does i still talk a bit to him to this day he's a really cool dude and i Really think he's gonna succeed in this :)

2022-10-15 12:21

Good, Staehr career would die as soon as he joins astralis

u think current sprout will achieve more than astralis when device is back?

dev1ce paid over a hundred thousand euros to help buy himself out of asstralis why would he go back to them especially when they are failing as an org and team

2022-10-14 19:24

Murica strikes again

yes astralis dead team and dev1ce overrated he should just retire

i don't see the reference to my comment, dev1ce is washed up.

2022-10-14 16:19

And you know that because?

2022-10-14 16:36

I mean why tf would Sprout want this unless it comes with a million dollars cash? Staehr is much better, younger, and worth way more... They don't even need an AWP Astralis is so funny sometimes lol

Exactly. And sprout as an org wants to become t1 team in cs. They didn't let launx go as well (to ence). So it makes sense that they also don't want to sell staehr

2022-10-14 16:04

wasn't it that lauNx didn't pass the "tests" in ence? They were testing a few other players then, like him, Cacanito, nertz and valde and eventually they went for valde

2022-10-14 16:23

they all probably did well but they just went for safer option

Launx is the first choice and has been offered an offer, but sprout denied it

2022-10-14 16:52

it says in the article why he didn't join ence lol

2022-10-14 17:15

ok thanks mate

Because a good org would. Astralis is considered to be a bad org for the same reasons

they deserve considering what they did to players like bubzkji, lucky, or jugi

2022-10-14 19:25

Teams should just hand over their most valuable players they've spent months and $$$ investing in for free?? Astralis fans are so deluded man

Who said its for free?

Isnt a trade of staehr for farlig what astralis had in mind?

Trade with money obviously

You think staehr is worth more than farlig?

Yes especially since astralis need staehr more than sprout needs farlig

So much more that it would be really worth it fro sprout to take the deal? Ahead of the major? I doubt it but dunno

Yeah it was kinda bad time for astralis making a deal. They shouldve approached after sprout gets eliminated from the major

2022-10-14 16:33

It would also be a bad move by sprout management to break the team apart just before a major. It would be kinda like they dont care about the players. Which is what you accuse them of.

Yeah makes sense.

2022-10-14 16:59

uhh hate to break it to you but they're specifically talking about a swap not money

2022-10-14 16:28

Source?

wtf do you mean source? do you even read? it's right there in the fucking article it's in jaxon.gg and at the end in the twitter posts sheesh the fuck

2022-10-14 16:32

A source should be a reliable one. These guys dont know the internal details of a deal

doesnt matter because the topic here specifically mentions rumors so anyone with the barest reading comprehension should take this with a grain of salt

2022-10-14 16:40

The topic here is sprouts comment of "No thanks". We dont the offer to which they replied this. The post isnt about the rumor. Please read the title of the post again

2022-10-14 17:00

article title SPROUT COMMENT ON STAEHR-FARLIG TRADE POSSIBILITY: "NO THANKS" subtitle Sprout's public response to Astralis' rumored offer of Asger "⁠Farlig⁠" Jensen for Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr was simple and clear. keywords: possibility, rumored

They care thats why they won't let him go sinking tier 6 Botstralis with bot9x and gla1ve not existing T side strats

2022-10-14 16:00

I'm sure if astralis gave them a legitimate offer they would consider it The problem is they probably tried to lowball by "trading" farlig, which would have been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever As we speak, astralis is putting together their next pitch: lucky for stavn

tbf everyone knows astralis is hard pressed to build a strong new roster. it's time to suck them dry, the bargaining is gonna be rough

Sprout: major legends Astralis???

4 time major champions? :D

10 replies

Yeah and GeT_RiGhT best player in the world. Astralis deserve the respect, but even considering leaving for Astralis rn is stupid, better grind for the most hype major ever, not thinking about a brief shadow of once-goat team

Anyone who thinks about long term success would join astralis. I get it if staehr is expecting better offers soon. But sprout is a dead end.

2022-10-14 16:16

if astralis had a vision, a plan around which they plan to build the roster, that they could give the player to motivate them to join just like vitality did with dupreeh and magisk but as long as astralis doesn't seem to know what they're doing and just buying players that are good statistically or hyped this won't happen

2022-10-14 17:40

just franchise spots in BLAST and ESL aren't enough, staehr is on a working project now and astralis doesn't have a project, the long-term succes isn't obvious beyond getting a fat paycheck for yourself

2022-10-14 17:42

Sprout is a dead end in 6 month, 1 year. Astralis will be a dead team in the next year.

2022-10-14 21:17

no one is buying him right now anyway, if they perform badly at the major, then its gonna be much cheaper

Literally 4/6 people responsible for the 4 majors are gone. Lmao.

2022-10-14 17:37

it's a better career choice still if he joins them after major

2022-10-14 17:38

Yeah great choice for Lucky and Bubzkji

2022-10-14 17:57

+1 They kill madlions, now it is time for sprout. Astralis #1 in Danemark. Why ? They kill the other teams.

2022-10-14 21:04

what a greedy move by NN not accepting offer from icon of csgo on denmark = disband sooN

No thanks

chad move

They just qualified for the major in a legends spot, why would they want to sell a player?

not so long ago they were big's academy team, meaning big would just buy their better looking players whenever they wanted to make a change, just like cph flames were danish cs's academy team. but it looks like sprout actually wants to go deep in tournaments cuz they first refused selling launx and now staehr

From a business perspective it makes a lot of sense if you’re a t2 team. Get some promising players build a good structure around them, pay a reasonable but low wage. Get a bit of use out of them and then sell for a hundred thousand or so. But then when you qualify the sticker $ potential is there. If sprout perform well big pay cheque from stickers and they can demand a higher fee for the players. If they don’t they can potentially keep the roster if bigger teams don’t come knocking or sell for a fair fee. Ultimately if a bigger team wants the players they will get them. The wages astralis would offer would be too much for staehr to turn down and you cannot force a player to stay and play for your org if you don’t want to. It’s like spinx with vitality, from interviews you can tell it was a pure monetary decision on his behalf.

2022-10-14 16:17

why would you join a dead team? that won’t help both sides. prob the risk getting benched after 6 months is also too high. spinx vitality move comparison literally zero iq. vitality is an established team already and had huge potential (blast final eg) which they also unlocked with that move now. Spinx does not have to worry about his position in a team too, but staehr gonna be doubtful pretty sure.

2022-10-14 16:34

Sprout has no reason to accept. But it really depends on how much Astralis are willing to put to on the table

Also depends on how much sprout thinks staehr will be worth after major

Was kinda obvious lol... But still don't understand how on earth there are still players without a buy out clause. It's beyond my understanding

BRUHHHH XDDDD

I doubt Astralis was going to offer them this deal

i mean obv astralis would have to give a decent amount of money on top of farlig to get staerh and for the people saying why would he go to a "worse team" look at spinx to vitality and it was the exact same thing. "hltv analyst" were saying spinx shouldn't downgrade and now look at vitality+ if u move from a team like sprout to astralis there is a lot of prestige as a danish player and you get payed very handsomely

vita > ast + no prestige there

fartlig

cph v2, wont be shocked if they reach play offs

Coz fartlig is bad, that team is ded without Godfig. They haven't enough firepower, BaitF can only bait people, just farming stats.

ahah gj

for long term he should go to astralis as they have both the blast and esl pro league spot.

2022-10-14 17:08

Wtf :)

Excellent move, until the major starts i will have SPROUT as flair. i hope Staehr also wants to stay. Now the boys have some work to do at the major, as expectations will inherently rise. i still believe it is a bad move for a talent to move to the AST lineup with BennieF as protagonist. EDIT: And remember, this wont help farligs performance at AST. Being offered says enough about the future plans: farlig is not part of them.

Astralis: alright Sprout now we are calling K0nfig to kick your ass!

Honestly wtf is wrong with this org, they could buy the dude with like one months worth of their normal player salaries, and yet they have to propose this pathetic offer

all fun and laughs until sprout turns to shit after they get knocked out from the major and astralis get device , at that point players from sprout will want to leave for astralis . all about time , astralis is a cheeky org , getting rid of farlig this early means device is 100% back

Yeah a trade wouldn't really make sense for Sprout rn even if Farlig was in better form.

Good move by Sprout. Astralis would destroy Staehr career anyways. He would get the bad roles, then start playing badly, lose confidence and end up on the bench like Bubzki.

2022-10-14 19:36

Is sprout by any chance trying to build up a t1 team like heroic did? If they dont want to sell their players to t1 orgs and make money that way it seems like they dont want to be stuck in t2 anymore.

Hahahahahaha fuck off shitstralis

I tried to say this to all the "astralis fixers" on HLTV again and again. maybe they will listen now. never the less. sprout is only alive due to selling players. its their dna. so lets see after the major.

Once again the problem is that Astralis doesn't want to pay for quality players... They just lost a ton of stickers money but still won't pays for decent players other that device, and even for him they really waited until they had no other choice tonpay him the less $ possible ..

Sprout gigachads lol

They should just bring es3tag to rifle and device. Still doesn't solve the g1aive/xyp9x situation though.

like es3tag would want to go to the Astralis shitshow and miss the Major right when NiP is looking good.

Ofc not now. The big moves are supposed to happen in dec/jan

From what I remember es3tag rifled brilliantly for Astralis and I imagine he wants to put down the big green and rifle again. But that's just speculative on my part. I'm having a really hard time figuring out the gla1ve/xyp9x situation. I can't see Astralis getting top-tier again unless these two are getting more consistent in fragging output.

it wasn't a fair transfer

ASTRALUL respect for Sprout

if this trade doesnt realise, imagine being Farlig, i know u earn good money,but just imagine not being wanted by ur team/coaches/organization, like why even bother playing with passion? there is no way this is how Astralis will bounce back, disgusting from the org a even if Farlig is not at their requested level! this is why they are in this situation from the start, i guess some people never learn anything.
