AcilioN announces switch to coaching

The CS:GO veteran feels his many years in the game have given him the experience needed to make the change.

The Dane is open to coaching offers from all regions

Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen has announced his move from player to coach, as well as the beginning of his search for his first coaching job. The Dane has stated he is currently not contracted to any organization, and that interested parties should reach out to him.

AcilioN has also said he is open to offers from any region, as well as for any coaching position. "I’m open for all regions and positions within a coaching staff, but my main goal is to become head coach at some point."

AcilioN began his career in CS:GO back in 2014 with myXMG and he has featured for many well-known organizations since, including the likes of Dignitas, HEROIC and MAD Lions. Since departing Apeks mid-way through 2022, the 26-year-old had struggled to find a long-term home as a player, spending short stints with Ambush DK, Preasy and Sashi.

The Dane’s greatest achievement as a player came in 2020 when he took the Flashpoint 1 trophy with MAD Lions, alongside the likes of Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck, Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen and Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand. The victory secured the team $500,000 and a rise to No. 13 in the world rankings.

AcilioN stated his belief that his extensive playing experience has given him much to offer, as well as his intention to ensure he gets the relevant training to become a coach.

"I believe that being around coaches and coaching staff for so many years I have picked up a few things that I believe are really important to teams. I also acknowledge that I need some training so therefore I’m gonna start coaching education here in Denmark later this year."

I honestly wouldn't put too much credence in the allegation. He's not the first person she's accused, and she's bipolar (according to herself). She's harassed half of the Danish t1 scene on social media to the point where most of the Astralis players (while they played with farlig), multiple members of staff, pimp, cadian etc. had to block her. She also attached a photo of kezziwow (former Astralis fe member) to her toilet for some inexplicable reason. I could go on, but I think you get the point. All of this is public knowledge btw.

Yes but that’s why I didn’t use an affirmation and I used the “allegedly” Even thought, if he did it or not, having a drama about it and having his name in it is not good for his player career

That's fair. I just though it's important to add context and I took it upon myself since I'm familiar with the situation.

If a person says theyve seen aliens abducting cows and its revealed said person is schizophrenic you dont think that is relevant information?

Are you comparing an accusation of sexual assault to being as likely as being abducted by aliens? If someone diagnosed with schizophrenia said they lost their keys would you disbelieve them from the outset because of their diagnosis lmao?
