gla1ve open to offers: "I'm ready to play the best CS of my life again"

28-10-2023 12:53

The four-time Major champion is ready to step back onto the server after being inactive since June.

gla1ve is eyeing a return to action

Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander has announced he is ready to continue his Counter-Strike career and return to the server. The Danish IGL stated that he is still under contract with Astralis but that the Danish organization has "allowed him to explore his options."

The announcement comes during a period of uncertainty in the tier-one scene, as several high-profile teams recently made or are in the process of roster changes during an acclimatization period after the release of CS2.

gla1ve has been a part of Astralis since November 2016 and won four Major titles with the organization, but results began to worsen in the final years of his leadership.

Astralis' last LAN title came at BLAST Pro Series Global Final 2019, and the lack of success prompted the organization to remove their long-time captain during their summer rebuild in June 2023. They added Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr and Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup and moved Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer to the in-game-leader role.

Official: Astralis add Staehr, b0RUP

The Dane, who spent the last four months on the sidelines, has now stated he feels ready to return to competition. "Sometimes it takes one step back to take two forward. I'm finally feeling like I'm ready to play the best CS of my life again and I'm ready to jump back on the server," he said in a Tweet.

"Whilst I'm still under contract with Astralis, they've allowed me to explore my options and I'm open to offers."

gla1ve has been subject to a rumor linking him with Ninjas in Pyjamas, but the Dane's announcement confirms he is not the in-game leader signing the Swedish organization teased.

2023-10-29 01:38

I dont think Magisk and zonic sees him as having a high enough level. Why do you think they left him in Astralis?

2023-10-29 11:36

yeah just magisk and deve worth for tier-1 the others is washed

Still cs is the same all you need to do is shoot to win

2023-10-29 02:39

we watch 2 very different games sorry to say

2023-10-29 02:54

hit me up with whatever youre smoking too. Glave was nothing except Zonic, he was a deadbeat to the team until he was kicked.

2023-10-28 18:48

Low tier bait

2023-10-28 18:54

He is a has-been.

2023-10-29 00:49

Why zonic want Snappi? He isn't that good btw.

2023-10-28 13:36

He literally built a top5 team mainly from promising t2-3 players

2023-10-28 14:41

He is one of the best fragging IGL who also manages to build tier1 teams out of tier2 players. He is for lots of people the GOAT IGL of 2023.

2023-10-28 14:45

“Greatest of all time of 2023” People need to stop misusing goat lmao

2023-10-28 15:09

2023-10-29 10:58

JT best fragging IGL BABY

2023-10-29 02:10

could work

Heroic?

2023-10-28 13:00

Could be

Heroic gonna be a tier 2 team then

2023-10-28 13:08

They need to build the team up again anyway

2023-10-28 13:12

Depends on the stavn and jabbi situation

Not rly relies in igl situation

2023-10-28 13:13

That doesn't mean you need to build the whole team structure all over again, especially in one like Heroic's where everyone participates in calling

2023-10-28 13:14

Yes true But if they lose stavn and jabbi it wouldnt be the end of the world thing I think they are overrated

2023-10-28 13:15

does bro know there's a whole new game released since he last left

2023-10-28 13:03

Hmm, I suspect there are plenty of opportunities for him. ENCE, Heroic, NIP. Maybe even G2 if they go for some kind of a rebuild.

2023-10-28 13:04

I wish the best for gla1ve

2023-10-28 13:06

blud thinks its 2018 naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sorry bud, you done! Desperate post nt

2023-10-28 13:19

2023-10-28 14:13

are you?

me too, I was so ready when cs2 came out.. unfortunately I can't :(

2023-10-28 13:30

lol ok bro

2023-10-28 13:34

If Snappi is leaving then most likely scenarios are +Glaive, +kyxsan, +hampus etc OR ENCE does it again and gets someone who is somewhat unproven player.

2023-10-28 13:39

I think Hampus is done with IGL-ing… but yea if snappi gets bought gla1ve to ENCE feels like the right move

2023-10-28 15:02

Just spitting players who have been igling, not saying that everyone would fit to ENCE as igl.

2023-10-28 19:53

Hampus, dont make laugh

2023-10-28 15:07

translation: i need some money so sign me pls

2023-10-28 15:08

Man you should have a little more self-esteem, you are probably not stupid, no need to insult yourself

2023-10-28 15:37

truth hurts, you should visit some hospital to be able to survive

2023-10-28 15:39

I did already, saved me from a couple of things actually

2023-10-28 15:44

You clearly missed his point, referring to you saying that you dont have any brain yourself if that guy is the only one on hltv with one

2023-10-28 17:27

I aren't think that

2023-10-29 10:16

Falcons : gla1ve Magisk M0NESY NiKo BOROS Zonic

2023-10-28 13:54

Falcons : Niko m0nesy magisk dupreeh/s1mple gla1ve

2023-10-28 14:04

s1mple went on a break and extended contracts with Na'Vi, as for dupreeh he really doest qualify for a superteam like this one. Also BOROS is a crazy talent they already contracted why throw him away? PS : Im in Helsinki airport, boarding to leave in 10 minutes, really loved the city.

2023-10-28 14:49

Helsink deez nuts

How long and what did you do here in Finland? Did you try the local foods and what did you like the most?

2023-10-28 17:59

i heared heroic need an igl

2023-10-28 13:56

no org with ambitions would take him.

2023-10-28 14:02

Gla1ve actually would be interesting

2023-10-28 14:12

we will gladly welcome you in los kogutos

2023-10-28 14:19

But you washed bro. Legend. But washed.

2023-10-28 14:23

Brilliant, most danish and international teams would likely level up with this pick up

2023-10-28 14:27

gla1ve Magisk m0NESY NiKo +1 make that happen zonic, make that happen ! plz don't kill ENCE.

Gla0ve will ruin the team

2023-10-28 15:10

2023-10-29 00:51

If he is indeed motivated I really believe he can add a lot to a team… maybe Herioc

2023-10-28 14:47

really this washed up since 2020 0.9-rating-outdated-meta-igl want do something without dev1ce and goatnic?

msl 2.0

2023-10-28 15:14

GO HEROIC

2023-10-28 14:51

Idk men, just start from scratch again unless you have zonic in your back

2023-10-28 15:00

Nah dude, your time is done sadly

2023-10-28 15:01

Reminds me when politics talk before elections. But what we expect? He won't say "hey i am old and washed, please sign me" :D. Still imho for 2 years can be great IGL in any average tier1 team, have tonns of experience.

2023-10-28 15:06

Biden has it

if Snappi is really sold this can lead the squad again. May flop, but who knows.

GOAT has announced his arrival to CS2

Too little too late my friend.

2023-10-28 15:17

Interesting to see gla1ve IGLing in a international team.

2023-10-28 15:19

Heroic with Gla1ve is a good deal Gla1ve nd Drupreeh together Back

2023-10-28 15:22

Hope he can make some team a good competitor, cuz scene is so trash rn

2023-10-28 15:38

you will never reach past nvidia settings i mean greatness again so dont even try

2023-10-28 16:00

It would be nice to see glaive succeed with another roster, hopefully this break has helped

2023-10-28 16:18

G2 PLEASE

2023-10-28 16:20

Prediction: He's either going to Falcons, or to the team which Falcons "steal" their IGL off of. So possibly ENCE.

2023-10-28 16:38

He wanna be karrigan so bad lol :)

Doubt he wants to only have won 1 major

2023-10-28 17:30

HAHA

2023-10-28 17:35

Norb3rt 1 major therefore he is better than Niko,Guardian,Elige,NAF and many other player

2023-10-28 17:51

Ehm ok?

Karrigan is love, Karrigan Is life Say it!!!!

2023-10-28 18:18

I think you mean Gade

2023-10-29 10:47

Gade is god Karrigan is king Buzz is prince Btw im not even danish, and my obsession with danish players is completely on coincidence:)))

2023-10-29 11:00

So Falcons gonna be G1aive Magisk Boros S1mple Shiro S1mple talking about role switch to rifle would make room for Shiro on the awp

2023-10-28 17:32

no more the best cs when u are washed up just hang up ur mouse once and for all

2023-10-28 17:46

Heroic: OR Dupreeh (entry) Krimz (support) gla1ve (igl) Hampus (igl & lurker) Brollan (anchor) Brollan (entry) hampus (anchor & lurker) REZ (rifler) nawwk (awp) Nawwk (awp) Xizt (coach) Xizt (coach)

2023-10-29 00:00

that's C A P... CAP!

2023-10-29 00:35

Irrelevant washed one roster fraud who will never win anything without zonic, device, dupreeh and xyp9x. It’s actually insulting toward other great IGLs that some people try to call gla0ve “gOaT IGL”.

2023-10-29 02:00

Vita should’ve kicked botpex

2023-10-29 02:09

Falcons?.

2023-10-29 02:31

It's either Falcons or Heroic I guess.

2023-10-29 10:20

Go Heroic, I would love to see him, dupree and cadian back.

2023-10-29 11:02

My Boi is back to collect that oil money.

2023-10-29 11:31

Just let it go. It's done glaive

2023-10-29 12:11

glaive should build up something new from tier 2, he doesnt deserve tier 1 yet.

2023-10-29 18:55

Retire grandpa

2023-10-30 02:36

ITT: delusional people who still think can deliver on a tier 1 level (he couldn't perform for tier 4, let alone tier 4)

2023-10-30 08:16

Washed + no chin + nothing without zonic + retire already boomer

Love you glaive, but you chose to paycheck steal at the end of your career in CSGO, you finally being ready to play while untested and unknown skill currently isn't worth investing in during the chaos of CS2.
