Media: Snappi and Falcons reach verbal agreement; ENCE eye gla1ve as possible replacement

gla1ve has been on Astralis' bench since June, when he was replaced as in-game leader by Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer and on the server by Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr. That benching ended a 734 map stay for gla1ve with Astralis, a partnership during which the Danes ascended to becoming the best team of all time.

"The last 7 years have been a life-changing journey," gla1ve said on Astralis' website ."I will always remember Astralis as the greatest team I've ever had the honor of playing for. A family that has always been there for me, the fans, the team working behind the scenes day and night, and of course all my teammates with whom I've shared blood, sweat, and tears with throughout the years."

The organization also paid credit to their old captain, pointing to the "four Majors, an endless string of tournament wins, holding the longest run on top of the world rankings, and being one of those who forever changed the way CS:GO was played," before acclaiming him as the "best in-game leader of all time."
