Astralis confirm Magisk return

1-9-2025 11:15

The veteran rifler will be taking stavn's place, who is taking a break from the team due to "personal circumstances."

Astralis have announced the return of Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif to the team, with Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund stepping back from the roster due to "personal reasons." The announcement confirms a recent report by HLTV.

Falcons bid farewell to Magisk

The move reunites Magisk with the organization he spent nearly four years playing for from 2018 to the end of 2021, and with whom he won three Major titles and a litany of further trophies.

The news comes amidst a turbulent time for Astralis as the organization was reported to be exploring a sale at the end of April, and later publicly released financial statements confirmed the storied brand was in some degree of trouble.

Media: Astralis exploring sale of organization and CS division

Said financial issues came to light amidst a backdrop of consistent underperformances by the organization's CS roster despite significant investment, with their repeated failures to qualify for Majors being the most damaging issue.

Falling stars: The timeline of Astralis missing five consecutive Majors

Astralis' fortunes on the server had taken a turn for the better since the addition of former Copenhagen Flames and G2 IGL Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen. The 30-year-old guided Astralis to second-place finishes at PGL Astana and FISSURE Playground 1, significantly boosting their VRS points total and thus chances to qualify for the next Major, StarLadder Budapest.

Results have soured slightly in recent weeks, however, with Astralis exiting IEM Cologne and Esports World Cup in joint-last place.

Magisk comes into the lineup to replace, at least in the short-term, stavn. stavn joined Astralis late in 2023 alongside Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard in a dramatic transfer saga, and Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda later told the HLTV Confirmed podcast that the double-transfer cost Astralis between $1.5-$2million.

stavn and jabbi share their side of Heroic-Astralis transfer drama in new statement

stavn, previously a four-time HLTV top 20 player, struggled to deliver on his reputation as a star rifler and would often go missing in important playoff matches, averaging a middling 1.06 rating during his time with the team.

HooXi reshuffled the roles soon after arriving in Astralis, switching stavn away from his "active" roles in favour of giving Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr more responsibility.

HooXi: "I think all roles fit the players better than before, but the transition will take some time"

Magisk arrives in Astralis following a near-two-year stint on Falcons, where he was benched in the recent player break to make way for young starlet Maxim "⁠kyousuke⁠" Lukin.

The Dane joined late in 2023 amid an overhaul of Falcons' roster that saw the arrival of Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer's ENCE core, but that lineup struggled to put together results in 2024 and another overhaul came at the end of the year.

The arrival of Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, along with the former HEROIC core, improved Falcons' efforts on the server and saw them win the organization's first trophy at PGL Bucharest, and later Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov arrived as Falcons sought to continue building a star-studded roster.

Falcons bid farewell to Magisk

For Magisk, however, the road with Falcons ended in the recent off-season as he made way for the arrival of young starlet kyousuke.

Astralis are now:

Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz
Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr
Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard
Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen
Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif

Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due (coach)

Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund (benched)
Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller (benched)

good bye and good riddance, stavn

0 chance they lose enough to drop out of the major cycle, it just doesn't happen all that often liquid still didn't although they've lost everything they could, they can just change 1 european into an NA talent to instantly qualify (as long as they play at least 5 vrs ranked games from now up until october cutoff date)

2025-09-02 00:27

How? With current prediction they are in stage 2 already? Unless they lose every possible match I dont see it hapoening

bc cadian will be there too and jabbi eventually for sirah

I know this is the internet. But be nicer and more considerate - he could be dealing with a death in the family. Sitting on our desk here typing away in anonymity eating donuts, we don't know. Astralis didn't work out for him - his level dropped - like so many other players. Hope stavn finds his peace and bounces back

stavn and jabbi and cadian WERE Heroic's peak! Heroic literally peaked as the #1 best team in the World with jabbi + stavn duo and Cadian at the helm! then disagreements and fights-- happens-- normal. These guys are young twenty-somethings, with so much to learn about life, business, so many mistakes to make.

2025-09-01 13:20

they wanted cadiaN gone and then signed to astralis when heroic literally listened to them i hate them for that at least stay at heroic

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA that mouth breather stavn deserves NO PEACE. Everywhere he goes he ruins it. Everything he touches turns to shit. Oh, and did I mention him and his gf are cheating scum? Rest in piss to those two bozos. I hope she isn’t a gold digger because McDonald’s doesn’t pay that much (she’s probably already linking up with blamef as we speak)

Yeah it definitely happened because the 100 pound “man” out rizzed swisher and not because the girl is a shallow scrape who cheats. Remember lil bro, once a cheater always a cheater. But you’ve probably never touched a woman so you wouldn’t get it

2025-09-01 16:53

Swishers skinnyfat body is prob less attractive than tall lanky body type for woman, I don’t think it’s the body that matters to her tiny bro. Let’s just keep it a buck, swisher prob wasn’t smashing her right, prob small peepee too. It fits the stereotype of Americans, but yeah let’s assume she’s just a serial cheater who will never be satisfied tiny bro

2025-09-01 16:59

Focusing on another man’s meat size is crazy. We all know that having great relationships with women ONLY relies on dick size. Which is something someone that’s never touched a woman would think. Are you by chance 15? Danes have never been known for their manliness so it’s fair I guess though

2025-09-01 17:01

I think ur the one focusing on meats too much since all I said was “prob small peepee too” as an additional thing only with not much weight to it tiny bro

I think u are making the rules up right now, expected from the type to look up such studies.

2025-09-01 19:19

"i dont make the rules" proceeds to explain imaginary rule that western euro women want americans cos they have higher testosterone, but i guess since u wrote i dont make the rules i should ignore everything else. Also Swishers ex was a teacher i think, im sure she enjoys her conversations with stavn much more than meathead swisher lol

2025-09-01 20:29

Hahahaha you really are stupid. And how smart can Steven be if he just got benched? Can’t hear you from our top 6 placement lil bro

Women can protect themselves against attacks from men in the us thanks to concealed carry. Can you say the same in eu? I can pull up a few headlines from recent times that show EU women are being attacked while eu men do nothing.

Dude, where do you get your statistics from? You wouldn’t be able to find a single study, that shows, that carrying decreases the amount of attacks on women. Sadly women are attacked all over the world. Looking at the worst countries, education, or lack there off, powerty and religious rule, seems to be the comon ground for them. Oh- and by the way, a study, detailing the 10 most secure countries for women to travel in, shows that 8 of the 10 are within EU. 👍

Theres no point in arguing with an american over gun laws bro. They are too idealogically brainwashed, they arent wise enough to realize that u can rationalize anything with logic, so they create logical argumentation that its a good thing thinking it actually means its good, but in reality they are just mega tunnel visioned. Its the same way Andrew Tate thinks and rationalizes everything

That’s because you live in Denmark, one of the safest countries historically. The us is so big that there are plenty of places that warrant concealed carrying. You’re coming from a place of privilege for not wanting guns and I don’t blame you for that, but I guarantee if you lived in the us and experienced some of the crime committed here by criminals with ILLEGAL guns would change your mind. Have you ever been a victim of a violent crime?

2025-09-01 21:14

The argument was never what place is safer. My argument is the EU is trending in the wrong direction. Also, the us is massive. There are plenty of areas that are just as safe as the eu

2025-09-02 00:25

Yeah and whos fault is that? America is legit in the abuse cycle, like an abusive family. U wont change because u have too many guns in circulation + u guys dont want to trust the state, so ur just gonna carry on eventhough u guys have like 1 school shooting a week on avg etc. Ur political system is poisoning the political discourse and its completely brainrotted now but u wont change the 2 party system still because its been going on for too long and its so fundamental i guess. Also we have illegal guns in circulation too. Even ive held one and im not even thuggin like that

2025-09-01 20:53

You should always question authority. The government here will never overstep their boundaries because they know the population is well armed. That’s one of the greatest parts of the US. True freedom of the people. The most universal language is violence, and our gov knows the people can speak it if we’re pushed there. However, in the eu you guys are completely at the mercy and will of the government. You have no actual free will and you’ll be perpetually cucked forever. Crime rates going up, your women being viciously attacked, and your children are being relentlessly groomed by gangs. And guess what? You can’t do shit about it. Can’t say the same here. God bless America

2025-09-01 21:00

I think u have a very toxic idea of what a 1st world government is

2025-09-01 21:06

Yes. You should always trust your government especially if their 1st world. As we all know your government definitely has your best interests in mind! That’s never went wrong! Haha what a naive take

Brother guns dont protect you from the government, they never have. They have much bigger ones and more bodies to throw at 'the people'. The 2nd amendment directly refers to a 'well regulated militia'. Private gun ownership has nothing to do with the constitution youre just brainwashed.

2025-09-04 17:45

He didn't say anything personal against Stavn. Stavn's impact on Astralis was nothing but negative, he's the worst star player out there unable to win 50-50 duel against T3 players. Stavn can only blame him self, I am sorry, but his aim looked atrocious. I know people throw this sentence lightly but this is for real - I look better after 10-15 minutes of aimbotz a day. I'd look 10x better if I had a coach, analyst and Hooxi who is IGL/coach/anayst/assistant all in one telling me other team's tendencies and where I should aim, come on... His aim looked like when kid is taking a piss outside. He was unable to deal with his weak side for such a long time, even too long which is likely pressure from Astralis to try to make some profit on his insane transfer cost. Right now Stavn is not worth 50k... No place for such player in a team that aspires to be T1. From a purely professional standpoint, he is right. I'd argue Stavn was the major piece that was holding Heroic back from winning.

2025-09-01 16:41

yes he can only blame himself -- but there's no need to pile onto him on the internet, sitting there eating bk whopper spilling mayonnaise on our keyboardS and grinding 19k premier later.... Staehr upped his game and because his performances were good he started taking Stauvn's roles. That hurt Stauvn's confidence even more -- so it was bound to happen. Also - magisk was one of the best players and most reliable anchor for Falcons during his time there. In the present circumstances this is quite an upgrade for Astralis. This doesn't mean Astralis will beat Vitality in the major final, but it is likely they will improve. Stavn achieved world #1 in his team. He's already accomplished alot.

He's is a massive scumbag, he backstabbed his teammate, then goes around and gets with a cheater. This guy deserves nothing but hate.

2025-09-01 20:19

what do you mean "gets with a cheater?"

his fucking girlfriend

2025-09-01 21:45

His current girlfriend was dating Swisher. They were together for a little bit and living together. Her and stack got together while she was at an ESL Impact event that was in the same place as one of the CS LANs. Sabotaged Swisher’s relationship and got with jkranny afterwards and they’re still together. Funny enough he’s never been the same player since. Jkranny also got dropped from her team after the incident.

how can people "love" that insecure GIGABOT i don't get

2025-09-02 21:31

i have a good intuition when looking at people (ikik, but just my thing), and i feel like jabbi not that far morally wise from stavn, but stavn is jsut more exposed to people. tbh dont really care that much about cadian kick, it was fucked up, but game is game

2025-09-01 12:03

Yup probably inside jabbi he's a worse person than stavn. And yes, game is game, the kicking cadian drama - I don't really care. What matters the most is does the team get better etc... At the end of the day it's a double L for each side.

2025-09-02 06:31

He already got the falcons bag, now he can do these charity things.

2025-09-01 12:24

would not have gotten falcons money for much longer anyways i imagine im more curious how astralis got the money to apparently buy him out when they were so close to almost done for so recently... lol

to faze

faze doesn't want this snake

2025-09-02 08:09

also now add blameF instead of jabbi and we cooking. Or maybe instead of hooxi magisk IGl. Lets see

I really wish we'd see the end of people going "yeah man ScreaM would make a great IGL because he can shoot and all that *Add goofy laugh*" A player really needs to have the drive for it to actually work. And even then most of the time it doesn't work like that (electronic,NiKo,allu, etc)

He was secondary caller, he did try to call before, and it is late into his career and maybe he sees how he can transition. You don’t know what magisk wants to do. Also why you bring scream into conversation ?

2025-09-01 11:35

I don't know whether magisk wants to be an IGL or not. That's the point. Haven't heard anything implying towards it. It's like people saying "hey yo m0nesy should become the igl and pick someone else with more firepower to the team. Perfect idea". Scream was just a random name that popped to my mind who can shoot. For reference. Secondary caller doesn't have anything to do with being an IGL. Secondary caller basically means "Hey guys I'm gonna go here and if I get the kill let's go A/B okay?" and then it all rides on whether he gets that kill or not. Or if he's lurking and hears someone rotate, he can call a rotate to that site. That's literally it and IGL makes all the decisions about the strats they use/where they're gonna end up during the round.

2025-09-01 12:21

Remind me what role was apex playing before igl ? Or chopper ? Or who is igl now in mous ? There is this thing called player progression in his career. If anything, magisk is already far ahead than apex or chopper or Brooklyn was in terms of actually having to think about the game. Magisk career is almost done. It’s either he extends it or just goes and plays tier 3 or retire. This is the only way he can keep his place at tier 1. So I don’t see why you have to bring irrelevant comparisons like monesy or scream to this point. Just because some people think that adding more firepower will work doesn’t mean that I am suggesting that.

2025-09-01 15:09

wp missing my point entirely. I didn't say it can't work. I said that the person would have to have the drive and talent to do it. Like apex and brollan did. And as I said before I haven't heard anything that magisk would want to IGL. Like blameF and Device ended up doing simply because there were no competent IGL's around and look how that went. Same with coldzera, pasha, neo, twistzz, Yekindar, allu, dude you name it and they've probably tried playing IGL and failed. The ones that landed on their feet are in a team playing as an IGL right now. There's a million players that tried being IGL and the only ones lately that have had some form of success has been brollan and.... maybe hunter? To be seen That's why people at hltv screaming "that players should play IGL" is outright idiotic. You don't know their circumstances, or if they'd be good at it or not. Nor do you consider that 99% of the ones who try it, fails at it miserably. And that's why there are so few IGL's on the T1 market available. Like it's actually funny how you had to pick apex, who's been doing it for like a decade and you can't even give me 5 examples who fall into that group (from a rifler/AWPer to a full time IGL)

1- apex 2- chopper 3-boombi4 4- brolan 5- hunter Literally top teams. Used to be top rifles transition into igl

2025-09-01 21:27

Truth be told I didn't even know that booml4 and chopper being anything else than IGL, but there was nothing top about them even if they were riflers prior, that much I do know. 13 years from the start of csgo alone and you needed 3 names that were already mentioned in this thread. Not great. Dude just check #116 this one in a million argument is like basing your future plans thinking that you're gonna win the lottery

2025-09-01 21:34

and it should be obvious why. the players with the best mechanics grind mechanics a lot. IGLs have to do so much shit that isn't really playing the game their mechanics always suffer. you take a scream type player and make him IGL and he won't be a scream type player any more. karrigan used to be a starfragger. yekindar used to be a starfragger before turning IGL and BOT. device used to be "Mister Consistent" dropping many 25-30 bombs in early CS2 before he tried IGLing. we've seen this play out dozens of times, yet people never learn.

2025-09-01 14:04

My point exactly

2025-09-01 14:28

absolute braindead take gotta be bait...

2025-09-01 14:55

Rip stabbi

why isn’t Astralis bankrupt yet btw

maybe they managed to find an investor (s?)

New gambra sponsorship plastered on the jersey incoming

probably they got some more found injection, since the sticker money looks very likely

2025-09-01 11:24

Denmark has a thing where they are a part of every company. Chances are that Astralis was able to get government to help them out on account of being a youth oriented program and a big brand. Governments help out big clubs all the time, give them enough wine and games and they won't rebel... If Astralis was to go belly up then Danish CS would officially dead. I have 0 doubts that Danish government would try to stay on top of that.

2025-09-01 16:44

lawl nice

Downfall of Asstralis starts here and i'm in the front row xD

2025-09-01 11:21

There is a real chance that this is a good upgrade

idk i don't car about this team

2025-09-01 11:34

then why talk abt front row??

2025-09-01 14:56

this finna be good, trust

2025-09-03 15:42

Astralis back to actual likeable imo. I was never a jabbi hater.

Did stavn stole yo girlfriend?

2025-09-01 11:53

You like him?

Did Putin attacked your country?

2025-09-02 06:34

Australis likeable lol people forget shit way too fast

2025-09-01 12:43

obviously the roster, not the org

2025-09-01 13:32

they still have 50% of stabbi and Nicolai "package-loss-on-my-dev1ce" Reedtz tho

2025-09-01 17:53

Astralis L org = people have to hate device and hooxi? Falcons L org = people have to hate niko and monesy and kyosuke? Liquid L org (picking player wise) = people have to hate twistzz?

2025-09-02 06:33

xaxaxaxaxa nursing home

2025-09-01 11:22

Due to "personal circumstances" AHAHHAHAAHA what a joke PR move

leave PR out of this

2025-09-01 13:18

Stavn to gamerlegion

big w

W, also nice meme on the unfit to play 8/8

Astralis is so damn back

2025-09-01 11:25

"personal circumstances" (being put in prison for stabbing too many people)

still Tier 3 team

absolute fucking legend. Astralis is on the comeup and I believe the Magisk signing will make them a better team

how is jabbi gonna survive without his bro

after 1 month he defo will leave due to "personal reasons"

2/5

@Blade, why is Magisk not joining NAVI??

no more roles clash gj

2025-09-01 11:33

"Personal circumstances" cut this bullshit Astralis, first br0vid, then this. Have a balls for at least once and call things their names

No, it's actually for real personal reasons this time. Device stole his girl

2025-09-01 11:36

W devve. Wasn't too hard as well probably

Could you imagine Steven trying to press someone for flirting with his scrape of a gf? That would be like an undersized 13 year old trying to act tough

2025-09-01 11:41

Swisher could qualify for Blast London later and Stavn benched? nice week for him.

2025-09-01 12:23

Now only need Glaive Xyp9x and Dupreeh :Clueless:

2025-09-01 11:42

what a time to be alive

2025-09-01 11:46

last chance for them I guess

2025-09-01 11:47

gla1ve, xyp9x, dupreeh....... ASSEMBLE 🛡️🏃🏻🔨

2025-09-01 11:52

Fuck yeah, lets hope he is eternally gone

Lets go Emil 😁 one of the best ever riflers (and awper too) to touch the game, and 4 time major winner. A dream for many.

2025-09-01 11:54

the streets will forget

2025-09-01 11:56

fuck stabbi😂

2025-09-01 11:58

the best danish player rn excluding TeSeS

2025-09-01 12:01

Finally, good news for Astralis! Come on, Magisk! Let's show the guys how to do it!

back to financial difficults for Astralis then, this won't have been cheap and no guarantee of it returning prize money.

2025-09-01 12:04

cadian and stavn now both on the bench, kinda poetic but jabbi is missing

2025-09-01 12:07

dunski cs, hope astralis would be great again.

2025-09-01 12:08

I think both Jabbi and Staehr will benefit from this. Watch Australis go top 5 at the end of the year!

2025-09-01 12:15

Personal reasons would be to steal another players gf

2025-09-01 12:19

isn't stavn like better than jabbi?

Jabbi is the aimbot of the team

2025-09-01 14:59

Don't be surprised when astralis makes Budapest grands

"personal circumstances"

2025-09-01 12:32

bye stavn, one of the players of all time

Retirement home

2025-09-01 12:45

jL created a new meta. Players do not get kicked anymore, everyone is just taking a break

2025-09-01 12:51

br0 was first

2025-09-01 13:07

Time for his 4th Astralis major

2025-09-01 12:59

"I'm going to leave the team, win a major, then rejoin so I have the same amount of majors as the boys", he once said. Welcome back, Magisk. Now you and device both have 4. Go get that 5th!!!

2025-09-01 13:10

Only way to get that 5th is to bring back the gla1ve. And Dupreeh

2025-09-02 08:28

dupreeh is retired and gla1ve is washed. I still have belief gla1ve could turn it around, but he needs to maybe go to a team like ecstatic and show he can do the same hooxi did with cph flames.

2025-09-02 09:46

His real home with device

wishing the best to magisk hope he can safe them from being b tier lol

2025-09-01 13:12

GL magisk, hope you return bring the glimps of old days back and you prove to the haters you still have the anchor skills for tier 1 <3

2025-09-01 13:26

LFG

jL style quit, "no i didnt get kicked, i wanted to quit myself trust"

2025-09-01 13:46

please just wait for fallen's retirement to reunite the complete lineup again...

2025-09-01 13:47

Astralis got so many fans backkk, Goodluck goatgisk

2025-09-01 13:58

personal reasons - has he started choking IRL?

2025-09-01 13:59

thank god

Great to get Magisk into the team. The perfect teammate (Magisk) is going t o play with the perfect teammate (Staehr). Cheerful, happy, and seemingly immune to tilting, kind of similar to staehr in his mentality.

2025-09-01 14:47

stavn with top5 most deserved downfalls

astralis is back

2025-09-01 15:00

Oh wow, they might actually win a game

2025-09-01 15:04

Bringing the stabbi chapter to an end

2025-09-01 15:14

Sign Xyp9x as coach!

2025-09-01 15:20

hopefully Astralis somehow stays competitive in the scene

2025-09-01 15:35

I feel like this could be a good move. Just before taking kyuosuke, Magisk showed good numbers. But Falcons were soo honey greedy for kyuosuke they beched a key role. So as role wise might be good.

2025-09-01 15:56

Been a great week for swisher lmao

2025-09-01 16:10

My goat is back.

2025-09-01 16:14

Lets Gooooo the Goat is back.We are going to the stars!

2025-09-01 16:18

welcome home <3

2025-09-01 16:50

nice!

justice for swisher, f skeletavn

Sta is now gone, only -bbi remains, I will have my revenge - CadiaN, probably

Finally stabbi is gone. Huge dirtstain on anotherwise decorated team.

2025-09-01 17:41

lol gg astralis

2025-09-01 18:18

Stabn gone but stabbi remains. In before "personal reasons" are -jabbi +cadian.

2025-09-01 18:37

if magisk can perform this is good upgrade

2025-09-01 18:33

Welcome home

2025-09-01 18:42

Personal reasons but also due to being shit.

2025-09-01 19:11

Get well, stavn

2025-09-01 20:41

I really do hope it's only temporary, because the way Magisk played in Falcons was not only bad because he couldn't compete against the best aim-wise, reaction time-wise and stuff, but a lot of the time you were just head in hands watching how many mistakes he makes in positions where those mistakes are just unforgivable, I really think Astralis is gonna take a big hit, I struggle to see this team compete, the player material on this team is insanely poor, the era in which having Magisk and dev1ce in your team sounds impressive is long over, it's sad.

2025-09-01 23:22

It's not temporary obviously and I assume it's a free signed - not sure the "released from contract" is a buyout or expired. I do think he deserve a second chance in lower tier 1.

2025-09-02 06:36

I think he deserves a shot in a team like ECSTATIC, go there, show you can perform still, and then earn your way back to Tier1, he doesn't deserve to wear Astralis jersey after his stint in Falcons in my opinion, I really do think people are forgetting how bad he was because he had an ok Major.

2025-09-03 18:24

> Kyousuke > “Starlet” wut

2025-09-02 00:38

just give it up magisk ffs

2025-09-02 02:15

big

2025-09-02 04:23

big glaive when

2025-09-02 06:30

yoooooooo

2025-09-02 07:55

Enjoy the bench with Cadian. You nerd

2025-09-02 12:44

2025-09-02 13:56

All astralis merch is 50% off in their webbshop. Org gonna go bye bye?

2025-09-02 19:16

suddenly 10000 times more likeable

2025-09-02 20:48

Astralis is so back. This is where it starts

2025-09-03 06:00

I think he has alot to give and rhat late falcons time is not what he’ll look like a couple months in the team. But I thought the roles he usually plays overlap more with staehr and jabbi, is staehr the next one to be replaced then?

2025-09-03 13:59

Stavn where? Liquid?

2025-09-03 15:17

Magisk on top of being a decent player and a legend was in falcons for a while he could help hooxi cook counter-strats to negate falcons Methinks upgrade

2025-09-03 18:43
