This Thursday Astralis revealed Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen as their new Head Analyst, with him being just one of three new faces in the performance team the last month.
It’s no secret for the common Counter-Strike fan that HUNDEN has a questionable past in CS:GO. With several scandals under his belt, which you can get the full overview of right here, the former Heroic coach surely arrives with a heavy backpack.
– It has been a long process, and there have been many things we had to discuss with my role and everything I have been through, HUNDEN says and continues: Now I’m just happy it’s all in place, and I already feel how much it means to me to be up and running and to have talented people around me who trust and support me.
You can read the rest of his statement down below.
– Astralis is something special in Denmark, and having seen it all from the outside with the enormous support the team has always received, it feels great to be a part of it all.
– casle [Astralis coach], the team, and I have started the work to get roles, structure, and playing style in place. Even though I’ve only worked with the guys since Monday, and it takes time to get used to each other, there is a good dynamic in the group, and the quality of the players is obvious. We may not win the first big tournament, but the more we build on the foundation, the better we prepare and stick to the agreements, the stronger and more consistent we become as a team. Then the results will eventually come. That is the focus now, HUNDEN states in the press release.
