What’s next for Farlig?
The Astralis AWPer is now set to find a new CS:GO home after being replaced by device.
Professional Counter-Strike can, like every other sport, be a cruel business. One day you be competing alongside your teammates doing what you love, and the next day you’ll find yourself on the bench unable to compete.
Someone who has experienced this is Asger “farlig” Jensen from Astralis. The 23-year-old AWPer has just been sent to the sideline following Astralis’ signing of the superstar AWPer Nicolai “device” Reedtz this Thursday.
Kasper Hvidt, Director of Sports at Astralis, confirmed the benching of farlig in a statement today where he also praised farlig for his services in the team.
-It is important for me to emphasize that Asger "farlig" Jensen, who is now replaced by Nicolai, is a talented, loyal, and hard-working player, who has done everything he could to help the team. There are not many Danish players who would immediately take over the role and we have already started the work to find a good solution so that he can continue his development
It stands quite clear that farlig’s days at Astralis are set to be numbered with the above-mentioned quote. Furthermore, Hvidt has confirmed to Dust2.dk that the former FPX player won’t play for the organizations’ academy team Astralis Talent.
Where farlig would land next is still unknown. But a plausible solution could be to follow the footsteps of Phillip “Lucky” Ewald, who suffered the same fate on Astralis earlier this year. He decided to go down the ladder and join the lower-tier Tricked, being the team, he represented before joining Astralis.
We conclude this article with a quote from farlig which he gave to HLTV In July this year.
If device comes back what the fuck can I do about it, right? It is what it is, all I can do is play the games that I'm going to play
