- We have actively supported the people of Ukraine since the beginning and have previously raised money for Amnesty International's efforts in the region. We have a great relationship with NaVi and its people, so we accepted their invitation without hesitation when we were asked last week.
- Our players were eager to participate, and the fans can expect Counter-Strike in a unique setting, with players in a context that, despite the serious cause, will be very entertaining to watch.
- Esports is a global culture that reaches far beyond the servers and players, and we at Astralis are very aware of the impact it can have. We're looking forward to revealing more, Steen Laursen concludes.
