Week 47 (November 20 - November 26) will surely go down in Astralis history as one of the busiest weeks ever. Others have Black Week; we could easily say we have a BLAST week ahead of us.
As previewed last week, the brand-new Astralis documentary Behind The Stars has been released on the official Astralis YouTube channel.
It delves into how the team copes with the immense pressure of being a part of one of the world's most renowned Counter-Strike brands. The documentary captures everything—the ambition, the exhilaration, the significant highs and lows—from the energetic initial meetings at the start of the year to the heartbreaking disappointment of missing the final CS:GO Major. This is a unique documentation of all aspects of Astralis, encompassing the main team, the players, coaches, management, and staff, like never before.
After reliving the past year through the documentary, you can direct your focus towards the official Astralis Shop and get your hands on the brand new Astralis Jersey.
While waiting for your Astralis Jersey to be shipped, Benjamin "blameF" Bremer and his troops face the North American squad Complexity at 19:00 CET on Wednesday, November 22nd, in their BLAST Fall Finals 2023 opening match.
If you're expecting to see the Danes at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, it is required that they will end as one of the top three teams in their group, which also consists of Vitality, Heroic, and Complexity.
The winner of each group directly qualifies for the semi-finals on Saturday, November 25th, while numbers two and three advance to the quarter-finals on Friday, November 24th.

Even without the main team in the semi-final, and though we still have our fingers crossed, there are multiple events for an Astralis fan to attend on Saturday, November 25.
At 10:00 CET, you can attend the Astralis Fanzone at the Field's shopping center, where you'll be able to buy the brand-new Astralis Jersey, try a wheel-of-fortune, test your reactions, win prizes, and, in general, get ready for a fantastic day at the Royal Arena.
In addition to that, the first 50 people who show up receive a goodie bag.
About three hours later, at 12:45 CET, our official fan club, DanishCorner, leads the way to the Royal Arena with a fan march.

If you can't attend the events, fear not - you can catch most of the action at Astralis Watch, where we'll live stream with Frederik "ministerN" as host.
Together with the Danish Red Cross, we're also hosting an event with volunteers and youths.
Elsewhere in Copenhagen, the Finals of our tournament, in collaboration with STARK, Håndværker CS, take place at Astralis Nexus on Saturday.
Astralis Nexus also invites everyone to participate in viewing parties throughout the weekend, meaning you can cheer for the Danes alongside other fans in the perfect facilities.
Hopefully, this busy week, filled with all the fantastic events mentioned above, will culminate in an absolute BLAST ... And who knows, we might have some other news up our sleeves.
