Two debuts

Pro League was the debut for the team's AWP'er, farlig, putting up a respectable performance in the 5 games, considering it is his first event with the team.

Pro League was also the debut of trace as Head Coach of the main Counter-Strike team. People watching the broadcast from home were witnesses to a loud, supportive coach giving it his all even when the team had their backs against the wall in some of the match ups.

Long road ahead

Before the team can even begin to think about a Grand Final, there are a long list of tough challenges ahead. Astralis' playoffs begin Wednesday, April 6, 15:30 CEST against Entropiq.
