    Gla1ve's time with Astralis solidified his status as one of the most successful In-Game Leaders (IGLs) in the annals of CS:GO.

    Over the years, he clinched Major victories with remarkable consistency, amassing an impressive $1.88million solely from tournament triumphs.

    Undoubtedly, the zenith of his career unfolded during the stellar seasons of 2018 and 2019, making it a formidable challenge to envision him replicating such feats with a different team.

    As news of his departure circulates, speculation arises regarding potential suitors for the seasoned player. Among the frontrunners are Team Liquid and Team Falcons, both eyeing gla1ve to bolster their line-ups and bring his strategic prowess to their respective rosters.

    Gla1ve's journey in the competitive CS:GO scene commenced when he joined Astralis in his early twenties, having previously navigated through the ranks of various low-tier teams.

    His initial foray into the professional realm saw him don the colours of around a dozen different teams from August 2012 to October 2016, showcasing his determination and resilience.
