At the end of the week, several sources shared information with HLTV portal that Danny «zonic» Sorensen, who serves as the lead coach of Astralis, may leave the organization in a few months, after his contract expires One of the sources mentioned that recently there have been many disagreements between zonic and the rest of the participants, and the coach is largely disappointed with the direction in which the team is developing now.
The contracts of the four Astralis players expire at the end of the year, and if the management of the cybersports organization fails to reach an agreement with them to continue their cooperation, they will be able to move to another team from January 1 next year. Another member, Lukas «Bubzkji» Andersen, will remain with the team for a longer period of time, as he signed a two-year contract with the Astralis in July 2020.
In addition, the same sources said that the Astralis are already planning lineup changes for next year, with Nikolaj «HUNDEN» Petersen topping the list of the most likely candidates for head coach. The latter had been working with Heroic since April 2020, but was suspended for using a coaching bug between September 2020 and April 2021.
