History
Astralis was founded in the January 2016 by members of Team Question Mark after they left Team SoloMid.[1] They have received an investment of several million Danish kroner from Sunstone Capital and the Danish entrepreneur Tommy Ahlers and are incorporating as Astralis ApS.[2] The organization is operated by RFRSH Entertainment, with players owning an undisclosed non-majority amount of equity. When founding member Rene 'cajunb' Borg transferred to Team Dignitas on May 19, 2016,[3] the team stated that he would keep a small portion of his shares in the company, but would no longer have an active role in day-to-day business.[4] On October 19, 2016 it was announced that Astralis had sold Finn 'Karrigan' Andersen to FaZe Clan[5] and on October 24 it was announced that Lukas 'gla1ve' Rossander had joined Astralis for an undisclosed fee.[6]
In February 2018, Emil 'Magisk' Reif joined the team to replace Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye who had left the team at the beginning of the month.[7] This move would be the beginning of a successful period for the team, which saw numerous tournament victories and a return to the top spot in the rankings.
