Astralis is considered the best team in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive esports history. With his contract set to end in late 2021, Xyp9x will have to make a difficult decision. If he decides to leave, it will be a massive loss when you consider that Nicolai ‘dev1ce’ Reedtz also left in 2021.

The Danish org is filled with talented players but everything changed when dev1ce left earlier in the year. He decided to turn to team Ninjas in Pyjamas because he had a prior relationship with the team ever since he moved to Sweden. This has led to speculation that the other players on the team are leaving as well.

Xyp9x, Peter ‘dupreeh’ Rasmussen and Emil ‘Magisk’ Reif’s contracts will expire at the same time but Xyp9x is the only one that has addressed the rumours. They have been the best CSGO team in the world from esports Canada to Asia.

The 25-year-old fragger has made sure to fire up speculation about his spot on the roster because he is open to other offers. He is in talks with Astralis for an extension but he is not ruling out a move away because he wants to maximize his negotiation power.

Astralis would be devastated if he leaves

Known as the ‘Clutch Minister’, Xyp9x has a special impact on how Astralis plays the game. They are a talented team but they shine when they have to deal with pressure from the opponents. Clutch plays are a regular occurrence with this team and Xyp9x is the most prolific player in that department.

He will always be relied upon to be the last player alive during clutch situations and he will most likely make the big play and win the round for his team. That kind of skill is valuable to any team in CSGO and if Astralis loses him, he will be a massive acquisition for the side that signs him.

The Danish org has not done well ever since dev1ce left for NiP. Even Xyp9x admits that it was a decision that made a difference since he still saw the team winning tournaments if dev1ce stayed. Unfortunately, results have not returned to where they once were and now, it has made Xyp9x think about his future with the org.

Cryptic info leads to speculation

Since Xyp9x is not ruling out either a return to Astralis or an exit from the team, this has led to speculation about his new team. He has even addressed the rumours that he might be signing with FaZe Clan.

He said, ‘FaZe? There are lots of rumours. There have been some talks with some teams, but I can’t go into detail about it. I’m looking for a team that is professional and has the experience to take the last steps to be among the best’.

Whatever Xyp9x decides to do, it will have big implications for the future of the CSGO scene from esports Canada to anywhere else in the world.
