The aim is to gain new talent without compromising on the existing first teams. Astralis plans to work with players between the ages of 14 and 20. Players new to the professional scene will benefit from the training program. The Talent team will be aided by the involvement of Astralis’ main counter strike squad as well.

The Talent Squad will be making use of the same facilities as the main squads in Copenhagen. The squad will also be participating in a multitude of regional tournaments. Dennis “VnG” Vang and Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen will be coaching the Talent squad.

Astralis’ Director of Sports, Kasper Hvidt stated that they had always thought about integrating a talent development program into their organization. “We finally feel we have the resources and facilities and we have gained a lot of experience, which we obviously did not have when starting out” he stated . Furthermore he stated that talent squads will not affect the size of the main CS roster. Atralis plans to integrate the Talent squad into the overall performance strategy eventually.

Astralis’ aim with the Talent Development program

Astralis intends for the training program to become a way of providing in house training to players. The organization will also have hte training program function as a recruitment platform. Budding players would be recruited onto their A-Team after training and development in the Talent squad. It isn’t a project that will give instantaneous results. However it does put the future of Astralis in good hands, with new talent always on deck primed to step up to the big leagues. The talent squad would also help players from the main roster keep their skills sharp. It helps players who have not been able to play for the main squad stay in shape.
