Former North players Kristou Aamand and Nicklas Jaro Rasmussen have signed with Astralis Talent, the youth division of Astralis CS:GO.

The pair will replace Frederik Fessor Srensen and Benjamin Brzer Jensen, who has already been signed by ECSTATIC, while Fessor looks for another squad to compete with. The changes in Astralis’ talent comes after the end of the fifth season of the WePlay Academy League, which means that Astralis finished 3rd in the quarter after losing to Team Spirit Academy in the finals.

Kristou is a 20-year-old rifler best known for his trip north during the year between May and July. Last year he was seen playing with the In the Breach. Jarko is the only competitor in the second biggest Danish competition from 2021.

Nicklas Jarko is 18 years old and has achieved his great skill by winning the Danish POWER Ligaen Championship, said Karsper Hvidt. Kristoffer is 20 years old. He plays several matches in both the AGF and the North against many of the best teams in the world. I believe these achievements are true.

Astralis Talent is a defined goal to develop players as teams and individually. We want Astralis Talent to be an internal recruiting platform with players who support our main team and become players who are not willing to play more at the same time either with us or with someone else.

Astralis Talent is looking forward to the next edition of the WePlay Academy League, a youth training course, while CS:GO’s youth squads will likely compete in online, tier two and tier three events.
