“The end of the Spring Split in the LEC also means the end of a year and a half of collaboration” announcement Astralis in a simple tweet this Thursday noon. The Danish organization terminates the contracts of two important players from its League of Legends roster, a radical conclusion to a catastrophic first part of the season for the structure in the European championship. With a final defeat against Vitality a few days ago, Astralis ends the split on 17% of winrateonly three wins, and one last place in the standings.

For leaders, the reason seems to have two names: support Hampus Mikael “Promisq” Abrahamsson and toplane it Matti “WhiteKnight” Sormunen. The two players had arrived at the 2020-2021 off-season transfer window. Confirmed in the team at the start of this season, they had been kept on to supervise the newcomers then that the team saw off Jeskla and MagiFelix.

In a press release, Astralis announces that it will allow its players to “explore new options” but will no longer have a future within the team.

WhiteKnight and promisq have been a big part of Astralis’ first-ever roster in League of Legends and our team for the past year and a half. We thank them for their contribution and dedication to Astralis and our League of Legends team. On the server, in the office, and as part of the Astralis family.

Precise Astralis that they will announce a new roster for the Summer Spit when “everything is in order”.
