Gla1ve has also issued a statement in regard to leaving the team, adding: "What we achieved and experienced as a team is something I'll never forget. It feels like saying goodbye to a family that has always been there for me, so a big thank you to the fans, the crew working tirelessly behind the scenes, and the teammates I've gone through thick and thin with in Astralis!"
