|content=[[Companies/Astralis|Astralis]] has announced that co-founder Nikolaj Nyholm is stepping down from his position as CEO but will remain a board member. Jakob Hansen, the former CFO, will assume the role of interim CEO.

This change comes after a series of controversies that have plagued the Danish team over the past year. Issues arose concerning the transfers of Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard and Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund from HEROIC in late 2023, and the team faced significant criticism for using Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller as an emergency substitute during the BLAST Fall Final.
