Astralis is teaming up with Stake, bringing them on as the org’s official betting partner. The partnership promises exclusive content, VIP experiences, and more for Astralis and Counter-Strike 2 fans.
Astralis CS2 and Stake
In the past, Astralis used to field multiple rosters across several titles, including League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and Fortnite. Now, though, only their CS2 division remains.
Nonetheless, the Astralis CS2 squad is nothing to scoff at. Astralis is a top roster worldwide – currently ranked #12 at the HLTV rankings. They are currently competing in the ESL Pro League Season 23 Stage 1, and their most recent results include 9th at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 and 7th at IEM Kraków 2026.
The org also holds game-wide records, like being the #1 ranked team in the world for 406 consecutive days and a 31-match win streak on LAN.
Stars Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz and Martin “stavn” Lund have both departed the organization. Despite this, Astralis’ legacy is still very much alive.
According to Stake, its partnership with Astralis has a shared goal: “to support sustained excellence in Counter-Strike 2.” They vow to strengthen fan engagement while encouraging fans to follow the team through the Stake Sportsbook. This will have exclusive content, VIP experiences, and resources for regular patrons of esports betting sites.
The online casino bolsters Astralis, and this is evident in the big Stake logo that now adorns the team’s jersey. “Astralis has long stood for preparation, professionalism, and innovation – values that align naturally with Stake’s commitment to elite competition. As a brand deeply embedded in the Esports industry, Stake recognises the importance of supporting organisations that continue to raise the bar both online and offline,” Stake wrote.
After the ESL Pro League Season 23 Stage 1, Astralis will compete in PGL Bucharest 2026 in April, then IEM Atlanta in May.
