Imagine making a career move in your best interest – and being called a snake. Imagine leaving behind a flagging roster just to see them succeed without you. Imagine going from being the youngest Major champion ever to being written off at just 21 years old.
Kjaerbye’s decision to leave Astralis for North was one of the most controversial CS:GO roster changes of all time – and between the memes, the disrespect and his quest for redemption, it continues to affect him to this day.

Still a snake
Sad
kjaerbye is the CSGO's Fly and vice versa
I don't think it was a tragedy,maybe a bad professional decision but he probably really felt that North was the team to go to.
If he's happy at North and keeps on playing at the highest level of the game he loves, I don't ser why it should be that much of a tragedy. The same can be said about Karrigan, he left Astralis and then the team won a major,he went to Faze to the "superteam",lost in the grand final,now he's in Mousesports and doesn' seems like a favorite to take the Major…
TLDR: Kjaerbye-1 Major/ Karrigan-0 Major
Kjarebye went bye
The question is would they be the best team in the world if he haven't left
JFC competitive csgo is the most autistic thing I've ever seen
Well that happened with karrigan when he left astralis too
So much hate on kjaerbye,i think we should respect his decisions.
the sad part of that "north highlight" winning that dreamhack had nothing to do with kjaerbye and it was just MSL going off the walls on the AWP and overperforming LUL
1:12 uhhhh he was never the best on astralis
so, he's like darth vader ?
im not csgo player so i dont really know the hype about csgo cinderella story hha, yall should come see cinderella story on dota too, team OG vs team EG. the emotion is real
Magisk made them the best team so what are you talking about hahahaha
He didnt abandon the best team in the world. He left Astralis when they werent doing very well. They only became the best team in the world a while after Magisk joined.
Scream oh nvm
Hey I guess he just wanted to be on a Team where he was the STAR PLAYER… props to him for not bitching about the decision and sticking onto it till now.
He had only 2 options
1. either stay in Astralis and maybe play under the shadow of dev1ce
2. or take a LEAP OF FAITH with north, just to see himself as the star, he always wanted to be.

and hey sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't..BUT THAT SHOULDN'T DISCOURAGE YOU FROM TAKING THAT LEAP OF FAITH…(I think Felps from MIBR also did something similar).
This Video is Completely Wrong Astralis With Kjaerbye Was Amazing Team Until The Major After They Won That Major Astralis Fell OF The Tree So He Left facts!
FLY?????
Got kicked when the guys found out he cheated , told him if you leave we wont go out with this
I don’t think winning a single tournament in like 2 years really means that he’s completed his goal. Weird spin to end the video with
Nope north biggest win is on immortals
Lol more like CareerBye
wondering if astralis kicked him out because hes too obvious. ?
it's like fly leaving OG.
Thought this was the story of Fly
Imagine be pro and play for FAKECROWD BTW
TOP 10 ANIME BETRAYALS
Thank you Kjaerbye.
-Magisk
Bad then I was shocked and like WTF? At this point tho I kinda feel bad for him, North is just…..really bad at the moment.
Nah. Magisk was one of the top aimers even before he became part of Astralis. He is basically what completed the team.
Imagine being Kjaerbye now. If he kill himself we're going to hold this video accountable xD
"I felt like I was the last piece of the puzzle"
Magisk: uno reverse card
The way you say Kjaerbye offends me ?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Kjaerbye The Shakey? I thought not. It’s not a story the Danes would tell you.
His contract ran out, he went elsewhere, Majisk made Astralis better. Life is a river that cannot run backwards… enjoy the flow
Magisk does the magic now
He looked like Taylor Lautner in the thumbnail anyone else think that?
i just want him back on a competing roster,
I guess Kjaer said bye
Kjaerbye move was similiar to Fly for OG .. they leave was blessing on disguise for the team but sad for them their former team found immediate succes when they leave. Astralis won bunch of trophies including 3 majors with magisk and OG winning a trophies that they been missing (The Aegis) not only once but twice in a row
k yeah bye
Oof
i think its one of the best thing to happen to astralis because with out him leaving i don’t think this team would be where it is today
The opening sequence applies to Fly and OG aswell LOL
Nobody:
Fly: Am I a joke to you??
Never understood the confusion. At the time he left, the writing was already on the wall, give it 3-6 months of the same or worse performance and kjaerbye would be the first on the chopping block from the astralis roster, it just made sense. He wasn't doing well at the time and he was the most replaceable piece they had considering the strength of the core three and the 4th being their IGL.
It's not very tempting to sign a new contract with an org if you know the majority of the time will be spent on the bench. The fact that he didn't tell them is probably because he is young and he wanted to think his decision through before he made it and keep his door to astralis open until he closed it himself. Probably didn't think of the long-term repercussions which is expected from an 18 year old kid.
Kjaerbye and dupreeh had a role clash and with him leaving it allowed dupreeh to be entryfragging which he always has been really good at. Dupreeh was a lurker when they had kjaerbye and wanted to change after a while
why does kjaerbye look different in every shot
