About Astralis
Owned by Astralis Group Management ApS, Astralis holds the record as the first eSports franchise to be publicly listed after its listing on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in December 2019. According to the latest financial reports from the company, Astralis' net revenue for the 2021 fiscal year was around $10 million (approximately KSh 1,077,000,000), a 45% increase from the previous year.
Astralis teams
Astralis kicked off in CS:GO but sasa has branched out. By 2025, the squad fields teams in:
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- League of Legends (LoL)
- Fortnite
- FIFA
- Rainbow Six: Siege
Originally Astralis picked up RFRSH Entertainment’s CS:GO and LoL rosters, then snapped up Future FC’s FIFA squad and Disrupt Gaming’s Rainbow Six: Siege team. The Fortnite crew came onboard in 2021 with pro Th0masHD leading the charge, repping the battle royale game. Now all five decks rock the black-and-red kit and Astralis logo.
Astralis' strongest game: CS:GO
When it comes to CS:GO, Astralis is downright legendary. After bagging RFRSH’s lineup—cajunb, Xyp9x, karrigan, dev1ce and dupreeh—and with zonic on tactics, they went on a tear. Coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen even scooped Best Esports Coach at The Games Award 2020. With four CS:GO Majors and 20+ major trophies, Astralis is heavy on the odds boards for any CS:GO matchup.
Other top Astralis squads
Beyond CS:GO, watch out for the FIFA side—Stephanie “Teca” Luana just became the first woman to crack FIFA’s Challenger Mode, making her a proper fan favourite thanks to growing female rep in FIFA. Plus, Andrei “Xerxe” Dragomir is back in the LoL jungle ahead of the LEC Summer Split, and Vizicsacsi adds more muscle.
Why Astralis is popular with Kenyan bettors
Achana na mimi—here’s why locals bet on Astralis:

- Social reach: Millions of followers across Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube and Instagram keep them buzzing in Kenya’s growing esports live scene.
- Top partnership: Astralis teams up with UNIBET—local punters on Betika and SportPesa often spot UNIBET markets first, so Astralis odds pop up early.
- Football fever tie-in: Kenya’s mad about football and the EPL, so FIFA eSports matches get tons of love alongside CS:GO.
- Betting culture: Sports betting, lotteries and virtual sports are huge here, and Astralis fits right in on all those markets.
