This article did a wonderful job of chaining together a bunch of known info about Astralis and BLAST, including much I had missed as an active fan over the past six years.
One interesting new “reveal” from the article is this:
> Not long after that at the Fall Groups Heroic ran into visa issues for their newly acquired AWPer Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov, forcing them again to use their coach Eetu “sAw” Saha in their games. They were denied despite extenuating circumstances. It is also worth noting that it is a matter of public record that in this case complaints were made by other BLAST partner teams that were never publicly named. I’d urge you to have a guess at who one of those teams might be.
