Winning four Majors is no easy feat
Lukas Egholm Rossander, popularly known as gla1ve, is a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player from Denmark and the captain of Astralis. Regarded as one of the greatest leaders of all time, but it might not have happened given that his early career was rough and inconsistent to the point that he almost gave up. He played for nearly 20 different teams in the first four years of his career, one of which lasted just 20 days. Winning four Majors is no easy feat; while serving as an in-
game leader makes Gla1ve even more impressive Gla1ve began playing professionally in CS Source before making the switch to CS: GO when it was released by Valve in 2012. Astralis benched their IGL Finn & karrigan; Andersen in late 2016 and he sought to take his place. Although the roster had some success, there was still an opportunity for development. The greatest Counter-Strike squad ever began to rule the game when Emil Reif took over after Markus.

IEM Katowice 2019
In 2019 he secured the 8th spot on the HLTV Top 20 Players of the year.
Gla1ve is credited with developing the tactical system that led to Astralis’ success along with their coach Danny “zonic” Srensen.
In IEM Katowice 2019, Gla1ve led Astralis to their third victory over the Finnish squad ENCE. Therefore, the three fnatic players—Robin “flusha” Rönnquist, Jesper “JW,” and Markus “pronax” Wallsten—and the four Astralis players, excluding Magisk, are currently tied for the most significant victories. Following their second successive major triumph, Astralis was hailed as the greatest CS: GO team of all time.
The debate shifted from whether they were the best to how long they would remain at the top.
It is a credit to how well Rossander leads the squad that they have successfully manipulated rivals and defeated adversaries using more than simply superior mechanics. In the events that followed, they took up Major after Major. Making history for himself with three consecutive majors in a row.
