Kjaerbye retires at age 23
The former Major MVP has decided to say goodbye to professional Counter-Strike.
Another Major winner has announced his departure from the competitive CS:GO scene.
The former Astralis player Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye announced his decision on Twitter.
- It is with a heavy heart, I am writing this, but as of right now, I have no longer the hunger and determination it requires to compete on top level, the 23-year-old Dane writes.
Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye ignited his CS:GO career with his move to Astralis in 2016. Here he won the ELEAGUE Major in Atlanta where he was named MVP as the youngest player in history. His career slowly started to decline after his shock move to North in 2018.
He played on FaZe until the start of 2021 where he was benched. Lately he was involved in the creation of a new team called HYENAS, but the team never took off, and have yet to land a sponsor.
