Kasper Hvidt, Director of Sports

- We have for a long time been in dialogue with Jan Ø. Jørgensen who brings invaluable experience with him from his professional badminton career. He is part of our performance team, focusing on individual players, where he initially focuses on Fortnite and ThomasHD, who is not far from the absolute top, says Kasper Hvidt.

- I have followed Astralis on the sidelines for several years and seen how the organization has moved an entire industry in terms of how one thinks of performance and culture. Their work fascinates me deeply, and through our ongoing dialogue, I can see myself thinking very similarly to how Kasper Hvidt thinks and works, states Jan Ø. Jørgensen.

- I have already started training with Jan, and even though we come from very different worlds, I am sure he, with his experience and a more structured approach to training and life as a player, will give me a lot, ThomasHD concludes.
