Zero1Gaming named Official Community Partner of Astralis

Zero1Gaming has signed an Official Community Partnership with Danish esports organisation Astralis, granting the platform exclusive rights to cover the team at events, conduct sit-down interviews with players and coaches, and co-produce content that will not appear on other outlets. The agreement is Zero1Gaming’s first major commercial partnership since its May 2026 launch.

Under the deal, Zero1Gaming can publish tournament reports and produced features featuring Astralis. Astralis will receive a dedicated media partner to expand coverage while the team goes through a roster change. Neither organisation disclosed the financial terms or the duration of the agreement.

Zero1Gaming put the partnership into action in June at the IEM Cologne 2026 Major, one of Counter-Strike 2’s largest events. The platform sent editorial staff to the tournament and published an interview with Filip “NEO” Kubski, Astralis’s newly appointed head coach, alongside a conversation with captain Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen about leadership and the roster’s direction.

Björn Norin, co-founder of Zero1Gaming, commented: “Astralis represents exactly the kind of organisation we want to build Zero1Gaming alongside. They are a brand with real history in CS2 and a community that knows it. This partnership gives us access to that scene from day one, and we are building it at the same moment they are building something new themselves. That makes it mean more.”

The partnership adds to Astralis’s commercial activity this year. Around five months earlier the organisation announced a deal with betting platform Stake and listed sponsors for IEM Cologne 2026 that include BenQ’s ZOWIE brand, Bazoom Group and Nordic electronics retailer Elgiganten A/S.

Neither Zero1Gaming nor Astralis has provided a schedule for future joint content or detailed when co-produced material will be released.
