The Danish CS:GO player Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke recently lost his professional contract with Team Astralis. Initially, it was said that this was due to personal circumstances. Then the player shared his story and revealed a brutal fight in Malta.
The Danish professional team Astralis recently announced that they are parting ways with their player “k0nfig”. k0nfig was part of a professional team in Counter Strike: Global Offensive, playing tournaments at the highest level in Europe.
Both sides agreed to a contract termination and expressed their regret over the separation. However, this fueled rumors. How did the separation come about?
Although k0nfig did not want to talk about it, the pressure was apparently too great, and he eventually shared his story. The trigger was reportedly the aftermath of a fight in Malta.
Player Injured and Psychologically Distressed After Fight
What happened? k0nfig wrote a TwitLonger about the situation (via twitlonger.com) and shares his side of the story. For him, the whole thing was extremely mentally stressful. He feels “anxious” and “broken”. It was “the hardest time of my life”.
k0nfig also suffered physical injuries. He could not leave Malta at first because doctors saw a risk that he might lose his eyesight.
However, for him, the psychological effects of the fight were the trigger to leave his team. He can hardly sleep, has nightmares, and relives a critical moment of the evening over and over.
What happened on the night of the fight? k0nfig was playing a tournament in Malta and lost with his team. The next day they were supposed to go home, so k0nfig and the team wanted to celebrate a little.
After some bars, the group ended up in front of a nightclub. k0nfig got something to eat, while the others in the celebratory crew went into the club. When k0nfig arrived back at the club, he asked a person at the entrance if he could also go in.
The person said it was his club and that k0nfig was just a “tattooed loser”. However, for 5,000 euros he would let him in.
k0nfig says the person seemed very aggressive, and he felt humiliated. He then called the person a “loser”. For that, k0nfig was spat on and kicked in the face. He fell down the stairs and was shocked by the situation.
k0nfig then sat down on the sidewalk nearby. After a while, he spotted the person again, trying to leave the nightclub quickly. k0nfig writes that he should have let it go. But he couldn’t.
He followed the person and threatened to call the police. After a verbal altercation, a fight broke out.
k0nfig reports that the person broke his leg, which is why he went down. The person then did not stop and continued to kick him. k0nfig somehow managed to throw his opponent to the ground and stop further kicks.
He writes: “I was afraid I would die. I remember feeling as if I was observing my own body from above, lying there”.
What happened next? k0nfig was taken to a hospital in Malta. For him, it was extremely stressful that he could not just go home to Denmark, to his doctors, to his family.
