Zero1Gaming, an esports and streaming platform, has entered into a commercial partnership with Danish esports organisation Astralis, becoming the team’s Official Community Partner.
The deal grants exclusive tournament coverage, player interviews, and content the two sides will produce together. It is the first major partnership Zero1Gaming has signed since launching in May 2026.
Under the agreement, Zero1Gaming gets rights to cover Astralis at tournaments, sit down with its players for interviews, and co-produce content that won’t appear on other outlets. In exchange, Astralis gets a media partner building out coverage around the team as it goes through a roster change. Neither side has disclosed the financial terms of the deal or how long it is set to run.
Zero1Gaming has already put the partnership to work in June this year: The platform sent its editorial staff to the IEM Cologne 2026 Major, one of Counter-Strike 2 (CS2)’s biggest tournaments, where it published an interview with Filip “NEO“ Kubski, Astralis’s newly appointed head coach. The team also spoke with team captain Rasmus “HooXi“ Nielsen in a conversation about leadership and where he sees the roster heading.
Björn Norin, co-founder of Zero1Gaming, said, “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 new partnership deal isn’t the only major business development for Astralis this year. Around five months ago, the organisation announced a partnership with betting platform Stake. It also unveiled several sponsors for the IEM Cologne Major 2026, including BenQ Corporation‘s ZOWIE brand, Bazoom Group, and Nordic electronics retailer Elgiganten A/S.
