Congratz to both parties! Although I also didnt know about that team. As this seems normal the pick up already seemed to pay off for them :D

Nice to see an increasing number of organisations investing in SC, but still, this isn't going to feel like a team until they pick up another 4 or 5 players

Amon Havers – Managing Director of Asterion:

“The moment I shaked hands with Kevin after signing the contracts I couldn’t be more proud. For Asterion this is the biggest step we have taken thus far. We are determined to grow even bigger in the Starcraft scene by adding more talent to our roster in the near future.”

Exciting news all around, good luck to Asterion & Harstem.

Investing in Sc2?? :D:D:D

Well he can hope when he gets paid what they promise, i think sc2 is dead when even a good player in Europe goes into a random team.

Yeah, but I feel good about this since it seems to be a homegrown team and he met them in person.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

He got scammed in the past with Invasion so it is understandable that fans are a bit skeptical when he joined an unknown/new team. But they look nice and legit so I would give them the benefit of the doubt.

Congratulations and good luck to both parties.

As Harstem puts it on reddit:
You guys shouldn't be worried this time around. I made sure to do my homework and they have some really strong financial backing.

Optimism, go! Though I'm not a fan of G2A.

Happy to answer all questions people have about Asterion!

Quote of my Reddit posts since I've seen some doubts there as well:

"Hi there both, wanted to leave my own reply here to give you some more background info about Asterion and myself.
As GrimSC2 mentioned Asterion is founded by Taco Zimmerman, Thomas Duitsch, Tim Beudel and Amon Havers (me). We are all expierenced in a part which an Esports organisation needs.

Taco Zimmerman: Founder and owner of Tuvalu Media, one of the biggest TV Production houses in The Netherlands.

Tim Beudel: Co-Founder and Managing Director at AGE Network, a YouTube Multi-Channel Network with over 400.000.000 monthly views.

Thomas Duitsch: Former Counter-Strike Pro, he's analyzing games now together with some of his ex-teammates.

Amon Havers: Original founder of AGE Network and now in charge of sponsorship / Branded content sales for both Asterion and AGE Network's YouTube Creators.

Both AGE Network and Tuvalu Media help backing up Asterion to create more stability, this way we can actually keep up with our growth and sign bigger talents such as Amsah and Harstem.

G2A and Cooler Master are both no longer our sponsors, we are currently negotiating new terms with other companies (and before you worry, no grey market places).

I think it's important to provide transparency to everyone about the organization. In case you do have other questions be sure to hit me up here!"

"Founded by Amon Havers, Taco Zimmerman, Tim Beudel and Thomas Duitsch Asterion came to life in 2015..."

They have a CS:GO team, a couple of LoL and couple of Fifa players, a Melee player, a dude named Taco, and now Harstem. Not bad not bad. GLHF!
