Team Aster's uniforms
Last year, Team Aster went downhill in terms of playing form. The team started with a second-place finish at the DPC CN 2023 Tour 1: Division I, and after that they couldn't get above the top-8 at international events. The 7th-8th places at Lima Major 2023 and ESL One Berlin Major 2023 provided the players with a total of $25,000. The main achievement of the past Aster squad was a 7th-8th place finish at the Riyadh Masters 2023, for which the club earned $500,000 in prize money. Team Aster did not qualify for The International 2023, failing to qualify for the Chinese regional qualifiers, although the team did finish in the top 4. In November, the organisation's management unveils a new roster that includes Erika, Echo, 生死 and Frisk. The captain is 皮球, who has been playing for the club since 2021. The team's goal was to qualify for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, the last major tournament of the year. But Aster finished in fourth place in the Chinese qualifiers and failed to realise their end-of-season goal.
The last professional tournament for Team Aster was Kobolds Rave, an online tournament for Chinese and Asian teams with a prize pool of $40,000. Aster received a direct invitation from the organisers to the play-offs stage, bypassing the group stage. But there the team disappointed. First Erika and his teammates Ledge and Go along in a full bo3 series and fell to the bottom of the net. And the defeat from MAG.Indonesia with a similar result ended the participation of the Chinese club in this tournament. The 9th-12th place left the players without the much desired prize money.
Statistics of the last results of Team Aster:
- Defeat by MAG.Indonesia with the score 1:2
- Defeat by Go Along with the score 1:2
- 1:2 loss to Invictus Gaming
- 2:0 win over Team Zero
- 0:2 defeat by Team Zero
