"Scared, broken and lost": Former Astralis pro K0nfig reveals harrowing details of fight that broke his leg

sportskeeda.com:

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) star Kristian "K0nfig" Wienecke has disclosed how he broke his leg in a fight that he initially denied involvement in.

K0nfig and Astralis officially parted ways on October 10, 2022. The organization made the announcement via a tweet, stating that the decision was made due to personal reasons.

Over the last few days, reports have been doing the rounds about a fight in Malta that caused the esports player to break his leg. While he initially denied any involvement in a fight, he has now admitted to it and given his side of the story.

A few hours after Astralis' post, K0nfig shared a statement on TwitLonger, detailing the night during which he had an altercation with a nightclub promoter and ended up breaking his leg. The incident occurred on September 18, 2022, after Astralis lost to Heroic and failed to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 16 playoffs.

Describing the last couple of weeks, the Danish star said:

K0nfig joined Astralis in 2021 and was the primary entry fragger and Awper for the team.

In his statement, K0nfig explained that the fight occurred after he and his team went out to bars and nightclubs on the night of their defeat to Heroic. He revealed that he parted ways with the rest of the team midway through the night to grab a bite to eat. According to him, he planned on rejoining them at a nightclub.

When he approached the nightclub, the 2020 BLAST Premier European Finals winner was denied entry by a promoter who allegedly spat on his face and kicked him down the stairs.

While waiting on the road outside to gather himself, he saw the promoter leave the nightclub and did something he would come to regret later:
