Magisk has been a part of Dignitas for a longer period before moving to the emerging Danish organization North. Eventually, due to the underperformance of Magisk, North was quick to replace Magisk with Valde.
Magisk was currently a part of OptiC Gaming, where he was freed officially by the organization.

We had earlier predicted that the player which Astralis chose to sign could be one among Friberg, k0nfig, pimp & Magisk. The new lineup will be first seen during the IEM Katowice 2018, scheduled a few weeks from now.
OptiC Gaming a few hours ago announced the departure of MagisK which further strengthened this speculation.
Other than the Danish roster change, the most twitched of all was Virtus.pro benching TaZ from the Polish organization. The next player to depart from the organization could be NEO, if his performance doesn’t improve in the recent time.
