Danny «zonic» Sorensen, formerly a successful cybersports player and now coach of Astralis, has announced the launch of sales of his biography in English. In Danish, the book was published back in November 2019. In the book, he talks about the history of cybersports in general and the journey to success that the Astralis team has taken. Sorensen devotes a lot of space in the book to his own life, reflecting on how he took his first steps in cybersport and how he reached the position he now occupies.
In his own words, the book tells the story of how cybersport has evolved from matches played in semi-dark basements to competitions that attract tens of thousands of spectators. At the same time, the attitude towards players – has changed, they are becoming more and more like professionals in other sports, and the involvement of nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychologists is becoming increasingly important for success.
In one of the chapters, Sorensen shared his first impression of CS GO: «I immediately realized that it is one of the most intense games in the world. It requires incredible mental toughness and perfect mastery of the mouse and keyboard to stay alive».
The book is currently only sold digitally, but zonic plans to release a paper edition in the future.
