Astralis have just announced that they will be parting ways with Jakob “JUGi” Hansen, and replacing him with Lucas “Bubzkji” Andersen. Here is their announcement:
This is how Astralis’ roster is looking after these recent changes:
Players:
- dev1ce Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz
- Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen
- Emil “Magisk” Reif
- Patrick “es3tag” Hansen
- Lucas “Bubzkji “ Andersen
Coach:
- Danny “zonic” Sørensen
Here are some words from Astralis’ Director of Sports, Kasper Hvidt:
First of all, I want to thank “JUGi” for stepping in and taking on a huge task when we approached him. He is a top professional and under the right conditions, he is an extremely skilled player.
Over the summer we have taken our time to see how things developed with the players on leave and have adjusted our strategy accordingly. We have a very important fall season coming up and we want to stand as strong as possible in the upcoming tournaments and ultimately to defend our Major title.
Bubzkji is also very excited about joining Astralis, here are some words from him:
When I heard about Astralis’ interest, I already made up my mind: I want to be a part of this team and this organization and this is where I want to play! I had other options, but after talking to “zonic” and Kasper about the role I will have, the ambitions of the team, and how they work I am convinced I can contribute to the team and I can become a better player.
How will Bubzkji affect Astralis?
Bubzkji is definitely one of the most talented players from Denmark, and he has shown that with his recent team, MAD Lions. With them he has achieved:
- 1st place in Flashpoint Season 1 – 19th of April 2020 – $500,000
- 1st place in V4 Future Sports Festival – Budapest 2019 – 22nd of September 2019 – $165,300.82
- 3rd place in ICE Challenge 2020 – 5th of February 2020 – $25,000
These are definitely exciting times for CS:GO, with the player break coming to an end very soon, both European and North American Counter-Strike will be resuming and competing again for more titles during this online CS era.
