Gla1ve hints at early return from CS:GO Break

Gla1ve has just announced that he is reaching the conclusion of his CS:GO break and will be returning to the Astralis lineup after ESL One Cologne. This is his statement: 

I am looking so much forward to coming back ⭐️! I will take it step by step which means I won't be playing ESL Cologne, but I will help the team all I can so we can take the trophy home 👊. A huge thanks to all who supported me during my break, it truly means so much to me ❤️ pic.twitter.com/smLjqdCIYn

What will this mean for Astralis?

When Gla1ve announced that he will be taking a short break from competitive CS:GO, there were a lot of doubts regarding Astralis, and if they’ll manage to cope with the newly introduced changes. Now a few months have passed, and since then we’ve seen a constant decline in results, which means that Gla1ve was a core part of the roster. Him being part of the squad on a permanent basis will definitely culminate in better results for Astralis.

Who will Gla1ve replace?

Effectively, when Gla1ve was on break, JUGi was the one to replace him on the squad, however with the recent addition of Bubzkji, it will be very hard to determine which approach Astralis will take in order to suffice an efficient roster.

What’s next for Astralis?

It will be very exciting to see Gla1ve returning to competitive play after 2 months of him being inactive. Astralis will definitely need to take some time to adapt the changes, however for the time being, they will need to focus on what they have planned for ESL One Cologne.
