After almost 4 months, Gla1ve will be returning from CS:GO break and put back into the Astralis starting roster. A few weeks ago he hinted that he will be concluding his CS:GO break and have an earlier return to the Astralis squad. Here is their announcement:
Who will Gla1ve be replacing on the roster?
Gla1ve will be stepping into the roster by replacing Patrick “es3tag” Hansen. Es3tag has only played 3 matches under Astralis, all were part of ESL One Cologne in which they placed 5th-8th.
Here’s what Astralis’ management had to say about Gla1ve replacing es3tag:
“While he made an impactful debut on the team, Patrick ‘es3tag’ Hansen will not be a part of the starting line-up in the Pro League opening match against Complexity. He will be observing and analyzing the gameplay and the team further, as well as assisting with preparation for the upcoming matches.”

Gla1ve returning from CS:GO – How has the roster performed since the swap?
The roster has definitely improved from what they had before. However obviously they still require a lot of work to be the number 1 team again. Today Astralis faced off Complexity in the ESL Pro League, and despite their great performance it was still not enough to take down Complexity. They ended the best of 3 series with both scores ending 19-17 favoring COL.
It will be very interesting to see this 7-man squad develop over the coming months and what they manage to come up with. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be seeing the newly formed Astralis back in the number 1 spot in a month’s time? It’s all speculation however only time will tell with regards to how Astralis will be performing with the recent changes.
