The future of “device” should go through 100 Thieves of Håvard “rain“Nygaard, where he will meet Lukas again”heads” Rossander. The former player was the name chosen as coach of the recently announced project.
Now reduced to three players, Astralis could undergo a historic reformulation and the club has opened doors to the arrival of international names to reinforce the squad.
Martin’s name “stavn” Lund was once again tipped to return but information from Dust2.dk place this probability well below the bet on two international names.
This is Astralis at the moment:
Victor “Staehr” Staehr
Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen
Jakob “jabbi“Nygaard
Casper “ruggah” Due (coach)
Martin “stavn” Lund (banco)
