The Astralis line-up is undergoing changes again: the team recently announced that Andreas “Xyp9x” Hoislet will temporarily go into reserve, and his place will be taken by Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer, who was previously on the Heroic roster. Xyp9x said that he wants to take a break due to the fact that he has been experiencing symptoms of stress and burnout for several months. It is likely that Snappi will only join Astralis for a short period of time – until June, when the transfer of Patrick "es3tag" will be officially completed. Hansen.
Recall that Andreas Heuslet – This is already the second Astralis player who decided to take a break from competition. Two weeks ago Lucas “gla1ve” Rossander announced that he was temporarily leaving the roster for medical reasons. He stressed that he needs to rest to regain his strength and find motivation to return to professional games again.
Snappi has not appeared in official competition since April, when Heroic transferred him to the reserve list. As part of Astralis, he will play for the first time at the BLAST Premier Spring Europe Showdown tournament, which starts on June 1. In the group stage, Astralis will face Vitality, ENCE, NiP and sAw. It’s interesting that the team now has another e-sportsman who in the past played for Heroic – Jacob "JUGi" Hansen.
