es3tag, Bubzkji to debut for Astralis in ESL One Cologne

13-8-2020 11:00

The Danish outfit's latest recruits will make their first appearance for the team on Tuesday against fnatic.

Astralis have confirmed their starting lineup for their next tournament, ESL One Cologne's European division. Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen and Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen will be making their debut for the Danish giants, who will be led by Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif in the $325,000 online tournament.

es3tag joined Astralis on a free transfer on July 1 following the expiry of his contract with HEROIC. ESL One Cologne will be his first tournament since March after he spent the final months of his HEROIC contract on the bench. Bubzkji was signed later that month for an undisclosed fee from MAD Lions, who had moved the player to the bench before the break.

es3tag will play his first official match in five months

The announcement of Astralis' starting lineup comes as little surprise after Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander announced that he would be sitting out the tournament, which will run from August 18-30. He and Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth have been out on medical leave after complaining of burnout symptoms, with the Danish in-game leader understood to be ahead of his teammate in the recovery process.

Astralis will take on fnatic in their first match in ESL One Cologne's Group B, scheduled for Tuesday at 18:30 . The double-elimination group also includes Vitality, Heretics, FaZe, HEROIC, G2 and MIBR.

The Danish team will compete in the ESL tournament with:

Denmark Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif
Denmark Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz
Denmark Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen
Denmark Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen
Denmark Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen

Dude but does it matter if it's a minor of sorts? It's an ESL One event and that's what matters. Moreover the guy didn't specify ESL One anyway. So #64 is right.

wanted to delete my comment because its useless. But okay. Yes they did. I don't care what you want it to be but it was officially classed as a ESL One event, so whatever you want to believe does not really matter.

Tbh nope it wasn't. I had some expectations but both of those guys are not even close to being good replacements from gla1ve and xyp9x. And tbh, neither are Bubz or Es3tag if you think about it but they are much better than Jugi and Snappi

No, it was not a team to cheer for. It was a temporary fuck up in a big caliber. But probably one of the smallest fuckups they could do during that time.

For sure No doubt they wanted lekr0 tho instead of snappi (as stand in only) that would been cool to see tbh tho No offense to jugi but he wouldnt fit in that roster either
