Bubzkji joins BLAST talent at Spring Groups

18-1-2024 11:33

New year, new analyst at BLAST Premier.

Bubzkji will be on the analyst desk in Copenhagen

BLAST has announced its talent list for the BLAST Premier Spring Groups — a list of the usual suspects, but with a twist.

Joining Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche and Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez on the desk will be a neophyte on BLAST's international stream at a LAN event, former Astralis player Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen, who was tried out on the broadcast during the Fall Showdown.

Sam "⁠Tech Girl⁠" Wright also joins the team on the desk, as a host, after having been part of BLAST's broadcast crew at the last CS:GO Major in Paris.

Two duos will be bringing the action live from the server, BLAST's trusty Canadians, Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvan and Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy, alongside their European counterparts, Anders "⁠Anders⁠" Blume and Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer.

The group stage, which will have 16 teams in attendance for the first time, will kick off on January 22 with many of the world's top teams in attendance and several new rosters, such as Falcons and HEROIC, making their official LAN debuts.

The talent list is:

Switzerland Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez
Denmark Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche
Denmark Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen
Canada Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvan
Canada Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy
Denmark Anders "⁠Anders⁠" Blume
United Kingdom Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer
South Africa Sam "⁠Tech Girl⁠" Wright
United Kingdom James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks

Did they though? I mean, he seems to be having a pretty good thing going on for himself within the sports industry, especially in Denmark. Sure his career AS A PLAYER was ruined, but surely you know that is nowhere near all there is to esports nowadays.

He salvaged the wreckage, no doubt. But top players (which he was on track to be) make infinitely more than top analysts. Astralis literally robbed him of that.
