Astralis Confirms HooXi Signing

Years after losing gla1ve, Astralis has finally signed a proper IGL in HooXi to lead the team, as their past ventures with cadiaN and dev1ce went south. What was once touted as the best CSGO team in the world dropped the ball to the point they were underdogs coming into events, and the signing of HooXi aims to change the narrative.

Astralis houses the finest Danish talents in stavn and jabbi, two of the finest riflers in the world, who were unable to find their mojo under different leadership. But with HooXi signing, they hope to fall into proper roles where their true talents can flourish. With a young and dynamic squad powered by dev1ce, who is still one of the best AWPers in the world, Astralis is rising again.

Astralis now looks like:

  • Nicolai “⁠device⁠” Reedtz
  • Martin “⁠stavn⁠” Lund
  • Jakob “⁠jabbi⁠” Nygaard
  • Victor “⁠Staehr⁠” Staehr
  • Rasmus “⁠HooXi⁠” Nielsen
  • Casper “⁠ruggah⁠” Due (coach)
  • Casper “⁠cadiaN⁠” Møller (benched)

History shows that HooXi was in the driver’s seat on a few of the most successful rosters. While Copenhagen Flames put him on the map, HooXi took G2 to a whole new level, winning IEM Katowice and Cologne and a series of top events. He turned dysfunctional rosters into competitive ones, and Astralis hopes to do the same with their team under his leadership.
