Xyp9x returned to Astralis line-up

Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth officially started training with Astralis, thus confirming the latest rumors of his return, which appeared on September 30. He and his teammates reported this on Twitter.

At the end of May, the Danish player retired to the inactivity to solve problems with emotional burnout and stress. Now his place in starting five of Astralis is occupied by Patrick "es3tag" Hansen, at that Lucas "Bubzkji" Andersen also remains in the reserve.

The first tournament for Xyp9x will be BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020, where Astralis will play in Group B against G2, NiP and FaZe from November 2-4. In this way, the Danish team will lose 20% RMR points due to the absence of Hoyslet at the qualifying for the Major Event DreamHack Open Fall 2020.

The current composition of Astralis:

Nikolai "device" Reedtz
Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen
Patrick "es3tag" Hansen
Emil "Magisk" Reif
Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander

Danny "zonic" Sorensen (coach)
