That was quick: jabbi and stavn sign for Astralis
Astralis have announced the signings of stavn and jabbi from national rivals Heroic.
After being heavily rumoured to join, the moves have been announced less than 24 hours after Astralis were eliminated from BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023.
A disappointing result for the organisation, it offers some clarity as to why they performed below expectations in Copenhagen.
The move we all expected
The clock has been ticking for the announcement of this move ever since Heroic leaked its possibility via their Twitter account.
A huge surprise at the time, fans and analysts alike have now had time to assess the move and judge whether this new roster can succeed.
Analyst Pimp certainly thinks it can: He's already shared his excitement on Twitter as he called it a "power move for the future":
Some fans reacted surprisingly to Buzz being replaced - and not Staehr.
However, possibly due to his 1.26 HLTV rated performance at the CS Asia Championships and huge talent, Staehr will remain.
With these changes, the Astralis roster is as follows:
- blameF
- device
- stavn
- jabbi
- Staehr
