On Saturday, some extraordinary rumors hinted towards a new direction for the French super team. According to a report by neL and 1pv.fr, the French organization is currently working on creating a new international roster possessing the Astralis trio of Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, Emil “Magisk” Reif, and coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen. The news about the Danish trio came only a few days after Astralis announced the departure of their three long-time members.
The French media stated that the Danes will replace Jayson “Kyojin” Nguyen Van, Richard “shox” Papillon, and eventually also Rémy “XTQZZZ” Quoniam in the coaching position.
According to neL, who wrote the report for 1pv.fr, the deal was happening no matter what, even with a Major win, stating that Vitality‘s squad were only informed about the roster moves after they went out of the PGL Major Stockholm. Here is some new information released by neL on his Twitter:
– Players/staff were informed after they went out of the Major (meaning they didn't know before, as some asked about it)
– The Danes will come for free at the end of their contract, so it's only happening in 2022
– ZywOo, misutaaa and apEX all speak english, no problem there— neL (@neLendirekt) November 8, 2021
Vitality’s reported roster for 2022 looks as follows:
Dan “apEX” Madesclaire
Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut
Kévin “misutaaa” Rabier
Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen
Emil “Magisk” Reif
Danny “zonic” Sørensen (coach)
