The last spot on the Astralis roster has been up in the air for quite a while now following the departure of Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke earlier this year. Being picked up by Astralis is clearly something that means a lot to Buzz, seemingly also in his preferred role in the squad.
– I am very happy and really proud, Buzz said in a statement and continued. I have studied and looked up to the players on the Astralis team for several years, and in many ways, that has shaped me as a CS player. The fact that I can now call myself an Astralis player on a team with several of those players and in the role I’ve always imagined is just crazy cool.
“It does not get bigger for a Danish player”
– I have had several conversations with casle and Kasper Hvidt over the past few months. They know the player they’re getting, and I know I’m joining a team and an organization ready to invest in what it takes to get back on top. – When I pulled the red shirt over my head for the first time for our photo shoot, it was a very special feeling, and I knew how much this meant.
– Playing with the star on the chest does not get bigger for a Danish CS player, and I will do everything I can to help the team and make the fans proud. There is so much to be proud of in Astralis, but we have lacked the results, and I hope I can help bring them back, says Christian “Buzz” Andersen.
Astralis inform in the same press statement that Mikkel “MistR” Thomsen, who has helped the main team as a stand-in since October, is set to return to Astralis Talent.
