Astralis starts new AWP'er - Xyp9x benched

There will be a new face for Astralis in tonight's match against Team Spirit.

2021-08-16 | @Anders_Frost

The lineup for the last match of the opening round of ESL Pro League Group A has arrived. Astralis will play with their new AWP player Philip "Lucky" Ewald, who will make his debut for the roster.

Astralis signed the 18-year-old Dane last month to complete their six-man lineup for the fall of 2021.

It will be Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth, who will sit out on the first map. The experienced Astralis-player commented on his future earlier today, where he talked about a possible exit from the legendary core.

Astralis will face Spirit at 20.00 (CEST).
