Danish Counter-Strike team Astralis is practicing with Philip “Lucky” Ewald, according to multiple sources close to the team.
It is still unknown whether it is in the interest for both Astralis and Lucky to become a stable member or if Lucky is going to be the 6th man.
According to the sources, Lucky will join the team after he finishes High School, but that might be earlier since several contracts of the Astralis players expire at the end of the year.
As mentioned in my previous article, Lucky is a fan favourite to fill in the gap that dev1ce left after joining NiP in April. Sources close to Nordavind confirmed that Daniel “mertz” Mertz has signed a new contract, which makes him not in contention for Astralis.
Lucky has since January 2020 played for Tricked Esport, where he has competed in both ESEA Advanced and the Dust2.dk’s POWER League top division. Lucky claimed MVP in the recent two seasons of the POWER League (S15 & S16). For the current POWER League season, Lucky is topping the Rating of the regular play with 1.30. With this pace, Lucky is set to win his third back-to-back MVP title.
After NiP signed dev1ce in April earlier this year, there has been radio silence from the Astralis camp as for what the future might hold for their CS:GO roster.
The rumoured Astralis lineup will consist of:
- Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander
- Emil “Magisk” Reif
- Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth
- Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen
- Lucas “Bubzkji” Andersen
- Philip “Lucky” Ewald
- Danny “zonic” Sørensen (Coach)
Astralis, Lucky and Tricked has chosen not to comment.
