The four-time CS:GO<\/a> Major champions Astralis have strengthened their roster with the addition of Lucas “\u2060Bubzkji\u2060” Andersen, who replaces Jakob “JUGi” Hansen as the seventh member of the team.<\/p>\n

The news surfaced on Friday when it was unveiled Astralis had finalised negotiations with MAD Lions over Bubzkji’s transfer\u2060. The 22-year-old Danish rifler’s move comes just in time for ESL One Cologne, which is slated to start on Tuesday, August 18.<\/p>\n

The speculation about Bubzkji\u2060 joining Astralis first sprung to life at the end of June, when he was benched by MAD Lions. At the time, the team did not provide any context on the subject besides stating that they were in the process of “reviewing their roster to position the team for continued success”.<\/p>\n

While the transfer was not officially confirmed nor denied up until this Friday, MAD Lions coach Luis “\u2060peacemaker\u2060” Tadeu stated earlier this week that Bubzkji\u2060 was “being negotiated” and would join “a big team soon”.<\/p>\n

The arrival of Bubzkji marks Astralis\u2019 third signing of the year after they acquired two promising Danish talents in JUGi, who joined Astralis in May<\/a>, and Patrick “es3tag” Hansen, whose signing was confirmed in March.<\/p>\n
