Danish team Astralis has announced that Lukas «gla1ve» Rossander will return to the lineup at PGL Major Stockholm. He will replace Lucas «Bubzkji» Andersen, who has been temporarily filling his position. For the past month, gla1ve has been inactive as he awaited the birth of his child.
The long-awaited change in the lineup came two weeks before the start of the Majors, with the first round starting on October 26. Kasper Hvidt, one of the heads of the eSports organization, commented on the decision as follows: «It's never easy to remove a player from the main roster and it's a bit unfair to Andersen as, regardless of the circumstances, he has remained a true professional and has always performed at his best in and out of the game. We have discussed this decision with Lucas and he is disappointed, but also knows that he is an important part of the team and will do everything he
can
to help».Although the change in the starting roster will result in a 20% ranking points penalty for Astralis, it will not affect its status in the majors, as it will still remain in fourth place in the regional rankings, ahead of ENCE by a fairly wide margin.
