Astralis <\/strong>has revealed that they have come to a mutual decision to end Alexander ‘\u2060br0\u2060’ Bro’s contract, allowing the 22-year-old to seek a new team. Nicolai ‘\u2060device\u2060’ <\/strong>Reedtz is also set to officially rejoin the roster after being absent from the Perfect World Shanghai Major<\/strong> Europe RMR due to “a relapse of stress-related health issues.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘br0’ <\/strong>became a member of Astralis <\/strong>following their unsuccessful attempt to qualify for PGL Major Copenhagen<\/strong> earlier this year, replacing Benjamin ‘\u2060blameF\u2060’ <\/strong>Bremer on the roster. The rifler’s inclusion prompted a reorganization that allowed Martin ‘\u2060stavn\u2060’ <\/strong>Lund and Jakob ‘jabbi\u2060’ Nygaard to take on their preferred positions, while ‘device’ <\/strong>assumed the role of in-game leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a period of early achievements with the new lineup, including reaching the semi-finals at IEM Chengdu<\/strong> and ESL Pro League Season 19<\/strong>, the results started to decline after the player break, as Astralis <\/strong>was unable to qualify for the playoffs in both IEM Cologne <\/strong>and ESL Pro League Season 20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Danish organization decided to make a change prior to the upcoming Shanghai Major <\/strong>cycle, bringing Casper ‘cadiaN\u2060’ <\/strong>M\u00f8ller into the team to relieve an injured ‘device’ of the in-game leader role, while ‘br0’ <\/strong>was moved to the bench to create space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision was quickly surrounded by debate, not because of the action taken, but because of Astralis’ <\/strong>dubious application of BLAST’s <\/strong>emergency substitution regulations to include ‘cadiaN’ <\/strong>in their lineup for the BLAST Fall Final<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘br0’ <\/strong>was summoned by Astralis <\/strong>just two months following his benching, as ‘device’ <\/strong>stepped away from the team for medical reasons only days before their RMR campaign in preparation for the Perfect World Shanghai Major<\/strong>. The team struggled to cope with their AWPer’s unexpected exit from the lineup and were unsuccessful in qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
