Astralis are now preparing for the first important event of 2022 – Blast Premier Spring Groups. However, they might need a stand-in for this tournament.

According to Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke’s Twitter, he is tested positive for Covid-19. That might make him miss Blast Premier Spring Groups.

Previously, Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes was confirmed to miss Blast Premier Spring Groups because of the positive Covid-19 test. However, MIBR are situated in America, while the tournament is hosted in Europe, and chelo didn’t have options to attend the event. Astralis’ situation is the opposite as they are a European team, and k0nfig might take part in the event. But his attendance depends on his health condition.

Who might stand in for k0nfig in case he is out? The first candidate is Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen, as his contract with the organization hasn’t been terminated yet.

Astralis didn’t comment on the situation.
