After excluding Christian k0nfig Wieneke from the roster, Astralis never announced the player who will replace the Dane. According to rumours, Nikolay device Reedtz should become the player. However, according to insiders, the Danish team will announce the signing of the sniper after the IEM Rio Major.

Astralis have announced that Mikkel MistR Thomsen will temporarily remain with the roster and play at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown. The academy player has already competed at the European RMR, replacing k0nfig.

The BLAST Premier Fall Showdown will take place from October 20th to 24th, and the tournament champion will receive a seat in the BLAST Premier Fall Final and $20,000.
