Astralis coach Casper “ruggah” Due, during an interview with James Banks for ESL broadcast, commented on the issue of choosing a new team's in-game leader. In this interview, ruggah mentioned that HooXi, the former captain of G2, was discussed as a potential candidate for the role of the new Astralis captain, but the choice fell on Casper “cadiaN” Møller.
