Astralis disappointing results in the ESL Pro League have sparked lively discussions among fans and analysts. Two consecutive defeats to fnatic and Complexity led to a discussion of possible lineup replacements. Former NIP coach Pita on platform X offered his version of a revamped roster that could bring the team back to the top.
Astralis' failures and mounting pressure
Astralis started their ESL Pro League journey with two unexpected defeats, losing to fnatic and Complexity. These teams, ranked lower in the world rankings, were an unpleasant surprise for Astralis fans and management. Criticism of the roster and coaching staff began to mount, sparking discussions about the need for change.
Amidst these setbacks, former coach Pita proposed his concept of revamping the team based on the roles of HooXi and Zyphon. In his opinion, such a replacement could improve both the offensive and defensive sides of the game.
Specific suggestions from Pita
Pita believes that bringing in HooXi and Zyphon to replace br0 and Staehr could lead to improved results for Astralis. In particular, HooXi, currently sitting on the bench in G2, would take on the role of captain, allowing for a better distribution of roles in the team.
The proposed five from Pita looks like this:
Imagine astralis with HooXi & Zyphon 😱

T-side:
- jabbi lurker
- Zyphon semi-lurk
- HooXi making space for stavn and device in the group
CT-side (example mirage):
- jabbi A-anchor
- HooXi B-anchor
- device mid
- stavn con
- Zyphon short
All roles make sense. Make it happen.…
According to Pita, this role distribution is ideal to optimally utilize each player's potential. For example, on the Mirage map, jabbi would be the anchor on point A, HooXi would occupy B, and device would play in the center of the map, allowing the best Astralis players to prove themselves.
Importance of the changes for Astralis
Astralis will face Australia's Rooster in the Last Chance stage on Friday in what could be a key moment in their performance at the tournament. Rooster, represents a chance for Astralis to reverse the negative trend and regain confidence.Will the substitutions suggested by Pita help the team regain their former glory, or is it only a temporary solution? Either way, Astralis' future moves could have a significant impact on their future tournament performances.
