The Danish captain returns from paternity leave to lead the team at the biggest event of the year after sitting out BLAST Premier Fall Groups and IEM Fall Europe. Lucas \u2018Bubzkji\u2019 Andersen will be the team\u2019s backup player at PGL Major Stockholm after Astralis chose the starting lineup that they believe \u201chas the best chances to go all the way\u201d, according to Kasper Hvidt, Astralis\u2019 Director of Sports. On Twitter, Bubzkji admitted to being \u201cdevastated\u201d to have been left out of the starting lineup for the event in Stockholm, which would have marked his first Major appearance. I am devastated to be left out, after being there to qualify. Losing out on my first major and not being able to play in front of a “”home”” crowd hurts. But sadly there’s only 5 spots. I felt things individually was moving in the right direction towards the end. https:\/\/t.co\/oMuNz0iC4F \u2014 Bubzkji (@Bubzkji) October 13, 2021 \u201cIt is never easy to take a player out of the starting line-up and with Lucas, it can seem a bit unfair as, no matter the circumstances, he has been a true professional and always delivered his best on and off the server,\u201d Hvidt added. \u201cDanny and I had a good talk with Lucas about the decision. He is disappointed, but he also knows he is a big part of the team, and he will give his best to help out.\u201d Gla1ve makes return Dexerto revealed on September 7 that gla1ve would be away from action for some time after being granted paternity leave. His spot was taken by Andreas \u2018Xyp9x\u2019 H\u00f8jsleth, who had been left out of the lineup for ESL Pro League Season 14. With gla1ve announcing on October 9 the birth of his son, Astralis\u2019 fans expected his return to the lineup for the Major, though it remained unclear which player he would replace. According to Hvidt, the Danish in-game leader continued to \u201cobserve the team, competition, and the development of the game\u201d during his time away from competition. \u201cHe is back with a lot of new energy and ideas, and with 14 days to go, gla1ve, Danny, and the team have time to prepare and once again to raise their game for the biggest tournament out there,\u201d the Astralis director said.
