Astralis could try to sign two more players for its CS:GO<\/em> team, according to a report<\/a> by Jarek “DeKay” Lewis. <\/p>
The Danish powerhouse has six CS:GO<\/em> players at the moment. Astralis signed a contract with Patrick “es3tag” Hansen<\/a> in March when Heroic was on the verge of selling es3tag and the rest of the team to FunPlus Phoenix. The 24-year-old will officially join Astralis on July 1, however, since he has to wait for his contract with Heroic to expire.<\/p>
There’s been plenty of curiosity over the years about adding more players than the usual starting five to CS:GO<\/em> rosters. Dot Esports interviewed<\/a> Astralis’ head coach zonic in March when es3tag signed with the organization and he said the move was made for the team’s “health and long-term performance.”<\/p>
Although Astralis are the best CS:GO<\/em> team in the world, according to HLTV’s world rankings<\/a>, the Danish team has had mixed results so far in 2020. They reached the semifinals at IEM Katowice in February but finished last in their BLAST Premier Spring Series group.<\/p>
