Astralis complete roster with “br0” signing – device new IGL
The Danish Organization announced the replacement for Benjamin "blameF" Bremer today.
Today the Danes announced Alexander "br0" Bro as the replacement for blameF, while also announcing Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz as the new in-game leader for the Danish organization.
Kasper Straube, Sports Director:
- Our top priority has been to find a player who can step into the team and create space for the other four to move into their favorite positions. Alexander "br0" fits perfectly here.
- He was a standout player on an extremely successful talent team and chose to seek international experience after his run on the talent squad. It's fair to say he has succeeded with some extremely impressive performances, including a great run in the Paris Major. It's a pleasure for us to complete the circle and bring a former talent player back to the main team in this way.
- He was the first player we identified who has the level and fits perfectly into the role, and I'm extremely happy we succeeded in bringing him back so quickly. We also owe thanks to Monte, who has been understanding and flexible in making this transition successful.
The former Astralis Talent player, Alexander "br0" Bro is excited about his return to the Danish powerhouse.
- I'm insanely happy to return to Astralis. I know what I'm talking about when I say it's a fantastic organization, and it really hurt to see them miss the Major because I know how much it means to everybody here. However, it has opened up opportunities for me, and I will do everything to show that I am the best choice for the team.
- They know what they're getting, and I know what it means to play here and be part of Astralis. Although I have the utmost respect for playing alongside such skilled players and the pressure of being here, I also know I can make a difference. That's who I am as a person and as a player, and I'm just insanely excited to get started, the 21-year-old Dane stated in a press release.
Astralis will have a decent amount of time to implement Alexander "br0" Bro on the roster with IEM Chengdu in April as the next tournament for the team.
