Former top seeds Astralis are now eyeing Bubzkji as their eighth member. The Danish CS: GO prodigy, Lucas ‘Bubzkji’ Andersen has currently been benched by his team MAD Lions. This move started speculation about the 22-year-old’s future. MAD Lions have mostly been silent on the issue. All they had to say was, “reviewing our roster to position our team for continued success.” Sources from HTVL.org report that Astralis is engaged in talks with the MAD Lions for the transfer of Bubzkji.
