New-look Astralis top group at Stake Pulse Beat

The team beat HOTU and Sashi on their debut with siuhy and cmtry. Astralis began life with Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek and Nikita "⁠cmtry⁠" Samolotov with victories over Sashi and HOTU to progress to the Stake Pulse Beat III playoffs. The international squad recently went through a shock rebuild just one month before the Major, benching IGL Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen and Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard due to the duo entering the final months of their contracts in order to play the Major with their new recruits.
