Bubzkji on the unsuccessful start of Astralis : “I can't remember a crazier start for a new roster”

After a few days of controversy surrounding the emergency replacement of  br0  with  cadiaN , the Danish team  Astralis  faced even more difficulties, losing its debut map with a score of 13-0.  Bubzkji , a former player and analyst, expressed his thoughts on the situation, calling this period one of the most difficult for the new team.

Controversial substitution and team protest

The situation began with Astralis ' decision to replace br0 with cadiaN at the BLAST Premier Fall Final tournament. This caused a flurry of criticism, as the replacement took place under controversial circumstances - due to br0 's alleged health problems, which were questioned by both players and the community.

Bubzkji noted that initially, the transition of cadiaN itself was extremely controversial due to previous relationships and circumstances. Subsequently, the situation sparked an online debate due to the emergency replacement, and a few days later, other teams rallied against Astralis because of the way the issue was handled.

0-13 defeat: the worst debut ever?

The debut match was catastrophic for Astralis : the team lost 13-0, and for the first time in its history, which was an additional blow to the morale of the players. Bubzkji noted that the feelings experienced by some players at that moment must have been crazy. He also added that after such a defeat, the team can only rise.

Community reaction

Social media exploded after Astralis ' loss. Many fans and analysts pointed out that this was just the beginning for cadiaN in the new team, but now the team is in a very difficult position. Some even said that this was “karma” for the organization's recent controversial actions.
