Astralis reportedly looking to replace HooXi and jabbi

Astralis are reportedly exploring immediate replacements for Rasmus "HooXi" Nielsen and Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard despite winning Stake Ranked Episode 4 only days earlier.

Multiple sources told HLTV that the Danish organization is actively searching the market for a double roster change.

No replacements have been confirmed.

Contract negotiations reach impasse

According to HLTV, negotiations between Astralis and the two players have stalled.

jabbi's contract reportedly expires at the end of November, while HooXi's deal runs through the end of the year.

Astralis are attempting to avoid losing core players without receiving transfer fees.

Victor "Staehr" Staehr had previously signed an extension through 2027.

The timing is notable because Astralis have just ended a nearly seven-year drought between proper LAN titles by winning Stake Ranked Episode 4 in Barcelona.

Any changes remain unconfirmed while Astralis evaluate potential replacements.
