🇩🇰 Astralis are scouring the market for immediate replacements for Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen and Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard, multiple sources told HLTV.

HLTV knows Astralis are taking steps to avoid losing their core for free, with the contracts of HooXi, jabbi and Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr all nearing their end.

HLTV knows that jabbi's deal expires at the end of November, while HooXi's runs until the end of the year. Staehr signed a contract extension with Astralis "until 2027" back in March 2025.

Negotiations between the Danish organization and the players have hit a wall, sources said.

One of the players on Astralis' shortlist is Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek, who recently left Liquid after three months on the bench. The former MOUZ IGL is looking for a new challenge to rekindle his career after an indifferent spell with the Americas side.
