Part of this strategy is to include a young, energetic and technically extremely strong player like Philip in the roster ”, says Kasper Hvidt, Director of Sports at Astralis in an official statement.
Lucky himself adds: “I really enjoyed my time at Tricked and I am very grateful to them. When Astralis knocks everything changes. They are, without a doubt, one of the most professional organizations and I feel very welcome and part of the family. "
