Som ni kanske kommer ihåg lämnade Nebb Destination Skyline så sent som igår på grund av att han tröttnat på CS-spelandet. Detta spelade förmodligen in i natus beslut, som grundade sig på att laget inte lyckats vända den negativa trenden trots flera försök. Så här skriver natu i ett uttalande på astralis hemsida:

"I've had the greatest sixteen months with DSky flying to several major events around the world. But ever since Tico quit his career it never felt the same, and piece by piece the team started to change and fall apart over and over again. I'm not one to give up so I tried my best reviving the team several times, but as things kept going downhill my motivation just went down the drain.

When the opportunity to play for astralis arised I was excited and the spark in me was back. I know all the guys from past and I've played with most of them and there's no doubt in my mind that this wouldn't work out for the best. I'm looking forward to some great games and events with the team."

astralis aktiva laguppställning ser nu ut så här:

När vi talade med Snajdan om framtiden i Destination Skyline hade han svårt att ge oss ett rakt svar eftersom han inte visste exakt vad som skulle hända. Det troliga är dock att man lägger ner laget eftersom man inte orkar bygga upp en ny laguppställning. Vad som händer med själva organisationen, som ju tidigare har haft fler lag än CS-laget, är upp till ägaren Blue.

Hur det än går ser Destination Skylines lag för tillfället ut så här (med tanke på att de troligen lägger ner kan ni se det som en lista över klanlösa spelare):

natu var inte på intervjuhumör idag, så vi talade istället med bloodR. Intervjun finner ni nedan.

Good day to you bloodR! Can you explain to us outside folks what has been going on in astralis lately?

Yeah we had natu as standin on the colosseum lan two weeks ago and there we kinda got the impression that he might be the guy our team needs. His experience is pretty unmatched in Finland and he's also a great guy, also kuviCk has been focusing heavily on his IRL stuff and losing interest in Counter-strike so this was a NATUral choice. :P


What would happen if kuviCk got his motivation back and wanted to get back into the lineup?

Well as I talked to him he was certain that he wouldn't come back at least in several months so time will tell what will happen.


In Destination Skyline natu seemed to be the leader of the team, will he have a similar role in astralis or is he just another player now?

Yes astralis has lacked a strong leader figure pretty much the whole time we've been around so adding him to the roster definitely improves us.


So where will we see your new lineup perform for the first time then? Have you got any events planned for?

Online qualifier to the Finnish Championship tournament at the end of May will be held in few weeks. Other than that we might have some bigger plans coming too which are uncertain at the moment, we'll let you know soon enough.


That's all for tonight, thank you for your time, good luck and so on. Any finishing words?
