After days of speculation, Jakob “JUGi” Hansen has officially become the sixth member of Astralis’ CS:GO roster.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes shortly after Astralis confirmed the signing of Patrick “es3tag” Hansen<\/a>, who is due to join the team at the end of June, meaning the Danish champions are set to field a seven-man squad this summer.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Danish AWPer has already taken part in practice sessions with his new teammates, prompting Astralis coach Danny “zonic” S\u00f8rensen to say his latest charge had “adapted and contributed as we expected”.<\/p>\n

“It feels like coming home,” JUGi said in a statement on the Astralis website.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, I was really nervous, but the second I stepped into the office, everything felt just right. The group has grown a lot, but I know most of the guys around the team, I know the culture and I know what is expected of me – on and off the server. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve had some great times here and being able to wear the jersey with the red star on the chest is just\u2026 It\u2019s a pressure, it\u2019s humbling and it\u2019s motivating as nothing else!”<\/p>\n
