cajunb to stand in for Astralis Talent

Astralis have announced that cajunb will stand in for Astralis Talent for the foreseeable future, returning to the server as a replacement for MistR.

The news comes after MistR recently received the call up to the main roster to fill the shoes of Kristian “⁠k0nfig⁠” Wienecke, who is currently out of action as he recovers from a complicated ankle fracture.

cajunb links back up with the Astralis organisation after previously donning the jersey in a four-month stint back in 2016. He became a founding member of the Danish brand’s entry into Counter-Strike alongside the trio of Andreas “⁠Xyp9x⁠” Højsleth, Nicolai “⁠device⁠” Reedtz, and Peter “⁠dupreeh⁠” Rasmussen before being replaced by Markus “⁠Kjaerbye⁠” Kjærbye in May of that year.

While his time with Astralis was short-lived, the cajunb enjoyed considerable success whilst with the aforementioned core under the TSM banner where they secured five titles, namely the PGL Season 1 Finals and the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 2 Finals. cajunb also performed well individually, ranking 15th in the HLTV’s Top 20 players of 2015, boasting a 1.06 rating across 376 maps by the year’s end.
