Emil “Magisk” Reif may replace Martin “stavn” Lund in Astralis , according to insider. Magisk has been on the bench of Falcons since June, and with his contract set to expire in the coming days, negotiations are expected to proceed without issues. More details on the potential transfer can be found in our material.

The rumors quickly sparked debate in the community, with analysts and former players weighing in. Thorin criticized the potential move, pointing out that Astralis could lose firepower:

Magisk for stavn sounds like a great way to kneecap Astralis and ensure they lack firepower. The only player to pick-up for those roles is blameF .
