Astralis has added ex-pro player Frederik “LOMME” Nielsen as an analyst to their CS:GO roster.
The 28-year-old will work alongside Benjamin “blameF” Bremer and Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke, along with veteran Alexander “ave” Holdt, who was appointed as the new head coach earlier this month. LOMME had been working as an analyst for ENCE since May 2021, after a one-year tenure as head coach of Heroic.
“We are in the process of upgrading our organization surrounding the Counter-Strike team, and one of the ways to do that is to bring in LOMME,” said Kasper Hvidt, Astralis' sporting director, in the announcement.
This is the fourth change in Astralis' camp after the team failed to qualify for the PGL Stockholm Major playoffs.
LOMME said that joining Astralis is the dream of almost every Dane involved in CS:GO. The 28-year-old added, “It will be great to work with so many talented actors and staff that I have worked with at different times in most of my careers.”
The new Astralis roster will be officially unveiled this week at the $24 BLAST Premier Fall Final, which will take place November 28-425.000 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
