Astralis has added AWPer Asger “farlig” Jensen to its CS:GO roster, the organization announced today. As a result, the team has moved young AWPer Philip “Lucky” Ewald to the inactive roster. Farlig is the “skilled, aggressive player with lots of firepower” that the team needs to improve their form, according to coach Alexander “ave” Holdt.

There are three squad building challenges (SBC) in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team that players can complete right from the start—and the League and Nation Hybrid SBC is one of them. The game is still in early access, but this SBC doesn’t have an expiration date.
