Xyp9x is the second Astralis player to take medical leave in as many weeks, after in-game leader Gla1ve also revealed he would be taking a break, citing the same reasons of stress and burnout for what he expects to be at least a 3-month hiatus.

To replace Xyp9x, Astralis have brought in Heroic player Snappi, who is also expected to take over IGL duty in Gla1ve's absence.

Here's everything you need to know about the latest Astralis roster change.
