Astralis to field Anlelele at PGL Major Singapore

Astralis have completed a loan deal for Sashi's Anton "⁠Anlelele⁠" Huynh ahead of the PGL Major Singapore. The Danish org has been forced to use a roster that doesn't feature new AWPer-turned-rifler Nikita "⁠cmtry⁠" Samolotov because he is still a part of FUT's VRS roster. The VRS roster snafu has been caused by the fact that FUT haven't played five matches with their new sniper Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García and thus the EU side hasn't registered a new VRS core.

According to Dust2.dk and Sébastien "KRL" Perez's sources, Astrlais are set to acquire Ukrainian AWPer Mykyta "cmtry" Samolotov on loan from FUT to round out their international roster.
