These former teammates include Andreas &#8220;kiR&#8221; Kirstein, Oliver &#8220;kwezz&#8221; Rasmussen, and Mathias &#8220;PR1mE&#8221; Carlsen. During his time with Tricked, which lasted from January 2020 to August 2021, Lucky participated in more than 250 different maps and contributed to the team&#8217;s success in various Danish domestic competitions.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 19-year-old was unable to reproduce the same level of individual prowess while playing for Astralis. As a result, he ended up playing as an underdog,\u00a0rather than serving as the front runner\u00a0for the team across all maps. During the time that he was playing under Lukas &#8220;gla1ve&#8221; Rossander, Lucky competed in a number of notable tournaments, including the PGL Stockholm Major and the BLAST Premier World Final in 2021, as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/iem-katowice\/\" title=\"IEM Katowice betting guide\">IEM Katowice<\/a> in February 2022. According to HLTV, during his time with Astralis, he maintained a rating of 0.95 on average.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky was benched after IEM Katowice to\u00a0make room in the Astralis\u00a0roster for the incoming sharpshooter Asger &#8220;farlig&#8221; Jensen. In May, the 19-year-old player was allowed to become a free agent, and after a few weeks, he signed a contract to return to Tricked.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the move, Lucky confessed that it was a relief to return to a stable and familiar environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After being in a place where it was very turbulent and at times chaotic with many replacements on the team, it\u2019s very nice to be back in a place where you know you feel at home and where you know how things work,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Tricked&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer,\u00a0Morten Jensen, admitted that the team lacked some of Lucky&#8217;s skills and potency after his departure, and he is excited to be reconnecting with the talented Danish AWPer.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow at 11am Central Time, Lucky will compete once more under the Tricked name in the $50,000 online event Elisa Invitational Spring. The match will be played versus EC Kyiv.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both Tricked and Astralis mutually agreed to not make public the money value\u00a0of the transfer.<\/p>\n<p><a
