Astralis vs. Movistar Riders Roobet Cup match postponed

Group B's opening match at the Roobet Cup has had to be rescheduled amid server issues.

Astralis and Movistar Riders' opening Roobet Cup 2022 series reached an abrupt halt at the 7-6 mark on the opening map of Mirage after it was announced on stream that the machine running the game's server had gone down, making it unable to restore the match to its original state.

After a lengthy pause that saw the organizers attempt to resolve the issue without success, Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet and Martin "⁠trace⁠" Heldt's squads agreed to postpone the match to Thursday, June 23.

Astralis' match against Movistar Riders will resume tomorrow

The exact starting time is yet to be determined, with four other matches scheduled for the day that will see the event move into the Group C and D openers.

Astralis were playing the match against Movistar Riders with Astralis Talent member Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen standing in for Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander due to the in-game leader feeling unwell.

HLTV.org has learned that the Danes will have to play out the rest of the opening map with the academy member before gla1ve can step back in, should the captain be fit to play in time for the rescheduled match.
