G2.Kinguin have announced that they have acquired the services of dignitas's Philip 'aizy' Aistrup for an undisclosed fee.

Following the simultaneous announcement that fnatic have decided to sign G2 Swede Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman to their team in lieu of Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten's departure, it has now been announced that G2 in turn acquired the services of Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup of dignitas to fill out their squad.

aizy shined at the CEVO Season 8 finals last weekend with a consistent performance that turned heads and a transfer fee has now been paid by G2 with the organisation buying the player out from dignitas.

The Danish player has been a part of the current dignitas team since its inception at the beginning of this year, and was a part of the CPH Wolves core before that as well.

aizy released a statement on his signing:

"I am happy to announce that I am officially a part of G2. I am glad that I have got the chance to play for such a skilled team and for such a professional organisation. I am very much looking forward to making an impact with these guys, and hopefully we will do big things! I would also like to thank dignitas for having me during all this time, and the players there."

This acquisition by G2 now means that the team comprises one Swedish player, two Norwegians, one Dane, and one Portuguese player, bringing the squad more back in line with its pan-European beginnings.

G2 now have the following roster:

dignitas have now been reduced to a four-man roster, which the team will have to either fill with a stand-in or with a new player ahead of the team's matches taking place today.

aizy will be seen in action for G2 today as the team have multiple upcoming games in the next few hours.
