​UPDATE (12:36 p.m. ET): Additional sources have since confirmed to DBLTAP this roster move has been final. The original story is below:

Snappi and JUGi are 100% joining OpTic, it's a done deal. Look for an update to their ESEA roster soon, per same sources as my report. — DeKay (@NWDeKay) April 24, 2018

North American organization OpTic Gaming is targeting Jakob "JUGi" Hansen and Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer in an attempt to move to a full Danish lineup, according to multiple sources.





JUGi and Snappi would replace Shahzeeb "ShahZaM" Khan and Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz on the active lineup. JUGi has spent the past six weeks on the Heroic bench for “personal reasons” but is a talented young AWPer, while Snappi has played for Heroic since August 2016 as the in-game leader. Since its inception, Heroic has often struggled against top international competition, periodically getting the odd upset to reach the later stages of tournaments. Losing star rifler Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså to North last year was a severe blow to the firepower of the squad.





OpTic has played the last two seasons of ESL Pro League in North America with two separate international rosters and is in line to qualify for the tournament's finals once again this season. Their third place position puts OpTic well within range to close out the season in a playoff spot. Per ESL Pro League Rules, OpTic would be able to play at the Finals with the Danish roster because the team has yet to use either of its two allotted roster moves this season.





The full proposed OpTic lineup includes JUGi, Snappi, Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke, Rene "cajunb" Borg and Nicklas "gade" Gade
