Sashi Adds Australian Duo to Target Asia VRS Major Qualification

Danish organization Sashi has announced the temporary addition of Australian players Tynan "TjP" Purtell and Jordan "Hatz" Bajic. The move is designed to maximize the team's chances of qualifying for the PGL Major Singapore by shifting their competition focus to the Asia Valve Regional Standings (VRS).

By adding the Australian duo, Sashi now fields three players from the region. The organization confirmed to HLTV that Anton "Anlelele" Huynh holds Vietnamese citizenship. This regional shift allows Sashi to move from 54th place in the Europe VRS to becoming the fifth-highest-ranked team in Asia, placing them within the qualification zone for the Singapore Major.

The roster change is a short-term arrangement. Sashi stated that Casper "Cabbi" Jensen and Mikkel "MistR" Thomsen will be "stepping out of the starting lineup for the coming month." TjP joins from THUNDER dOWNUNDER, while Hatz previously played for Renegades and Rooster.

Sashi follows other teams like BC.Game and WW in adopting an Asian core to secure Major eligibility. The new lineup, coached by Nicolai "HUNDEN" Petersen, will debut on Wednesday in the closed qualifier for 1win Private Club Season 2. The team is also scheduled to attend Stake Pulse Beat III in Stockholm next week.
