ECSTATIC Begin Full Rebuild as Buzz and Anlelele Exit, nut nut Listed for Transfer
ECSTATIC's rebuild has entered its final phase. The Danish organization has confirmed that Christian "Buzz" Andersen and Anton "Anlelele" Huynh have officially left the team following the expiration of their contracts, while Martin "nut nut" Holm Vestergaard has been placed on the transfer list as the club explores its options for the upcoming season.
The announcement leaves ECSTATIC without an active lineup after months of gradual roster changes. Unless a transfer for nut nut is completed in the coming weeks, the organization says he could remain as part of next season's project, but as things stand, ECSTATIC face the task of building an entirely new roster from scratch.

What Happened?
Friday's announcement completes a process that began in April, when ECSTATIC benched four members of their roster following a disappointing first half of the year. At the time, Buzz, Anlelele, nicoodoz and TMB were all moved to inactive status, leaving nut nut as the only active player around whom the organization intended to rebuild.
That plan gradually changed over the following months. TMB secured a move to Phantom in May, while nicoodoz followed him to the same organization in early July. With Buzz and Anlelele now officially leaving as free agents and nut nut becoming available for transfer, the roster that started 2026 no longer exists.
ECSTATIC stated that it will continue searching for a buyer for nut nut over the coming weeks. Should no suitable offer arrive, the 20-year-old could still be retained as the foundation of a rebuilt lineup.
Why This Matters
ECSTATIC have long been one of Denmark's most recognizable organizations outside the country's elite teams, regularly competing in European tier-two tournaments and producing players capable of moving into higher-profile lineups.
However, results throughout 2026 failed to meet expectations. The team slipped outside the top 50 in Valve's Regional Standings, struggled to qualify for major international events, and ultimately opted for a complete reset rather than incremental changes.
With all five players now either transferred, released, or available for transfer, the organization enters one of the most significant rebuilding periods in its recent history.
Roster Breakdown
Christian "Buzz" Andersen
Buzz joined ECSTATIC at the start of 2026 after his spell with OG, bringing valuable tier-one experience to the Danish lineup. Expectations were high, but the project never found consistent form, and his contract has now expired.
Anton "Anlelele" Huynh
Anlelele had been one of ECSTATIC's longest-serving players and remained part of several different roster iterations. His departure closes a lengthy chapter with the organization after nearly two years representing the team.
Martin "nut nut" Holm Vestergaard
At just 20 years old, nut nut remains one of Denmark's more promising young riflers. Although ECSTATIC originally planned to rebuild around him, the organization has instead made him available for transfer while leaving open the possibility of keeping him if no suitable deal materializes.
Key Players
Buzz
A former Astralis and OG player, Buzz brought experience from top-level Counter-Strike but was unable to help ECSTATIC establish itself among Europe's strongest tier-two teams.
Anlelele
One of the organization's longest-tenured players, Anlelele offered continuity during multiple roster rebuilds before ultimately departing as a free agent.
nut nut
Still only 20, nut nut remains an attractive prospect for organizations seeking a young Danish rifler with extensive experience in regional competition.
nicoodoz
Although already gone from ECSTATIC, his move to Phantom earlier this summer accelerated the dismantling of the roster and removed one of its most experienced players.
TMB
His transfer to Phantom marked the first major departure following April's benching announcement and signaled that ECSTATIC's rebuild would be more extensive than initially expected.
Interesting Facts and Context
- ECSTATIC have not played an official match since April, when the organization decided to bench most of its lineup.
- Buzz and nicoodoz were both signed from OG at the beginning of 2026 in an attempt to strengthen the Danish core.
- The departures leave ECSTATIC needing to assemble an almost entirely new roster before returning to competition.
- The organization has consistently served as a stepping stone for Danish talent aiming to reach higher-tier European teams.
What Comes Next?
ECSTATIC's immediate priority is resolving nut nut's future while identifying a new core capable of returning the organization to regular international competition.
Whether the club rebuilds around remaining Danish talent or looks further afield remains unclear, but with every starting player now gone or available for transfer, the next roster announcement is likely to define ECSTATIC's direction for the remainder of the 2026 season.
