Andreas Højsleth

Andreas Højsleth, better known as Xyp9x , is a Danish former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player and current assistant coach for Counter-Strike 2 team MOUZ. He became the first (along with three of his teammates) to win four majors in CS:GO, and to win three majors consecutively during his stint with Astralis.

Højsleth was born and raised in Aars, North Denmark Region. He was most famously a member of the team Astralis. He is a former member of Team Solomid and Team Dignitas. The name Xyp9x was conceived by typing random keys on his keyboard. He was voted the 13th best CS:GO player of 2017 and 2018 by HLTV.org.

On April 19th 2023, Xyp9x was benched and transferred to the academy team of Astralis. It was also announced on the same day that he would be replaced by Alexander "Altekz" Givskov. On March 11th 2024, Xyp9x left the organisation after 8 years. Five days later, he joined Mouz as an assistant coach.
