Astralis confirm device return at the Major

11-1-2018 11:26

Astralis have formally confirmed that Nicolai "device" Reedtz will play for the team at ELEAGUE Major Boston.

The 22-year-old returns to Astralis' roster after missing the last three events of 2017, BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen, the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals and the ECS Season 4 Finals, due to medical reasons.

Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman filled in for Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz in Copenhagen, where Astralis finished second to SK, while Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel was the team's fifth player in Odense and Cancun, where they placed 9th-10th and 3rd-4th, respectively.

device will be Astralis' fifth at the Major

In a video posted on Astralis' Twitter, device admitted that it was "tough" to be on the sidelines during this period and stated that he is "looking forward" to competing at the Major.

As one of the top eight finishers from PGL Major Krakow, Astralis have secured direct entry into the ELEAGUE Major Boston's New Legends Stage, which kicks off on January 19.

The Danish team will attend the Major with:

Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen
Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth
Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye
Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz
Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander

Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen (coach)

He cried online that if they had Device, Astralis probably would have had better results (winning championship in one case). But if you look at the stats Dennis and Rubino were better than Glaive. I know he is IGL, but at this lvl IGL's need to show up as well... if not better to be a coach than IGL (IMO). Look it up.. it's on Twitter. Fer from SK burned him sometimes after his BabyRage. If you don't find it.. maybe I can help you ;)

Hell Yeah!!! WB!!! <3

2018-01-11 14:55

Excited as well.. although I'm more of a SK/VP fan. I like Device (and Xypex and Kjaerby). Not so big fan of Glaive and (I don't know why) can't stand Dupreeh lol (maybe meeting him in person might change this ;)

2018-01-12 03:24

Well all people have their opinion, but still having him back just made my year. The team wasn't really the same without him <3

YEEEEEEEEEEEE, MA BOOOOOOOOOOOOI

Welcome back

Massa

Thank god.

yeee

ez 4 ence

Its time for Astralis

devv godd

No more dupreeh awp?

looks sick

He looks heavily sedated on that vid.

Just another major for him to choke He will be a beast the entire swiss rounds, maybe in the beginning of the playoffs as well, but if Astralis goes deep in tournament, he will start choking

Could be but doesn't have to become true. But why not appreciate him for that? He's a huge part of why Astralis even makes those deep runs. If he chokes, there's four other players ready to tear shit up.

2018-01-11 15:11

Ez major for astralis

well someone's gotta go and farm all the exit and eco frags...

well someone's gotta make fallen his bitch again

Ironic

2018-01-11 13:56

You don't have the right to speak since I do not know your real nationality, most likely from a third world country.

2018-01-11 13:58

Flags on a forum matter you that much? Pathetic..

2018-01-11 14:02

The fact that you can't speak proper English tells me you are ashamed of your nationality.

Not really.. I just don't care enough of it..

2018-01-11 14:07

Pls learn English as well.

wow that tag is too dumb

2018-01-11 12:02

You could say Astralis 'deviced' a good plan

2018-01-11 12:16

nice he can save the AWP every round and then drop it to dupreeh. this will be good for Astralis

2018-01-11 12:17

Maybe they will change the frequency of Dupreeh AWP'ing, raising it a bit, preferably to a level where he for some rounds are the main AWP'er.

2018-01-11 12:19

they'll play like coldzera and FalleN
