The highly anticipated
re-debut
of Nicolai “device” Reedtz for Astralis has been
postponed. The 27-year-old AWPer will be sitting out the final event of the year for the Danish organization, Elisa Masters Espoo. He will be replaced by academy player Kristoffer “kristou” Aamand.
The news sees device miss out on an entire year of competition, as he benched himself from NIP’s starting lineup at the end of 2021.
“[device’s] game sense, skills, and pure personality have been very obvious from day one,” Astralis’ Director of Sports Kasper Hvidt said. “But even though we’re all eager for him to play his first tournament, we have time to do things right without forcing anything.”
