Astralis has confirmed the return of their star AWPer Nicolai ‘dev1ce‘ Reedtz right after their exit from the Perfect World Shanghai Major, resuming his place as br0 takes his exit from the organization.
As dev1ce stepped down from his role as the IGL, the roster was delivering promising results under the leadership of cadiaN. As we approached the end of the year, dev1ce stepped down from the roster citing stress induced health issues.
The indefinite hiatus from competitive Counter-Strike came to an end as dev1ce resumed his role as the primary AWPer of Astralis under the leadership of cadiaN right ahead of the new season.
Astralis failed to qualify for the Major as their run came to an end in the RMR. dev1ce was arguably the most instrumental piece of their system and his absence saw their preparation go out the window leading upto the RMR.
The addition of dev1ce would like see Astralis bounce back and a stark improvement in performance cannot be ruled out given the immense talent and experience in the roster.
