Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz (known as device and devve prior to 2016) (born September 8, 1995) is a Danish professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and former professional Counter-Strike: Source player who is currently playing for Astralis as the AWPer. He is known as one of the best players of all time, consistently playing at a very high individual level since 2014.
During his 5-year tenure with Astralis from January 2016, when the organization was founded by the Team Questionmark players, to April 2021, when he was acquired by NIP, dev1ce won four Majors, earned the MVP award at two of them, and won numerous other tournaments
This also confirms the HLTV’s report from Dec. 19, which pointed out that Astralis aimed to sign Buzz following the unsuccessful attempts to bring in Sjuush and Staehr from Heroic and Sprout, respectively.
“We have some extremely skilled and experienced players, who, on their best days, reach an extraordinarily high level,” Peter “casle” Ardenskjold, the new main coach of the team, said in the announcement. “[Buzz] not only has a lot of the energy and attitude we are looking for he also has the qualities to give the team a real boost,” he added.
In the past three months, Buzz has put out some impressive statistics, as he boasted a 1.10 rating 2.0, 1.17 impact, and 80.9 average damage, according to HLTV.
As a result, MistR will return to Astralis Talent, the organization’s CS:GO academy.
Buzz’s signing completes the reconstruction of Astralis following a poor second half of the 2022 season, where the organization missed its first Major in history. The revamp of the roster also featured the return of Nicolai “device” Reedtz and the promotion of casle to the main coach role.
