Could device be benched at Astralis?
The Astralis team hasn’t played up to their best in 2021, and there could be some roster changes on the way.
Astralis has hit the lowest we have seen them in years. Several early exits have shaken the solid foundation, that the legendary Danish team stands on.
After s1mple´s comment about the surprising roster from Astralis at practice, it seems like Astralis are opening up for a roster change, where there could be many possible outcomes.
The rumors have been flying around, that Astralis has been seen on the server practicing without their star AWP'er Nicolai 'device' Reedtz. A move that could seem strange given the fact, that he is their best performing player. But the Danish AWP'er has talked openly about the possibility of taking a break, like his two teammates Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander and Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth did last year.
With over six months until the next Major, it could perhaps be the right time for the talented AWP'er to recharge the batteries, which would also give his team a chance to shake things up after the lackluster performances lately.
Danish CS:GO analyst Jacob "Pimp" Winneche hinted at some big news incoming today on his Twitter.
Astralis is scheduled to participate at DreamHack Master Spring next week.
