Dev1ce About His Debut Tournament With Astralis: "I Won't Lie: It Was Great To Be Back!"

Nikolay dev1ce Rydtz gave an interview to the pley.gg portal, in which he talked about his first tournament with Astralis after his return.

The Return

Astralis's sniper is happy to return and play again with the team on the pro stage.

I won't lie: it was great to come back! I'm still a little rusty, it's obvious in some situations, but in general, I'm just glad to come back and feel myself in the team. Everything always comes together in the team, and I'm disappointed with the result, but it was amazing to come back.

We remind you that Astralis lost to HEET in the quarter-finals of CCT North Europe Season 2 with a score of 2-0. At the same time, dev1ce is a little sly about his "rustiness" because he showed amazing statistics. His average rating for two matches was 7.4, which made him the second best player in the tournament. Dev1ce hardly lost his form.

Match Against HEET

Dev1ce is disappointed with the defeat against HEET, talks about the team's mistakes, but mentions that the opponents also showed a reasonable level.

We should have won both maps, but honestly, we made too many mistakes, myself included. And, of course, I have to compliment HEET, who kept us from dominating and afroo was a constant nuisance. He was very good, as was his team.

And dev1ce is indeed right about Aurilen afroo Drapier. The French sniper finished the match with KD 67-48 and did not allow the Dane to reveal his potential. Afroo is currently the second best player in the tournament.

What's Next?

Dev1ce believes that despite both defeats, Astralis is on the right track, and the team can develop to the highest level.

The result of the game will still not overshadow the overall good feeling. We have room to grow, and I am confident we are on the right track and will only improve: the team and me. So, it's a bad result, a good feeling.

Dev1ce made a splash with the return of Astralis and made that buzz even louder with his fantastic gameplay. If this continues, the Danish team can fully return to the tier-1, and dev1ce will be able to fight again with Alexander s1mple Kostylev in a face-to-face meeting.

When Will Astralis Play?

Unfortunately, the season for the Danish team is over, and we will be able to see these five only next year. We are waiting for the growth of Astralis's results.
