Rumor: device might return to Astralis

As NIP have problems with their playstyle, there are more rumors appearing on the roster changes.

According to 1pv.fr and Dexerto, Nicolai “device” Reedtz might return to Astralis. Danish AWPer is looking for an option to escape a three-year contract with a Swedish organization. The last NIP results are depressing and the last tournament played with the full roster was a disastrous Blast Premier Fall Final 2021, where the Swedish team took the last place losing two matches in a row. According to insider information, device is not satisfied with the team as NIP didn’t win any tournaments in 2021.

Talking about Astralis, returning device to the roster is an excellent decision. The team hasn’t solved the AWP problem since device has left the team. Lucas “gla1ve” Rossander took the sniper rifle as Lucky wasn’t successful in this role. However, Philip “Lucky” Ewald showed a high level of individual skill in the rifler role.

If device returns, Lucky will be benched and Astralis might sell young rifler for a high price. But it will be difficult for the Danish sniper as there are two years of his contract with NIP left. Device didn’t attend Blast Premier World Final 2021 due to health issues.

Possible Astralis roster: Lucas “gla1ve” Rossander, Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth, Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke, Benjamin “blameF” Bremer, Nicolai “device” Reedtz.
