Astralis was the star and face of his team, his transfer to NiP was one of the biggest sales of CS:GO esports, not only because of the big value of its value ($1000), but also because dev1ce was also the star and face of Astralis. He helped the org win four CS:GO Majors and a wide variety of S-tier championships. Dev1ce was expecting to turn NiP, a team that has failed to get to the next level, but never went as planned. The 26-year-old entered Sweden in April 2021 and managed only one tournament in October, the IEM Fall Regional Regional Major Ranking (RMR). NiP did not get anywhere close to winning big events like PGL Stockholm Major, ESL Pro League season 13, IEM Cologne, BLAST Premier Fall Finals and BLAST Premier World Final. Astralis have been out of the battle since dev1ces departure, and the recently-appointed star players who blamedF Bremerand Kristian k0nfig Wienecke weren’t enough to help the team in the last tournaments. They still have a great dedicated AWPer and saw the in-game leader gla1ve Rossander unsuccessfully fill the position in the last week. Although dev1ce would perfectly suit Astralis’ current lineup, the negotiations might be difficult. He signed three-year contract with NiP, and the organization won’t likely allow him to leave for cheap.
