Dev1ce – Astralis

In this IEM Cologne 2023, we see the Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz that we enjoyed in the golden age of Astralis a few years ago. The Danish legend left everything in every match he played in this tournament. Thanks to that, he led Astralis to a surprising semifinals after an excellent victory over Heroic in the quarterfinals.

Dev1ce led a very young squad to take them one step closer to the tournament’s Grand Final. Although they lost to G2 Esports by 0-2, much credit must be given to this Astralis that, without a doubt, seems completely renewed. Below, we will show dev1ce’s stats at the IEM Cologne 2023.
