All players of the star lineup of Astralis have left the team
Nicolai dev1ce Reedtz leaves Astralis again
The era in the Danish esports scene has officially come to an end. The legendary sniper Nicolai dev1ce Reedtz has left Astralis. This is the player's second departure from the organization after his triumphant return in 2022.
During his last period under the banner of Astralis, dev1ce, despite being one of the best players in the history of Counter-Strike, could not repeat his past successes. His career in the 2010s was adorned with titles that remain benchmarks to this day: three major championships: Atlanta 2017, London 2018, Berlin 2019, victory in Intel Grand Slam Season 1 and many other S-Tier trophies.
However, the 2025 season for the player and the team was ambiguous. The highest achievement of Astralis was 2nd place at PGL Astana 2025 in May. Otherwise, the team was content with places in the middle or end of the tournament bracket at major events, and the last result was 17-19 place at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 in early December.
The lineup also left Emil Magisk Reif, who returned to Astralis only in the fall of 2025. Thus, from the legendary lineup of Astralis, which dominated in the late 2010s, there is not a single player left in the organization.
The current lineup of Astralis now looks like this:
According to unconfirmed reports, the next team for Nicolai dev1ce Reedtz could be the North American 100 Thieves. If the rumors are confirmed, he will be awaited by a meeting with a former teammate and captain of the legendary Astralis — Lukas gla1ve Rossander, who is now the head coach of 100 Thieves. There is no official confirmation of this information yet.
