dev1ce will not play for Astralis at Elisa Masters Espoo 2022
The Danish esports organization Astralis has presented its roster, which will perform at the upcoming Elisa Masters Espoo 2022. It is noteworthy that dev1ce was not included in the application, which continues to prepare for a return to the professional scene. The place of the Danish sniper will go to kristou, who, together with MistR, will help Astralis at the tournament in Finland.
It's a real pleasure to have a group of players on our Astralis Talent team who are ready to step into the main roster when the need arises. We've all seen how MistR has helped us with virtually zero prep time and I'm sure kristou can do the same.
As for dev1ce, I am very happy to see how he immediately became a central part of the team, contributing to everything we hoped for. His sense of the game, skills and pure personality were evident from day one, but despite the fact that we all really want him to play in his first tournament, as we mentioned when we signed him, we have time to make everything is correct, without forcing anything. It's all about making room for the best version of "dev1ce" we've seen. Astralis has many reasons to be optimistic these days.
Kasper Hvidt, sporting director of Astralis
Recall that dev1ce returned to Astralis at the end of October, interrupting his almost year-long vacation. In turn, kristou became a player of Astralis Talent back in August. In a few months, the 20-year-old Dane became the winner of NPF 2022, and also took part in the WePlay Academy League Season 6.
Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 will be held from November 16 to 20 in the Finnish city of Espoo at the Espoo Metro Arena. Twelve teams from Europe will take part in the championship, which will compete for a prize pool of $200,000, as well as a ticket to Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023.
