device (Nicolai Reedtz) — CS2 Professional Player Settings and Gear
About device
Nicolai 'device' Reedtz is the most decorated AWPer in Counter-Strike history and the cornerstone of the Astralis dynasty that won four Major championships between 2018 and 2019. His AWPing style is the textbook definition of consistency — device rarely makes mistakes, rarely overpeeks, and rarely loses duels he should win, making him the most fundamentally sound sniper the game has ever produced. The four Major titles with Astralis (FACEIT Major, IEM Katowice 2019, StarLadder Berlin, PGL Stockholm proxy) represent a level of sustained championship excellence that may never be equaled. Device's approach to the game is almost scientific — his positioning, utility usage, and timing are all meticulously refined to minimize risk while maximizing impact. His move to NIP and subsequent return to competitive play with 100 Thieves alongside rain showed his desire to compete at the highest level remains undiminished. Device's influence on how the AWP position is played at the professional level cannot be overstated — he proved that consistency and intelligence could be more valuable than raw mechanical flashiness.
