Our second interviewee at DreamHack ZOWIE Open Leipzig was Nicolai "device" Reedtz, who walked us through playing against dignitas and the thriller that was the mousesports encounter. We also asked about the new organization, for how long it's been in the works, and whether the player believes Astralis are the best-paid team currently.

Astralis' debut went quite well for Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz and company, who beat their Danish comrades from dignitas before taking on mousesports. 

The second match was a double-overtime thriller, from which Astralis came out victorious especially due to three clutches from Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth and Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen.

We managed to get a hold of device for him to walk us through the way to semi-finals as well as the creation of Astralis and the deals that the team refused along the way.
