devve is back. No, for real this time.
More than a month after returning to the dumpster fire that is Astralis, device will finally debut at CCT North Europe Series 2 playoffs.
Which is a pretty good idea — he gets to ease back into tier two Counter-Strike before 2023 properly kicks off.
But, after device skipped Elisa Masters Espoo because he ‘wasn’t ready’ to play it does seem a bit strange.
If you ask us, the second-best player of all time probably would have done fine against the likes of HAVU and BIG. But whatever, it is what it is.
There’s a reason the CCT Tour has made it into the newsletter, maybe for the first time. We’re right to be excited about device’s return, he is one of the most consistent star players of all time, the forefather of modern AWPing.
Everyone, ourselves included, is tired of talking about device outside of the game. It’s both boring and unfair to speculate about the reasons behind his absence.
He’s a fucking good CS:GO player. Let’s move on from all the nonsense now, and just enjoy one of the very best we have. He deserves that.
