Pimp and Dennis will replace Device on the up-coming tournaments

The information appeared that Nicolai «dev1ce» Reedtz must miss BLAST Pro Series and ECS Season 4 bacause of the problems with health. During Intel Extreme Masters XII – Oakland, Nicolai was hospitalized because the problem advanced. We would remind you that device has hiatus hernia, but in March 2017 he refused the surgery.

Nicolai «dev1ce» Reedtz comments:

«I was very surprised that I was hospitalized in Oakland, and the flight home afterwards wasn't fun either. Right now I am feeling better, but I am going through a lot of testing still. The timing is really bad, and I was looking forward to play in front of the first home crowd we've had in Denmark, but health comes first and I'm sure I will get this opportunity another time. I wouldn't have been able to play to my own and everyone else's expectations and there was really no question whether I was going to play or not. The doctors are still running tests while they are unsure what is causing my symptoms, but for now I won't be playing. I'm really just looking forward to solving this so I can be back as soon as possible. I know the guys will play their hearts out in Royal Arena, and I will be watching and cheering from home!»

It should be mentioned that the management already found stand-ins for the player. Dennis «dennis» Edman will take his position on BLAST Pro Series, and Jacob «Pimp» Winneche will replace him in online matches against ECS Season 4.
