Contentment is key to any career growth. One cannot stay happy if one can’t achieve anything significant out of investments made. Device seems to have fallen into that trap.
The last few weeks has been quite tumultuous for Device. Social Media and media only aggravates the situation. Regarding Astralis, NiP Device at the moment has no interest.

There have been multiple false reports over the last few days regarding the potential transfer of Nicolai “Device” Reedtz back to Astralis. But, Nicolai has mentioned otherwise.
Even though he is unwell, NiP has provided him space, as he stated. So, he looks to recover back to his peak and quickly help NiP become competitive again.
A lot rests on Device’s shoulders at the moment. Nicolai was brought in to give NiP the edge for winning their second Valve Major.

Device looks to recover and further support Ninjas in Pyjamas.
The last time NiP won a major was in 2014. It was the ESL One Cologne, a cinderella run by all means. They clawed their way back from Lower brackets to win the Major title against Fnatic.
NiP looks to achieve that Title once again. Or, at least best the last record they achieved. But, it is all a pipe dream right now.
Hopefully, with Device ‘s return to the fray after his recovery, it might be a reality quite soon. Hence, get well soon Nicolai “Device” Reedtz.
