device: "sometimes I have problems"

Our first interview from day one in Cologne is with Nicolai "device" Reedtz, whose TSM advanced to the quarter-finals following a thrashing of NiP on de_cache.

TSM started the event off with a rocky de_train, as Renegades gave them a hard time in the beginning as Terrorists, but managed to pull through in the end with a long streak.

NiP were their second opponents for the quarter-finals spot on de_cache, but it was a match which TSM took over convincingly. We caught up with Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz afterwards to get his thoughts on his team's matches and the team's preparation:
