zonic to step in for Astralis in first IEM Oakland game

14-11-2017 12:12

Due to health issues, Nicolai "device" Reedtz, was not able to leave for IEM Oakland in time, so Astralis will be using their coach Danny "zonic" Sørensen in their game against NiP.

Earlier today, the Danish organization informed their fans via Twitter that the team's main AWP and star player Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz wasn't able to depart for the upcoming North American event at the same time as his teammates, due to sickness. His delay means that he will not be able to make it in time for Astralis' first match, that is also the opening match of the tournament.

Astralis will be tagging in zonic for the match against NiP

In the game against against Ninjas in Pyjamas, that is scheduled for 20:00 , Astralis will be using their coach Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen, with device set to make it in time for their 22:30 match against Cloud9.

This will not be the first time we see zonic getting back in the player's spot for Astralis at a big LAN event. The 31-year-old previosly stepped in for his team in the first season of ELEAGUE and the ESL One Cologne 2016 Major, with both outings being fairly successful for the Danes.

Good luck zonic! Too bad for devve :/

2017-11-14 20:08

Ahh yes.... so sick he couldn't fly out the same time as the rest of his teammates... unless he's dying he was partying. makes sense.

2017-11-14 18:58

He more than likely missed the flight and sickness in the excuse, partying a Monday is kinda weird, and its not a special holiday in Denmark.

2017-11-14 20:17

its all on zonic hes got so much work on his hands gets the first one gets the second one GETS THE THIRD ONE 2vs1 o nicely from zonic one more remaining and hes gonna peekk out and hes gonna win it
