Astralis could skip EPL S6 Finals as device will miss event - Report

Nicolai "device" Reedtz will miss another event, ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals, with Astralis ready to pull out of the tournament in case WESA disallows the team from using Dennis "dennis" Edman.

According to a source close to the team, Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's slow recovery will prevent him from attending ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals with Astralis, who had just played BLAST Pro Series with Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman as a stand-in this weekend.

Astralis are looking into using the Swede once more at the Pro League Finals in Odense. Their situation can be compared to Liquid, who will have to use Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado at the finals as Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes wasn't allowed to play by WESA. That may become an issue for Astralis, as dennis also played the full online season of ESL Pro League with another team, GODSENT.

device's health issues continue

In case WESA denies Astralis their appeal regarding dennis, the team will pull out of ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals altogether, the source says.

When reached for a comment, RFRSH CEO Nikolaj Nyholm told HLTV.org that Astralis "are currently in talks with WESA and ESL about the situation".

Yes, that's why SK can't use boltz either. I guess they can use another stand-in but they don't want to? This is so strange.

There is also the thing with disco doplan, he played the EU minor open qualifier, and did qualify for the minor, but he didn't play at the actual minor with epsilon. While boltz and steel played the closed qualifier, which is still online portion of the qualifier, the difference that disco was allowed to play for fnatic in the major, but boltz and steel are not. So NA get screwed because they have a "closed qualifier" and EU haven't? how do make the ruling in this situation?

ESL loves scandals bro, if they let Astralis play with dennis and say a "no" to Liquid i won't be surpised. Roster lock is not a bad thing imo but if there's a problem about someone's health, you should help them. dennis was a player of GODSENT and could be unavailable but Astralis can take Pimp.

Why is that stupid? It's similar in football. A player, who played ni CL this season can't play for another team. So why is it stupid in this case? TL can use zews, he is the coach and was on the team the whole season. Astralis also has a coach, who could play - but they don't want to and ESL should follow their own rules.

the fanbase of Astralis is much bigger so they outclass North in terms of popularity (likely due to k0nfig's arrogance and cockiness)

it's not like astralis has no other option. they played good with dennis and it's obvious to use him again, but there are rules.... they either allow steel/boltz to play for liquid and sk respectively as well or they deny just all 3. i don't see an other fair solution. also with a prize pool of 750k i don't see why trying with zonic to reach maybe top 5-8 for a lot of cash is no option here. or playing for the fans in general. dumb move to say take it or leave it and i guess it fires back soon enough

I disagree. This is a different circumstance. While I think they will not be allowed to use Dennis and it is stupid not to compete with someone, there has to be some emergency situations that allow for Dennis to play. I think they play no matter what and should imo

they should just allow all 3 players in case they are not under contract with an other org involved in pro league 6. also they have the chance to pick up a player out of millions, just not one that played a whole season in this current league. so it's not like they have no option. it's a low attempt to blackmail esl as their fanbase could boycott the tournament. while it's obvious why they want dennis, the rules are there for something

SK/Liquid were roster moves, while the case of Astralis is a medical issue. Astralis should be allowed to use a stand in for the tournament since its a medical issue and not just a roster change.

sk is able to use a standin, you misunderstand this news. they also used pimp for their last league matches. there is only a conflict because dennis played the season for a different team, astralis is free to use one out of million csgo players tho including pimp or even their coach

It must be some exceptions! It's not like liquid situation when they swap players just to perform better, there is health issue. Astralis have to get chance to play with stand in.
2017-11-27 15:24

1 reply
there are clear rules in place in case of illness. astralis CAN play with a stand-in, just not someone who's already played the season on another team (dennis played on godsent). and they specifically want dennis to perform better than with another stand-in, so in that regard it's not really all that different from liquid.

it would be a complete joke if they allowed dennis here and deny steel. on the other hand why would u play a whole season just to drop out last second? why not play with zonic or even someone random? 750k prize pool and they have still a good chance to make top8 maybe even top5. if they used it as a pressure it will be a complete fail i guess. too bad

I think it's to put pressure on ESL, because they know the fan base will be all Astralis, and if they don't come, then the event would be pure trash

yea i think so too, but as i said above i assume it will fire back sooner than they think everyone knows esl does everything to get vp back to pro league with their constant rule changes etc to get back their fanbase, but after that steel decision (and open boltz decision) it's unprofessional to decide anything else. looking at season 5 finals prize distribution hltv.org/events/2557/esl-pro-league-seas.. even 12th place gets 33k so what a fucking dumb move to pull out imo. not that i don't understand why they want to play with dennis or anything, but they should play alone for the fans and in worst case with zonic. that's his job

Cause they both are way after the deadline. For other reasons, but the situation to the rules is the same. They both were to late. The reason doesnt really matter. Expect the rulebook would have a special clause , about sickness or smth, but it obviously have not.

I think they have a legit point here, their player can not attend due to illness, something they can do nothing about. Why would they attend with a lineup they are not comfortable (bringing in some random, or zonic who does not want to play).

what legit point do they have beyond "we don't want to"? illness is clearly handled in the rules, rules that astralis agreed to follow when the season started. you're saying that, because they "don't feel comfortable" following the rules, that's reason enough to let them break the rules? ridiculous.

Why can't Device play? He is such a pussy, the guy is not even hospitalized. Olof and Guardian played in condictions way worse than his, and if i am not mistaken, Fer played with only 10% of his hearing for at least 5 months. The thing is that he is at home hanging curtains with his GF, Ms. Emilia Teamruinner.

knowing that my friends need me? for sure I would (actually i've done it several times @ my previous real life job, calling sick days is not that easy or well accepted in the corporate world). And the thing is... There was no disclosure regarding what is wrong with him. They've runned several exams and no one made a single comment about his condictions, which leads us to understand that: 1) as he is not hospitalized we can assume that his illness is not that serious; 2) it could be a mental condiciton, which I really doubt, but it would make sense. Both scenarios end with Device being a pussy.

let's assume device still likes his job and wants to play. he goes to doctor and explains his situation another assumption. if the doctor say don't play you don't play. if you are ill and go to work sneezing all the time, you are an asshole.

And this is the thing, there was no disclosure regarding his condiction, which i find very odd since there is no reason to keep us in the dark (unless it is some mental issue). We are not talking about a mere cold or a flu here, he has been "sick" for a while now (more than 2 weeks). Judging by your words, I would bet that you've never worked on an office. When you have the flu it is ok to call a sick DAY... do this for two weeks and you'll get your ass fired as soon as you enter the front door. (Most comonly thing to happen is that when people feel sick they go to the office feeling bad, sneezing all the time, and wait until their bosses/hr department gives them the day off)

yeah sure man i know it's not good to be sick for prolonged time but everything could happen and why would he share his medical condition with the entire audience that's his business. it can be anything for all we know. it's most likely wrist problems or whatever since this is not a normal desktop job this is bit more intensive job.

yeah, you are right. In the end it may be some kind of physical injury due to repetitive strain. I guess that I was too harsh on him. But i still think that, as a public person he/astralis should at least disclose a little bit about the nature of his "ilness".

I get what youre saying, but Device has been sick for more than 2 weeks, since he had some trouble with his throat or stomach if im not mistaken, also the fact that he might want to hide facts about his ilness could be because he doesn't feel like he is ready or simply that the doctors have not been able to determine what is wrong with him.

rip device and astralis in general if dennis isnt allowed to play. tbh device should consider retirement if his condition gets worse after his full recovery, otherwise he'll likely end up with problems even worse or even meeting his own end like that

Since it's because Device is recovering and not because the team swaps players like pornstars swap cum, I think they should allow it.
