Video: device - MVP of EPL Season 8 Finals

22-12-2018 19:17

To commemorate Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz' HLTV.org/betway MVP accolade at the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals in Odense, Denmark, we have put together a series of the 23-year-old's best plays from the event.

device lead Astralis in their Intel Grand Slam victory with a 1.26 rating throughout the tournament, besting his closest competitor for the MVP title Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic by picking up the pace in the late stages of the grand final against Liquid.

device holding the 12th MVP medal of his career

In Odense, the 23-year-old was in the top five out of eight stats leaderboards and managed the most total opening kills (49) throughout the tournament. device now has 12 MVP medals in his cabinet, seven of them coming from performances this year: ECS Season 5 Finals, ELEAGUE Premier, the FACEIT Major, BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, IEM Chicago, ECS Season 6 Finals and the EPL Season 8 Finals on home soil.

Below you can watch a compilation of some of the best plays from the Dane in Odense, created by our own Filip "filq" Szatkowski:

reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/a6.. You think MVPs = skill I guess MSL=twistzz then

2018-12-23 11:29

Never said Mvps = Skill It just makes a difference in rankings in Hltv top 20 Device will be #1 in hltv's top 20. Overall he had a better year with 8 Tier 1 lan wins and 2 blast wins 7 mvps + 3 evps While s1mple only had 1 legit tier 1 title that being Esl cologne. Device stats wise is behind but if Hltv rankings work like i think then devices stats will be enough. Best example 2014 kenny S1mple didnt have enough achievments Simple is a better player but device had a better 2018 and its hardly debatable

2018-12-23 11:43

S1mple has 11 top 4s and 4 tournament wins And yeah Kenny had only 1 mvp

2018-12-23 11:58

such a stupid boy. +1 to u bro

2018-12-22 21:54

navi fanboy defending simple no matter what nothing new

2018-12-22 23:32

U better not say, k? Merry xmas tho

2018-12-24 18:41

and pronax and zeus never won any so ?

2018-12-22 20:09

wdym they never won any? tournaments or MVPs? ofc IGLs don't win MVPs, but with your logic everyone who wins tournaments is valuable to get MVP. That's what you said.

2018-12-22 20:16

Simple has 6 MVPs and they are much more statistically impressive than devices. What's your point?

20 replies

did he win events with his mvps ? no ? /closed

19 replies

he won 4 tournaments?

2018-12-22 20:15

only 1 being the legit one ????? 2 mvps irrelevant since he lost

2018-12-22 21:18

You're so delusional lmao MVPs aren't irrelevant just because he didn't win the tournaments. It actually shows how good he is.

It means nothing if he cant win the tournament Mvp and the tournament is a different talk

Whatever you're arguing Device won way more tier 1 titles and he has more MVPs it doesn't matter how you compare them personal achievements MVPs, EVPs or Titles won Device wins in both categories.

2018-12-23 04:27

yea put s1mple in Astralis and he would win too... who cares about teams achievments when we are talking about players individually?

2018-12-23 04:29

s1mple would ruin Astralis lmao they would win too wtf, they rely on tactics, communication, fundamentals, team work, utility that's why s1mple played them many times this year and played like a fucking silver bot many times this isn't HR, no stat padding here boy compare his overall rating against Astralis this year @ LAN to some team like HR. Yes individually Device won more MVPs this year at WAY better events than s1mple. s1mple farmed his stats all year against lower teams, he can never do that against Astralis or Liquid, Device does it against any team.

2018-12-23 04:33

Delusion at its finest

2018-12-23 04:45

States facts = delusional when talking to HLTV fanboys. Go check his stats against shit pug teams @ LAN like HR vs his stats against Liquid and Astralis after that stfu thank you.

2018-12-23 04:48

He has the best stats vs top 5 teams nt tho. Delusion confirmed.

2018-12-23 12:01

No he doesn't NiKo has way better stats against Astrlias & Liquid, S1mple has good stats against shit teams like mousesports.

2018-12-23 23:31

2018-12-22 21:52

This is just sweet memories from a perfect event in Odense. Still impressed by Liquids play during most of the event. It was very refreshing to watch. But unfortunately Unbeatable Astralis destroyed them. In the 3 last maps in the final. And what a crowd.

2018-12-22 22:45

Boring. I don't remember a device flick

2018-12-22 23:51
