Video: device - MVP of BLAST Pro Series São Paulo

8-4-2019 11:26

HLTV.org presents a video montage celebrating Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's performance at BLAST Pro Series São Paulo 2019, where he was awarded the HLTV.org & betway MVP award.

Astralis' dedicated AWPer, had an outstanding showing over the course of BLAST Pro Series São Paulo, where he averaged a 1.35 rating to help the team to win the title.

This marks device's 13th MVP title, the first since the start of the year after he collected seven medals in 2018, claiming the second spot in the top 20 ranking.

device's outstanding form greatly contributed to Astralis' victory in Brazil

As a celebration of the player's incredible showing our video editor João "Error" Ferreira has created a compilation of some of device's most exciting plays from the event, found below:

It doesn't matter if he has insane plays. He is incredibly consistent and dominating with crucial AWP shots.

"crucial awp shots" the most anchor awp of the scene, lol. 30 kills with awp in the video 0 crucials shots. device only delivers cause he plays on the best team in the world. You can put ANY other awp in his place, astralis will still be number 1. Who makes this team top 1 is gla1ve, x9pex and magisk. Even dupreeh is better than device on this team.

2019-04-09 01:41

Im not saying that device is bad, cause he is not. He is a good player, tier1. But for sure he didn't deserve all this mvp medals. The other players are more impactful and important than him.

I thought I was the only one who thought this... He is literally behind a teammate or two for all those frags except like 1 lol. This guy does great at his job, but is in no way close tot he best player. System fits him and his stats. I feel Niko and Simple make their own plays not have people do it for them. Idk though. Just imo

yeah, exactly always a mate for support around usually baiting him and just simple trading.

2019-04-08 15:19

I think in a team sport, the best player is the one who is able to help his team to victory as many times as possible. You may say Niko and simple are more mechanically skilled. However, it's hard to say if mechanical skill is even the most valuable skill for CSGO. Perhaps it's positioning, teamplay and the like due to which sometimes teams end up winning full eco rounds as well.

yeah, but this "teamplay" is not up on the individual players. its about the players around you. with astralis ez navi not so ez faze impossible

Ya, I agree. In this sense even the bottom fragger has an equal role to play. Makes me wonder whether it even makes any sense to give the GOAT title to an individual, because he would've achieved nothing without his team.

No for real do you believe that blast pro series tournaments are good and tier 1? Stop being delusional because Astralis is invited. They just want to make money out of those tournaments. That's the reason why the tournament lasts 1 or 2 days at max. Did you see who they invited ? Fuckingg Cloud9 and NIP haha. Nip is trash and cloud9 didn't even play an official game with their new roaster. Also there are better teams who didn't get invited because the hltv ranking for example shows team achievements across the years. For instance, MIBR, NIP shouldn't be in the top 10 tbh.

2019-04-09 00:40

Let's get something straight. You can't get MVPs if you aren't making finals and in most cases winning them. Device will naturally have a higher chance of obtaining these because he's in Astralis. You can't debate GOAT or top1 players based on MVPs. Watch some matches and decide who naturally is more skilled, results aside. I think we all know the answer.

He's probably the best anchor in the role but yhea without teamwork he's a top 5 player like he was consistently across the years. On the T side however even if he used to be a better rifler, he can only pull this off against lesser teams with obviously less skill than him. Device is in theory the star player but inside Astralis he doesn't feel like one to be honest because they don't need to have a hard carry. People in the chat calling him GOAT, as if there's even a goat to begin with. It's just some shitty narratives invented by shitty casters that don't understand the game because they don't play it. Get over with it. For instance, s1mple was the best player in the world in 2018 and still is stats wise; I wouldn't say he's the GOAT though, he's simply the best player in the world and has the highest peak that a player ever had. Stop with the GOAT narrative, it is boring. s1mple has trouble winning a major because of Astralis just like Device can't be the best player in the world because of s1mple. Everything comes with a price.

I'm talking about today. He's not as good as he used to be as a rifler. He truly became a dedicated awper which means today he can only pull 1 vs 4 with an AK against teams lower than top 5. Magisk or Dupreeh are better riflers than Device now which wasn't the case before. I believe it's only natural though, for me s1mple is still an amazing rifler because he's probably one of the smartest player out there but Electronic is probably a better rifler than he is. Device on a rifle against Liquid wouldn't be as good as he is with an awp for example. I was talking about "nowadays", not in the past. Sorry if i couldn't explain myself well.

2019-04-09 01:51

2 replies

All good dont worry Basically he shifted from being a hybrid player (back when cajunb was still main awping) to full-time main AWPer, playing the position the team needs Also, I think the rifle playing field in CSGO overall has risen and leveled out; pros nowadays are way better than in the past on AK/M4 and now AUG. So there should be way more emphasis on other roles/team elements such as IGL (tactics/strats), AWP, pistoling along with eco rounds, coaching, etc.

2019-04-09 01:58

1 reply

Yup, the competition has never been higher. Even if I say he's as good as he used to be, it's probably because most players were maybe not as good and Device was always a very good rifler, so even now it's not detrimental.

2019-04-12 07:47

+1 Have the same thoughts. S1mple>Dev1ce, but Astralis>Navi because csgo is a command game.

1 reply

No need to bring down a player to show how great another is. People know s1mple is the best player in the world, no one compares him to anybody else because it's irrelevant. I love Dev1ce as well but since 2018 is top of the world no doubt.

2019-04-12 07:48

Agreed:) Astralis is very confident as a team & xyp9x, g1ave and Magisk (experience helped to get MVP & make position in top 5) are makes them ez winner. But, Kennys is best awper in world & simple is also better. Kennys is unable to carry G2.
