Nicolai Reedtz

Nicolai Hvilshøj Reedtz (born 8 September 1995), better known as dev1ce (pronounced and sometimes spelled as device, formerly devve), is a Danish professional Counter-Strike 2 player for 100 Thieves. On his first stint in Astralis, he became the first (along with three of his then-teammates) to win 4 majors in CS:GO, and to win 3 majors consecutively. He is regarded as one of the best players of all time, consistently playing at a very high individual level since 2014.

== Early life == Dev1ce was born on 8 September 1995 in Vejle, Region of Southern Denmark. He began playing video games when he was a teen with his brother as his talent was immediately noticeable. He was also an exceptional badminton player. In fact, at age 14, approximately two years after the creation of his Steam account, the big clubs in Denmark wanted him to play for them. He turned their offers down, citing a knee injury and a higher level of passion for video games. He began his esports career in Counter-Strike: Source, playing for Copenhagen Wolves.
