Ninjas in Pyjamas is actively trying to sell its currently inactive CS:GO<\/em> star Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz and has already begun talking to dev1ce’s former organization Astralis, according to a report<\/a> by Jaxon. <\/p>
Jaxon reports that Astralis has “apparently” bid for dev1ce, but NiP has not accepted the offer yet. Dev1ce is still locked into an over 2.5-year contract with the Swedish organization, according to Jaxon. NiP is not settling to receive much less than what it paid for dev1ce back in 2021, a transfer that reportedly cost around $1 million<\/a>. <\/p>
It was reported<\/a> in August that dev1ce was exploring options outside of NiP to make his return and had preliminary talks with several teams. A return to NiP’s active roster is looking unlikely at this point, despite NiP currently missing a primary sniper. The organization removed the rifler Nicolas “Plopski” Zamora last week and brought former G2 captain Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen<\/a> in to take over the reins of the squad ahead of the IEM Rio Major Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) event in October.<\/p>
