In second place, in turn, is Nicolai 'dev1ce' Reedtz, who has been playing for Astralis for a long time.
S1mple shared his thoughts and emotions on Instagram, where he wrote the following:
“I know that every professional player sets certain goals that he wants to achieve. For some they are too ambitious, for others they are not very ambitious. I wanted and still want to win a major, I want to make my team the best in the world, and I do not hide that I was striving for first place in the HLTV.org rating. I will remember this day forever.
Thanks to everyone that believed in me, I saw comments and people who congratulated me in advance. I was very lucky and very happy to share these emotions with the best fans in the world. I am also very proud of the Electronics, because it has grown significantly over the past year and has definitely earned a place in this rating. I am pretty sure that this year he will climb even higher.
I know that it is important not only to take first place, but also to develop success in order to maintain it. I need to break my own records. I am sure that all this is possible with NaVi, I promise to train even more and try my best. I'm full of motivation! Your Sasha. "
