Astralis' Dev1ce admits he still "throws up" after finishing every CS:GO tournament

Astralis AWPer Nicolai 'Dev1ce' Reedtz has admitted in an interview that he still suffers from stress-related symptoms after CS:GO events, including vomiting for "a day and a half" after competing.

Dev1ce reveals to Danish sports broadcaster TV 2 Sport that the effects of his stress-induced Irritable Bowel Syndrome - which he first opened up about in 2018 after missing the final months of competing in 2017 - still plague him after finishing "every single tournament" he plays in. While the Astralis star admits it is something he has now learnt to live with, he says it can cause him to throw up for up to 36 hours after competing as his adrenaline levels fall.

Despite telling HLTV earlier this year that he was feeling positive about Astralis choosing to decline tournament invitations and make the team's schedule less packed, it seems that the pressure, excitement, and nerves of competing are still affecting Dev1ce in a negative way. Astralis has been put under the microscope in recent weeks after both Andreas 'Xyp9x' Højsleth and Lukas 'Gla1ve' Rossander took leave from the starting roster due to stress and burnout.
