dev1ce: four Majors and the most decorated career in Counter-Strike
No player has won more Majors than dev1ce, and no player has been at the top for as long without changing role. He has been a sniper since 2013 and has appeared in the closing stages of Majors in three different decades of the game's rule sets.
His career is also a masterclass in organisational continuity: the same Danish core followed him from Dignitas to Team SoloMid to Astralis.

The same five, three logos
The Danish core of dev1ce, dupreeh and Xyp9x played under Dignitas and Team SoloMid before founding Astralis in 2016. That is the single most useful fact for dating an early Danish line-up: if you see those names with a non-Astralis logo, you are looking at 2014 or 2015.
The break and the return
He left for Ninjas in Pyjamas in 2021, stepped away from competition for health reasons, and returned to Astralis in 2022 for another three years before moving to 100 Thieves. The Ninjas in Pyjamas spell is short enough that it functions as a trick clue in Who Am I? rounds — a Swedish organisation in the middle of an otherwise entirely Danish career.
