My Gaming Journey

WHERE IT STARTED

Gaming has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father introduced me to Counter-Strike when I was six or seven years old. Yes, 6 / 7 :)

I instantly fell in love with the game. I enjoyed the competition, the teamwork and the feeling that there was always something new to learn.

Growing up, I also spent a lot of time playing Fortnite, Minecraft and many other games. I enjoyed exploring different worlds, meeting players and discovering new ways to compete, but Counter-Strike was the game that stayed with me.

REDISCOVERING COUNTER-STRIKE

At 13, I rediscovered Counter-Strike and started taking the game much more seriously. That was when I decided I wanted to become a professional player.

Watching professional players on YouTube gave me motivation and showed me what was possible. I began practising every day, learning from my mistakes and developing my own style as an AWPer.

FROM STREAMING TO COMPETING

I also started streaming on Twitch at 13. I did not have a big plan when I began. I simply wanted to share my games and see what would happen.

Streaming gave me the opportunity to meet people from around the world, build a community and share every stage of my progress.

By 14, I was playing alongside experienced names such as kennyS. Every match taught me something new about the game and what it takes to compete at a higher level.

GOING PRO

My competitive journey took me through Quixal, MOUZ NXT, Copenhagen Wolves and FOKUS. Each team gave me new experience, new challenges and the opportunity to develop as both a player and a teammate.

Joining MOUZ NXT was the first major step in my professional career. It showed me how much work, discipline and consistency are required to compete in a professional environment.

My time with Copenhagen Wolves and FOKUS helped me gain more experience and confidence as an AWPer. Every match and tournament prepared me for the next opportunity.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

In July 2026, I joined Team Liquid as their Counter-Strike 2 AWPer.

Representing an organisation with such a rich history is the biggest opportunity of my career so far. My focus is to keep improving, help the team succeed and prove myself at the highest level.

This is the beginning of a new chapter, and I am ready to give everything I have to make it count.

LIFE OUTSIDE THE GAME

Life is not only about practice and competition. I start every morning by taking my dog Rico for a walk. It helps me clear my head and get ready for the day.

I also train at the gym four times a week. Staying active helps me remain disciplined, focused and healthy.

When I have free time, I enjoy trying different games, going out with friends, watching films at the cinema and spending time away from the screen.

Finding the right balance between competition, training and my personal life helps me return to practice with more energy and focus.
