olofmeister

Lore & Background

Gustafsson grew up in Tyresö. He has a brother, Karl, and a sister, Hanna. He developed an interest in playing football at the young age of four and remained active in the sport until he sustained a knee injury at the age of fifteen. He is a fan of Arsenal. The injury eventually became a catalyst for his transition from playing Counter-Strike casually, into taking it more seriously. He began his Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career in Absolute Legends and H2k. He rose to prominence after joining LGB eSports in June 2013. In June 2014, he left LGB and joined Fnatic, where he found immediate success, including a second-place finish at ESL One Cologne 2014. At DreamHack Winter 2014, he became the center of controversy when he was boosted into an illegal position, leading to Fnatic forfeiting the match. In 2015, Fnatic won ESL One Katowice 2015 and ESL One Cologne 2015, making them the first team to win two consecutive Major Championships. Gustafsson was widely regarded as the best Counter-Strike player of 2015. In 2016, he took a break due to a repetitive strain injury. On 20 August 2017, he signed with FaZe Clan. He has since taken breaks for personal reasons and fatigue, but returned as a stand-in and later as a permanent member.
