This is episode two of two about ScreaM's career. Not to be confused with the Belgian Source player, ScreaM was one of the earliest top Swedish CS players. Playing for Clan matrix in 2001 he was already contending with the other top teams and would catch the eye of HeatoN and Potti's NiP and join the world champions in early 2002. That project proved ill-fated due to lack of sponsors and broke apart. ScreaM opted to stand-in for vesslan's esports united at the CPL Summer 2002 event and the team were a contender but ended up forced to settle for third place. After this he teamed up with, former- team-mate from his amateur days, ahl and future SK player fisker in mTw.se. They finished second at the WCG Swedish qualifier and CPL Oslo. They would pick up former matrix team-mate SpawN to become team9 for CPL Winter 2002 and finish fourth there. Already ScreaM was thinking of retiring, due to real life reasons, and began to phase out his competitive play. One of the best AKs in the world would turn up for matrix at the Swedish Esport League (SEL) but his appearances in latter years were not the real ScreaM. He attended CPL Copenhagen 2003 with Ownage, but without fanfare. Two plus years later he made some more appearances, playing for MYM.se at the KODE5 Swedish qualifier and Dreamhack Summer 2006. ScreaM stands as one of the great "what if?" players in CS history. He would became a top player in World of WarCraft. In part two, ScreaM explains why he never properly came back to CS, the importance of the sound tech, his interest in World of WarCraft, LAN cafe culture in Sweden and how much CS he watches now.
