This is part two of three about Anders's career. Anders capitalised on the early days of CS:GO to establish himself as "The Voice of Counter-Strike" along with commentary partner Semmler, best known for Bloodline Champions and work with the GD Studio. Barring an early industry tussle over EMS One Katowice 2014, the Dane was a main stay of majors and practically any meaningful CS event talent group. Famed for being the narrator of some of CS's most hype moments ever it would be his "Are you kidding me?" call of Hiko vs. Dignitas at ESL One Cologne 2014 which quickly caught on and would even haunt Anders with some suggesting he overused the line later. A bold decision to go with the freshly launched ELEAGUE on Turner's TBS, the US's number one basic cable channel at the time, showed he was willing to push the boundaries of the industry, while it did ruffle some feathers elsewhere. Similarly, he would later be involved with my FLASHPOINT project and Denmark's own BLAST. Through the years Anders has seen his duo with Semmler come to an end, partnered with Moses as the American transtioned fully from being a desk analyst and in more recent years has worked more closely with the likes of HenryG, dinko and now ddk. Nobody in CS:GO or CS2 history has worked more significant events than Anders and he remains a fan favourite to this day. In part two, Anders talks about the Room on Fire project, the potential of working in other games over his career, the impact of Semmler on his career, gambling on ELEAGUE and becoming overtaken by Sadokist and HenryG. This interview was recorded on the 28th of June, 2025. ► Time-line of topics discussed: 00:00 FNATIC 2015 03:47 Room on Fire 11:06 Why the aversion to using leverage? 14:35 Working in other games? 18:53 Role of Semmler 23:11 Gambling on ELEAGUE 27:53 Astralis winning ELEAGUE Atlanta 31:51 Potential for voice being in the game? 35:33 Sadokist and HenryG rivalry Subscribe this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfeeUuW7edMxF3M_cyxGT8Q/join ► Check out bite-sized Thorin on my new clips channel: https://www.youtube.com/thorinclips ► Follow me on social media: https://twitter.com/Thorin https://facebook.com/Thooorin https://www.instagram.com/thooorinofficial/ ► My written content: https://iamesports.substack.com/ ► My stream: https://www.twitch.tv/Thorin ► You can discuss this content at my Discord server: https://discord.gg/rDKxKfM ► Want esports predictions?
