This is episode one of two about fisker's career. fisker came up as part of the 2easy crew who, along with more famous team-mate ahl, went on to become mTw.se/team9 and finished 2nd at LAN Arena 7, 2nd at CPL Oslo 2002 and then, with SpawN, placed fourth at CPL Winter 2002. That earned fisker a spot in SK Gaming with HeatoN and Potti for 2003. They won CPL Cannes immediately, but struggled to 3rd at Clikarena and 3rd at ESWC. With elemeNt brought in and implemented as IGL the team went on an unbeaten run for almost the rest of the year. They won CPL Summer 2003, WCG 2003, CPL Copenhagen 2003, CPL Winter 2003 and domestic Swedish League tournaments. elemeNt's departure the following year saw the team again struggle at ESWC and finish 2nd at CPL Summer 2004. Picking up Hyper from the EYE team that had beaten them at the CPL allowed them to win Nolellva and reassert themselves as a top team. Disputes with the org meant they didn't attend the Winter CPL that year. For 2005 the players moved to a newly resurrected NiP to make a super-team which fisker was benched for. The team failed and fisker and some of the other players went back to SK. There they would win back-to-back CPLs in the USA, though the summer one had limited competition due to clashing with ESWC. In 2006 the team's result went downhill and fisker's time at the top had largely come and gone. A last hurrah came in 2007 winning the Samsung European Championship as underdogs over NEO and TaZ's Pentagram squad. fisker retired from professional play later in the year. In part one, fisker lays out his entry into top level CS, playing with his friends in 2easy and contending for CPLs, joining up with the mighty HeatoN and Potti and winning nonstop in late 2003. This interview was recorded on the 21st of September, 2024. ► Time-line of topics discussed: 00:00 Earliest days 01:51 2easy with ahl 06:14 log1c 07:23 filur 08:25 LAN Arena 7 10:30 Looking for org 12:13 WCG Swedish 2002 Qualifier 14:54 CPL Oslo 2002 16:34 CPL Winter 2002 18:18 LAN pressure 19:07 ScreaM 20:06 Did he grind? 21:15 Joining SK Gaming for 2003 22:48 Playing with HeatoN and Potti 25:48 CPL Cannes 2003 and vesslan story 28:14 Winning CPL Europe 29:22 Losing at Clikarena and ESWC 32:17 elemeNt 33:41 Who has he as a player? 35:08 CPL Summer 2003 36:26 Why SK were so good 38:24 SpawN 39:03 Dominant period for SK in latter half of 2003 40:41 elemeNt leaving 45:45 CPL Summer 2004 46:50 CPL Winter 2004 issue with SK 48:56 NiP super-team and not being a starter 50:53 Hyper 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 ► This video was kindly supported by: Ahmed Hadjou Matt, Pugnatio, Rajcula Adam Tomlin Animosity Jensen Goh Tosh touken_ Special thanks go out to JerCkysMiNi0n. #fisker #HeatoN #Thorin
