. Alesund is widely considered to be one of the greatest ''Counter-Strike'' players of all time in both versions of the game. While never considered the best at aiming in the series, he is well known for his highly consistent play, success in clutch and high-pressure situations, and for popularizing the "lurker" role among teams. HLTV.org rated him as the best player in both 2013 and 2014 in their end-of-year rankings due to his high level of play in tournament finals and other important games. In 2019, Alesund was reportedly set to be replaced after the StarLadder Major: Berlin 2019. Alesund officially stepped down from the roster late September. On January 21, 2020, Alesund reunited with his former NiP teammates (f0rest, Xizt, Friberg and Fifflaren) in Dignitas. After a series of lackluster performances, Alesund was benched by Dignitas the following September, with the organization promising to assist with transitioning to the next phase of his career. In January 2021, Alesund announced that he was stepping away from professional competition and would become a content creator for Dignitas.
