[edit | edit source]After playing with several teams from 2010 to 2012, Friberg signed with Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP). During his time with the team, he helped them go on a record 87-map win streak on LAN,[2] and took home the Major trophy from ESL One Cologne 2014.[3] On July 31, 2017, Friberg parted ways with the team.[4]
In August 2017, Friberg signed with OpTic Gaming.[4]
Friberg signed with team Heroic in May 2018.[5] In his 18 months with the team, he won several tournaments, including the GG.Bet Sydney Invitational in March and TOYOTA Master CS:GO Bangkok in November 2018. In August 2019, he was released from the team.[6]
In January 2020, Friberg, along with Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, Richard "Xizt" Landström, Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, was signed by Dignitas, reuniting with former NiP teammates, until the team was disbanded in 2022.[7][8]
Merchandise
