This episode is part two of two about flusha's career. flusha is one of Counter-Strike's most decorated players. Breaking out in Epsilon in mid 2013, flusha would go on with the same core to join FNATIC and win Dreamhack Winter 2013, the game's first official major. FNATIC dipped in form after that but a move to bring in olof and KRiMZ from LGB saw the formation of one of CS:GO's best ever squads. FNATIC were winning events and making deep runs almost immediately and despite the setback of the olofboost drama at Dreamhack Winter 2014, by 2015 few could deny FNATIC were the best team in the game. They would win back-to-back majors, with flusha taking home HLTV's MVP award for ESL One Cologne 2015. Even when pronax left and flusha took over as in-game leader the winning didn't stop, as FNATIC won their first six events in a row before infamously being eliminated from the MLG Columbus major by Astralis. The following years were lighter on trophies but in 2018 flusha and FNATIC bounced back and won IEM Katowice and WESG in the space of a few weeks, netting more than $1,000,000 in prize money. That proved a blip on the radar and as FNATIC's form dropped flusha exited the team to join an international Cloud9 line-up. Sadly that move proved beset by all kinds of issues and flusha would come back the following year and eventually rejoin FNATIC. That last FNATIC LAN run is the stuff of legend, as the team won Dreamhack Masters Malmo and then placed at least top four at the next four LANs before the world went to online play only. During the online era flusha went on and made what became the GORILLAZ project but by the times LANs had returned and the line-up was ready flusha was no longer a part of it. In recent years flusha and former team-mate JW took over the dormant EYEBALLERS brand and began a project aiming to bring Swedish CS back to the top again. flusha has since retired and now coaches the project he partially owns. In part two, flusha talks about his unique skillset, whether he could have stayed in Cloud9, FNATIC's LAN run when he returned, playing with Brollan, the online era and the EYEBALLERS project of today.
