Every discipline in gaming has its stars. And every discipline has also its legends. Emil 'HeatoN' Christensen is one of these legends for Counter-Strike. The first sign for the talent this boy has is the clan he first joined, it was none other than the notorious Ninjas in Pyjamas. Of course you'd expect that this put a lot of pressure on young Emil. But he didn't come into that team for no reason.
Today, his aim is almost proverbial and it led him with his next teams SoA and SK from success to success. From a dozen CPL events he attended with his various teams he did only win two not! It goes without saying that to that list an almost countless list of other successes adds to his record. Among these are also such legendary in-game actions such as him taking out the whole enemy team being the last survivor of his team in an eco round. It was, however, not only his insane reflexes and precision, it was also his technique that made him famous. Besides being able to pull almost impossible headshots, he took the spraying technique to another level.
Truly an icon of the Counter-Strike scene!

Counter-Strike is approaching its fifth anniversary. During this time the game has seen many players. But only a few have been around almost all the time. One of them is Tommy 'Potti' Ingemarsson. Through his impressive skill and the unusual ability to downright out-think his opponents he's secured himself a place in the sun.
Let's take a look at his career. His first clans where Allstars and 9. Then, back in 2000 he gathered the most talented players in Sweden and united them under the notorious 'Ninjas in Pyjamas' tag. With this team he should win, among others, five CPL events, including that legendary clash of the continents when his team defeated America's X3 in the final. When NiP more or less disbanded, SK signed him up. Under his direction SK became arguably the strongest team in the world. It's otiose to recount his successes.
Potti is not only the archetype of a Counter-Strike player but more general the prototype of a professional gamer. He's been around since the first days of the game and he's always been on top, he's not only steady in what he does, he's also successful in it. Therefore he is not only admired by Counter-Strikers but also by gamers of other disciplines.
