“There have been ups and downs in my career, but looking back, it was an amazing and unforgettable journey. I want to thank all my teammates and fans over the years before hinting at my plans for the future:“ I am not leaving yet. from CS! "", wrote Xizt.

Xizt's career took off in the early 2010s, when he entered the TOP 20 players in 2010 and 2011. Next, the Swede moved to CS: GO, where, together with NIP, he began a new era of dominance in the professional scene, along the way becoming the sixth best player in 2013. For six years as a member of the Xizt team, he won ESL One: Cologne 2014, DreamHack Masters Malmö 2016, Intel Extreme Masters XI - Oakland, Intel Extreme Masters XII - Oakland and Intel Extreme Masters XIII - Sydney, and also took second place at DreamHack Winter 2013. ESL Major Series One Katowice 2014, DreamHack Winter 2014 and ESL One: Katowice 2015.

However, the last years of the career of the legendary Swede were overshadowed by the eternal rushes from one team to another. Over the past three years, Xizt managed to play for fnatic, NIP, FaZe Clan and Dignitas, the last 10 months being completely inactive.

Now the 30-year-old Swede will try himself in a new role, exploring options for working as a coach, analyst, or team manager.
