One door closes, another one opens.
My days as a pro player is over, I will retire from pro play and focus on something that I've been interested in since day 1 my Overwatch career, coaching. Being a pro player has been so good to me and looking back at it all I'm very proud of what I've managed to do. A small kid from a small town in Sweden no one has heard of, traveling the world to play in front of fans that love the game as much as I do.
Being home in Sweden for to 2 months now has given me a lot of time to think this through. Giving up playing is rough but this is the 2nd best thing to me. I've worked as a teacher which I loved, and there are plenty of parallels between coaching and teaching.
Being a former pro player gives me a lot of insight that other coaches may not have. Helping other aspiring players to play to the best of their ability and having answers to questions they may have.
I'd like to give a huge thanks to all the beautiful people that have supported me during my pro play and continue to do so. All the fans. organizations, staff and most importantly, my former teammates.
If you'd like to reach out to me and ask any questions, ask about my coaching philosophy or anything else:
