Please tell us about the equipment you use, including discussing the types of component and a short statement on why you use them.
When I play I use the Logitech MX500, QPAD low sense mouse mat and Creative HS-600.
As I have had the mouse and mouse mat for a while now, I have grown very accustomed to them, knowing exactly how much pressure to apply for each action in game. Any changes in gear would have a major impact on my effectiveness in matches and it would take along time to adjust.
How do you think the equipment you use helps you play better?
The gaming equipment I have now ensures an easy setup at LAN, often even small changes to your environment can affect your performance. It is very nice to be able to avoid any mouse, mouse mat and headset changes.
How did you hear about Team Dignitas?
As an active Battlefield 1942 player back in the day it was quite hard to not hear about Team-Dignitas as no one was even close skill-wise.
How'd you join Team Dignitas?
Back in Battlefield 1942 when I was playing in a fun clan called Swedish Jaeger Troops, Team Dignitas needed another tank driver for the team, after a month of trial I joined and ever since then I have stayed in Team Dignitas playing mostly Battlefield and now World in Conflict.
How long had you been playing before you thought about becoming a pro?
I probably played computer games for about 4-5 years before even hearing about players who compete in computer games.
Was it an easy decision to become a pro gamer?
Choosing between playing games for fun and playing games for fun and earning a bit extra on the side, how can it not be easy?
What are your favourite games?
The only game I truly enjoy right now is World in Conflict, however the games I remember the most when looking back is probably the C&C and Battlefield series.
What's your biggest success in pro gaming?
Winning CPL WiC WT Sweden and Italy.
Who's your toughest opponent?
Right now I would say it is ToT as they are the only ones we have met in a WiC final.
What's your favourite gadget?
My new Creative Zen W.
