[@fredrichellborg7172]

I remember I was at Dreamhack one year with some friends. And my little brother, who at the time was only 6 or 7 years old wanted to come and visit to see what all the fuss was about. He came over while we were watching a game of CS. A game he hadn't been allowed to play yet, but he had seen me play it once or twice. I still remember the first time he saw the crowd roaring and chanting "N I P, N I P", as the players were about to come on stage for the first time to be introduced. His eyes lit up as if he had seen... well just that for the first time xD As we were sitting there and waiting for the show to start, I saw at the entrance to the stage that the players were starting to roll into the backstage area. So I quickly grabbed my little brother and we ran over there to try and get my mouse pad signed and maybe get a picture for little brother, since I noticed he really took a liking to the whole eSports thing. We yelled at f0rest and the rest of the team (I believe it was the full OG setup except fifflaren who had been "replaced" by Maikelele or Allu) But noone answered and they all rushed backstage, I saw how beaten down my lil bro got and he went back to our seats. I however stayed and try to get signatures from other players like the bandwagon fan I was. Fast forward maybe 2-3 minutes and I see f0rest coming running out from backstage and running up to me even. Imagine that feeling as a 16 year old or so, having probably the best player in the world at that moment (and GOAT) run up to YOU?!? I was completely shocked when he started speaking to me and asked where my little brother was. At this point I was screaming at the top of my lungs for my brother. He then told my brother that he felt so bad for just walking past and then he asked if my little brother had a shirt, to which we replied no. So the man takes off his current team jersey and gives it to my little brother. This is why you can see him play in a white jersey at one of the dreamhacks xD I know this gesture seems small, but to my little brother this meant the world. Straight after DH he wouldn't shut up about wanting his own PC and playing just like f0rest. He has now become a PC gamer just like his older brother, or in his eyes, just like f0rest. He is now 12 years old, but he's already crazy good for his age. It truly started a big bond between me and him in CS and NIP. We've been watching oh so many majors since together and he always sits in his f0rest shirt, and this story ALWAYS comes up lol. Seeing this tribute video almost made me tear up.. Thank you f0rest for all the great years of CS in NiP, thank you for all of the butt clenching I got from betting on your games, thank you for the shirt, but most of all, thank you for all the memories.

@@lexaandclarke3696 :) CS Pros, especially f0rest, are a lot nicer then you would think. I was an ambassador for my school at dreamhack one year. So I had access to all lounges etc, including the after party. Most esport pros were super humble and really nice people. Then there were of course the usual douchebags but that's just life. :/ This was of course way before esports was this blown up as it is now. I haven't been "in" (I was never in, I merely got a view) the scene for years so I don't know if that retains

When i started playing CS f0rest was my idol. When I wanted to get good at the game, I watched his vods. He was the player and the team I cheered for every tournament. I based my entire CS lifetime on him, I would always be thinking about what he would do in the situations I was in. I even learned swedish just to understand him and the NiP crew! He will always be the number one in my eyes, and I wish him the best in wherever life takes him next :)

[@ElConrad0]

Agree with previous comments - it's been the GREATEST pleasure to see his solid contribution for NIP over all these years. Sooo many times has he had us shouting out loud whenever he's made one of his insanely smooth clutches ! :D Truly sad to see Mr Lindberg "Forest" go as the last of the original 5, though one has the highest hope for the new roster, in at least one way F0rest's exit marks the end of an incredible era for the NIP-team. Having followed the team since the 1.6-days - as many other fans here with me I'm sure - I wish to express my deepest and most sincere "Thank You(!!) F0rest" for all the excitement, for all the laughs throughout the years and, perhaps more than anything, for bringing passion as well as real skill into ESports. You've inspired a generation for the last 10-15 years or so, and your contributions will be sorely missed and never forgotten

[@devan271]

NIP was my first introduction to CS:GO competitve, it was the infamous match vs Fnatic on old inferno at Dreamhack. I remember staying up late to watch that game and then waking up the whole house from just the sheer tension and anxiety. Been a fan of CS:GO and NIP ever since. Forest and the rest of the NIP gang from that era always seemed like some of the nicest and most down to earth people in the scene. CS:GO is truly better as a scene due to everything they've done.

[@An00bisY00tubis]

The amount of time f0rest has invested in this game, you have to wonder what his next venture will be outside of the gaming world. I also feel like this move to Dignitas could spark a resurgence, no doubt f0rest would have become a bit complacent in NiP, and you have to wonder after all these years what sort of peak he can even reach again. Here’s hoping him and the other ex-ninjas can have one last magical run and win something big before they go out!
