Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund is among the most iconic names in the world of CS:GO. Born on May 29, 1990, the Swedish CS:GO rifler is best known for his feats with Ninjas in Pyjamas.
He is one the best players in Counter-Strike history, ranked #2 in 2010 and 2011 in CS 1.6 and #1 in 2013 and 2014 in CS:GO. However, as of today, GeT_RiGhT’s run with Ninjas in Pyjamas has finally come to an end.
Once a giant in CS:GO
This marks the departure of one of the most iconic figures in CS:GO. GeT_RiGhT has served NiP for 7 straight years through ups and downs, in victories and in failure. However, all good thing comes to an end, and it is time GeT_RiGhT said goodbye to his organization.
Together with his teammates, GeT_RiGhT led NiP to numerous victories in the early stage of CS:GO. They were arguably the best during the year of 2013 and 2014. NiP went on an unimaginable 87-map win streak in which they did not drop a single map. They were virtually unstoppable like Astralis during their prime.
GeT_RiGhT was most famous for his role as a lurker who often saved the day with his rifle. He was nominated the #2 best player in 2010 and 2011 in CS1.6.
GeT_RiGhT also had a good time in CS 1.6
During his time with CS:GO, the Swedish player also attained 2 #1 titles of the year in 2013 and 2014. Under the jersey of NiP, GeT_RiGhT won ESL One: Cologne 2014 alongside his compatriots like Richard “Xizt” Landström and Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg. His contribution for NiP can be compared to that of Danylo “Zeus” Teslenko to Natus Vincere.
However, time has changed, and NiP has been struggling to find decent success recently. GeT_RiGhT and NiP have decided this was all for the best. GeT_RiGhT will be stepping down from the starting lineup of NiP in the next event - Dreamhack Masters Malmo. His future career plan remains unclear.
