The Swedish Counter-Strike legend Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg has turned 34 this year and is currently without a team. But does f0rest still have what it takes to compete on the biggest stage of CS:GO?
If you ask the CS:GO expert and analyst, Jacob “Pimp” Winneche the answer is crystal clear.
– I still think f0rest has the level and I still think that he could fit into a modern day’s CS:GO team, even with the meta that’s being played right now, Pimp said in a video on his YouTube and continued:
– His mentality is worth a ton which would be worth goals for a lot of teams out there – a very chilled guy that you can rely on. I don’t expect f0rest to come back to a team and be the star player. He could come back and be a role player and be a guy you can lean towards if you’re a young guy.
“He could play for G2”
Pimp mentioned G2 as an example where he could see f0rest fit in and play for.
-Imagine if you’re m0NESY in G2 and you’re on track to become one of the greatest players in CS:GO – imagine if you have f0rest next to you – imagine if he was the guy they brought in instead of jks. I think that would have worked out well for G2 as well.
f0rest: My motivation comes from me loving the game so God damn much
f0rest compares himself with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo
And if you ask f0rest himself, he’s also very confident about his own abilities and that he’s still able to compete against the best. Something he expressed in an interview with Duncan “Thorin” Shields last month.
– Put me in FaZe and I’m certain I would perform at a level that shock people. I’m not done [playing tier-1 CS:GO]. At the same time, I understand if people have their doubts because I am 34, I have to kids and a totally different scenario – but I’m still ready. I don’t think that people have explored what is possible within Counter-Strike, this is just the beginning. If you have Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] and [Cristiano] Ronaldo running around at 36-37, there is no stopping me neither.
– Hopefully, I am given the opportunity for one last ride. Because I’m not satisfied with how it ended with Dignitas or NIP. (…) If anyone out there wants to give this boy a chance, then I can prove everybody wrong. Don’t hesitate to reach out, f0rest said in an episode of “Reflections” with Thorin.
