4 statistics about the last Danish superstar that may surprise you.
Fnatic bowed out of PGL Bucharest in 12-14th place after being defeated by GamerLegion. Despite this, blameF dropped a 1.42 rating across the tournament with 0.89 kills per round, above the entire field.
Why can this obvious talent never seem to get his flowers? Let’s explore what he has achieved in his five years at the top.
4x HLTV top 20 (most of any Danish player since 2019)
His highest placement came in 2020, when blameF held the in-game leader mantle for the Complexity “Juggernaut” assembled by Jason Lake. This was when all CS matches took place online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The next three years showed he was no “onliner”, placing 16th or higher three times in a row.
In 2022, he was above names like frozen, rain and Spinx in HLTV’s eyes. In 2023, he outdid KSCERATO and Twistzz. This is despite being on a struggling Astralis squad that took home no titles.
Has only a fifth of dupreeh’s prize money earned
Dupreeh is known for being the highest-earning player of all time on top of his skill and accolades. Despite blameF’s consistency, it has not translated into titles, only garnering a measly fifth of what his predecessor on Astralis did.
To this day, blameF has only won a single tournament, that being an online one with Complexity. A mere shadow of Astralis’s 4 major trophies and Intel Grand Slam.
Since joining HEROIC in 2017, has been the highest-rated player of every team he’s been on
BlameF’s individual superiority includes stints playing alongside players like device, stavn, k0nfig and jks.
He has received criticism for his passive play, leading people to believe he is a “baiter”. That cannot be said today, as he opens the round 20% of the time for his team, fnatic.
The bottom line: has only competed at two Majors
Despite being one of CS’s best riflers for 5 years, blameF has only competed at two of eight possible majors.
Astralis’s incapability of qualifying due to unforeseen circumstances or just pressure severely impacted blameF’s resume.
One of the majors he competed at was PGL Major Antwerp, where the Dane dropped a 1.42 rating in the Challengers Stage, but Astralis bowed out 1-3.
