Olofmeister has always been a likeable figure and a strong team player, but something he took to a whole new level at one specific match in 2014.
In the semifinal at the ESL One Major in 2014, Fnatic and Olofmeister were up against a strong Danish side. Dignitas had dominated the map and at one point they were up by 8 rounds, but Fnatic had managed to equal the score at 14-14.
It’s the 29th round, and Dignitas decides to execute on the B bombsite, unfortunately for them with a heavy stacked Fnatic side around them. Dignitas manages to plant the bomb, but Fnatic is quick to retake the site. Olofmeister gets a quick kill and jumps onto the site and starts defusing the bomb. Dev1ce throws a molotov on the bomb to avoid the defuse, and the fire starts to burn Olofmeister’s body, and it’s here that the majority of players will have stopped the defuse and jumped off, but Olofmeister is not just your ordinary player. With a minimal amount of health, and with his teammates looking stunned at him, he decides to sticks the defuse and with milliseconds left to live for the bomb was neutralized.
A brave act which saved his team and later on won them the game, but resulted in his own death. He sacrificed himself for the greater good. Something Valve decided to immortalize by adding a permanent graffiti on the wall near the B bombsite on Overpass, portraying a bewinged CT player with flames burning his body.
