Career

Counter-Strike

Engelhardt started his career in 1999 with the game Counter-Strike . Gathered first LAN experience with some small clans and celebrated small successes, for example a 7th place at the LAN party N-Frag . Burnie was able to improve his playful class quickly and so the renowned German clan Germany's sick horde (DkH) became aware of him. The first small contacts with DkH already existed at the N-Frag. With DkH he won the ClanBase EuroCup IV .

He later switched to the German clan Schroet Kommando (later SK Gaming ). He and his team made it into the top 8 of the Lanarena , now known as ESWC , and took third place in the WCG qualification.

Change from CS to UT

After he celebrated further successes with SK (including participation in the CPL ), Burnie decided to quit Counter-Strike and instead play Unreal Tournament 2003 . The reason for the change he cited the inability to improve once you have reached a high level of play, and what, in his eyes, is the gameplay of Counter-Strike, which is based on luck.

Together with some friends he founded the Clan serious Intention and almost immediately he achieved his first successes. Among other things, he won the Slaughterhouse LAN , the PG Challenge in Prague and he and his team qualified for the UT 2003 ESL Pro Series , which was discontinued due to the indexing of the game.

Unreal Tournament 2004

With the appearance of the successor to UT 2003, Unreal Tournament 2004 , Burnie now mainly concentrated on the discipline 1on1 and experienced his most successful time as a player.

Among other things, he won the GIGA League Grandslam III , the ESWC 2004, where he defeated the UT superstar GitzZz in a grandiose final , the German WCG qualification; He achieved second places at the EOGC in London and at the World Cyber ​​Games 2004 in San Francisco . In September 2004, shortly after he won the ESWC, the German professional Clan Mousesports signed him. He was also voted Newcomer of the Year 2004 by Turtled.com and the GGL named him Unreal Leap of 2004 .

Painkiller

After the CPL announced that they would play Painkiller instead of UT in 2004 on their $ 1,000,000 World Tour 2005, which was very much endowed with $ 1,000,000 , Burnie changed the game again. However, there were no notable successes and Burnie ended his career.
