Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg (born June 10, 1988 ) is a Swedish e-athlete who has been playing games for the Swedish e-sports team Ninjas in pajamas since 2012 . He is one of the most successful Counter-Strike players of all time.

Professional career

Lindberg made his first appearance in 2005, when he and the team Begrip Gaming the World e-Sports Games won. His talent was quickly discovered by larger organizations, so he was able to switch to fnatic in early 2006 . The first of five years was the most successful under fnatic. For example, he and his team were able to achieve victories in the Cyberathlete Professional League in Singapore and Dallas . Furthermore, Lindberg came second in the Electronic Sports World Cup in 2006 and in DreamHack in 2006. With the Swedish national selection, "f0rest" won the 2006 European Nations Champions Finals.

In 2007 Lindberg celebrated successes with fnatic at the World e-Sports Games and Extreme Masters in Los Angeles . After many more victories, for example at the Intel Extreme Masters or the World e-Sports Games, Lindberg left fnatic in 2010 and switched to competitor SK Gaming . Under SK, Lindberg's greatest successes were winning the GameGune 2011 and the Electronic Sports World Cup 2011.

With the switch to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive , Lindberg left SK Gaming and signed with the extremely successful team Ninjas in Pajamas . Since then, Lindberg has achieved numerous other successes with NiP. In 2013 alone there were twenty triumphs at various events. "F0rest" won the most important victories in 2013 with NiP at the Copenhagen Games 2013, the Svenska E-sportcupen 2013 Grand Finals in Gothenburg and at the Global Invite Division Seasons 13 and 14 of the ESEA. Much more significant, however, are Lindberg's successes with the ninjas in pajamas at the major tournaments . At these tournaments he and his team have finished second four times so far, with which Lindberg won $ 10,000 each and once first place at ESL One Cologne 2014 , where he won $ 20,000 in prize money.
