Career

Richard Landström achieved notable successes in Counter-Strike 1.6 for the first time in 2009 with podium places in DreamHack tournaments . In the following year, the Swede , who played under the nickname Xizt , took part in many national events, but also in international tournaments, with H2k Gaming or Lions. He and Lions won the ASUS Summer 2010 in Kiev . In December 2010, Landström was accepted by the British organization fnatic . He and his teammates, including Finn "karrigan" Andersen at times , won at the Intel Extreme Masters , DreamHack and GameGune events . With the move to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive , Xizt was accepted by the revived Ninjas in Pajamas in August 2012. With the team, Landström dominated the tournaments of the coming months in the new game. His team counted victories at the Electronic Sports World Cup , the ESL Major Series and the Swedish championships. As a result of increasing prize money, other teams were also able to become more professional after the introduction of the major tournaments ; the competition increased and the number of wins at tournaments in 2014 decreased compared to 2013. Nevertheless, Landström was able to celebrate his biggest success of his career so far by winning the ESL One Cologne 2014. Since then, further finals have followed at the ESL One Katowice 2015 or the MLG X Games Aspen CS: GO 2015 .

Landström switched to the Swedish team Fnatic on May 25, 2018 .
