Exclusive interview: GeT RiGhT announces Twitch switch from CSGO DexertoChristopher \u2018GeT_RiGhT\u2019 Alesund has announced his departure from professional Counter-Strike, as he moves to Twitch streaming full-time. [jwplayer f7GYaDHg] 2021 has just got started and Sweden are already stealing the show. Just days after PGL announced the Stockholm Major, GeT_RiGhT has decided to call time on his legendary competitive career. During an exclusive interview with Dexerto, the 30-year-old discusses the career highs and lows, his battle with Crohn\u2019s disease and what the future holds for the Swedish titan. GeT_RiGhT interview GeT_RiGhT & f0rest: End of an era The Swede has a CS legacy like no other, but an integral part of those wins and losses was his partnership with countryman Patrik \u2018f0rest\u2019 Lindberg. The two share a long list of tournament wins together, including the coveted Major. The two Counter-Strike behemoths have played together for over a decade, and it\u2019s clear that the end of this partnership is one of the most emotional aspects of GeT_RiGhT\u2019s retirement. \u201cIt\u2019s been a rollercoaster, but at the same time, it\u2019s been a beautiful ride.\u201d Alesund goes on to describe their partnership as \u201cthe biggest highlight\u201d of his career. CSGO & Crohn\u2019s: A battle worth fighting It may shock a lot of people, but GeT RiGhT describes living with the disease as being \u201cone of the best things that ever happened\u201d to him, as well as one of the worst ones. He describes his lifelong battle with the stomach pain that accompanies the illness, but goes on to explain that he\u2019s thankful, as the official diagnosis brought with it a sense of both physical and mental relief. In terms of playing CS, however, he describes it as \u201chorrible.\u201d The associated pain, alongside weight and blood loss meant that focusing on the game became a trial all in its own. After asking himself whether it was worth risking his health, his response shows a mixed bag of emotions. \u201cYes and no really,\u201d he admitted, as the pro player life and its fandom are always worth it, but the two day bedridden recovery period certainly has left a scar. GeT_RiGhT: Twitch streaming & beyond It\u2019s important to note that the Swedish legend will not be leaving CS. He sees the game as home, explaining: \u201cI grew up in the scene and I\u2019ll do anything it takes to help it grow.\u201d While he admits he can\u2019t go into exact details about his future plans, he sees Twitch and content creation as a \u201ccompetition on another level,\u201d as he explores a plethora of games such as League of Legends and Warzone with more creative freedom. GeT_RiGhT explored his excitement for Valorant, but clarified that he\u2019s \u201cnot going to become a professional Valorant player.\u201d With that said, he does believe that the game \u201chas huge potential to overtake CS:GO\u201d at some point in down the line. Throughout this entire interview, you get a sense that the Valorant pro (sorry Chris, we had to) is in the best place he\u2019s ever been. We\u2019ll be excited to see where his streaming career takes him, whether it\u2019s Riot\u2019s Future Earth or otherwise. So keep an eye out, he\u2019s not going anywhere anytime soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
