Rwa returns in Divine
By: MIRAA
Time: 2012-10-11 18:31
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Former EYEBallers and SPEEDLINK star Anders "Rwa" Svensson has revived the Divine team in time for this weekend's THOR Open CS:GO qualifier.

The Swedish player was last seen replacing Emil "striker" Westerberg in Blank in late 2008, with Divine being the team in which he burst onto the scene almost a decade ago.

His return to the scene will just be for this qualifier, though, as the entire team is of the opinion that it will be impossible to play on an active basis once again.

"A permanent comeback will probably never happen," "BANDIT" told fragbite.se.

"We live slightly different lives now, with regular jobs, children, houses and all that. There is simply not enough time!."

Thor Open, which is organised by Fragbite in association with CDON, will be played in Stockholm between December 8-9, with more than €15,000 up for grabs.

Divine will attend this weekend's qualifier with:

Anders "Rwa" Svensson
"BANDIT"
"chea"
"squee"
"koffe"

Below you can find a highlight taken from a 2003 online match in which Svensson shows why he was widely regarded as one of the best players in the Swedish scene during his prime.

2012-10-11 18:56:19
cute clueless guy
2012-10-11 19:54:25
Not for people that actually remember EYEBALLERS or in other words, true CS history. :)
2012-10-11 22:16:10
man, he played nine years ago. At the time you were a kid
2012-10-11 18:43:29
exactly.
2012-10-11 18:48:08
are you trying to say, that you know how old is every random guy @ inet? c00l :x
2012-10-11 18:55:52
said by random polish kid... well, all seems perfect
2012-10-11 19:44:13
he had one of the Best awp's in the world, for many years...great player
2012-10-12 10:11:32
get good ur nothing
2012-10-11 19:07:54
go out stupid schoolboy
2012-10-11 19:43:55
You're probably still young when he was still active, or you're just new to the CS scene.

There were only two players who could match his insane reflexes with the awp back in the days. cogu and KK.
2012-10-11 21:44:48
You must be new to CS then! He got sick awp shots back in the day
2012-10-12 00:37:00
You're disgusting
2012-10-12 01:32:08
BANDIT lol
2012-10-11 18:33:24
No time to prac wont do much damage ;/ anyway any news if thor has acquired an anti cheat to use yet?
2012-10-11 18:34:46
WOAH! Sweet!
2012-10-11 18:34:58
not really worth a news tbh
2012-10-11 18:36:46
Well Rwa was an online star back in the days (even element called him out) but later he was more LAN proven and played with some known teams. Also is that chea from Come As You Are (caYa)? If so, some oldschool comeback right here.
2012-10-12 00:05:51
one of the sickest player in the past
2012-10-11 18:37:35
w0w i'm speechless. living fkn legend
2012-10-11 18:37:42
Rwa was good back in days.
2012-10-11 18:38:19
Pubmasters song : D
2012-10-11 18:38:31
same thought
2012-10-11 22:13:43
Rwa not worth news... Idk why people even consider this a 1.6 community they know nothing out of neo navi and sweden
2012-10-11 18:39:30
I do agree with what you said but "sweden?" like rwa is togolese..
2012-10-11 18:55:08
Never heard.
2012-10-11 18:40:55
Rwa is very famous sniper in sweden
2012-10-11 18:44:52
of course you haven't, you were 6 years old when he was playing
2012-10-11 18:54:16

2012-10-11 20:28:07

2012-10-11 18:41:00
omG!!!!!!!!!
2012-10-11 18:47:03
He is an old school legend.
look that vedio you can simply see the old days style of playing cs
2012-10-11 18:47:12
legend rotflmaocopter
2012-10-11 18:56:50
well, he is among those who followed the scene from the start.
2012-10-11 19:15:49
amazing!!
2012-10-11 18:47:55
Rwa <3 amazing. Rwa, vilden and snajdan 3 most favorite players of all time
2012-10-11 18:52:03
welcome back Rwa.
what a player back in the day :D
2012-10-11 18:52:54
hilarious. 'never heard' guy was an absolute demon in his day.
all these '1.6 forever!!!' fanboys don't even know where 1.6 started.
gl RWA
2012-10-11 18:54:49
So you can only be a 1.6 fan, if you played the game since the BETA's?
2012-10-11 19:03:16
no, but this guys blame RWA just because he back in cs:go
2012-10-11 19:04:28
That has nothing to do with anything I've said.
2012-10-11 20:29:20
i never said they can't be a 1.6 fan, i just find it hilarious that they want something to last 'forever' when they weren't even there for the start of it, don't know the oldschool players who made 1.6 huge and banter people like HeatoN for moving on.
2012-10-11 19:16:06
You weren't there for the invention of oxygen, but I'm sure you would like it to last forever too.
2012-10-11 20:28:17
>invention
>oxygen

lol

2012-10-11 20:54:15
xD
2012-10-11 23:03:00
to be fair, Rwa placed in the top3 in ESWC 2004, in 1.6... it wasn't really BETA :P
2012-10-11 19:55:09
I was talking about him saying "where 1.6 started"
2012-10-11 20:28:39
yes and 1.6 started in 2003, no way near beta
2012-10-12 01:28:05
Well the cs 1.6 as a game started as cs 1.5 and 1.4 and 1.3 etc, so yes, the release of the update was 2003, but the actual start was like 1999-2000, and either way, that has nothing to do with the point i was making.
2012-10-12 10:48:43
I don't think he did, he was not in that spiXel line up.
2012-10-12 03:48:08
lol
2012-10-11 19:09:17
LEGEND!
2012-10-11 18:56:52

2012-10-11 20:47:43
good to see this legendary player back in the game, altough I doubt if he can get back to his old form.
2012-10-11 21:42:03

2012-10-11 22:11:48

2012-10-11 22:24:50
Oldschool players coming back...
CS:GO such a great game!
2012-10-11 22:29:18
I wonder if he still has the fastest awp in the world...
2012-10-11 23:04:07
How old is he?
2012-10-11 23:45:16
28
2012-10-12 02:18:59
for sure its nice to see this old star like RWA,and sad that all youngs dont know nothing about the strongest CS years,when teams realy played hard and strong tactics makes the game realy impressive! nowadays we have a gathering @ all... vivala oldschoolaaa 8)
2012-10-12 00:02:54
RWA was an absolute beast in his time and it dates back even before "Divine".
He used to play in AWP since CS 1.3 times.
2012-10-12 02:20:17
What the fk? am i dreaming? Rwa is back?
2012-10-12 02:38:29
F*** YEAH !! Rwa !! So stunned when i read this. I doubt he can be as good in go as he was in his prime but nice to see these people still want to play
