flusha's career in photos

26-8-2023 16:26

With the legendary Swedish rifler having just called time on his career, take a walk down memory lane and remember some of his epic journey.

Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist has brought the curtain down on an 11-year-long career in CS:GO, one filled with prestigious trophies and a plethora of individual accolades. The Swede can count 22 LAN titles, three Major victories, and four HLTV top 20 nods among his impressive list of achievements.

Join HLTV in celebrating flusha's illustrious career by taking a trip down memory lane in photographic form, remembering some of the highs and epic moments delivered by Señor VAC and his trademark cerebral playstyle.

Epsilon celebrate taking second place at DreamHack Summer 2013. flusha began his career in earnest with Epsilon, alongside the likes of JW and Devilwalk

flusha takes part in his first LAN event with fnatic, DreamHack Bucharest 2013. Episilon's promising results saw the majority of the squad get picked up by fnatic

fnatic lament their failure to take down VeryGames in the final of MSI Beat it! 2013 in Beijing. Despite not being a dominant squad, the first iteration of fnatic featuring flusha did produce deep tournament runs

fnatic celebrate the first of a string of tournament wins to end 2014, at the FACEIT League Season 2 Finals in Milan. This version of fnatic cemented itself as a legendary team in CS:GO's history.

fnatic do battle at the DreamHack Winter 2014 Major. fnatic's reputation took a nosedive during this tournament, in the wake of the olofboost incident that took place in their match against LDLC. It was a Major they were favoured to win, but they ultimately withdrew in the face of community pressure

2015 brought yet more success for flusha, with fnatic winning their second Major at ESL One Katowice 2015

flusha firmly etches his name into CS:GO history by securing the ESL One Cologne 2015 Major, his third and the first back-to-back Major win in the game's history

flusha won many more tournaments with fnatic in 2015

At the DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca Major, fnatic could only secure 5-8th, despite the team's immense stature at the time

Moving into 2016, flusha welcomed dennis as his new fnatic teammate following a dip in form under pronax. It gave the squad a boost and they secured a string of trophies

The team could not, however, secure another Major title at MGL Columbus 2016

Nor could the team triumph at the second Major of that year, ESL One Cologne 2016

With fnatic's power waning, flusha made the choice to try his hand at a new adventure in GODSENT mid-way through 2016, alongside long-time teammates Krimz and JW

fnatic and GODSENT change three

flusha would ultimately be named the 10th-best player of 2016. It was the fourth and final time he would make HLTV's top 20 list

The GODSENT experiment was not a fruitful one for flusha and co., and soon he was back in the black and orange jersey of fnatic

fnatic and GODSENT swap two

flusha followed up his Katowice victory by taking the WESG trophy not long after

More success at Majors, however, eluded flusha, and after crashing out of the FACEIT Major 2018, he would embark again on a new journey

flusha featuring for Cloud9's roster at BLAST Pro Series Istanbul in 2018, one he joined with hopes of a new start, but his time there ended abruptly as he took a break following a death in the family

Once again, flusha's time away from fnatic was short, and soon he was back on the roster following his return to activity, this time playing alongside youngster Brollan

What scares you the most? The unstoppable marching of time that is slowly guiding us all towards an inevitable death. Given that HLTV features photos of some people for more than a 10 years period, you can instantly spot a tragedy of inevitable aging.

ageing is only an inevitable tragedy if you make it one

not a 100% but I just think if you worry too much about death it takes away from experiencing life

When did you get the impression I worry too much? I only said flusha had changed a lot.

2023-08-26 17:50

I got this impression from "The unstoppable marching of time that is slowly guiding us all towards an inevitable death" and "You're ok with dying I presume? I'm not."

2023-08-26 18:28

1) Just an observation 2) Something that most people share which doesn't make em anxious last time I checked.

Only cus he’s gone bald lol. Face-wise you really can’t tell much difference

2023-08-26 17:02

His face has changed a lot. He used to look somewhat naive, elated and kind. That's all now gone.

2023-08-26 17:40

Some people look better at 40 than they do at 20. Especially men.

2023-08-26 17:28

Yep, they look different. Aging and shit.

The CSGO coonmunity really owe him a lot of respect. Hes the OG macro player but the every1 hated him and fnatic too much to appreciate his plays. It’s not too late to press F now I guess.

2023-08-26 16:59

a lot of respect for cheating? lol

2023-08-26 16:58

Quite crazy to think that without Flusha donating money to the Brazilian core they would have maybe never have had that era.

And lulquid prolly woulda won a major, but knowing them, they’ll probably still have choked anyway.

2023-08-26 17:00

His hair disappeared at the same time as his career.

So many salty ppl on here, but also, what’s with that random fer pic?

2023-08-26 17:06

The caption explains it.

2023-08-26 17:14

Yeah, didn’t know he donated to help the Brazilians out

2023-08-29 19:44

Him & fifflaren, ESEA and other ppl donated money so they could buy plane tickets to go to qualify for the major. KaBum , the team they were under did not want to / could not pay for tickets. They qualified and got picked up by Keyd Stars to play under their name at the major.

2023-09-20 04:31

Ah, I saw that flusha helped, after going through the article. But I didn’t know that fiff helped as well

2023-08-26 22:43

imagine blatantly cheating at the game and being celebrated to this level after you retire. look how hard he dropped off after the VACening happened with emilio, kqly, smn & sf etc getting banned. his knowledge and skill dropped off a cliff. smn said at the time that 'at least 30% of the pro scene' were cheating. you think theres nobody else at pro level who cheated? he stopped using whatever he was using and it showed. after 2015 he barely achieved anything he must be laughing his ass off that he got away with it.

2023-08-27 00:33

Imagine being so horribly bad at the game that you cant even tell when someone is cheating... The VACening was in 2014 and flusha was HLTV top 10 2014,2015 & 2016. "Being dumb is like being dead, it is not hard on you, but on your family and friends" The reason flusha "dropped of" is because all of swedish cs dropped of. They were not able to adapt to the meta like other teams and therefore got left behind. Same with NiP, they didnt really achieve much at all after Astralis changed the meta.

2023-08-28 19:17

i know im bad at the game. i dont care about that. but ive been playing on and off since 2004 and following the competitive scene since 2008. if you actually think flusha never cheated when other pros were banned and one of those even said plenty others were using as well, you're delusional. there isnt a single other player at the top even simple or zywoo who have anywhere near as many outrageously suspicious clips as flusha does.

2023-08-30 10:46

The reason why pros dont have this many "suspicious" clips is because what he did then is just what happens every game nowadays. In Ropz early career in fpl and in his first team, he also got accused of cheating by plenty of pros. And that guy does way crazier shit than flusha ever did. You think he cheats too? Have you seen his flicks and spray transfers?

2023-08-31 17:20

theres a difference between flicks and sprays and some of the absolutely blatant shit flusha used to do like clicking to shoot randomly and the aim just happens to snap and direct him to where the enemy is through solid objects like what he did vs navi on dust2 A site.. unnatural aim adjustments like the inferno short clip where hes spraying a close range opponent point blank and the aim adjusts to headshot the guy in the background. NOBODY would have been able to naturally make that adjustment because you would never even notice the guy in the back when full mouse1'ing an enemy right in your face. anyway wasting my time its clear some people just can't accept that there was still cheaters at the top of the scene even after half a dozen pro players got banned. you really think they caught all of them? madness

2023-09-06 18:23

The fact that you dont know that the streams used to make shit extremely delayed tells me you dont know much about the game. Also the fact that he was running at the same time as he got the guy in the background, if you are running and shooting where you are pointing doesnt really matter. The bullets fly randomly when you run and shoot. You really dont think they were looking extremely hard at what he was doing during tournaments? He was accused of cheating ALOT for a long time and he was still HLTV top 10 2 years after the big ban wave started.

2023-09-07 13:50

Looking at the las photo you would think that guy is 50 years old

The greatest LOOSER who used CHEATS and stolen big titles for Fnatic in 2014-2015 and never admitted.

stolen big titties?

2023-08-27 16:21

2023-08-27 23:59

Damn so many silvers on HLTV, there is no proof of him cheating and if he did cheat you dont think that 10 years of Majors and like 50 other tournaments per year would catch his cheats? Atleast use your brain a tiny bit.. In all "cheat videos" everything that happens is easily explained if you have played or even just watched pro cs before.

2023-08-28 00:27

"flusha competes at IEM Katowice 2020 in Poland. This event would be the last time flusha ever graced an elite CS:GO LAN". Yikes, big RIP :(

2023-08-27 03:01

They won ESL Pro League 11 after and that was his ultimate trophy. Or I could be wrong?

2023-08-27 08:37

That $1400 donation makes him a chad

2023-08-27 04:34

It changed CSGO history, because without that money, probably everything that happened to FalleN&co, would never happen, or at least not the way it did
