"Bringing the European heat once more I went out and got you quite an interesting character for the next Ask ESEA edition. His playing career may only have consisted of old school antics with Geekboys and a couple of CPLs with SK.sca from late 2001 to early 2002 but his other work/activities will be well known by all of you once I lay them out. He created geekboys which later went on to be known as sogamed and became a worldwide gaming phenomenon, essentially the myspace of CS players for a while. The spirit of that site now exists as SK-gaming.com which he frequently augments with new features here and there.

He also created the first fully functional demo players for CS, namely geekplay which went on to be rebranded as SKplayer in light of his new employers. He also re-educated us all on the ins and outs of the CS netcode numerous times throughout CS' history and most importantly during the dark age when none of us knew for sure what all those commands did. On a side note I can't help but love the guy for convincing Blue and xenon, two of my favourite Quake players of all time, to don a CS skin and start playing our humble CS mod. He is also responsible for salvaging HeatoN, Potti and XeqtR from the wreckage of NiP to join SK from which point on the rest is history as they say.

I am of course referring to Andreas 'bds' Thorstensson and he'll be answering your questions in the next thrilling update of your favourite online esports audio feature. Send me questions to put to him at askesea@esportsea.com if you know what's good for you!"
