Younger brother of SK Gaming star Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg spoke to Team Dignitas about his personal life, the recent mTw vs. SK charity event, his future goals and more.

Jonathan 'miniw' Wallenberg has been out of the game for more than two years but had no problem stepping back into the Counter-Strike boots against Denmark's best at the recent mTw vs. SK charity event. The 21-year-old rarely looked out of place on the old-school maps, regularly opening up bombsites and cleaning up kills to help his team-mates.

But has a taste of high-level Counter-Strike action encouraged him to devote more time to the game and spark an active return?

"It was a lot of fun. All the guys who went to Denmark are really great guys and we had a lot of fun during the tournament and after. I can't really give you a yes or a no on that one, but I wouldn't think so :)"

Perhaps the prior answer to a WCG 2005 question regarding his adventures in Singapore had an influence over his certainty:

"Haha, yea we always had a blast in Speedlink and had a great time on our travels. I guess the funniest thing would be when me and get got in a fight with some Singaporeans at a club because get was eyeballing one of their girlfriends, or was he really? I think they framed get! It ended with me getting a roundkick in my stomach and getting thrown out of the club but it was great fun all the same! We got knocked out of the CS:S tournament pretty quickly and spent the rest of our days shopping and going out having fun."

Looking up to his brother who travels the world, does miniw regret his decision to quit competitive Counter-Strike?

"No, I can't say I regret my decision to step down. Although there can be things I miss, like the travels, the competitions and all the great people around the game. It's really been a lot of fun playing CS at the highest level."
