New SK Gaming player f0rest has been entered into the new fnatic 'hall of fame' by his former team.

fnatic have announced the opening of their 'hall of fame' and the first class of names to be entered into it. Amongst the four initial entrants is new

SK Gaming player

Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg. Other Counter-Strike players include

Oscar 'Archi' Torgersen and

Oskar 'ins' Holm

f0rest's description reads:

"Lindberg is regarded internationally as one of, if the the best Counter-Strike player in the world because of his unique and overly aggressive playing style. He was one of the key players in the 2008/9 season, often leading the team to victory in major events across the world, with "clutch rounds". Originally recruited on the 5th of January 2006 had a long successful career before leaving the team in late 2010. A player vote "player of the year" two years running, something no other player can claim to date."

f0rest spent 1,431 in fnatic and is well known not just for being the team's star player but also one of the greatest individual players of all time. During his time with fnatic he helped them to a number of significant placings including 1st at CPL Winter 2006, 1st at the IEM III Global Finals, 1st at IEM IV Dubai, 2nd at the IEM IV European Championship, 2nd at the IEM IV World Championships, 1st at Arbalet Cup Europe 2010 and 1st at IEM V Shanghai.

Curiously GeT_RiGhT has not been included in the hall of fame despite playing a significant role in the fnatic's incredible 2009, far and away the most successful single year in the history of the team. GeT_RiGhT was a fnatic member for almost two years while ins was a member for the same period of time.
