SK Gaming's f0rest has been named the HLTV.org MVP of GameGune 2011 following a unanimous decision by the public and experts.

GameGune 2011 was conquered by

SK Gaming after the Swedish team defeating

ESC Gaming swe in the grand finals of the Spanish event with a score of 16:14 on de_inferno.

Following the end of the event, HLTV.org opened their MVP and All-Star polls and after 2500 votes, as well as contributions from journalists at cnfrag.com, gamesworld, readmore.de, greatfrag.com and SK-Gaming, the results of the polls are now in.

HLTV.org have announced that

SK Gaming star

Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg has been voted the MVP of GameGune 2011 following a unanimous decision by both the websites public and expert poll.

This is what HLTV.org had to say about f0rest:

"Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg was the MVP of last year's GameGune while leading fnatic to the title, which incidently was also his best tournament of the year. Exactly one year later, his form peaked again as he won his first MVP title in 2011. Even though competition for the award was tight, Lindberg was the first pick of both the public (31%) and the experts (42%), while his closest follower was Andreas "MODDII" Fridh from ESC Gaming.

SK Gaming's Lindberg has been slowly improving his form throughout the year, starting with underperforming at IEM5 European Finals and IEM5 WC, but then getting into All-Star lineups of the next two major tournaments, Xperia PLAY and DreamHack Summer. The latest of his achievements is the MVP title at GameGune, where his team also won their second championship in a row and it was Lindberg's third GameGune medal in five years.

Looking at his performance through the numbers, he didn't excel as much as we've been used to from him these past years, but it wasn't really possible to stand out as every member of SK Gaming did a great job individually. His most impressive stat was being the most consistent player with a rating above 1.00 in every match, the only one at the event with a 100% record in that regard."

Furthermore, f0rest alongside fellow countryman and team-mate

Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund made it onto the websites All-Star lineup alongside fnatic's

Rasmus 'GuX' Ståhl, ESC Gaming's

Andreas 'moddii' Fridh and the only non-swede

Yegor 'markeloff' Markelov from Natus Vincere.

Bellow is what was said about the SK-Gaming players:

"The MVP of the tournament is usually the most picked player for the All-Star lineup, so it is no surprise that SK's Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg earned 82% of experts' votes and 75% from the public."

"Another member of the winning SK Gaming squad found a place in the All-Star lineup as 61% of expert and 53% of public opinions included Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, who was the best rated player of the playoffs. This is Alesund's 3rd All-Star lineup appearance this year, after IEM5 World Championship and DreamHack Summer."
