SteelSeries have released an extensive article about f0rest entitled "f0rest - The Silent Killer" which features many topics including the move from fnatic to SK Gaming.

In their latest 1on1 interview, SteelSeries have sat down with the

SK-Gaming's 23 year old "Silent Killer" -

Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg, a player who has racked up 33 major international event wins since 2005.

With the extensive interview/article featuring a wide variety of different topics including the move from fnatic to SK-Gaming and what fuels and motivates f0rest to carry on with professional eSports, the interview is well worth reading.

Below are some extracts of quotes by f0rest in the article:

"Leaving Fnatic was a very tough decision to make, but I also felt that it was necessary for me to do it, as I was starting to lose interest in the game."

"When the SK offer came up I saw it as an opportunity to get a fresh start. It wasn't really a problem transferring to SK, even if they were considered our rivals. It was more about the people on the team that made me switch."

"My family wasn't very supportive at first with playing games all night and missing out on school, Patrik remembers ....

... But when I finally got the opportunity to go abroad and play for 'real money', it suddenly opened up their eyes about what I was doing and they started supporting me – something that they have done ever since."
