We continue our journey through what the first years of competitive Counter-Strike had best, and the next player to be shown is everyone's favourite Austrian.

Going back to the year of 2003, which was largely dominated by Schroet Kommando, it was in the year in the ESWC established itself as one of the world's biggest competitive events, gathering the best players in Poitiers.

Ninth-seeded side Infernum, who gathered Austrian players who would remain at the top for many years, took on team9, who boasted the second seed. In the first round of the second half, Franz "gore" Burghardt, who later joined mousesports, bought a USP and made great use of it, killing the entire team9 team, four of them with headshots.
