Hall of Fame: Celebrating GeT_RiGhT
Widely recognized as one of the top Counter-Strike players ever, Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund significantly shaped the game’s meta by defining the lurking role in early CS:GO. As one of the first inductees into the Hall of Fame, his career is a testament to greatness in esports.
There are very few players whose careers can be brought up in discussions about the greatest of all time, but when GeT_RiGhT announced his retirement in 2021, he was undoubtedly in that conversation.
Working closely with fellow Hall of Fame inductee Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg throughout his impressive 13-year span as a player, GeT_RiGhT excelled in both Counter-Strike 1.6 and CS:GO, being named the world’s best player twice and securing numerous championships.
His remarkable dedication, strong work ethic, and love for the game since childhood, when his brother introduced him to it, fueled his drive that ultimately placed him in the spotlight.
His first major performance came in 2007, where he showcased his ability by defeating HeatoN’s Ninjas in Pyjamas for a spot in his first CS 1.6 Major—inspiring HeatoN’s retirement shortly after.
In the years that followed, GeT_RiGhT became a vital part of fnatic, helping the team achieve unmatched success, including major tournament victories and establishing himself as one of the top players globally.
The story of GeT_RiGhT is a journey not just through games but through iconic moments in competitive gaming history. His legacy continues to inspire future players, and he remains a beloved figure in the esports community.
